Mel Robbins' six-step morning routine is gaining popularity, but experts caution that it may not work for everyone. As a licensed psychotherapist, the author highlights that while the routine may resonate with Robbins, individual lifestyles, biology, and psychology play significant roles in determining effectiveness. Abruptly waking up as suggested can induce stress due to sleep inertia. It's essential to consider personal flexibility in morning routines rather than rigid adherence to popular methods, as what works for one may undermine another's well-being.
Robbins advises skipping the snooze button and immediately springing out of bed. On the surface, it sounds like solid tough-love advice for anyone with a snooze button habit. But science shows that waking abruptly can be a recipe for stress, especially if you suffer from sleep inertia. Sleep inertia is that groggy, disoriented feeling that happens during the transition from sleep to wakefulness.
Just because a routine resonates with Mel Robbins doesn't mean it's a universal prescription for success. I've been hearing from individuals who say Robbins' routine doesn't start their day off strongly as hoped.
