- Want to Be a Morning Person? Think Again. Here's Why | Vantage with Palki Sharma
If you are a morning person, you might have Neanderthal genes to thank. According to a study, Neanderthal DNA probably affects the time you wake-up time. Neanderthals were morning people. They lived on high-altitudes where days were shorter. So they woke up early in the day to hunt and protect themselves. Neanderthals procreated with modern humans and passed their genes. Now, one in four people are early risers and one in four are night owls worldwide. But our society tends to reward early birds. Do early birds have better qualities or lifestyles than night owls? Does waking up early make you more successful?

"...upending your natural body clock is like trying to be someone else. It's a waste or who you are, so redefine what success mean to you and put this debate of waking up to bed."
That hits home!
😊
I think she meant 'upending' (turning upside down), not 'appending'.
Got you!@@hoopoe_
😢
She is one of the best journalist who thinks different...love her work
I am a night owl. Try as I could, waking early doesn't work for me. Glad this discussion has been put out there. We are all different.
Even if i wake up early, im not productive or energetic. Not sure how people get anything done early in the morning
@@doncorleone3901 Exactly my point. Find your best time you're productive and play to it and you'll be successful.
Let's just say you have a dream job interview early morning 😆😆😉
@@ayushbourai998 hahaha...that's a good one. When I have work or any appointment or school, etc. in the morning, I'll definitely wake up early in time (with my alarm of course). Been doing that over the years. An early riser/morning person wouldn't struggle to do that and he/she wouldn't need an alarm most times because their biological clock is set up that way. The catch here is about when you're Most Productive. Of course you can wake up any time but the difference is how effective and energetic you are when you wake up. That's what this whole thing means.
Well said and true.
Body clock works differently for everyone but waking up early helps you manage the day better! A day- not time 😊
Did you not watch the entire video?
What a dumb take. Pls try to increase your IQ
@@srishtysharma At last she said "DAY not the time" :))
Do understand what she tries to say
I had a coworker who was in her sixties. She had a 7AM work shift but woke up at 4AM and did Thai kick-boxing until 5AM. Despite the odd routine, she always looked healthy and energetic.
As a not at all morning person, this sounds so refreshing, almost changes my life! Thank you!
Agree with you.
See it is so normal in human beings psychology that they want to hear good about their bad habbits plus need validation that any habbit is not in their control bcoz of some caveman 40,000 yrs ago 😂
The first thing to do before going to sleep is to not entitle yourself
It was absolute nightmare when i was preparing for JEE at a certain coaching centre/hostel in my teens. The warden would switch the lights off at 10 pm sharp making all of us go to bed and turn the lights on at sharp 5 am forcing us our of bed. I would toss and turn in bed unable to sleep that early and wud feel tired the whole of next day, not able to study. Finally my parents who otherwise disapproved of my late to bed and late to rise ways, were reasonable enough to understand that my mental health was taking a hit and they took me away from the hostel and enrolled me at a more relaxed centre. Needless to say, my grades improved and it was absolute joy when i cracked JEE that year. Now i have a successful career and still continue enjoy being a night owl😊. People who deal with kids and teens need to be understand that things don't always work as per the age old sayings.
I totally get you as I am also a night owl. I believe it is usually the night owls who are good at cracking competitive exams as they can focus well in the quiet of the night.
Perfectly well said.
Palki, I am a Mexican born and raised but I live in Chicago since 2004 and let me tell you if I wanna know what’s the situation of the world then I check the news @ Firstpost because your news really make sense and if I wanna learn something interesting, informative, useful and above all that is true and reliable then I listen to you. You are awesome 👍🏻
Listen to your body.. That's the greatest guide..& follow it.. In short wake up at a time which helps you to be at your fullest potential..
Nothing to beat raising early and retiring early. For six out of seven decades plus of my life, I have practiced this. This is especially suited for people in employment and professionals.
You must have Neanderthal genes. It's not enjoyable for many.
