Abstract: The 5 AM Club presents a powerful argument for a work-rest routine to join the top 5% of performers. In the form of a story, the book argues that a structured and consistent morning routine that starts at 5 AM can act as a catalyst for greater productivity, health, and happiness (Sharma).
Takeaways:
The book teaches us the importance of the early morning hours. The early wee hours, when the world is sleeping, is the actual time with a lot of serenity and peace when we can do the most important work. Without paraphrasing, I will state the key takeaways.
We are high in energy and most efficient during the early hour. Everything is calm and serene, so whatever work we do gets our maximum focus.
If you want to master your life, start by owning the mornings. To get up at 5 am, set your alarm 30 mins early, this can help if you are yet to get off the snoozing habit.
One of the key stories in which a billionaire became successful by following the daily ritual of waking up at 5 am, meditating, workout, and completing all the important work.
How you spend the last hours is vital for peak performance in the first hours.
Sleep is one of the important factors for life expectancy and also functioning of the brain.
