• 4．Does getting up at the crack of dawn really hold the key to success？ （1）

  Here are five things I learned：
      （1）You suddenly have time to exercise.
      As someone who always prioritizes her social life over her fitness，I'd for a long time told myself I didn't have time for exercise.It turns out that when you get up four hours before you have to be at work，there's so much time to fill. （2）

  
      （2）You'll feel smug.
      Exercising in my living room at 6 am，whilst not only my flatmates but the majority of people everywhere were still asleep，felt kind of awesome.I spent my mornings curling my hair，painting my nails and doing smoky eye make-up and was always greeted by lovely comments. （3）

  
      （3）You're hungrier all day.
      One of the nicer parts of getting up earlier was having the time to cook myself nice breakfasts at home.But being awake longer and eating breakfast earlier seemed to mean I was hungrier all day long.
      （4）（4）

  
      On an average day when I'd be getting up at my usual time of 7：15 am，I'd go to bed around midnight.But if I had to get up at 5 am，there was no way I could stay up that late.
      （5）You'll be more efficient at work.
      Incredibly，I actually achieved more at work than usual and was surprisingly productive.I genuinely felt energized throughout most of the working day all week long. （5）

  Perhaps being productive in the morning before you get to work does in fact make you more productive for the rest of the day.
  
  A.It's easy to get tired.
  B.I was more focused too.
  C.You'd be silly not to get moving.
  D.I will find it hard to get up earlier.
  E.I decided to try it and set my alarm for 5 am for a week.
  F.You have to cut short your social plans in the evening.
  G.My poor colleagues have had to go back to my regular look now.
