Waking up at 5AM! Is it really the secret of high performers?

You must have heard that most successful people wake up early in the morning. Many successful people who give high performances in their field, leave their bed early in the morning. The morning holds the control of our full day. How do we start our day is significant. Every successful person understands the value of time, whether in business, arts, politics or sports. Narendra Modi, the Indian Prime Minister, starts the morning at 5 a.m. and does Pranayama, sun salutation and yoga.

Virat Kohli, the cricketer, wakes up at 6 a.m. and does work out. His workout is a combination of weights and cardio exercises. This combination has helped him to develop muscles in a most appropriate way to suit his batting. Bollywood celebrity, Deepika Padukone wakes up at 6 a.m. on most days followed by an hour of yoga, and this habit of waking up early keeps the actress going. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, starts his day early and does cardio. He spent an hour on the treadmill while watching educational DVDs.

By waking up early, you will get enormous benefits in every aspect of life. Some high performers claim that by waking up early, their energy got doubled, their creativity increased, and their productivity got tripled. But how does it happen? Every individual brain energy is limited. We spent our energy on many things in a day like at work, meeting people, social media, news and much more. Our brain energy decreases slowly. Till noon, our brain energy almost gets empty. We cannot focus on one thing entirely.

We shift focus many times on other things in a day. And we cannot give 100% on one thing or work. But if you wake up at 5 a.m., you have the golden opportunity to give your 100% on one thing or work. You can work peacefully without getting any disturbance. It happens because when we woke up early, then the Prefrontal Cortex, which is responsible for our logical thoughts, get stopped working for a few hours. And from that, you will not overthink about things, and you can be focused and give your 100% on one thing. So by working on one thing, you will be getting more focused and productive.

Some people believe that mindset is everything. But it is not valid. There are also three other things that you should take care of in your life.
