13. Early to bed, early to rise
Many research studies have shown that people who go to bed early and rise early are better, more proactive and more likely to anticipate problems, which leads them to become much more successful people.
Other proven benefits of going to bed and rising early include:
- Being better planners
- Better overall health
- Better sleep
- Better outlook on life, more diligent and more satisfied
Waking up early also gives you a chance to pause and think about the day ahead, allowing you to set the tone for the rest of your day. Also, you can take the time you have likely alone to pray/meditate, exercise, listen or read inspiring content or write in your journal, and any of these will give you much more energy than cups of coffee.
