early to bed early to rise, is that healthy

Hello Umabharti! Yes, I agree on you. I also learned from childhood that "early bird catches worm". But my father is an early man and I can see that he is very successful..I think it's not really the sun which was the base of success but the character or attitude.Early to bed really makes us healthy in a way that cells repairs earlier and early to rise gives us more time to do what we ought to accomplish. But I think it is our attitude that really makes us successful and healthy person.

I agree with you, the earliest that you wake up the more hours of daylight you will have in your day. People that wake up early can do so many things until midday and then they can enjoy the rest of their day. I belong in the category of people that sleep late and cannot wake up in the morning. Either I will stay at bed and loose my day, or I will feel sleepy all day. This is definitely not healthy and I believe that having an organisation in your everyday sleeping routine is an advantage.

Yes I agree that it is healthy. I just doubt about the word wealthy. People nowadays have different lifestyle. Some have work that requires more over time and different shifts. Some even have insomnia problems. Even if these people wanted to apply the phrase "Early to bed, early to rise" they just can't because of such things. But as long as we're healthy, it's all that matters.

yes, early to bed to rise, but early, what time would be early? The sleeping time will last 8 hours best. I am always early to bed early to rise, because i have already keep it as a habit, will not change much with the seasons change.

My parents, my parents in law, all practice this. And they are very healthy. Your body need a rest, and wake up early in the morning will expose the body to fresh air, before we do every thing. So for healthy, there is a lot of fact. Wealthy? not always. But if some shop opens earlier than other, then most likely it will get more customer. But in the business, you need right time and right place. Not too early nor too late.

Sleeping early is very good for the health. It helps children grow. It also keeps the heart healthy and reduces stress. Sleep can also bolster your memory and helps you lose weight.

I also heard of this habit for quite a long time. I think this is a healthy habit. As the night life will make your biological clock to be messy. And it is harmful for your health. It is better to follow this rule to get up early and go to bed early. I love China

hello umabharti, I think early to bed and early to rise both do good to our health. The human is a part of the nature and everything in nature should follow the principle of it .Nowadays so many young people stay up or sleep too late in the night. Maybe this will ruin their health.We learn from our ancestor that early to bed our body can renew adequately and early to rise you will have more time than others. So i prefer to do that ,but actually i like to linger in my bed on weekends~

Yes you are right but after reaching a standard age like after completing college and join job this is not possible. I cant sleep early and cant wake up early in the morning. But you are right if early wake up and walking then our health is good.

I get up at 5am and sleep by 10 30 irrespective of weather season and my health issues, it is how i was brought up, but i know many women who work in office sleep late night and get up by 8am,

umabharti I think there is something to the idea of getting up and starting the day as the sun rises. I find if I get up early I can take an early afternoon and then be refreshed all over again as I was in the morning

I don't follow this in particular. i sleep at around 12 midnight and wakeup 7 in the morning. I find that doing that is actually making me more allert the whole day than sleeping early and waking up early. Once I overslept, my stamina easily gets drain and will make me tired before the end of the day. This is also a case to case basis. If I am too tired, I sleep earlier.

i guess its also a matter of perspective and personality.its not the sleeping/waking up per se that helps a person towards his/her road to riches, more like, being disciplined enough to set and maintain a meaningful schedule. i mean, one can sleep early, wake up early but then proceed to do nothing the rest of the day, and doing this would hardly land anyone success in careers or money making (unless he/she is sitting on trust fund gaining interest perhaps? lol). on another note and as the others pointed out, there is the matter of health issues. maintaining a good circadian rhythm (the "physical, mental, behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle, responding to the light and darkness in an organism's environment", www.nigms.nih.gov; boy am i being nerdy today haha) does lead to better moods and mental state. maybe thats why im grouchy at times? since im more of the early to bed (as in 8 am of the next day bed time) early to rise (wake up call at 2 or 3 pm the same day) type of person :P

Hi friend, i am not so early to bed, i will go for sleep around 10.30 pm and get up around 5 am, i think the quote is really a good one and we must follow it to have a good life style, but in this modern days, it is really hard to keep up this quote

I think that I get up early and go to bed early, and that seems to work out well with me. If I go to bed too late, for some reason, I have a troubled sleep. When I wake up too late, it takes me a lot longer to get completely woken up during the day. So I think that there is just really something to this saying, about being early to bed and early to rise that works out at least for me. Of course, there are just many times where I think that it's just because I'm on a fixed sleep schedule. A sleep schedule that allows me to really function the best. It has been something that has been ingrained in me for years and years and it has stuck and it will continue to stick more often than not. That's just the way the ball bounces.

Hello umabharti mam :) this is true that now we all are sleeping according our time table. My sleeping time 2-3am. and get up time .... dont know because of my study and some time without any just blame to study for it ... :D Now life style totally change so what can we do ?? :)

This is a point that has been in my mind for quite some time. yes. when we were children our parents use to insist our sleeping at 8 pm and get up at 6 am next day morning. that way we use to have 9+ hours sleep. But nowadays we sleep around 11 pm and get up at 6 am. that means number of hours we sleep has come down. Lack of sleep is one of the problems for many of our diseases. Nowadays I try to sleep around 10 pm and get up at 6 am. Early to bed to early to rise is really correct and should be followed by all of us.

to listen when we are young and their parents go to bed when told. but while we grow and change it a lot. then we simply decide themselves when to go to bed and when it happens. but certainly as a man in his early bed rest more and more awake in the morning. I speak so because I feel so. nice day!

What is healthy depends on your own bio-ritmen. People are different, have different life-ritmen and the best thing is to live/eat/sleep by your own ritme. Only problem is that society won't let us. They invented time and tell us what to do when.

My forefathers had done so in the past but now a days there are little people who wakes up early. I think it is very good for our health but no one does it. I fell very strange to get up in the early morning but i used to do it at my exam time which could help me more to study.