I'm a night owl 🦉 and before watching this video I thought there would be few people like me.
I am not a morning person but when i have important work i wake up early without alermclock
I am an early riser most of the times. I feel informed and fulfilled with my interest in the news from Vantage Firstpost Fast and Factual etc. This allows me as a Comments Contributor to make a positive contribution. Keep up the good work Palki. Love the Vantage Media.
I've struggled with this for a very long time, which informed my decision to be self-employed. I don't recall struggling with it in high school though. I do recall struggling briefly in early childhood, an experience which none of my siblings had. Still trying to find a path. I find that I need to align myself with the early bird world for productive engagement. I've been most successful in life during periods when I've dealt with things I tend to procrastinate on in the morning, which I don't do now.
Good that this topic has been covered with useful new genetic information. Other physical characteristics can also play a factor...for example, I have low blood pressure, which makes it necessary to get up slowly in the morning...just the physical act of raising my head, I need to take time, though my mind is clear. I can get up far more quickly if I sleep on the floor or in a chair or on a table than if I sleep in a comfy bed with a high mattress! There are some things I do well in the morning (for example, organizing, cleaning, study involving memorizing) and I'm often creative then and have sudden insights to problems, but I'm physically weaker and less coordinated, and I like to avoid loud sounds and bright lights then, as well as stressful tasks and confrontations with people. Another important factor is climate. Based on my living experience in 7 countries, in tropical countries, most people get up early traditionally, like 4-6 am, because it is too hot in the middle of the day; however, in these countries, people also often stay up late and take a nap in the middle of the afternoon if they need an additional rest. This is especially true in countries that were not colonies, or were French or Spanish colonies rather than British colonies, and in rural and traditional areas more than cities. In temperate countries, on the other hand, it is often dark and cold in the mornings, but there is pleasant weather toward the middle of the day for much of the year, so people are more likely to get up later and sleep a bit earlier, but not take a nap in the daytime. I also think that people need fewer hours of sleep total in tropical and subtropical countries, as opposed to temperate countries...I did perfectly fine on 4 hours of sleep a night in Thailand, but, now I'm back in the U.S. I sleep a full 7 or 8 hours a night! Daylight savings time also plays a factor in the U.S. - I think it makes people more likely to oversleep and less likely to easily get going in the morning.
In Thailand most of the tourists sleep less 😂 (joke)
I am night owl during exams
And early bird when I visit Nani's home😮
I’m a morning person too.. my Routine comprises SAVERS

Got a fellow Miracle Morning practitioner here!😅
Where is work
I do the same at night and even more.
Very relevant topic!...Being a night owl, I am tired of dealing with ppl who "explain scientifically" that early risers are the most healthy category... It is not that simple and there are studies in neuroscience that does prove that it depends on the individual... yet, the world is somehow "designed" to belong to the early risers! :(
agreed.
Thanks for this.... The reason the world feels messed up is cuz of these analytical and goal obsessed early risers.... The night owls bring imagination and diversity . Together life is worth while... Goals are needed and so is imagination and creativity. The journey is the point.
Thumbs up !
After retirement, 'Good morning' for me has been when I feel fresh and have no more the inclination to remain in bed. Bullshit to rules. In all matters I just watch myself and decide what I should or should not be doing.
Nawww... I don't agree. It's fun to talk about early risers and night owls in the modern times, but before electricity was invented, people didn't have the choice of being night owls.
I tried waking up early for a week, realised i was not even 50% productive during that period. Most of my ideas came late at night, I execute them the next afternoon not in the morning. Works fine with me.
I get up at 5 am every morning, and I hate every second of it. Unfortunately, I need lots of extra time to wake up, get my child ready, get her to school, and get myself to work. I don’t know how people get it all done with less time.
