How important is it to wake up early in the morning?
…Not that important.
What time you wake up is arbitrary.
What matters is what you do during your waking hours and how you prioritize your time.
Some get to bed by 9pm—others can’t go to bed until 12am.
Expecting both to wake up at 5am is silly.
Some people work better and are more efficient at night. Others in the morning. And others still, midday.
What’s important isn’t a specific time (because a successful person said that’s what they do).
What’s important is self-awareness.
