I've never been a morning person but I do know that it's suppose to be a lot better for us health-wise, to get up with the sun and go to bed early.I enjoyed reading: Wake Up Productive by Patricia Mayo. The author provides not only the many benefits of waking up early, in terms of our long-term health, she also shares her personal story of how she went from being a "night owl" to an "early bird" in a relatively painless way.I was particularly interested in the references to how getting up later in the day can affect our cortisol levels, negatively. That I was not aware of before. It certainly was one of many big pluses when it came to supporting a decision to begin the day, at an earlier hour.I don't really see myself ever getting up at 5 or 6 AM and going to bed at around 9PM. It just wouldn't be workable every day for me. But I do appreciate that there are benefits to be derived that are very worthwhile, if you can change your regime to accommodate these sleeping/waking patterns, in the long-term.Recommended!Geraldine Helen Hartman, author.
