Sleep experts highlight that waking up at 5 a.m. for exercise and work preparation does not suit everyone. Human biology varies, and the common notion that early rising automatically leads to success is misleading. Each person has an internal biological clock that cannot be easily altered.
Morning people feel alert and productive early in the day, while night owls reach peak cognitive and physical performance in the afternoon. To wake up early successfully, individuals must adjust their bedtime to ensure 7–9 hours of sleep.
Experts stress that quality sleep is fundamental for health, performance, and life satisfaction, not merely early rising. Maintaining balance with proper nutrition, exercise, and a supportive social environment is essential.
Tips for Restful Sleep:
-
Keep the bedroom dark and quiet using blackout curtains or sleep masks.
-
Maintain a moderate room temperature to facilitate the body’s cooling process.
-
Time meals appropriately to avoid discomfort or hunger at bedtime.
Risks of Sleep Deprivation:
Insufficient sleep affects memory, verbal fluency, emotional regulation, decision-making, and pain sensitivity, and is linked to metabolic disorders, diabetes, and hypertension. Around 95% of people experience some degree of sleep deprivation.
