Early Risers

Good morning Philippines and Good morning world!

I woke up today at around 2am, maaga kasi akong natulog as in hindi na ko nanuod ng tv para lang matulog ng maaga. Pinilit ko talaga ang sarili kong matulog ng maaga kagabi sa mga reasons na....

. maganda daw ang maaga magising sa umaga
. nakakatanggal stress
. mas may productivity na magagawa ang pag gising sa umaga

At dahil nga ako ay natulog ng maaga (i think 8pm) nagising naman ako ng madaling araw at iyon ang rason bat ako nakagawa ng blog ng di oras.

Balik sa topic ng pag gising sa umaga, sa totoo lang maganda naman talaga ang gumising ng maaga pero syempre kelangan mong matulog ng maaga para magising din ng maaga kasi pag hindi ka natulog ng maaga malamang tanghali ka na magigising or worse hapon ka na magigising at konti nalang ang magagawa mo sa maghapong iyon. Isa pa pag hapon ka na nagising malamang hindi ka agad makatulog ng maaga at maging cause pa ng insomia.

Actually ako naman e talagang nocturnal, as in hindi talaga ako natutulog ng maaga yung tipong signing off na lahat ng tv stations pero ako gising pa din. Kung hindi ako nagbabasa nagsusulat or nanunuod ako ng movie at kung hindi man ako nanunuod malamang may katext ako or kausap sa phone. Pero dati yun ngayon wala na kong kausap or katext,kung meron man mga kaibigan ko lang yun.

So kaya ako natulog ng maaga para mabago na ang body clock ko at magising sa tamang oras, plan for the day is kahit antukin ako hindi ako matutulog until 8pm comes. Kailangan din makagawa ako ng activities para masanay ako ng may ginagawa at hindi nakatambay lang sa bahay. ika nga

1. Earn Better Grades

In a 2008 Texas University study, college students who identified themselves as "morning people" earned a full point higher on their GPAs than those who were "night owls" (3.5 vs. 2.5). Good grades help students secure better career opportunities.

2. More Proactive

Harvard biologist Christoph Randler discovered in 2010 that early risers are more proactive. They were more likely to agree with statements like "I spend time identifying long-range goals for myself" and "I feel in charge of making things happen."

3. Anticipate Problems

Randler's research also revealed that "morning people" are more likely to anticipate problems and minimize them efficiently, which leads to more success in the business world.

4. Better Planners

Early risers report using their morning quiet time for organization, goal-setting and planning out their days and weeks ahead.

5. Time To Exercise

Many successful business people get up early to exercise (before the family is awake and their official work days start). Regular exercise boosts mood and fitness, provides energy on the job and helps create deeper sleep cycles.

6. Get Better Sleep

Sleep experts say that if you go to bed earlier and wake up earlier, your body will be more in tune with the earth's circadian rhythms, which offers more restorative sleep.

7. More Optimistic

Various studies have shown that morning people exhibit character traits like optimism, being agreeable, satisfaction and conscientiousness. Night owls, while linked with creativity and intelligence, are more likely to exhibit traits like depression, pessimism and neurotic behavior.

8. Easier Commutes

Several early risers report easier, less congested commutes due to leaving earlier than the crowds.

9. A Quiet Hour

Those who arrive at the office before their colleagues say they relish that first hour or two that provide quiet, uninterrupted time to focus.

10. More Family Time

If you've gotten a jump on the day, you'll have more quality time in the evenings to spend with family. Instead of bringing work home, you can relax and unwind.

At ayan po ang mga benefits, actually totoo nga at nakakarelate ako dito gaya ng morning exercise bago magising ang family members nauna ka ng gumising para magbiking or jogging sa labas. Also yung magco-commute papasok sa school or sa office, nung time na pumapasok pa ako sa ortigas eh matrapik talaga lalo na sa edsa syempre kelangan maaga kang pumasok para hindi ka masasabayan ng mga tao. Maaga ka ng makakapasok magkakaron ka pa ng quiet time sa office lalo na ikaw ang early bird. You will have a quiet time at makakapagisip isip ka ng mga bagay bagay.

Masarap nga talagang gumising ng umaga kesa gumising ng gabi. Mahaba na ang araw mo, madami ka pang magagawa. Smart way to live and to be healthy.
