Waking Up!!!

My Dad loved to wake me up at 5:30 each morning. I found that absolutely cruel and wondered if he did it with the sole intention of irritating me. After all the school bus came at 7:30, and I never took more than 10 minutes to Get Ready and Eat my Breakfast. So WHY!!!!... However today, I wish I could wake up at that hour. Everyday I try to get myself out of bed by 6...and if by 7:30 I'm out of it, I consider it an achievement. "Sleeping Early and Waking up Early" is one of the basic techniques to Good Health. I disagreed with that while I was younger, but now I believe it to be absolutely true. Waking up early to a glass of "Lukewarm Water with Lemon", followed by "10 Minutes of Stretching Exercises and Yoga" is the Best Start one can give to one's day.

Benefits of Waking Up Early:

-- More Time Definitely: Time to plan the day, time to iron clothes, time to have that juice, Time to study
-- Rids lethargy somehow...
-- Early morning is a great time to see some nice cute birds, so all orithologists better wake up early...
-- Waking up early also is wonderful for students with exams around the corner. Studies just happen better...
-- You get to see the sunrise...
-- More time to get to work, school, college...Easier Travel... Beat Rush Hour Traffic...

as of today, a Google Search for "Benefits of Waking Up Early" threw up 1330 results. The best of the lot in my opinion are ZenHabits and Advantages of Waking up Early
