Night owls are naturally more likely to feel annoyed when the morning arrives, cursing the early hour and their lack of energy to spring out of bed. But internalizing this feeling rather than trying to force a chipper mood could prove far more beneficial.

“Accept that you’re not a morning person, and focus on the things you can do,” said Baron. “Add some things into your morning routine that you enjoy, like listening to the radio as you get ready or sitting and drinking your coffee on the porch things that will make your morning as pleasant as it can be.”

The morning may not be the best time for you, but trying to make the most of it can go a long way.
