Benefits of Rising Up Early
Sleep scientists usually put people in two categories, those who are active during the morning (the morning larks) and others who are more active at night (night owls). I am a morning person and rightly so. Although I cannot tell the time I was conceived, my mother has, on several occasions, confirmed to me that I was born at 6 am, the genesis of my morning preference. Being a morning person does not necessarily mean my existence ceases at night. Instead, I prefer to wake up early and carry out my activities in the morning as opposed to working late into the night.
Starting my day before the sunrise has been beneficial in my life in several ways. Creating extra time in the morning allows me to exercise daily before carrying out my daily activities. Health experts agree that workouts are beneficial to the body, especially if done in the morning (Mendelson, 2017). I can also exercise with fewer people and enjoy the morning breeze spiced up with songs of birds.
To leave the bed early, I must also sleep early. Going to bed early after a busy day gives my body to relax and allows me to get quality sleep of up to eight hours daily. I also get plenty of time to plan my day in time and avoid the morning rush, the eternal companion of late risers. I, therefore, execute all my tasks in time and beat procrastination. Scholars have shown that late sleepers usually procrastinate their duties to perform them later in the day (Mendelson, 2017). Early rising has significantly contributed to my success at all levels from the time I discovered that I am a morning lark.
