Time is working against us, and we are all experiencing those hectic days very often, right? Those hectic days put us in a very stressful life. But there is a beautiful solution to your stressful life: get up early!

Don’t worry; that doesn’t mean that you are sleepless. All you need to do is putting your alarm clock a few minutes before. You don’t have to be like Tim Cook or Jezz Bezos and have to get up at four in the morning to start the day. That is something else, and they are not successful entrepreneurs just because they wake up early.

Believe me; you will be surprised when you realize how many positive things you gain. If you make a little effort to get up early, you will not have to have your breakfast quickly, or you will not worry about connecting your Zoom meeting on time.

The best sounds to use as an alarm inspire tranquility and comfort — for example, Ph.D. David M. Greenberg, who studies musical behavior, made a beautiful playlist on Spotify, “Wake up.” The playlist has so many cheerful songs like Coldplay’s Viva La Vida, giving you positive energy that helps you wake up quickly.

The significant impact on your health and quality of life.

A night of good sleep has a significant impact on our health and quality of life. It doesn’t only affect how we experience our day-to-day, but in the long run, it makes a huge difference in our lives. Likewise, you can transform yourself and become a totally different person after a while by getting up early.

Waking up early is a must habit for your well-being. Of course, in the very first few days, you will have to force your body to abandon those puffy blankets, but little by little, you will be aware of why you wake up early. And then it will become one of your healthy habits.

In the first hours of a day, you can find yourself in a wonderland like Alice. Nature becomes so beautiful. You can feel the climate, listen to the sounds of nature, and smell your delicious morning coffee or tea.

Getting up early You can have breakfast!

The best way to start your day is by having breakfast because breakfast brings happiness. A good breakfast that gives you all the energy you need.

How many times have you stopped eating your breakfast because of lack of time? Or how often you have had breakfast with a coffee and a small piece of bread with cheese.

Keep in mind that if you wake up a little earlier, you will have time to have a beautiful breakfast and gather your thoughts and take a deep breath.

So think about your health and wake up earlier and prepare your delicious breakfast every day. Stop having your first meal in the afternoon.

Getting up early improves the quality of sleep.

Let me guess! You woke up today and felt that you just wanted to stay in bed, right? The alarm clock was ringing many, many times, and you knew that you had to get up, but you can’t. And this happened yesterday and the other day.

If I am right, that means you are both physically and mentally tired, which makes you want to sleep a little more. It is utterly normal to feel that way because you didn’t get all the rest your body required.

To avoid feeling tired, you should first go to bed early, and then secondly, wake up early. Studies reveal that getting up at dawn means a better subjective quality of sleep.

Getting up early improves work and academic productivity.

Be ready to be surprised! According to Harvard Business Review, people who do a good performance in the morning are better positioned for career success.

Morning people are more proactive than those who have their best time at night. Yes, some very talented professionals prefer working at night, but here we are talking in general. They are a few, and not the case here.

Waking up very early makes people organized.

You can control your time better. The first hours of the morning are ideal for dealing with your daily responsibilities. It will be your time, and you can do what you like best such as reading your favorite author or the New York Times, exercising, riding a bicycle, listening to your favorite radio station, etc.

However, it will help if you waste your time by spending your time on Twitter or Instagram. Make sure that you make it worth it! By getting up early, allows you to better plan the day.

Moreover, if you wake up early, there will be no interruptions or any distractions. Your time will be utterly productive, and you can complete a two-hour task in 30 minutes.

It is an opportunity to exercise.

The early hours of the morning are an ideal time to exercise. It will be best if you take advantage of the best time of the day to get active, and it predisposes you to face the day with your mind awake. Cycling or pilates are good options for morning exercises.
