How i started waking up early and how it changed my life

[matibaby]

I've always been a night owl, staying up late and waking up closer to noon. It seemed normal to me until I realized I was missing out on many productive morning hours. Here's how I managed to change my routine and what came out of it.
Why i decided to start waking up early

• More free time:I realized that morning hours could be used for working on my projects, exercising, or meditating.
• Less stress: Waking up early gives me time to calmly prepare for the day without rushing.
• Improved health: A regular sleep schedule and early rising have a positive impact on overall well-being.

My Steps to Early Rising

• Gradual Adjustment: I started going to bed 15 minutes earlier each day until I reached my desired wake-up time.
• Creating an Evening Routine: I set a specific time to turn off all screens an hour before bed and read a book or meditate before sleeping.
• Setting a Goal: In the morning, I always had a specific goal, whether it was a run, reading, or working on a project.
• Using an Alarm: I found an app with a smart alarm that tracks sleep phases and wakes me up at the optimal time.

Results and Changes

• Increased Productivity: I started getting more done since morning hours are the most productive for me.
• Better Mood:I feel more refreshed and energetic throughout the day.
• Less Stress:Planning my morning time helps me avoid morning rush and start the day calmly.
• Improved Health:My sleep quality has improved, and my overall well-being has gotten better.

Waking up early was not easy, but the results were worth it. If you’ve ever thought about changing your sleep routine, I hope my experience can help.
