The great advantage of early rising is the good start. It gives us to our day’s work. The early riser has
done a large amount of hard work before other men have got out of bed. In the early morning, the
mind is fresh and there are few sounds or other distractions, so the work done at that time is
generally well done. In many cases, the early riser also finds time to take some exercise in the fresh
morning air and this exercise supplies him with a fund of energy that will last until the evening. By
beginning so early, he knows that he has plenty to thoroughly do all the work he can be expected to
do and is not tempted to hurry over any part of it. All his work is finished in good time, he has a long
interval of rest in the evening before the timely hour when he goes to bed. He gets to sleep several
hours before midnight, at the time when sleep is most refreshing and after a sound night’s rest, rises
early next morning in good health and spirits for the labour of a new day.
