Are you a morning person? Heads up, we don’t take no for an answer! Waking up early is an exceptional habit that can help us have a sturdy and strategic lifestyle. Especially for students, waking up early to prepare for school has become an essential component of our daily routine. But we get it, it’s not easy to get ourselves awake so early in the morning. Sometimes, the bed just feels like a hug in the morning and that extra 5 minutes is a need!
That’s why today, we’re going to convince you why you should start being a morning person and overcome the sluggish feeling you often get when its time to wake up! Moreover, it’s the holy month of Ramadan again! Which means most of us have to embark on this sacred journey earlier than usual to have our suhoor anyway. We couldn’t think of a better time to start this game-changing habit other than now!
So, how does waking up early contribute to successful life?
Better prepared!
Waking up early can give you ample time to prepare for the day ahead. Imagine waking up before everyone else and having a peaceful morning routine that allows you to focus on your studies and prepare for the day ahead without distractions. How heavenly! This can be the perfect time to review your lessons, complete your homework, or even read ahead for your next class.
By waking up early, you can avoid the rush of the morning routine, such as skipping breakfast, forgetting your lunchbox, or missing the school bus. You can use this time to plan your day, organise your materials, and ensure that you have everything you need to succeed. So when you are better prepared, you can reduce stress levels and improve your academic performance.
More time to exercise!
When you wake up early, you have more time to get your body moving and grooving! Whether it’s jumping jacks, a brisk walk, or dancing to your favourite tunes, starting your day with some physical activity can help you feel pumped and ready to conquer the day. When you exercise in the morning, you can increase your heart rate and blood flow, which can give you a natural energy boost that lasts throughout the day.
Additionally, when you exercise in the morning, you’re less likely to skip your workout due to other commitments or feeling too tired after a long day at school or activities. Plus, it can be a fun way to start your day and set a positive tone for the rest of your activities. And guess what? You’ll have more time to perfect those sick dance moves or finally achieve that handstand you’ve been working on!
Quality me time!
Do you ever wish you could have a little more “me time”? Well, waking up early can give you just that! You can use this time to do whatever makes you feel happy and relaxed. Maybe it’s drawing, listening to music, or even just daydreaming about your favourite things. This can help you feel more relaxed, centred, and optimistic about the day ahead. You can also use this time to reflect on your goals, aspirations, and dreams, and to plan your day or week ahead.
By setting aside time for yourself in the morning, you can start your day feeling positive and refreshed, which can impact your mood and interactions with others throughout the day. Ultimately, making time for yourself can help you develop a strong sense of self-awareness and self-esteem, which are important for building healthy relationships and a fulfilling life. And hey, if you want to use this time to have an epic pillow fight or make a crazy fort out of blankets no one’s judging you!
Better sleep!
Did you know that waking up early can actually help you sleep better? Yup, you read that right! When you align your body’s natural clock with the rising sun, it can help regulate your sleep patterns, so you can get more Zzz’s and wake up feeling refreshed. When you wake up early, you’re more likely to go to bed earlier and establish a consistent sleep schedule, which can help regulate your circadian rhythm and improve your sleep quality. Additionally, waking up early can expose you to natural light, which can help reset your body’s internal clock and promote wakefulness during the day.
You’ll be more alert, focused, and energised throughout the day when you have better quality sleep. This can surely help you tackle challenging tasks and stay on top of your responsibilities. Plus, getting more sleep means you’ll have more energy for fun activities to do with your friends and family, even during fasting!
Improves mind and mood!
Waking up early can give you a serious brain boost! Studies have shown that early birds tend to be more organised and creative, which can help you be the best version of yourself. Waking up early can help a person’s improve memory retention, learning capacity, and critical thinking skills. Not only that, it also has a positive impact on your mental health.
Early morning hours tend to be quieter and less distracting, allowing you to focus and concentrate better. Hence, early risers tend to have lower levels of stress and anxiety and are more likely to be in a positive mood throughout the day. So why not use this time to plan out your day, set goals, or brainstorm your next big idea? And who knows, maybe you’ll be the next Einstein or Marie Curie!
