Wake Up At 5 AM - Amazing Benefits Of Waking Up Early!
Let’s be honest.
For most people, waking up early in the morning isn’t easy, especially when it’s still
dark.
But, there is something to that “early bird gets the worm” theory!
Waking up early in the morning doesn’t just mean getting more out of your day, but it
can also have a positive effect on your health and overall performance.
Here are ten reasons to rise early!
Number 1 - Plan Your Day
Have you ever felt like you were constantly rushing to get things done all day long?
Like you weren’t running your own life?
It’s safe to say that we’ve all had those days…
In fact, most people are reactive when it comes to managing their day.
Rather than plan ahead, they tackle things as they come.
When you start waking up earlier, you’ll find that you don’t have to rush anywhere,
and you’ll have time to plan your day.
Having the time to plan how you’re going to navigate your day allows you to prioritize
your tasks and complete them in the most logical and efficient way.
Number 2 - Improve Sleep Quality
Keeping your body on a sleep routine, will make it easier to go to sleep and wake up
naturally at the same time every day.
This is important for your body’s internal clock.
When you go to bed late, and sleep in on the weekends, your body’s natural rhythm gets
disrupted.
If you wake up early, you are naturally sleepier in the evening.
And being on a predictable routine, will help you sleep better each night and wake up feeling
more rested.
Number 3 - Improve Timeliness
People who wake up early are more likely to be punctual.
Rushing around every morning can be tiring, while waking up early gives you more time
to prepare and be timely.
Whether it is showing up for work, an appointment, or a class, rising early allows you to be
on time, which, in itself, has tremendous advantages.
Number 4 - Better Concentration
Starting your day early improves your concentration.
In addition to being able to focus on goals and tasks, getting up early means that by
the time you get to work or school, you’ve had hours to properly acclimate yourself to
the day.
As a result, you’ll be more alert during peak hours.
Number 5 - Enhance Productivity
When you wake up early and begin your day with focused, clear intentions, you are more
likely to actually achieve those goals throughout the day.
Think about those days when you wake up late, with your mind in a fog, and all day you feel
like you’re just trying to catch up.
If you begin your day with a set, purposeful plan, chances are you’ll end it that way,
too.
Number 6 - More Proactive
Early risers are more likely to plan long-term goals for themselves, and actually make things
happen.
They are also better at self-starting rather than needing constant supervision.
It's an asset, particularly at work, where proactive employees are more likely to get
positive performance reviews.
Waking up early in the morning allows you to be proactive.
This means, having a greater degree of willingness and ability to take action to change a situation
to your advantage.
Number 7 - Better Health
People who wake up early tend to eat breakfast, while later risers are often rushing out the
door and have to grab something on the go, or they just skip the meal altogether.
The problem with skipping breakfast is that it leads to poor eating habits later in the
day.
Rising early isn’t just linked to your actual health, but to how you feel about yourself.
It may actually make you feel that you are leading a healthier life!
Number 8 - More Energy
Managing your energy levels is very important, and if you exercise in the morning, you’ll
have way more energy throughout the rest of the day.
When you work out in the morning, you’re also more likely to stick to a routine.
You get it out of the way early, and then you don’t have to worry about it.
This makes complete sense, when you think about how full your afternoons can get…
Morning workouts are a great way to give your body an extra boost, but it’s not just about
the boost, by working out each morning, you’ll actually sleep better at night.
Number 9 - More Success
Most entrepreneurs are early risers.
It seems to be a common trend among most successful people.
Mornings give you time to work on a side hustle, or focus your time on big goals.
You’ll have more time to find success in things that are important to you.
If you want to achieve more, waking up early should be the first task on your list tomorrow
morning!
Number 10 - Increase Happiness
Waking up earlier can affect your level of happiness.
Perhaps because of all the advantages associated with rising early, you are more likely to
be happy.
The feeling of being in control, getting things done, being clear-minded and healthier leads
to high levels of happiness.
It just takes starting this one habit to have an effect in every area of your life!
Some people aren’t made for waking up early, and that’s okay.
It’s not a character flaw or a sign of laziness; your sleep cycles are just geared for staying
up late and sleeping in.
If staying up late and sleeping in works for you, great!
Keep doing it.
But, for most people who work a 9-5 schedule, sleeping in until 10AM just isn’t possible.
If you want extra time to be productive, try making the switch to waking up a bit earlier.
