The late owl catches the silence
’Waking up at 5 am is for try hards”. “If I wake up early, I wake up feeling grumpy”.
People often debate whether the hour upon waking up/going to sleep has a direct impact on the level of success one has.
It does.
There are different strokes for different folks.
Yet, one thing can not be overlooked and that is
How much distraction you’re being exposed to.
The thing about working very early in the morning or very late at night is that there is no one and nothing to distract you.
This is your prime time.
The benefits of prime time are:
- Extreme clarity in the silent hours: As the collective consciousness in your area is probably sleeping during prime time, the probability of you picking up on ideas/downloads straight from the ether is more likely to happen.
- Enhanced productivity due to no food intake: Eating late at night or early in the morning isn’t recommended for various health reasons but also because it significantly slows down productivity.
- No phone calls, meetings, visits, etc: All of these are best done when people are actually awake.
- Positive mental fortitude: It takes a specific type of person to be willing to repeatedly wake up early/stay up late to do the work they know will move them forward in life.
- Opportunity to have alone time: Some days can get extremely busy. However, prime time is yours. You choose whether you work, sleep, play, or sit in absolute silence.
Waking up at 5 is not necessarily better than waking up at 7.
Going to sleep at 10 is not necessarily better than going to sleep at midnight.
What truly matters is what you do before you go to sleep and after you wake up.
This determines whether you’ll have a bad night of sleep, or an excellent one.