Same pinch
Im a night owl - more imaginative more individualistic, and more creative and what new experience
Well, since I was little, I could never go to sleep, so my mother would make me do chores until I would be tire enough that I would just drop. Or she would make me read while laying down. I was always tired throughout the day, dreaming every other time I blinked. Yet even with the lack of sleep I was unable to go to sleep until 11 or 1 am. The nights I forced myself to sleep early I would always tend to have sleep paralysis. As an adult, I work the evening shift, so I am able to go to sleep at 1 or 3 am in the morning and I have no more night terrors. I am also extremely creative and believe in jumping head first with the trust that I will always land on my feet. I am the person that shops in the evening, goes to the gym at night, studies at nigth, and is more productive at night. Everything just works for me and I am not an early bird, never was and never will be.
I tend to have better work life and mental clarity and positivity waking up in the morning around 7:00am. If I were to add excercise too to my daily habits, I would wake up around 6:30am.
Chennai wake up time = 4am, Bangalore = 10 am. 😂 Weather also matters.
Interesting information, quite useful! Thanks for sharing!
I go to sleep at 4am
Me around 2 am
Wakes up exactly at 9AM for stock market , and then sleeps between 12-1AM
As a in the West born Hindu I thought that not only the diaspora Hindus but also those in the heart, in India itself, had firm believe in their ancient scriptures telling that there were no Neandertals (mentioned in Bhagavatam), no big bang and no dinasaurs..
Wonder what happens with this ancient wisdom.. which has nothing to do with believe.. a worrisome development I guess..🤔
Thank you so much for this post.
It’s really not about what time you wake up, but how long you sleep, and the quality of it, that is important.
Winston Churchill get up early to get drunk 😂
I don't know why i woke up today @3 am without alarm but nice wakeup call by dream thankyou today energy lvl at peak help of yoga ❤ and now seeing this
in Lagos Nigeria people wake up by 3am.. can't say they have been rewarded
People working in Defence, Fire Service, media, emergency services, Police, Doctor & hospitals, Transport & hospitality sector etc sacrifice their night sleep world over so that world is happy & comfortable.
Awake in presence of Sun = Strong results + Energetic + healthy + get things done.
4 to 6 am = Ideal wake time.
I see this work whenever I follow.
Sorry for saying this, but during my depression year (roughly 10 months) i was an early bird.. 😂and trust me I can't tell you what i did during those days.. experience was awful 😅!!
I think I'm from someone in the middle neither early nor late all depends on work and schedule 😂! Priorities.!
Nice topic covered...good journalism.
Mornings are the finest hours out of twenty four hours. The calmness, the cool breeze, chirping birds. clean air, approaching dawn make it the most beautiful time. As an early raiser, I have enjoyed long productive days for over half a century.
From 1963 onwards, from the age of twelve, I became an early raiser because of morning batch classes in my high school which started at 7.30 am. Thereafter, college too was in morning batch and started at 7.30 am. I joined industry and worked mostly in the first shift which too commenced at 7 am and ended at 3.30 pm. I worked in the industries for a quarter century and then became an advocate. By this time, the habit of raising early was so ingrained, there was no need to change. On the other hand, I found that raising early helped me prepare for that day's case before leaving for courts at 10 am. I hit the sack latest by 10 pm. By divine grace, this habit has kept me healthy.
Palki Madam, appreciate your wits in choosing topics.
I just can't be a morning person, no matter how hard I try.
Only reason to wake up early are: flight, work, school/college. Morning routines take up a lot of your prime productive hours too idk how that works for people, never worked for me. Listen to your OWN body and not random strangers on the internet
Waw... Thanks, Palki! Now I actually feel guilt-free. You made my day!
Thank you so much madam 😭I really needed to hear this refreshing information
Good one
Beautiful presentation ❤❤❤❤
I am a night owl 🦉 and I achieved success.I got my dream job by studying late night. So waking early won't make you successful person if you're a night person.
