Mornings are meant to be slowed down and enjoyed. Everyone has their own routine for the entire day, which can sometimes be very hurried depending on the work they are engaged in. However, before heading to work, we get a few hours at home in the morning that we can cherish and enjoy. We can adopt healthy habits for the morning to refresh the mind and body for the day ahead.
Waking up early gives us more time to enjoy ourselves and have a slow start to the day. Looking forward to a morning break also helps us feel refreshed and feel like we have enough time to work on ourselves before getting into the hustle and bustle of the day.

We get more time for ourselves:
When we wake up early in the morning, before everyone else, it gives us more time to connect with ourselves. We can use that extra time to work on ourselves, such as meditating or exercising. We can also try journaling during that time to practice gratitude and positivity in life.
Less time in traffic:
Commuting to office during rush hours can be tiring for several reasons – from the time wasted on transportation, to our energy draining by the time we reach office, and vice versa, when we return home from office. When we start early, we avoid heavy traffic and can use the extra time for more productive purposes.

Better sleep:
When we wake up early in the morning, the body’s circadian rhythm adjusts. So, at night, we fall asleep early and within reasonable hours. This ensures that we get 7-8 hours of deep sleep. We wake up refreshed in the morning and our mind and body are happy.
Healthy Skin:
When we are sleep deprived, it can affect the quality of our skin and hair as we age. Wrinkles, sagging skin, and acne are related to poor sleep quality and irregular sleep patterns. Following a healthy sleep schedule ensures better quality of hair and skin.
