Wake up early and tackle the day before it tackles you. Be on offense, not a defense.
Evan Carmicheal.
Almost, every individual wants productivity and tranquility in life.
“Is there anything magical about waking up that 4:30 a.m.?” is the question that strikes my mind often when thinking about the above issues.
Waking up in the early morning is worth it?
From childhood, we are pampered by the thought, “Early to bed. Early to rise. Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” But is it worth waking up at 4: 30 a.m.? Then, let me ask you a simple question. ‘ Does your passion require deep thinking, focus, and silence to be accomplished?’
In case, if your answer is ‘yes. Then, you should probably consider waking up at 4:30 a.m. There are bunches of people who are trying to set their alarms early. Who try to seize the day. But; I must tell you. The famous saying, “Success comes to those who set their alarms earlier than others.” Isn’t a success myth.
The time you wake up has to do a lot with who you become. How you start your day has to do a lot with how the rest of your day seems to go. But; believe me, Something magical happens around 4:00 a.m. You will experience the greatest tranquility of the universe. Such as some universal force is acting on you.
But; you need to be extra careful. In haste to wake up at 4:30 a.m don’t chase your circadian rhythm. In today’s busy world we’re all very eager to believe that sleeping one hour less will give us one-hour productivity. But in reality, it’s likely to have the opposite effect. Get enough amount of sleep. If you won’t enough sleep as your body requires. You will end up being sluggish and tired all day long.
Another perspective.
We Indians are always told to wake up before the sun is out. It’s likely for thousands of years. Indian culture suggests people wake before the sun rises.
According to Ayurveda, the ideal time to wake up is before 45 minutes of the sunrise. It is said to be Brahma muhurta. Accordingly, Brahma muhurta is the ideal time to attain the Brahma Gyan or Self enlightenment.
Also, writing scientifically. A study conducted by the University of Westminster found that the stress hormone Cortisol is found in higher levels among those who rise earlier.
