Wake up early "Is waking up early really a sign of one's self-discipline? "In the face of this problem, there are generally two voices on the Internet.
One is a staunch supporter. They will explain their own personal experience, and even have many Chinese medicine theories to support it, and many people have published a lot of books promoting early waking up, all of which reveal that getting up early is self-discipline and the key to controlling life.
The other is the theory of individual differences. They believe that everyone's physique and living environment are different, and it is correct to arrange work and rest reasonably, and getting up early without a brain is counterproductive to many people. At a time when people are nervous about early success theories, promoting individual differences has comforted many and eased anxiety.
First, what is the relationship between waking up early and self-discipline?
Strictly speaking,Waking up early and being disciplined are not the same thing.
Self-discipline, as the name suggests, self-discipline. So theoretically speaking, what exactly is self-discipline? What does self-discipline mean to restrain oneself? And by what standard should you discipline yourself?
At this point, I think the criteria should be:Distinguishing between the main and secondary things in life, and not letting the secondary things take the main place, is self-discipline
For example, in the reading stage, then learning must be the main thing, playing games must be a secondary thing, if you waste your studies because of playing games, then you must put the cart before the horse, which is called self-discipline, and vice versa.
So why do people often associate waking up early with self-discipline?
There are not only social and cultural factors, but also a certain social subconscious, the logical relationship hidden in people's subconscious. For example, there may be the following logical links (I use "health-early rising-self-discipline" as an example, it does not mean that there is only one logical chain of early waking and self-discipline, I just want to show that there may be such a logical chain that causes people to connect the two phenomena, and you may also link it from other aspects).
1. The big premise: People think that health is the main thing in life.
2. Small premise: getting up early represents the regularity of life and rest, and it is a manifestation of health.
3. Conclusion: People believe that waking up early is the main thing in life, and being able to accomplish it represents self-discipline.
From the above major premise and small premise, you must also find that if health is not the most important thing in your current life, or waking up early does not represent the regular life routine for you, then you don't have to get up early, even if you do, it is not called self-discipline.
For example, we can know that many big bosses, big entrepreneurs and even leaders, their main thing may not be health but have to take on a lot of responsibilities, can you say that this person is not self-disciplined? They are often still working and having meetings at half past two in the morning, if you still require them to get up early at six in the morning, does this mean that they have a regular life and rest routine, and does it represent health?
Only by clarifying the relationship between waking up early and self-discipline, and correctly understanding the matter of waking up early and self-discipline, can we stay sober and not fall into anxiety or mental exhaustion in the Internet where there are many opinions.
Second, waking up early has nothing to do with self-discipline, do I not need to wake up early?
From the above example, if the main thing in your current life is something else that may cause you to be unable to wake up early, or if you already have a reasonable routine and can ensure a regular routine and complete the main things well, then it is okay not to wake up early.
ActuallyWaking up early has a very important role, that is, the routine of life and restThis is not only the foundation for maintaining good health, but also the guarantee for completing work and study. Of course, you can go to bed at 2 a.m. and wake up at 10 a.m. every day, but you can still maintain good health. But this is not the case for most people, on the contrary, most people who can't get up early have a chaotic schedule, which not only affects their physical health but also affects their work and study. If this is the case for you, I actually recommend that you go to bed early and wake up early, so that your life and rest will be regular.
3. How to get up early?
For a person who is accustomed to staying up late to sleep, when he wants to get up early, the most difficult thing is not to insist, nor to get up early, but to not be able to sleep!!
Here are a few effective ways to do this.
1. Get up early and force the law.
This has been recommended by many big Vs, and it is actually effective. As the name suggests, by forcing yourself to wake up early, you can force yourself to go to bed early. For the first few days of using this method, it will be difficult during the day, and you will not be able to sleep enough, but after a few days, you will be able to sleep at your normal schedule. (But be careful: don't catch up on sleep during the day!) Don't catch up on sleep during the day! Don't catch up on sleep during the day! ）
2. Environment Creation Method.
This method is to establish an environment for yourself to sleep enough, for example, modern people will look at mobile phones and brush **, then you can slowly stop watching some exciting content an hour before going to bed, try to avoid contact with bright light, and the sleeping environment should become a dark environment at night. At this time, you can relieve the fatigue of the body by some bathing, washing, foot soaking, etc., and you can go to sleep directly after finishing, and it is easy to fall asleep without thinking about anything when the body is relaxed.
3. Wake up early to punch in software.
Of course, you can search for "a rope", and when you want to force an early riser or need to insist on getting up early for a long time, you can try to team up in pairs
4. Other ways.
Of course, you can also go to bed early by drinking milk, falling thoughts, etc., but according to my practice, although it is feasible to a certain extent, the success rate is not high, and it is easy to be affected by many other things. I think the above three methods are the easiest and have a relatively high success rate
