SUMMARY
-The first couple of days were the worst. I could barely keep my eyes open, and I dreamed about getting back to sleep.
-After the first week, however, I learned an eye-opening truth about myself: mornings are the most productive time of day for me. I started to wake up with a clear mind, a well-rested body, and the ability to immediately concentrate on important tasks and set goals for the following day.
-My new sleeping regime gave me 2 extra hours before I had to leave for work. All the spare time I had opened doors to new possibilities, habits, and hobbies.
-If you're an introvert and enjoy spending time alone in silence, you'll definitely have a new level of appreciation for early rises: no kids yelling, no babies crying, no cars honking, and no television noise.
-I had enough time not only to prepare breakfast but to sit down and enjoy it as well. And after that, I'll never go back to my old “I'll just grab a snack” ways.
-During this monthlong experiment, I realized that I don’t need to stay in bed for 10–12 hours to get enough sleep. Waking up at 5:30, I feel rested and full of energy to start a new day.
-To become an early riser, open your curtains before going to bed. Withdraw from your phone, tablet, and TV at least an hour before bed if you want to improve the quality of your sleep. If you have trouble falling asleep, try reading in bed or listening to an audiobook.
-Jerry Seinfeld has a big wall calendar, and for every day that he writes new material, he puts a big red “X” on it. He aims to create an unbroken chain of these “X” marks for as long as he can.

I woke up every morning at 5:30 A.M for the past 46 years Now I enjoy retirement. 74 years young and no illness, and happy marry.

[cebukid]

Been a 4:30am morning runner for 8 years now... changed my life drastically, and improved every other aspect of my life!

Here's what I have found has helped me wake up early consistently:


1. Setting app blockers on my phone and computer for 2 hrs before I go to bed.
2. Setting app blockers for the first hour of the morning so I don't waste time after I wake up.
3. I have a LIFX light and that is set to turn itself off at the same time every night.
4. Waking up at the same time every day *including the weekends* (This one was key as I found weekends derailed my routines)
5. Having my alarm in another room.
6. Having my to-do-list visible on my walk to turn off the alarm.
7. Exercise early. The longer the day wares on, the more excuses you'll make to put it off 'til tomorrow.
8. Go for a walk and breath walk while you do it. This will wake you up and make you feel good. I never feel tired after my walk.


Hope this helps...I mean, there's a very useful video above as well ^^^^

I've been waking up at 4:30am for almost a year. He's not joking when he says it'll change your life. I did it for mental health and self development purposes but it's benefits are up to what you want to gain from it. Just try it, you absolutely won't regret it.

i wake up at 5 am since from 2 month everyday...
i realized that it really works in my physical fitness, studies, business and so on..

[TrueGuyT]

I got to tell you guys, i used to be a depressive person,
and waking up in 5:30-6:00 and going to the gym really helped me with it.
further more, on days that i train, i'm much more present and productive at work,
and got enough stamina to study in the evenings as well.

This makes miracles. I always wake up 5:15am to be more productive and active.

PS, I was never like this before. I literally wake up lunch time. I just learned it, took some practice til I got used to it. Eating healthy foods + good sleep! :)
