For us, the daytime is about discharging electricity, and sleeping at night is about recharging.
If only 50% of the electricity is charged at night and 100% is released during the day, where does the remaining 50% come from? It’s borrowing from the five internal organs.
In ancient books, the five internal organs are called “Five Zang”, which means “zang”. They store the essence of the human body. If one always borrofts from the body, the average person’s health will deteriorate within 15 years.
When young, one has no feelings at all. But when one is over forty or fifty, all kinds of diseases come.
When does getting up mean getting up early
In fact, there is no such thing as the “best time to get up” at all.
For adults aged 18 to 64, 7 to 9 hours of sleep per day is ideal. For those over 65, it is recommended to sleep for 7 to 8 hours daily.
Generally speaking, getting up at 7 a.m. and going to bed at 11 p.m. is a reasonable schedule, but many people find it hard to follow due to work, holidays and other reasons.
Everyone’s actual condition and biological clock are different. In fact, as long as these two points are met, it is good sleep: first, it should be regular; second, the body should feel comfortable.
Of course, being able to go to bed early and get up early is undoubtedly the most beneficial to one’s health.
Getting up early has many benefits
Multiple health studies conducted by world-renowned academic institutions have once again demonstrated the benefits of getting up early. Based on the research results, experts have summarized the following points:
Be energetic and avoid feeling sleepy
Research has found that early risers usually get up faster, have more flexible minds, can quickly focus their attention on work and study, are less likely to get tired, and have more energy.
The academic performance is more outstanding
A study by the University of Texas in the United States found that the academic performance of early risers among college students is a full percentage point higher than that of “late sleeper” college students. The research leader said that students who get up early have a more regular life, attend classes on time, study more actively, and do not have the health problems caused by staying up late.
Handle affairs more carefully and responsibly
Some studies have found that early risers have a clearer mind, plan ahead when encountering problems, act more resolutely, and they are more efficient, organized, have clearer goals, and pay more attention to details when doing things.
Higher efficiency during the day
While the “late sleepers” are still struggling in bed, early risers may have already finished their morning runs, prepared breakfast and started dealing with some necessary matters. When arranging major activities for the day, it is advisable to start making plans in advance and implement them promptly.
Stronger sense of happiness
Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada have found that people of any age group tend to have a more positive mood, feel better about themselves and have a stronger sense of health. This might be related to the fact that early risers can start their day’s life, study and work in the sunshine and have a better mood.
Low risk of depression
Early risers are more organized in their work, prepare in advance and seldom get flustered, thus having a more cheerful personality. People who tend to stay up late are more likely to suffer from depression, and lack of sleep is also a major cause of depression.
Be kinder
A psychological study from the University of Sydney found that early risers are usually friendlier and less likely to have a “dark personality”.
The best time to plan for the day is in the morning
Nan Huaijin said, “Only those who can control the morning can control their life.”
If a person can’t even get up early, what else can you expect him to do throughout the day?
As the ancients said, “The plan for a day lies in the morning, and the plan for a year lies in the spring.” If you can’t catch it in the morning, how can you catch it on the same day?
In the morning, the human body wakes up from the sleep state with the lowest metabolic rate. If one can do appropriate exercise, it is beneficial to increase the metabolic rate and improve blood circulation.
In fact, getting up early is just a matter of one minute!
Many people think it’s impossible at first hearing, but in fact, it’s very simple. You can give it a try.
Getting up early, but in those few minutes after waking up, there is a psychological contradiction: should I get up or not? Get up! I’m just too sleepy! No, it’s bad for your health!
But when you really get up and do a little movement, whether walking, jumping or stretching your body, you will feel less sleepy and your body will be very relaxed and comfortable.
In this way, when you wake up, you will be relaxed and happy, full of energy for work and study. Otherwise, you will be tired during the day, yawning and dozing off, lacking energy for everything you do.
The solution to having trouble sleeping is to get up early
Of course, there are also many people who want to go to bed early but just can’t fall asleep. One solution is to get up early.
When you get up early, take a half-hour break at noon, you will be energetic in the afternoon, but you will feel sleepy early in the evening. When you are not sleepy at night, you won’t get up in the morning. This keeps you in a vicious circle. How can you break this vicious circle?
It’s just getting up early.
If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try tomorrow. Get up early and exercise all day. You will naturally feel sleepy at night. Keep doing this for a week and I’m sure you won’t have trouble sleeping at night anymore.
