"Ugh, morning people." –those who sleep until noon, or hate being awake in general.
Yes, we are quite annoying with our 7:30 am peppiness, but come over to the bright side and see for yourself the wonders of waking up early. With an 8 am this semester as well as a 6 am shift at work, I realized I honestly don't mind waking up early, because there are so many advantages which all of us morning people can relate to.
1. Early morning workouts.
Waking up at 6 or 7 am to hit the gym or just start your day early is never a problem. In fact, you’d rather get it out of the way so that you have the whole day ahead of you.
2. 8 a.ms
Everyone complains about having to wake up for class, and you do too – but not as much. Because you’re secretly happy that you can now do more in a day instead of just staying asleep.
3. Sleeping past 10 a.m. is a sin.
I would say past 9 am, but sometimes we need a little bit extra. It feels like your entire morning has been wasted. And now do you eat breakfast, brunch, or just skip it altogether and go straight to lunch?
4. Breakfast.
You value the most important meal of the day, and chances are, breakfast foods are your favorite. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, coffee, muffins. The list goes on.
5. Waking up at 1 p.m.? What?
You don’t understand how some of your friends can wake up AFTER noon. The day is literally half over at 12 pm. May as well just go to bed now! Productivity is out the window.
6. You lowkey enjoy being awake when no one else is.
6 am? It’s so peaceful outside and you may even get some work done because nobody is awake to distract you. Except those who pulled all-nighters.
7. Staying up late is almost impossible.
At 10 pm, you’re starting to doze off and wonder if it’s too early to call it a night. After an hour of scrolling through social media, you’re ready to knock out.
8. Feeling compelled to wake up early even though you slept late.
After all, you can’t waste the next day just because you decided to go out the night before.
And even though sometimes you do want to hit the snooze button and stay in bed until 9:30 am like a rebel, you love the idea of a whole exciting day ahead of you.
