Getting enough sleep is a struggle in and of itself for the average college student. But there\u2019s a big difference between sleeping enough and being truly rested.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a proposition for you: why not rest through your alarms rather than simply sleeping through them?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The blasting signal from your iPhone or alarm clock that interrupts your sleep cycle (and likely your roommate\u2019s) is the universally agreed-upon worst part of the morning. With so many of us already disinclined to like mornings, you may be wondering why a sleep-deprived college student would advocate for the importance of embracing well-spent mornings \u2013 especially the\u00a0 early ones. But while sleep is important, resting is just as essential for all aspects of your health: so why don\u2019t we awake on time more often so that we can enjoy a peaceful morning that allows us to rest in the Lord? Instead we do that thing that \u201cbusy\u201d people do (i.e. run behind and then play catch up for the rest of the day).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The only thing worse than waking up to your noisy alarm is\u2026 not. Literally – forgetting to set one and missing your 8 a.m. class \u2026 better hope you didn\u2019t have a quiz that morning (or an exam!). And you may think that by hearing your alarm buzz and snoozing it to catch some extra zzz\u2019s, you\u2019re doing yourself a favor \u2013 when in reality, it is far more detrimental.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In case you don\u2019t believe me, let\u2019s rewind to the fall semester of my freshman year. I\u2019m taking biology at 8 a.m., a class located a good 10-minute walk from my humble abode in Printy (big shoutout to our beloved freshman dorm on campus). My alarm goes off at maybe 7:30, but I snooze and lay in bed until 7:50, only to lurch from my unstable bed risers into the chaos of my room to throw on some clothes and literally speed-walk (or on some days, <\/span>run<\/span><\/i>) to lecture. I stumble into the lecture hall with 100+ other freshmen students who don\u2019t seem to mind my unruly appearance as much as they mind my very awkward crawl\/jump\/leap over their legs, backpacks, and notebooks to reach an empty seat \u2026 in the middle of my professor\u2019s prayer to begin the lecture. But hey, it\u2019s not <\/span>MY<\/span><\/i> fault that the only open seat was in the <\/span>very<\/span><\/i> middle of the row!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wish I could say this story was a single experience or that I learned my lesson immediately after \u2026 but it took nearly a year for me to learn just how important it is to avoid that classic mistake of allowing mornings to work against you, instead of with you. Hindsight is 20\/20 vision, which is why I am sharing my freshman-year misery in contrast with my current favorite \u201cmorning\u201d habits. To show you that it\u2019s worth waking up an hour earlier, I am giving you four of my specific routines that I like to pack into as many mornings as I can:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Food FUELS.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Breakfast is actually a game-changer. While I don\u2019t necessarily make it to Chuck\u2019s for a feast every morning with my friends (we call this \u201cbrekkie,\u201d and we still can\u2019t figure out what makes the home-cooked potatoes SO INCREDIBLY GOOD), I need a quick yogurt or granola bar, especially on mornings packed with long lectures or exams. College is NOT a sprint \u2013 it requires stamina, and nourishing your body physically is a good place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Caffeine FILLS.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Like a video game character whose energy bar is filled by some things and depleted by others, there are things in life that will fill you up and bring you down. As a student, the battle is figuring out the balance. The goal here is not to deprive yourself of sleep to wake up early, but there are only so many hours in a day. So after a late night, don\u2019t be afraid to swap 10 extra minutes of sleep for a Rinnova run after breakfast. If you like caffeine like I do, you\u2019ll find this a beneficial trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      • Community FREES.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        After you\u2019ve had some breakfast and coffee, and made it to your 8 or 9 a.m. class (on time), you get a break at 10 a.m.: CHAPEL! I find this daily rendezvous with friends as we praise the Lord very freeing \u2013 and we all love to hear an encouraging message. As you hit the stride of the semester and days get busier, you\u2019ll find yourself sometimes missing community because of a rigorous schedule, which is why we all adore chapel. It\u2019s a scheduled hour in everyone\u2019s day to reconnect with each other, and with the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Jesus FULFILLS.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Whether as soon as you wake up, right after class, or before your lunch, you can find time in the morning to have a devotion. Dr. White loves to remind us how beneficial it is to spend time with the Lord first thing in the morning with his saying, \u201cNo Bible? No breakfast!\u201d But regardless of where it falls in your schedule, rest in the Lord in the morning. You won\u2019t regret the time spent with your heavenly Father.<\/span><\/p>\n


          \n<\/span>College can spiral into a vicious cycle of running behind and then trying to catch up. Rather than lounging in bed for longer (like I did as a na\u00efve freshman), perhaps embrace the challenge of making time for breakfast, coffee, chapel\/community, and devotions EARLY in the day. <\/span>Instead of waking up and preparing well for the day, for too long I allowed myself to be at a disadvantage by running back to the dorm AFTER my morning classes and chapel to get ready for my day\u2026after it was already half over. Don\u2019t make the same mistake. While it\u2019s not about being perfect, it is about preparing yourself \u2013 physically, mentally, and spiritually \u2013 to make the most of your days the Lord has blessed you with.<\/span><\/p>\n
