Wake up like Batman

Waking up like Batman, really? The beginning to often determines the end, so you might as well start it right, and the end of Batman's days is putting an end to crime, pretty good ending right? So why not start your day like Batman...........
Batman waking up from a dream about Catwoman.

1. Sleep well. It's always important to sleep well to wake up great. Read the Sleep like Batman article for more information.
2. Wake up, get out of bed, do one hundred push-ups. One hundred push-ups? Yes one hundred push-ups, it's not as hard as you think and it'll really get your blood pumping and even make you look better throughout the day.
3. Eat breakfast. This is probably the most important part of waking up like Batman. Breakfast is no doubt the most important meal of the day(believe it because it's true). It sort of balances you through out the day, so random moments of fatigue or hunger will be eliminated, and remember to drink your water. For more information read the Eat like Batman article.
4. Groom yourself. Brush your teeth, then comb your hair, and then dress yourself. You'll feel better about yourself, and feel even more awake. I'll probably write an article about how to do it like batman later.
5. Last but not least, clean your room. Sure Alfred probably cleans Batman's room but if Alfred went on a vacation(as if) for a week I'm sure Batman would clean his room in the mourning. A clean room represents an organized person and you'll feel it too. Then you'll be ready to beat up criminals, climb mountains, party like a rock star, go to school, or go to work, like Batman.

Think like Batman

We all think in a daily lives. To talk, read, write, learn, and solve problems. Batman probably would be the number one person who could set the world record for thinking, and probably the best at it. So how do you think like him? Read on.....
Batman thinking because he does that, often.
1.The first thing you should do is to "think" of your brain as if it's a muscle. Just like we can build our selves to be stronger and faster we can also build our brains to do the same thing, but in a different sort of way.
2. How do you get stronger and faster? You workout right? Well it's the same with your brain. Unfortunately we don't have a bunch different excercises that we just know about(pushups, crunches, squats, etc.) but I've looked and I can give you some.
3. Read ALOUD! Probably one of the most effective excercises for the brain is to read out loud. It'll improve comprehension, vocabulary, writing, speaking, creativity, etc.
4. Meditate. When most people think of meditation people think of "...mmmmmmm...." but it's actually an amazing brain excercise to improve focus, but to meditate one must learn how to meditate. Here's how I learned: howcast-How-To-Meditate
5. Write a personal journal. This is a great way to organize your thoughts. This also helps you keep focus and improve your over all writing skills.
6. Play videogames. All types of videogames are good to play, although they don't all improve the same type of skill(ex. shooters raise focus, hand-eye coordination, and response times as strategy games raise strategical thinking, problem-solving, etc.) Videogames is probably the most underrated brain excercise in the world, although it's one of the best.
7. Brain excercise websites. There is actually alot of good brain excercising websites out there to improve brain function through the various computer games provided to improve memory, awareness, etc. Unfortunately they come at a cost. If you can afford it by all means do use it because it would be one of the wisest investments you'll ever make, but for the people who can't afford sites like lumosity( a very, very good website for training the brain, but also very expensive) there is always freebrainagegames.com/ which is a very good alternative(if some what repetitive) website to choose.
8. So those are the excercises, here is the workout.
  • Brain excercise website
  • Reading aloud for 1 hour
  • Meditate for 15 minutes
Doing this(with at least once a day of writing in your journal) once a day will leave you with a clear and more efficient brain in about a week. It'll take sometime to get to Batman level but wait a little, you'll get there.

Sleep like Batman

Yes he even has a certain way he sleeps.
Batman sleeping.
1. There's a certain way you sleep and most people don't realize this, it's called REM(Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. This way works as a process or sleep cycle every human goes through every session takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes. So you'd want to schedule you sleep time in 1 hour and 30 minute periods.

Ex. So let's say Batman just came back at 3a.m. from rescuing the city from Penguin or The Joker or whoever, what he'd do is fix himself up and everything(take a shower maybe) so that would be 30 minutes. He'd set his alarm for 11a.m.(7 hours and 30 minutes, 1 hour and 30 minutes times 5) and wake up and do what Batman(or Bruce Wayne) does.
2. Always get AT LEAST 6 HOURS of sleep anything less is unhealthy. Remember 1 hour and 30 minutes is how much time it takes for one process. Construct  a sleep pattern that includes at least 4 sessions(6 hours) everyday. Goodnight and good luck.
