Secret to the Perfect Morning Routine Revealed by a Mathematician
Do you often wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Here’s how to start the day right: a British scientist has developed a formula to ensure you start off on the right foot.
The British Science Association chief Anne-Marie Imafidon believes that having this formula is a superb way to start the day correctly, as reported by the Sun. She created this sunrise-harvesting recipe after she investigated a survey of 2,000 UK residents to determine the most effective morning routine.
6:44 a.m. is the best time to wake up
According to the poll commissioned by Special K Crunchy Oat Granola, 6:44 a.m. is the best time to wake up, while 10 minutes in the shower is the optimum time to wash. In addition, people should spend 18 minutes eating breakfast and 21 minutes exercising, as per the study.
The scientist recommends that you double the amount of time you spend eating breakfast, then add that to how long you spend taking showers and exercising, in order to determine if you have the optimal morning routine.
Participants should then subtract the amount of time they slept from the recommended eight hours—for example, seven and a half hours for seven hours and 12 minutes of sleep, the Independent said. Finally, they should calculate the difference in hours between the time they woke and 7:12 a.m., using the formula.
Divide the time spent on breakfasting, showering, and exercising by the sum of the sleeping and waking up times.
To determine the optimal length of time for your morning routine, add up the time spent on other morning activities such as reading the newspaper or doing crosswords, then divide by two. You should end up with a number that is at least 37 if you want to start your day off right.
It’s true that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to seizing the day. According to Imafidon, people don’t all have the same routine, but a combination of the elements should be key to ‘getting out of bed on the right side.’ Many people, she points out, admit to waking up in a bad mood, so this is especially important.
According to the Sun, 50% of adults do not get a good night’s sleep, and 29% get out of the “wrong” side of the bed. Meanwhile, 36% say they are “stuck in a rut” when it comes to their morning routine.
