I am sure you’ve heard the old saying time and time again. To be early, to be first, to cover up alotta things before the crack of dawn.

Today I woke up at exactly 4am, I have always been a morning person right from the time I was serving someone, I used to wake up early, do a whole lotta things and still be at the shop by 6AM to do some cleaning before others arrive.

Now, even thou the routine has changed, I still see myself not sleeping beyond 4:30am(I go to be naturally between 9-10pm).

I’ve always wondered what it is that causes some people to naturally wake up late but now I have seen that waking up very early is useful to some people as a hedgehog in a condom factory.

But then, considering our society's “obsession” with waking up early and how people who are early risers tend to “judge” and see all the late risers as lazy people I can't help wondering if productive people tend to be early risers, or if early risers tend to be more productive.

I think the society attach too much importance to waking up early.

Does our wake up time have anything to do with our productivity

What's Your Take On This?

Our body clock is responsible for determining why some people will wake up early, while some will do late. It is a natural phenomenon.
Though, some people who does not like their body clock will try to re-set it to another,but it sometimes have effect on the health.

I am a morning person too. Very energetic in the mornings, I am very active at that time.

Yes, to an extent productive people tend to be early risers and early risers tend to be productive, though not entirely.

People who are very active at work, if you ask them they are early risers. It is just natural.
Early risers tend to be productive, because they get more done in the morning, so it is more advantageous. Unlike evening people that get groggy in the morning, they are not active in the mornings, but in the evening time. But they have no choice they have to start work at 8a.m even though, it does not favour them.

I said not entirely, because there are also some works that requires working from evening time till late in the night. You can bet that morning people will also not function properly in such.
And there is little or no difference in socio economic standpoint.

Society attaches too much importance to rising early, that is why evening people body clock is not put into consideration because most companies starts work at 8a.m.

If you don't mind, you can check, I once ran a topic about it.

MizMyColi:
Well, I just like the idea of feeling the very early morning breeze on my face as I cruise to work.

That's because your work starts in the morning. Another advantage is that sweats won't mess up your make-up.

MizMyColi:
It has a way of getting me focused and relaxed, allowing for time to think about the day's activities.

True that, there are mornings you wake up energized and enthusiastic and would definitely achieve a lot.

MizMyColi:
Well, that counts in the grand scheme of some productivity index, or doesn't it?

For a Morning person but I don't think same for the Night Owls.

MizMyColi:
Owh, and yes, there are times when I deliberately rise late. Lotsa factors contribute.

Paying up sleep debt I guess

MizMyColi:
If ah hear say I lazy
Lols

Nah, you are not lazy, you are just on energy saving mode.



I understand you clearly but my concern is the super-replicating false belief that morning risers are more productive.

Early bird they say, catches the worm but nobody remembers that the worm is an early riser too

Yes Mr. Op. waking up early does a whole lotta things to your productivity

But that won't make you productive


Persistence Makes you productive

MizMyColi:

See articulated quoting.

Lolz.
Well....I think, there's something about rising early and getting constructively productive.

Until proven otherwise, I'd go with the conventional school of thought.

lols.


Waking up early in the morning is really good for early risers, most of them probably already have a good idea of what they want to accomplish that day otherwise the motivation to get up from the bed would be difficult to come but it is not same for the night owls, their creative energy naturally peaks when everyone else is asleep.


So the saying/belief doesn't apply to them.
