1 // Waking Up Early is Associated with Happiness

 Did you know you might not be as happy of a person if you don’t wake up early? Part of this is because of the normal stress people experience can arrest the production of some hormones. That can lead to feelings of sluggishness and other feelings of reduced vitality. If you wake up early, your system will be well rested and ready to supply you with the right amounts of chemicals to keep you in the right place. You can also try taking natural supplements like melatonin, which make you more susceptible to falling asleep so you can get a good night's rest.

2 // You’ll Reduce Stress

How do you wake up in the morning? Is it a time of relaxation and quiet thought, or is it a time of turmoil and contention? One of the most damaging parts of a person’s day come from the momentary realization that you can’t make it to a location that you are already heading towards. Putting the social aspects of that aside, being in a hurry or dwelling too much on the pressure to be in a place at a certain time can cause a lot of stress. When you let go of that and focus on what is healthy, you grow in maturity.  

3 // You’re More Focused

When was the last time you felt completely ready to take on a day? Getting up earlier makes sure that you have a decent amount of time to wake up before you begin your day. You also have the time to review any plans that you wrote down on the previous day. If you took the time to mark down what your plans and goals were for the day, then you are already thinking about how you are going to make those idea into a reality. 

4 // More Time for Tasks

Sometimes the errands that life has to offer can pile up very quickly. If the things that you need to take care of are dependent on what institutions are open during your waking hours, then it only makes sense for you to get started on those things early. If you don’t handle those tasks early in the day, then they could be held up for months.
