These are the ten most important benefits that you will have after adopting the habit of getting up early:

1- Good Health

The very first benefit that you get when you start waking up early is better health. Because a disorganized sleep and wake cycle leads to a disorganized meal schedule and especially it affects breakfast time. Although some researchers believe that time of eating doesn’t really matter. What matters is the stuff you eat. But still, most specialists believe that time schedule matters. Because when you have a proper schedule of eating, you get better health. Most nutritionists believe that a properly balanced breakfast is the key to good health.

If you elaborate it completely, the thing is that when you wake early i.e at 5:00 or 6:00, and exercise properly, you will need a heavy breakfast. And after this early breakfast, you will feel hungry in the afternoon. And after a heavy lunch, you will feel hungry at night and ultimately you have a heavy dinner at night. So meal three times a day improves your health. And on the other hand, if you get up late, you don’t have the time for proper exercise and breakfast. And late breakfast also leads to late dinner. This schedule with two suppers and missing exercise affects your health. So the first benefit of waking early is good health.

3- Motivation For Other Tasks

This point is also related to the previous one, so keep the previous point in mind while discussing this one. Because as mentioned earlier that you can perform your tasks precisely when you get up early because you get enough time to perform them. And when you complete your one task, this ultimately motivates you for your next task. This assures you that as you have completed the previous task you have the energy to complete the next one too. Ultimately this is the booster dose that is required for you to perform any task.

On the other hand, you see that if you don’t wake up early, first you don’t have enough time to perform any task. And when you don’t do your first task perfectly then how can you complete other tasks. Secondly, waking up early is itself your first task of the day, and setting up your bed is the second. Apparently, these seem to be very small tasks and looks like these don’t have a relation to your other duties. But experts believe that setting up your bed motivates you for your other big tasks. Because small things motivate you for big ones.

4- Fine Sleep

Another one of the most important benefits of waking up early is that you get a fine sleep. Because you all know that nature has given us the night to sleep and day to work. This can be called the rule of nature. When you try to oppose nature by using the day to sleep and night to work, you can just get tiredness. Because this is an absolute truth that day sleep can never be the alternative for night sleep. Six hours of night sleep is better than twelve hours of sleep a day. You can examine this too. You must have experienced this in your life that when you don’t sleep at night and sleep in the daytime, you feel tired and dizzy the whole time.

And on the other hand, when you have fine sleep at night, you feel energized and can work more precisely. And you all know the importance of fine sleep. You can only work precisely when you have a fine sleep because sleep or rest is a recharge to your mind and body. This is also a very big benefit and a gift of waking up early that boosts your working ability.

Consistency is also a reward that you get after adopting the habit of waking up early. Because when you develop the habit of waking up early, you automatically develop the habit of consistency.

As mentioned earlier that when you wake up early you get enough time to perform all your tasks i.e exercise, work, and enjoyment precisely. 

But on the other hand, when you don’t get up early and don’t have proper time to perform your duties, you can never set your timetable.

And you know the importance of consistency very well. Consistency is the key to success. You can never get success without consistency. And ultimately you can never get consistency without getting up early. So start getting up early to become consistent.

6- More Productivity

When you start waking up early, the other benefit you get is an increase in your productivity.

The next day you work more focused and complete more tasks than the previous day. And ultimately you get better results than before and this increases your productivity.

Although this point is apparently confusing and seems to be wrong. Because you must be thinking that after waking up early you feel lazy and dizzy the whole day then how can this enhance your concentration. But this is not true.

Consistent work is ultimately not good work. This is the way all these things are indirectly related to each other. But by adopting the habit of waking up early, you get enough time to set your timetable according to you. You can set a time for a break too. This is another benefit of waking up early.
