The importance of a good morning routine

Grayson Scrivens and Cole Defendi
April 29, 2026

The alarm sings, it’s 6am, and it’s time to go to school, but let’s be honest, you don’t want to wake up. You spent all last night scrolling TikTok, and now you’re rushing downstairs, throwing everything together at the last minute.

This shouldn’t be a reality; a morning routine is essential. There are small changes to help with the morning craziness and calm the mind from the jump. It is very important that this new routine starts the night before. Make sure you go to sleep at a reasonable time, around 10 p.m. Now, when you wake up, you are less likely to snooze the alarm, giving you much more time to get ready for the day instead of rushing.

The final, and arguably most important, part of the routine is to make sure you eat breakfast that supports the body first thing in the morning. These small changes boosts your body with energy and helps with mental fatigue. Don’t snooze your alarm till 7am; make the change now.
