My New Year's Resolution Is to Become a Morning Person, and Here's How I'm Doing It

This Ember Temperature Control Ceramic Mug ($80) will keep your drink at your desired temperature for however long you decide to nurse it, which, in the mornings, is kind of a game changer.

This Philips Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Colored Sunrise Simulation ($115, originally $127) lets you wake up with the sun, even if it's raining.

For a fun and effective way to get your mind working in the morning, try writing in The Five-Minute Journal ($25). If you set the day's intentions, it'll make you that much more excited to tackle them.

If you have a few workout essentials in your home, you're that much more likely to get moving in the morning. Use this BalanceFrom GoYoga All-Purpose 1/2-Inch Extra Thick Yoga Mat ($14, originally $16) for either a morning flow or as a place to do some push-ups.

You know when it's really hard to be a morning person? If you're traveling. Luckily, these Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands ($11) can fit into even the lightest carry on, and enable you to have a home gym wherever you are.

Look, try as we might, sometimes we need a little more help in the mornings. Enter the Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen ($49). Combining the protein from collagen with the caffeine from matcha, this formula is best blended with milk to create a delicious latte. It'll keep you awake and alert all morning long.

When you wake up in the morning, drink water. It'll help you feel like you're starting your day on a positive note. We like using this Corkcicle Hybrid Insulated Canteen ($40) because you can keep it by your bed and it will keep the water cool all night long.

Almost everyone's face is puffy in the morning. Get your blood flowing and ready for the day with this Nurse Jamie UpLift Facial Massaging Beauty Roller ($69).

Wake yourself up with this Clinique All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage ($33). You'll both look awake and feel awake. Pro tip: keep it in the freezer for an extra cool blast.

If we brush our teeth in the morning, we're automatically more awake. Try this Oral-B Pro 1000 Electric Power Rechargeable Battery Toothbrush ($40, originally $50) for a really thorough brush.

This product is a game changer. Wake up in the morning, and immediately turn on this Norpro Decorative Cup Warmer ($15, originally $20). This way, your coffee, tea, or hot water will stay hot as you get ready.
