Early birds catch more than just a worm…
Truth to be told, waking up early is not everyone’s cup of tea. As much as we’re told that the key to success is kicking off your day at 4.30 a.m., the reality stands poles apart from the popular online tips.
They say, “An early bird catches the worm!”
Worm quotes are hardly a stimulus for humans to wake up early, unless you’re heading out to catch an early flight or to watch your favorite show, you may almost never see an earthling walking around with open eyes at 5.00 in the morning.
Though you’re made to question your guts to wake up early, there are a few perks waiting ahead for you.
So, what are the benefits?
Since you made your salad bowl scoot over to make some space for a healthier morning routine, here are a few benefits.
1. More me-time
If you live with other humans regardless of their age- early mornings are your bonus ceasefire.
In a world that’s is always buzzing, there seems to be a stigma to doing things alone.
Well, this is to let you know how totally worthy it is to have a couple of hours to yourself in the most untroubled part of the day. There is always a recurring door of reasons to push aside “me-time”. The importance of self-relationship is put on a pedestal when it comes to improved confidence and self-worth.
Getting a bird’s-eye view of your life is the effortless solution to all your questions and there’s nothing better than an early serene morning to plan the day ahead.
2. More productivity
Ever wish you had more time in a day to get things done? Stop looking for the fairy dust and set your alarm a few hours earlier than usual. Of course, you don’t have to tick every second of the day to get more and more done. But an early morning is your one-stop for a little extra time and a distraction-free juncture. Studies suggest that working and sticking to schedules first thing in the morning is better for productivity.
3. Mental fitness
Research suggests people who wakes up early tends to sleep earlier than the ones who do not, and have a better sleep cycle with quality sleep.
Getting quality sleep comes with several benefits:
- Improved mood
- Staying on a healthy weight scale
- Improved social behaviorisms
- Lowering health risks.
On the flip side, an unhealthy sleep cycle may lead to:
- A weaker immune system
- Depression
- Daytime fatigue and low productivity
Early risers are found to have more positive thoughts when compared to night owls. They’re arguably more optimistic, agreeable and satisfied with life.
4. Better Concentration and Attention span
There is a possible loop around waking up early and success. A 2010 study observed morning people to be more dynamic and goal-oriented with high problem-solving skills.
Another study explains how a group of students who were morning-risers scored higher grade points compared to the ones staying up late. Poor sleep schedules may result in poor-memory, mood swings and lowered cognitive skills.
5. More time to Exercise
When it comes to working-out, the best time of the day to get in a session is the one where you have no distractions aka ‘consistent spare time’.
Everyone is different “The right time” is influenced by factors such as preference, lifestyle and body statuses. What better than a silent hour with no distractions to tax your time on, sprint through the morning mist and casually burn your calories!
6. Healthy Breakfasts
Long commutes and busy morning schedules mean no time to enjoy your breakfast before heading out to seize the day. Whatever your reasons may be for poor breakfast time, there are still ways to get it right like waking up one or two hours earlier than your regular snooze timings. Skipping breakfasts result in nibbling more snacks than on an average Friday break-down.
