Tip 1) Rest the Night Before
Loads of retailers start offering deals around midnight on Black Friday. To make the most of it and avoid missing out, get enough rest the night before, so you’re feeling refreshed and have your wits about you when those bargains go live. Many places may wait until the early hours of the morning before coming up with some of their larger bargains, so be sure you set your alarms so you don’t sleep through them!
If you have a history of mistakenly turning off your phone, see below for some great alarm clocks that will make sleeping in on this and any other major day difficult. Yes, we understand that getting up early may not appear to be a big deal, but believe us when we say you don’t want to miss out on these discounts.
