Why Fixing Your Sleep Schedule is one of the Greatest Advantages in Life

In a 2009 Harvard study, Christoph Randler discovered that people who woke up early in the morning were more proactive in solving problems than those who were late risers. He describes proactivity as “the willingness and ability to take action to change a situation to one’s advantage.” Sounds like a great thing to have, right?

Of course, we probably don’t need a Harvard study to tell us that. We all know that early risers seem to be more productive, more energetic, more quick to get things done. We hear time and time again how the most successful entrepreneurs wake up at 5 am. The list goes on…

But does that mean us natural late risers are just doomed to be less successful in everything we do? Are we doomed to miss out on peak productive hours? Cursed to never be “proactive” enough?

Well, luckily we can become early risers through a combination of consistency, self-control, and employing a few tricks to help us make the shift.

So whether you want to become an early riser or not, these tips will help you regulate your sleep schedule so you at least have the right amount of energy and stamina to tackle your day.
