For me, it’s not about productivity. It’s about having time in the morning to just chill. Not having to rush out of the house to get to work on time is amazing. I’ve been getting up around 5:30 for 3 years now. It’s amazing. Having time to cook a better breakfast, take longer showers, longer time to exercise.
@FolkFaninMA Жыл бұрын
This was exactly me when I had a job. I had to leave the house at 7:00 to get to work by 8:00, so I would get up no later than 5:30. Like you, I didn’t like the feeling of being rushed. Plus it gave me time to spend with my animals before I had to leave.

The most valuable here is cold shower in the morning. I cold turkey snapped from 8am groggy as hell, to 5am, ultra alert by 5:30am, workibg/being productive by 6am. COLD SHOWER. I swear on my life it'll change everything. And you don't have to start it freezing cold to where you can't get in. Start it Luke warm/warm to where you can actually get in, then walk it down slowly, u till its cool/cold and where you get a shiver and want to get out. Do that till you can stay in there for a couple minutes. You're morning will completely change. Caveat is... You'll get really sleepy around 7-8pm, sooo not so great if you're younger and all your friends constantly go out late at night. Great if you want to outperform your coworkers/get home stuff done.

I get up without an alarm clock between 6-7am every day and mornings are the best parts of my day because I get more done, I am excited, nothing has happened during the day that could affect me and I'm in full control of how my day could look like later on.

@syedhasan45727 ай бұрын
Oh man! The life in the evening and / or at night is a big fat illusions. All we do is either hang out with friends, munch food or the most common worst habit is spend our time watching screens. This watching screen typically includes, binging on tv series, playing games, browsing internets, writing and reading comments on YT, Twitter etc, checking social networking sites or simply browsing internet. Overtime, this starts to erase our purposes in life, creates lack of motivation, in many cases results in depression, and physical health also starts to deteriorate. On the other hand, waking up early in the morning after a good night of enough amount of sleep gets one roaring to get going on the day, the morning vibe itself fills one with motivation and wasting time on screen at this point is hard for many of us. The benefits of early to bed and early to rise is indeed the way to be healthy and wise.

My Struggle is when I'm in a bad sleep schedule, I'll try to go to bed at a reasonable time, For it to take 2~3 hours to fall asleep, Only to repeat the bad sleep I had the previous night. It's an awful cycle to be in and incredibly difficult to get out of.
@CitiesTurnedToDust11 ай бұрын
I've had to work every shift you can imagine. It always baffles me how so many people think they're stuck with only one possible sleep schedule, and act like they can't adapt to anything else. The people I know who have this problem don't even try all the things available to help them adjust. One group seems to be the ones who insist on staying up all night partying every weekend, when they have morning shifts all week. But of course it's easy for me to say that when I don't like partying at all.

I don’t know what it was about your video that clicked for me. But 1 morning I woke about 530, thought “half hour till alarm goes off”. Then I remembered I’d need 90 minutes to cycle through sleep not 30 for alarm. I got out of bed and I have not needed an alarm since!! I wake at the end of REM cycle and get up. So much more time to ease into the day. More energy throughout the day too not constantly feeling cheated out of sleep. I just had to share. Thank you!!

I've relented to being a night person. If time is a construct of society so is the need to be a morning person. People should work when they're the most productive regardless. Circadian rhythm was only created because of light and dark, but then you'd have to live in an area that has an average day/night hours and that's not everywhere in the world. Kind of interesting when you think about it in a geographical sense.

After seeing patients during the day in our clinical rotations, I become extremely exhausted and find that I can't study or revise once I get home/to the library... Do you have any tips on productivity/combatting fatigue and exhaustion after clinics especially for final exams? Thanks in advance :)
