A 90-Second Trick in the Shower to Help Wake You Up Better

This may make your mornings better or worse, depending on how you do it.

According to an article in Entrepreneur magazine, a 90-second trick in the shower can help wake you up in the morning.

The idea behind it is that a hot shower doesn't actually do a great job of waking you up.  In fact, researchers have found it can do the opposite.  After a hot shower, there's a sudden decrease in body temperature, which can make you tired.

So instead, here's what you should do: At the end of your shower, turn off the hot water and make it as cold as possible for 30 seconds.  Then crank the hot water back up for another 30 seconds, and finish with 30 more seconds of cold water.

According to the article, it's much better at waking you up than hot water alone.
