Hello fellow fastlaners, today I am questioning the importance of waking up early.
Is this something vital to success? I ask this because I require a lot of sleep (partly because I like to lift heavy weights 5 times a week). I struggle to function on less than 9-10 hours, and prefer 11 hours. This means if i have no reason to wake early (about 3 days of the week) I will sleep until around 11am which I know a lot of people consider late. Does anybody have any advice? Have you found that waking early helps you reach your goals, or that waking late hinders them?
Thanks for reading.
