Early to bed, early to rise.

Some wake early because their jobs require them to do so.

Adequate sleep is absolutely essential for a healthy lifestyle.

While we sleep, our brain and body recover from the previous day’s activities.

Sleep also assists with our problem-solving skills, focus, creativity, and memory skills.

But if you are getting the right amount of sleep, why wake even earlier?

Waking earlier can help with depression

One hour can make all the difference.

You could even have more time to exercise, which releases endorphins that decrease depression.

You could also experience less traffic during that commute, which can automatically reduce your anxiety for the day.

Healthline reported that going to bed earlier and waking earlier actually leads to better sleep rather than broken sleep.

All of that leads to more energy during the day, which in turn gives you a better day.
