A little about my sleep schedule history

Ever since I was a little kid 👶,
I used to go to bed early and wake up early in the morning. (9pm-6am)🌅

Even in my school life I was able to maintain my sleeping habits
(10pm-6am)🌅

When I joined my engineering college, I started sleeping a little late. 🌃

But I had to wake up early to go to college. (11pm/12pm - 6am)🌅

Eventually, in second year my schedule became 11pm - 5am and in third year it became 11pm - 4:00am/4:30am. 🌄

Then, as the third year ended and burnout ruined my sleep schedule. 😔

Recently, I managed to recover from the burnout and now my sleep schedule is back to 11pm-4am. 🌄

Why should you wake up early?

1. You get more time in the day

Goddamit the day feels very long. 🙄 (Which is really nice, but it feels weird sometimes) When you wake up at 4am 🌄, you are basically done with most of your daily tasks by 9am 🌤. You practically have a minimum of 12 productive hours in a day. ---------------------------- ### 2. You get a sense of achievement ![Obama Meme](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/zfhth0r3t1p8irtdvi4m.jpg) This feeling of accomplishment is unparalleled. ------------------------- ### 3. 😌Silence😌 It is usually very silent in the early morning which makes it easier to concentrate on your tasks. ----------------------------- ### 4. You get a proud feeling that while most of the world is sleeping, you are working. This feeling is really good for your morale💯 ![Satisfied seal meme](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/5s6yaoszr5frcfoo5rh2.jpg) -------------------------- ### 5. 🌸You'll feel better about yourself🌸 You'll have a positive attitude which will help you increase your output (or at-least make you happier) --------------------- ### 6. You’ll Have a Better Chance at Completing your tasks💯 --------------------- ### 7. You can also just take it slow ![relaxed bart meme](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/7ax3gmnzfb2j2ssd1c3c.jpg) ----------- ### 8. 💝Some health benefits 💝 ![Helth Meme](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/tmax2z7vvtyd0xx3vdcp.png) - It improves your quality of sleep. - It gives you more time to exercise. - Not only you've more time to exercise but exercising in the morning gives maximum benefits. - It helps you to sustain a healthier diet. - It makes your skin look healthier(I don't have any proof though) ---------------- ### 9. 😆Some funny (and possibly sarcastic) reasons 😆 - You can talk about it on social media. - Internet speed is usually faster in the morning. - Your parents will become more happier for you. - You can brag about waking up early. ------------------------------------------------------- # How to sleep early ? - Screens and Caffeine are your worst enemies. - Don't drink coffee within 6 hours of your sleep time. - Don't sleep for long during the day. - Stop using computers/mobile phones after 9 pm (Which is pretty unrealistic I know, but try to stop using them after 10 pm) - Go to bed at 10 **AT ANY COST** The real challenge begins now. **DON'T TOUCH YOUR MOBILE PHONES NOW** 📱❌ (_Unless of-course it's an emergency_) I KNOW ✅ IT WILL BE VERY TEMPTING 🤤 THE CONSTANT FEELING OF CHECKING NOTIFICATIONS 😫 THE CONSTANT FEELING OF CHECKING IF YOU GOT ANY NEW MESSAGE BUT NO ❌ YOU ARE STRONG 😤 YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG 😓 YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THIS FEELING 😤 YOU CAN DO IT 😎 (May be. I mean I don't really know you :P )

Now, you have to create this new habit of sleeping early.
If you are used to sleeping late chances are your body will be full of energy at night.
Lay down on the bed. Stay Still.
Don't overthink and focus on your breathing.
