If you’re the type of person who has trouble getting up in the morning, it’s time to change that. Even if you can get up on time, there are still benefits to waking up early every day — from being able to exercise before work, saving money on transportation and having more time to get things done at work and at home. If you’re not convinced that rising early is worth it, this guide will convince you otherwise!
More time for important things
If you're one of those people who think they can't get out of bed in the morning, it might be because you're not getting enough sleep. Sleep deprivation disrupts your body's circadian rhythm which is regulated by your hypothalamus in the brain, says Dr. James Maas, author of Sleep for Success. This causes your biological clock to be off-kilter and when you are awake during the night hours, it becomes hard for you to fall asleep.
If you want more time to do things that are important to you, try waking up an hour earlier and setting that time aside just for yourself. You'll find that when doing this every day, your mood improves and daytime energy levels increase significantly. Get up at 6am instead of 7am? No problem, simply use an alarm clock or set your phone alarm for 5 minutes before 6am and then turn it off! Be sure to wake up naturally so you don't lose any sleep. By keeping these few simple tips in mind, you can have more time each day without sacrificing quality rest.
Increased productivity
In order to get the most out of your day, you need to be productive. And nothing kills productivity more than feeling tired. While people typically think they'll be more productive in the evening when they're more awake, research has found that people are actually at their peak productivity from 8am-11am and then again from 1pm-4pm. So if you want to do work that's well done and not just for show, waking up early is definitely worth it!
Improved mental clarity
Studies show that people with mental clarity are happier. Waking up early, which can be challenging for many individuals, brings many benefits to your daily routine. By waking up early and starting your day with a clear mind, you will feel more energized and productive than if you were to sleep in later in the morning. Studies also show that people who wake up earlier are more proactive about their health, spend less time on social media throughout the day, and have improved relationships with others. We know that bettering yourself each day is an effective way of finding happiness and keeping it over the long term. There are many benefits from waking up earlier that can make your life easier and healthier, so start by changing something small in your life today!
More time for exercise
Experts say that waking up early can lead to a more healthy life. People who wake up at the crack of dawn are less likely to eat breakfast, smoke, or drink alcohol. These people also have more time for exercise in the morning before work. Plus, they feel better about themselves because they are making an effort and doing something that feels good.
A chance to enjoy the peace and quiet
Do you find yourself having trouble waking up in the morning? Does your alarm clock and your bedroom provide enough incentive for you to get up? You may be surprised at how much happier you would feel if you went through the ritual of waking up early. Starting off your day earlier than usual will allow you to get more sleep, prepare breakfast before work or school, read the news, meditate, exercise and take care of yourself in general. Think about what makes you happy and healthy, schedule it into your routine and reap the benefits!
Improved sleep quality
Research has shown that early risers are more productive, earn more money, and have better quality of life. These findings are backed up by the fact that people who go to bed at 10 PM are 13% more likely to be happy. Sleep is key in maintaining a healthy life, so it is worth waking up early if it can make one happier and healthier!
In addition to happiness and health, an early wake-up time has also been linked with improved sleep quality. Experts believe that waking up earlier allows us to get more natural sunlight each day which helps our bodies regulate sleep cycles accordingly. This can lead to less sleepless nights as well as improved mental focus due to lack of artificial lighting during the day which can interfere with sleep patterns.
Sleep is an essential part of a healthy life; therefore, anything that aids healthy sleeping habits should be taken advantage of! When done right, it's easy and fun! Your success will depend on your commitment level but don't worry—your body will adapt over time so you don't even need an alarm clock after few weeks or months from now!
A chance to start the day on your own terms
These days, most people are sleep-deprived, which can lead to increased stress, weight gain and even heart problems. It's not surprising that starting the day on your own terms has all sorts of benefits. One study found that, when asked what would make them happy in life, people who woke up early were twice as likely as those who slept late to say that having more time for themselves would improve their happiness. They also enjoyed better health, were less likely to be overweight or obese and had lower rates of high blood pressure.
The best part is how easy it is! There are tons of different ways you can start waking up early--just experiment with what works for you--but it doesn't take much effort at all to see the benefits.
Greater sense of control over your life
Research shows that people who wake up early are more likely to have better control over their lives. For example, people who wake up at 6am are 50% more likely to meet their goals than those who sleep in until 8am. They also make about $5,000 more per year than those who sleep in! All of this is because waking up early gives you the opportunity to plan your day out, get organized and do any tasks you need before the rest of the world starts demanding your attention.
More time to enjoy your hobbies
Chances are, if you're reading this blog post you're an early riser. If not, I highly recommend picking up the habit. You'll have more time for the things you love and will reap all sorts of benefits from it. I'm not claiming that waking up early is fun, but when you do it consistently, your body will adjust and make it easier for your brain to get out of bed. You'll feel more energized throughout the day and be able to focus better on whatever task at hand. You'll also have time for yourself in the morning which can be hard during busy days!
1. Be creative before work
2. Exercise before work
3. Drink tea before work (my personal favorite)
The opportunity to make breakfast
It's not so much what you eat, but when you eat it. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if you take time to make breakfast at home instead of grabbing coffee on your way out the door, you'll be able to enjoy a nutritious, healthy meal (and probably save some money too!). In addition, when you wake up early enough for breakfast, you'll have more time in your day for fun activities like reading or playing games with your kids. And if that isn't enough incentive for you yet, studies show that people who regularly wake up early are less likely to overeat and more likely to maintain healthy weights than those who don't get an early start.
