Why I ditched the 5AM club and felt smarter
I tried the 5AM club. My brain hated me.
⠀
Not because I lack discipline—but because I have a late chronotype.
Your chronotype = your internal clock. Some of us are larks (early), some owls (late).
⠀
Waking at 5AM when your body wants 7:30AM? It’s a cognitive hit. Like working drunk.
⠀
Sleep debt builds. Mood tanks. Work suffers.
⠀
How I found my rhythm:
✅ Tracked sleep for 2 weeks
✅ Identified natural sleepy/wake times
✅ Shifted my work blocks around my energy spikes
⠀
Spoiler: I still get more done than I did waking at 5.
Not all routines are created equal.