I like such journalism❤
That was a nice point.....i support night owls😊
i'm a night owl and that suits better to me ... its peaceful and calm to work
Very positive vlog
I like the topic you touched
I love waking up early
No one mentioned that social media & use of mobile phones and OTTs have made people more of night owls.
And offcourse the clinate change also play a factor in people getting out at night and staying at home in the daytime...
People working in night shifts, doctors and nurses doing night duties, night watchman are all art of modern society.
😊 Thanks for defining me, my whole life I tried to be a morning person and failed.
World rewards who puts right kind of effort in right time in right way..
All indians are proud of you ❤❤
Put this debate of waking up... to bed. Nice!!
Thanks palki, god bless you! I'm a night owl ! N relieved to know this. I really appreciate it! 🙏🙏🙏💕
Palki ma'am you are my inspiration 😊
Sigh.. what a relief ... Thank you for saying that. Cheers to all night owls.
Good topic
Fantastic
Amazing .....
It's called the coincidence.
I have started awakening at night for last few days in order to giving an end to an object to which I am giving final touches nowadays and youtube has recommended me at 4:42 am
Thank you for saying that 🥹
❤ Learned something new today
Thank you so much. I'm a night owl and the only thing that worries me about it is the health issues I might face and the health benefits I might miss because of being a night owl. Just wish this was included in the video.
🙏🌎useful information
Great news
I used to be a early bird, but now may be night owl.
I missed the early bird gene I’m gutted
Palki, different people have different circadian rhythms. People should follow that. "When" by Daniel Pink is a book devoted to this issue.
Completely agree 👍 coz I have tried and tested and understood
Thank you Madam
Last line is awesome 👍👍
Thankyou on behalf of all night owls ❤
I'm a night owl and a early bird. Just depends on my mood
Im a morning peron during weekends because I don't have the stress of office work on those days.. I thinks its related to stress.. atleast for me. 😊
I wake up between 10.30 to11am❤
Good marning🎉
Nice
The fajr Namaaz, ranging from 3 am to 5 am, depending upon the season. 5 times Namaz a day, highly sync with the circadian rhythm of your body. The world needs Islam.
No they don't. There are still little girls being married off to older men. It is disgusting.
About 90+% people in the world are night owls.. I think about 98% are night persons.
I'm a morning person. No matter what time I sleep my eyes open at 5am dot. I don't need an alarm.
And my friends tease me when I tell them that I am sleepy by 9pm and hit the bed at around 10pm
I love morning and I'm environmentally friendly as I need no light or fan early in the morning.
The last statement was so well written, haha!
Hey there! You know how some folks are early birds and others are night owls? Well, I'm a different breed - an 'afternoon albatross' maybe? Or let's go with 'evening parrot', since I'm chatty and bright when the sun starts to set. So, what do you call this rare species that thrives post-noon and before midnight? 😂😅
I'm going to show this to my mum😌
I agree that morning person may certainly have very good advantages both physically and mentally. But I know many highly successful people who are night persons.
I believe even Anil Ambani would also have been a morning person, but we know what he is now.
Giving some examples of a few highly successful people and preparing some subject is easier than done. But can motivate many.
I believe that everything is run by their fate irrespective of whether they are morning or evening persons.
Well expressed !
I wake up at 3.30 am i. Am damn successful in my life i am financier and very successful coffee planter living very luxurious life net on me waking early make u smart
In my opinion it also depends on the quality of the sleep.
would def enjoy mornings with palki there
Palki am up even before my alarm ⏰ peace ❤❤
This is news channel , it's report and Anchor. Hat's off you.
Ma'am
I am gonna be an early riser as soon as possible... Even the divine books also recommend us in the Vedic culture there was custom in the old ages a lot more evidences from past...
Islamic teaching told us all of that thousands of years ago. That is why we are happy under every condition
There is a school here in Kolkata where class hours begin at 6.45Am...Neanderthal or not if you studied at a Morning school you become a morning person.
It has got to be right if Palki says😊
Thank you Palki Ji. We are curious, are you an early bird?
