I have a bedtime of 10pm, and a wake time of 6am, which always gets me started on the right foot! I do highly recommend the early waking: it gives an opportunity to enjoy the slower-pace quiet of the morning, get in some personal time, a good breakfast, and maybe even go for a walk/jog before work.

So true. Getting up early and having some kind of morning routine always boosts your mood and productivity for the whole day, provided you also go to bed early.

Totally agree with that. Do your thing in the morning and the rest of the day you feel productive because you already have done something.

Edit: Ever heard of "Miracle Morning"? :)

Yes! My work day starts at 6:30am, but I like to go to sleep at around 9pm-ish, then wake up at 4am. I feel so much better when I know I've got the upper hand on a day! Getting up early is such a vital tool, provided you're getting the right amount of sleep for optimal functioning.
