Why Fall is the Perfect Time to Wake Up Early

Waking up earlier is a big part of setting a new morning routine. It can seem easier to do 
in the spring and summer when the sun comes up earlier in the day, but when it’s cooler 
in the fall, it might be the last thing you want to do. However, this is exactly why it is a 
great time to become a morning person.


It Helps You Re-Focus on Productivity

When you wake up earlier, it gives you more time to get things done and find the right 
mindset. If you are in the practice of hitting snooze a few times, by the time you actually 
get out of bed, you are rushing just to get ready on time. There isn’t enough time to 
gradually get up, write in a journal, and do anything other than jump in the shower and 
throw clothes on as fast as possible.

If you can wake up even an hour earlier, think of how much more time you have to find 
the right mindset and do something every morning that will help you be more 
productive.


Many People Who Wake Up Early are Happier

Being a morning person (Whether you want to be or not) has also been linked to more 
happiness and contentment. Yes, waking up early can be rough in the beginning, but 
that doesn’t mean you won’t get used to it. What you get from it can be far more 
beneficial for you, helping you to get things done, have a more positive mindset, and 
even add in some healthy habits. All of this can mean becoming a happier person.


You Can Develop Healthy Habits for the Fall

If you feel like you were more relaxed over the summer with your habits, fall is the ideal 
time to pick everything back up again. You can develop healthy habits specifically for 
this time of year, plus get back to the healthy habits you were doing before summer 
started. Think about everything from your diet and fitness routine, to having time in the 
morning to write in a journal or just having a few minutes of quiet in the house before 
the rest of the family wakes up.
 

It Helps You Fit in Daily Exercise

With just a little more time in the morning before you have to get ready for your day, you 
will have enough time for a quick exercise routine. It doesn’t have to be a trip to the gym 
– just 20 minutes of yoga or going for an early morning walk is a wonderful practice to 
start for the morning. It gives you more energy and helps you get ready for the day.
