The Nightly 5/5/5 Routine I Use to Jumpstart My Mornings
I practice 3 activities each night that take up 5 minutes apiece
Whenever I mention online that I’m a habit coach and I help people improve their habits, most of the time, I get the same response: “How can I wake up early?”
This issue has even more intensified due to the corona lockdown times. A national survey published on NCBI concludes—
“Due to complete lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic leads to a state of social jetlag with delayed sleep-wake, meal timings, and excessive digital media exposure…”
I used to be a night owl, which isn’t an issue. In 2016, my life was going through a tough phase, and I developed anxiety issues too.
At that moment, I started waking up at 4 AM. It was my way of trying to gain control over my life again. Waking up early changed my life. I started feeling like I still control things in my life.
Different life phases need different strategies. With my growing business, it's common for me to attend late-night meetings to cater to the opposite side of the globe.
Waking up at 4 AM is difficult when you sleep after attending a meeting at midnight. That’s why I made my sleep schedule from 1 AM to 9:30 AM.
