Ever wondered why you eerily wake up just before your alarm? That’s your internal clock piping up, and it loves routine like you love coffee. Once you have had an early-rise rhythm going for a fortnight, nothing should throw it off – except that weekend sleep-in. “Avoid big differences between weekdays and weekends, says Dr Anderson, or risk resetting everything.

ENJOY IT
This is most important of all. Mornings get a bad rap, but done right, they can be your most energising, productive hours. No deadlines, no other people, and a legitimate excuse to eat a huge breakfast (hey, it is got to last you). It’s fact: you snooze, you lose.
