Long hours of sleep leaves the body dehydrated. Waking up and having sufficient amounts of water keeps you well hydrated and will make you feel naturally energised.

Many people are addicted to newspapers or other sources of reading news in the morning. This is a great way to make the brain cells active after the long rest. Though newspapers and news channels carry a lot of distressed news, one can rather engage in watching something positive at the beginning of the day like an inspiring YouTube video, or reading a few pages of a favourite book.

Exercising the brain cells is as important as physical activity as it keeps you motivated and positive throughout the day. A few minutes of silence spent alone meditating is again a great way for feeling light headed and serene in the morning.
