” Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise ” – Benjamin Franklin
Rise up early in the morning is a little difficult for somebody whereas it is impossible for many. If you happen to go through some success stories of famous persons, it has been mentioned that getting up in the early morning was one of the main reasons for their successful life. How and why is so important and in what ways it is going to be helpful in one’s life.
I have seen many people in my life who wanted to get up early in the morning for which they would set the alarm to ring at 4.30 am on their mobile phones. In reality, it is challenging to get up at 4.30 am when the alarm rings. They would normally choose the snooze option for extending the time by another 10 or 15 minutes. Likewise, it goes till 6.30 am to 7.00 am. This is because they may have gone to bed late or they might have got more workload in the previous day. Though it is significant for a person who wants to be successful in his or her life, please bear in mind it does not mean those who get up late are lazy or unproductive.
Alright, is it so difficult getting up early in the morning? No. Not really.
Don’t hit the SNOOZE button
You may experience some difficulties at the beginning. But you could overcome this by following a small method. There is no great deal in this. After setting up alarm time, keep the clock or mobile far from your bed. When alarm rings at a particular time do not try to press the snooze button. Try getting up immediately. If it is done continuously for seven days – remember only for seven days – on the eighth day, it could be little easy to get up. This practice should go for a month. Whatever we do, it must be a consistent activity. So make it one of your regular activities.
This minute you may get confused that ‘what should I do in the early morning?’
Advantages of Early Rising
- First of all, you will be completely out of stress, and your mental health would be robust. You may have an opinion that you gain enormous time and you can utilize this time by doing some useful things.
- You could take care of your health. Go out for walking or jogging or any workouts. You get tremendous energy through some early morning body movements.
- You can organize your day very well. Therefore, you can get to the office on time and put into action as per plan.
- If you are a student, study your subjects. This will yield the optimum results in your examinations.
- You can learn any new things like music, driving, cooking because the sky is the limit for learning.
- Don’t have to skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Many a person normally skip breakfast as they don’t find enough time to have it. Skipping breakfast would trigger many problems such as stomach ulcer, obesity, etc.
- On your hectic schedule, you would have missed any of your relatives or friends’ party, marriage or any event. This may have brought some distance between you and them. Now it’s time to meet or communicate and maintain the very lasting friendships and relationship.
- Ultimately, early risers are always extremely optimistic. If you have positive energy in you, it creates such a positive outlook on you. It will definitely reflect in your every activity as you get complete energy to run the entire day.
So wake up early and enjoy your day.

Lovely post simple, n best 👍👍👌
Thank you very much for your valuable comment.
Lol… I am always up early … for years and years … and now that I have aged… I have an internal alarm lol I sometimes wake before the alarm even goes off 🤨🙄
Even on days off where I wish to sleep in… I can not do that lol … I wish to though!
I have the same thing with being early everywhere I have to be… I get teased for that one cause no matter how hard I TRY to be late – sometimes they challenge me… but I can’t do it!! I am always early
I think the only time I was ever late was when I was born lol ✌️ I was late by 3 days 😄😄
ha…ha.very nice to hear this. Thanks for reading and commenting.
On Sunday night …I was so tired from what happened that day – that when I went to bed and my head hit that pillow – I was out!! Totally forgetting to set alarm!! 😮
But luckily – that internal alarm is always set lol… I got up on time like I do with the alarm, thankfully!!! I was very lucky – it works out well for me lol ✌️
Great Omatra! That’s right. Whatever we do regularly, we’ll be able to continue for long. It’ll become habitual.
I had to get up at 5:00 or 5:30 every day when I was teaching. Now that I am retired, I am glad I don’t have to do that anymore. I do enjoy a cup of tea and a morning walk. All the best, Murali! <3 Cheryl
Enjoy your days Cheryl.Thanks for your comment. How’s your life over there after the hurricane? Hope you’re safe.
Hi Murili,
How are you? I thought I tried to respond on your great post but It doesn’t look like it went through. 👏❤️
I’m doing good, Cindy. Thank you.
How about you? Are you safe at your place?

Oh good to here. Yes, I’m good Murila!!! The ash and sky has been crazy. Not sure if you saw the picture of the sky I posted… day was like night… strange. Well, I had to refollow you but no clue why. I still don’t get things in my reader but can at least search you and I know you’re following me. Technology is not my BF. ❤️🙏🤪
Nice to hear this, Cindy. Thanks very much for following me.
you’re welcome Murali. I’m not sure what happends here in W.P. following, not following. lol. Glad we’re back in the loop!
P.S. It is my honor to follow you. I think you are posting less lately which is fine but wondered if you have a schedule so I don’t miss anything?
Yes, Cindy. I should have a schedule. Earlier I had. Just wait…My site gives problem again. If I’m able to sort it out quickly, I’ll let you know the schedule.
Don’t worry I just wondered so I could check. I do understand the problems too well! I may move to 2 times a week. It’s a lot to keep up. Thanks and good luck Murila! ❤️ CIndy
Good Article Murali, I never need an alarm.. I set my internal clock a long time ago. Oh, I can be off kilter sometimes but it generally works for me. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much, Cindy, for your appreciation. Good that you don’t have an alarm for getting up early in the morning. Keep it up.
You are very welcome.. Oh good this one came through. It is nice to be able to depend on my inner clock for sure. ❤️
I couldn’t agree more, Muralikrish! I love waking up early….and the earlier, the better. Ideally I aim for 5:00. Doesn’t always work out that way….😂..but when it does…YAY! Cheers and Thank You! 🙂
Thank you very much for your kind words. 😂😂👍
My pleasure!!! 🤗❤️😊
You know, I think I do better when I rise early. Thank you for sharing your sense and wisdom.
Very nice that you feel good when you wake up early. Thank you very much for reading.
How many times I took the resolution, it has always been an impossible task for me
ha…ha. Try and try…In my opinion, the resolution won’t work. Just think about and implement it on the next day itself.
Yes sir
What you have said in your article is 100% correct. Getting up early is little tough.
It’s fantabulous
