A study of students, who basically have to get up early isn't exactly that applicable to all walks of life. It's also a very broad categorization. For students, does it mean that you spend a longer period of time before studying/lectures begin? Which would also work if you get up at noon, but don't start work until two or three…

Also, is the total amount of preparation the same for all those students? Let's say you're prone to partying, and thus it isn't just that you get up late, it's also quite likely that you didn't spend too much time on your studies in the evening.

Never mind that this might just be a correlation, and being proactive/productive and getting up early follow from the same disposition, not that one is the cause of the other.

Quoting Hemingway and an "energy management guru" doesn't exactly make this much better.

Why are we so prone to self-help advice articles here? Fear of failure with startups? Age?




mhd, I believe that these articles wont help anyone until he is self motivated. These articles are merely helpful for peoples who need a push for doing anything.

Many times things obvious to some people are need to tell explicitly for many peoples. :)
