Recently, I watched a TED talk titled "How Wonderful Is Life to Go to Bed Early and Get Up Early?"
The ted speaker of this time, Filipe Castro Matos, showed us the small matter of insisting on going to bed early and getting up early, which not only changed his life, but also became an inspirational Internet celebrity, and many people asked him for advice on early rise and life, and business insider, national television, newspapers and radio reported on him.
At first, he just saw a lot of articles saying that successful CEOs have a habit of getting up early, so he launched a simple challenge: get up at 4:30 a.m. every morning for 21 days straight. This challenge, Filipe named it the "21-Day Early Rise Challenge Program." Unexpectedly, this small challenge brought great changes to his life.
Here's what he mentioned in his speech about what he learned from getting up early.
Initially, Filipe posted on blogs and Facebook about the 21-day early rise challenge program and continually updated her practice feedback.
Announcing your plans is a bit like punching in the circle of friends, and pressure from the outside world can also make you more motivated to do something.
Waking up really early at 4:30 does that mean you have to sacrifice sleep?
Filipe did not, he just advanced the sleep time, that is, people often say that going to bed early and getting up early, using early bed to force early to get up early, should be the most effortless way to get up early, but also let you go to bed earlier.
Maintain good living habits and a healthy state, sleep well, eat well, exercise moderately, and fall asleep quickly. The quality of this sleep will also be high.
As soon as the alarm clock rang, I got up immediately, thinking about sleeping for 5 more minutes, and then looking at the alarm clock, I found that half an hour had passed.
I don't know if you have the experience of almost being late for work because you want to sleep for 5 minutes more, I have.
05. You don't need that much sleep time
Most people only need to sleep for six or seven hours, and your body doesn't need that much sleep. Use it to do something more worthwhile.
In the book "Rich Habits", it is mentioned that every night we have to go through 4-6 and sleep cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes. Each cycle is divided into 5 different sleep stages: falling asleep, light sleep, deep sleep, rapid eye movement, and then back to light sleep. The first 3 phases last a total of 65 minutes, the RAPID EYE movement phase lasts 20 minutes, and the final light sleep period lasts 5 minutes. The main function of the RAPID EYE movement period is long-term memory storage, and we must ensure at least 4 90-minute sleep cycles per night, that is, at least 6 hours of sleep.
The early morning hours are undisturbed, and you can use them to study, read, and exercise, which will be more efficient than usual.
Writer Haruki Murakami wakes up at 4:30 every day, wakes up at the end of the day, and works during the time when no one is disturbed.
After working for five or six hours in a row, it was only around 10 a.m., and when the writing was complete, he could use the rest of the time to run, read, and do other things he wanted to do.
Really good people will make effective use of the morning time.
Waking up early will open up your new world and also give you a new perspective on your surroundings, just like running at sunrise, your experience is completely different.
This is also the most important point, only if you want to complete something yourself, you will desperately do it.
Many people like to stay up late, because they feel that the time to stay up late is really their own, it is better to try to go to bed early and get up early, you can also have your own time.
Find yourself an early goal and start changing.
Filipe just insisted on getting up at 4:30 a.m. every day and sharing it, not expecting to be like the butterfly effect, making a huge difference. Don't underestimate the little things in your life, do them well, stick to them, and life may have a different world.
Three lights in the morning, three panics in the late.
While you're still complaining about life, those who are trying to change have quietly fought back and thrown you off the street.
