Why do we need to wake up early? What are the healthy habits to be followed? Does waking up early really make you 'healthy, wealthy and wise'? Find answers to all these questions in this article, which dwells on the benefits of waking up early.


I am reminded daily of Amanda from Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, all thanks to my darling mumma, who wakes me up to a very catchy phrase, 'Rise and Shine, rise and shine!'. I sometimes wish brother Sun never woke up, just so that I could sleep a bit longer, but then my granny's words hover around to taunt me and I have no other option but to wake up early and reap in the benefits of the early morning. I bet most of you are already aware of the advice, that come through grandparents and elders, some being, 'early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise' and 'the early bird gets the worm'. It's not like I am totally against the policy of waking up early, I sure am aware of the benefits of waking up early, yet at times, I can admit to being a tad too lazy to throw off my sheet and walk on the lawn barefoot. Nevertheless, with all due respect to elders and people who have researched on the benefits of waking up early; boy, I must say, they are justified in more ways than one, while suggesting that we rise early.
