Re: This Engin Developer’s Morning Challenge blog
This blog highlights the first struggle that everyone has to endure every day - getting up in the morning! It can be so hard to wake up when your body still thinks it is the middle of the night and all you want to do is keep resting on that comfortable pillow. Facing the world of work on a grim Monday morning after only three hours sleep because a neighbourhood dog was barking all night is everyone’s worst nightmare. I think it’s amazing how people can still keep a schedule and wake up at the same time every morning, even if they have barely slept the night before.
I agree - getting up at the same time each day does have a positive effect on people’s lives. It programmes the biological clock into a routine, which is excellent for the brain and the body. When the body adapts to a routine, it works more efficiently, which as a consequence means people have more energy during the day. When you wake up at 6am every weekday morning you learn to love and cherish those wonderful Saturday and Sunday mornings when you get to have a lie in. However, it seems clear that the person who wrote this blog is very much a morning person - at least four months through this blogger’s experiment! I would generally have difficulty in getting up at 9am on a Sunday morning since I am up so late on a Saturday night. Meanwhile, I cannot remember the last time I woke up at 6am on any day - let alone a weekday. I think it takes a great deal of dedication to be able to wake up that early on a regular basis.
