Step 1: Figure out time you must wake up
The evening before the big day, figure out exactly what time you need to be up in the morning. Work backwards from the time of your appointment, factoring in how long you’ll need to shower, have breakfast, and so on.Subtract the total amount of time from your appointment time… That’s when you absolutely have to wake up.
第一步：确定你必须起床的时间
在重要日子到来的那个晚上，要确定你早晨起床的时间。 从会面的时间往前算，将洗漱，吃早饭和其他时间计算在内。减去会面的所需时间，那就是你必须起床的时间。

Tip:Don’t pad your times; if you do, you’ll know you have extra time built in and you won’t take your wake-up time seriously.
小贴士：不要将时间安排得过紧。如果你那样做，你就会知道你需要有额外的时间，而且你不会要起床的时间当回事。

Step 2: Prepare night before
The night before the event, make whatever preparations you can to save yourself some time the next morning.
第二步：提前准备
在重要日子到来的那个晚上，将一切能做准备的都准备好，来为第2天节省时间。

Step 3: Get a friend to call
Call a friend who’s an early-riser and ask them to call you at your designated wake-up time.
第三步：让朋友叫你起床
让早起的朋友在需要起床的时间给你打电话。

Tip: Don’t forget to thank your special friend afterwards with a small gift or notion.
小贴士：别忘了给你朋友带个小礼物以示感谢或言谢。

Step 4: Set alarm
Set the most annoying alarm clock you can find to your designated wake-up time. Then set as many more as you can get your hands on to go off each minute leading up to it.
第四步：定闹钟
用最烦人的闹钟以便叫醒你，然后尽可能将时间往前设置。

Step 5: Go to bed early
When everything’s set, go to bed. Make sure you “turn in” no later than eight hours before you need to be awake.
第五步：早睡
当一切都准备好时，该去睡觉了。要确保在起床时间前至少8小时上床睡觉。

Tip:If you have roommates, ask them to respect your need for sleep. If they have to play video games past your bedtime, they can mute the TV.
小贴士：如果你有室友，让他们配合你的睡觉时间。如果他们必须在你睡觉时间外玩游戏，让他们将电视调成无声。

Step 6: Pick good sleeping position
Pick a good sleeping position. Sleep experts recommend sleeping on your side, and advise against sleeping on your stomach.
第六步：摆好睡觉姿势
选一个好的睡觉姿势。专家推荐侧身睡，建议睡觉时不要压到胃。

Step 7: Get up when first alarm
When the first alarm sounds, get up immediately. You don’t want the rest of them going off, do you?
第七步：闹钟响第一声时就起床。
闹钟响第一声时马上起床。你不想让闹钟响个不停，是吧？

Step 8: Complete morning routine
Complete your morning routine exactly as planned, using only as much time as you allotted yourself for each activity. Or less—if you finish early, you’ll have time to relax and gather your thoughts.
第八步：按往常一样做早晨应做的事
按计划做早晨应做的事。每个步骤都要按分配的时间做，或是用更少的时间——你越早完成，你就越有时间来放松和整理思绪。

Step 9: Go get 'em
Now go get ‘em, tiger! Ace that interview! Land that job! Attaboy!
第九步：大显身手吧
现在大显身手吧。搞定面试，找到工作。好样的！
