Hello, Today we're going to learn about four shocking benefits of waking up at 5:30 A.M. Now, let's begin.

 

1- A Burst of Positivity Every Night. All knows how annoying those morning people can be. Imagine you stayed up way too late last night watching a movie & the next morning you might rush in to work feeling drowsy and groggy. Your eyelids are heavy, your body feels sluggish, and you can't wait to get some coffee in your system. Then all of a sudden your co-worker comes skipping into the office. They're perky, they're full of energy. They're ready to be productive from the moment they arrive at work because they woke up at 5:30 AM. Thus, they're excited to tackle today. The question is, why are morning people so positive or energetic? It's not just a coincidence. It's actually a very common byproduct of waking up at five thirty a.m., according to a 2012 study in the journal Emotion. When you become an early riser, your mentality changes. You start to see the world in a different way and you find yourself feeling more productive and motivated than ever, but why does your world view change so drastically? Well, according to this, there are two different psychological explanations. The first one is called positive effect. Positive effect is how likely you are to experience positive emotions & early risers report higher levels of positive effect than anyone, especially night owls. Now, that means early risers feel more positive emotions on a regular basis, and that makes them more optimistic and more confident in themselves. In other words, Positive Effect encourages early risers to experience life in a positive way outside of positive effect. There's one more psychological explanation. People who wake up at five thirty a.m. think of themselves as healthier. Now, to be clear, their physical health isn't actually changing. It might change for some people, but we're only talking about your mindset. You might, for example, feel more comfortable in your own skin. It sounds simple, but that small change can snowball into an avalanche of positive emotions. Early risers might just give you a headache. They might be the happiest, most energetic people in the morning because waking up at five thirty a.m. can help you feel healthier, more optimistic and more capable throughout the day.


 

2- Career Proactivity. A positive attitude doesn't just affect your mindset. That positivity ripples outward and it has a shocking impact on many of the most important things in your life. The way you approach your career, for example, may change drastically, all because you started waking up at 5:30 A.M. This comes from Christopher Rambler, who led a 2009 study published by the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. Randal's team surveyed over 360 people focusing on two subjects. First, they figured out their habits, sleep patterns and the times when they felt the most energetic. After that, Rambler asked about their long term goals. Measuring traits like motivation and dependence and proactivity. So what did he find? It turns out the most proactive, career oriented people tend to wake up earlier in the morning. However, proactivity isn't the only area where morning people excelled. Rambler also investigated whether early risers were better problem solvers than night owls, since proactivity isn't everything. You might take the initiative, but if you can't think on your feet, well, nothing's going to get done. So who's the better problem solver? The early bird or the night owl? Well, you might assume night owls have the edge. Many people think that night owls are more creative. Nevertheless, morning people are actually more capable problem solvers. Their optimism, persistence and motivation help them tackle challenges and adopt new perspectives. Because people who wake up at 5:30 A.M don't just take action, they put in the extra work and they do things right.

 



3- Social Improvement In The Same 2009 Study. Christopher Randle's also made new discoveries about morning people in social settings while early risers do function well on their own. They actually shine in social settings. According to Randle's research, early risers are more conscientious and co-operative, which makes them excellent partners for any project. So, where does that conscientiousness come from? Well, their positive attitude plays a big part. Morning. People are less likely to complain and much less likely to procrastinate because they simply feel more optimistic about their work. That's not the only reason why morning people are so sociable. When you wake up at 5:30 A.M. you gain new attitude towards socializing as a whole. Do you remember that perky coworker whose positivity gave you a headache? Well, let's say they walked right up to you and started a conversation. You might be dreading every second of it, but your co-worker might be genuinely enjoying that interaction. They like having these conversations and they like connecting with others, not only because they're outgoing or extroverted, they might be. However, there's another big reason why when you wake up at five thirty a.m., you have all kinds of extra time to spend on yourself. Each morning you get hours to be alone. Enjoy your own company and to sit quietly with your thoughts. So by the time you get into work, you're feeling awake, alive and ready to socialize.


 

 4- Unravel Negative Thoughts. Your sleep patterns can actually change how your brain works. This comes from a 2015 study in the Journal of Cognitive Therapy and Research. In this study, researchers looked at people who get trapped in patterns of negative thinking, and they found something very interesting. People with repetitive negative thoughts tend to be night owls. They wake up later and go to sleep later than the average person. In other words, waking up later may be strengthening those negative thoughts. Why is that? Since whenever you're feeling down, timing and context are really important. Just imagine you're at home sitting in the dark and feeling alone. That kind of environment is going to make your negative thoughts even more persuasive, but if you wake up at 5:30 A.M. ,you change the timing and context of your thoughts. Your world is lighter. You interact with more people and your lifestyle begins to shift. That new context also opens the door for healthier habits. Waking up early in the morning gives you the freedom to try new things because you have the time and the energy to make lasting changes to your routine. You can improve yourself and be the person you want to be. Over time, these changes to your habits and environment will leave you feeling both inspired and empowered. So start waking up at five thirty a.m. and experience that sense of control in your life because that newfound strength will kick those negative thoughts to the curb.
