Do you really need to get up at 4am to succeed?

We all want to be happy, healthy and successful.

Anything that promises to grant us these vows will inevitably catch our attention, whether it's drinking celery juice or making a bed every morning.

That's why we eat the whole daily routine of someone who seems to fit all these clbadic definitions of success.

By reading enough of these daily routines, you will notice a trend: it starts to feel as if every successful person wakes up waking up at dawn to get sh * t.

Anna Wintour gets up every day around 4 am and plays on the tennis court for 6 hours. Apple CEO Tim Cook starts his day at 3:45.

A message is being blown into our sleeping brain: Wake up early or you'll never succeed.

But is this really the case?

Short answer: no Morning alarms are considered superior not because they automatically have better benefits for our health and productivity, but because of the way our work culture is structured.

For most students, the school will start at 9am, although we know that at puberty, young people will naturally need to start later.

Lies are considered typical among lazy teenagers. Waking up late is synonymous with aggravation consisting in asking your child to hurry to get up and get up from bed so you can go to school on time.

When we reach the world of work, we find ourselves in offices that start the day at eight or nine o'clock and end at five o'clock.

Delays are seen as a sign of laziness, disrespect and respect for time, so getting up late at night too.

So, if the delay is bad, being ahead is good – and that is also true for your awakening. The early bird catches the worm, and all that.

Someone who gets up early is considered someone who lives his life together, who never has to run for a bus or press the repeat button.

But the fact is that some of us are designed to get up early, others do not.

Forcing those of us in the latter category to wake up at dawn will not automatically make us better and more competent in our jobs.

Instead, it could have a detrimental effect. Steve Ryan, sleep expert at Nectar Sleep, explains that your mind and body always work better when you stick to the natural sleep rhythm of your body, whether you are a late riser or you jump out of bed before sunrise.

"To be able to optimize your workday and productivity based on your sleep habits, it's first important to understand if you have a morning or evening chronotype," says Steve at Metro.co.uk.

"In simple terms, does this mean that you are a lark (more active in the morning and tired all day) or an owl (which has trouble getting up but receives a boost of energy at the end of the day?). In the afternoon / in the evening)? "For the larks – a departure of 6:30 can be optimal when their brain is in full swing.

To further increase your productivity, this could be preceded by a workout.

Depends on caffeine consumption throughout the day – an hour of rest outside could provide the perfect boost before fishing between 1 pm and 1 pm "For owls – almost the opposite is true.

Generally, they need a lot more time to get up and it would be better to spend more time in bed.

In this situation, a departure of 13 hours can be recommended, with an arrival of 17 to 18 hours. Again, many breaks should be taken throughout the day. "

The problem with forcing your owl's natural sleep regimen to wake up at 4 am is that you may not be able to escape early enough at night, which would deprive you of sleep.

For your health and productivity, it is crucial to get enough sleep – not to wake up at a certain time.

This is something that many very successful people do not mention: skipping parties and going to bed before 9 pm to make sure they have enough sleep.

An early wake up time also requires early bedtime.

Otherwise, you will suffer from a sleep deficit, which could increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes and weakened immune system.

"For some, it's natural for the work day to start early and these people can jump out of bed, ready for the day ahead. However, it is likely that they will have gone to bed sooner and that they will have earned enough hours of complete REM. feel this, Steve explains.

"If you got your recommended sleep of seven to nine hours, there should be no reason why you would not get up at 4 in the morning and start your day.

In fact, it is a common practice for many workers posted from one end of the country to the other.

"If you suddenly change your sleep routine, for example by waking up one to two hours earlier to start working at 6 am, you have to be careful.

"The symptoms most commonly badociated with jet lag (nausea and fatigue) can be a headache when your body is struggling to adapt to change."

In his book Why We Sleep, neuroscientist Matthew Walker does not state that an hour of waking is correct, but simply suggests that people stick to a routine.
