Avoid Sleep Inertia
Sleep inertia refers to the slow-moving period that people experience between full wakefulness and sleep-caused brain fog. Studies have shown that it may last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours after waking up. If you get up at 8 a.m. and start to work at 9 a.m., chances are you might not be ready or well prepared to show your productivity. By waking up early, you may allow your body to have more time to reach its wakefulness naturally. It means that you will not need to rely on a cup of black coffee or any caffeine to be alert. In fact, you might feel it is not easy to do this in the first few days. But once you get used to this routine, you will see a major difference in your mental clarity and energy levels in each morning. [3]
