Are early mornings really helpful?

Indian parents keep pushing their children to wake up early. But does it really help waking up early or is it just fancy?

I have been waking up early for quite a few days now. Which makes me somewhat qualified to answer this question.

One thing that is the most important to make your early mornings productive is to have a pre-determined task to accomplish. If you just randomly wake up early someday and start thinking what to do then you’ll almost certainly go back to sleep again without doing anything.

Okay but pre-determining a task isn’t much difficult to do. What’s difficult is actually waking up? This is because our sleep schedules are programmed in a certain way and trying to wake up early means shifting that sleep schedule. Like all things, our body resists change too. Making it difficult to wake up early.

There are different ways which work for different people in getting them up from bed early. I won’t suggest any, you can simply Google and find tons of it there.

Initially it would be difficult. But as days go by, you’ll notice yourself getting comfortable with the early mornings. You’ll notice the peace you get in that part of the day which you can’t get in any other part.

If you say that peace can be found at late nights as well. Sure it can be but your brain is already tired during the night when compared to the morning. This helps you utilize that peace better in the morning.

In my opinion, early mornings are the best time to read and write. You have a more receptive mind at this time than any other part of the day.

Give it a shot by trying to do it for 3 days on a trot and see if it works for you.

Don’t forget to sleep on time when trying to do this else this can lead to lack of sleep. Wish you luck with this early morning thing!
