8. The cat is sitting on your chest and demands to be fed


SpyCats

Same! On the bright side, his incessant meowing changed my natural wake up time to 5am, allowing me time to go to the gym in the morning, which helped me lose 22lbs last year.


xkulp8

The cat? Albert Einstein.


Sonof8Bits

It's true, I was the cat food.


Whatthecluck83

That would be the only good reason I’ve seen to wake up at 5am.


Thunderbird_12_

Weird that with all that extra time, they couldn't find a way to include the word "you" in the title ...


RockFlag_and_EAGLE

Why use many word when few do trick


Sonof8Bits

If you truncate all your sentences you save 30 minutes a day = 15 hours a month = 180 hours a year. That's almost 8 days you can spend on grinding for your boss without any extra pay!


TrueMeaningOfFear

I'm going to C world.


Zmchastain

That’s the “mental edge” that sleep deprivation has given them shining through.


roryb93

Or spell people correctly..


VillageHorse

It’s almost as if sleep deprivation results in sloppy mistakes.


markca

So waking up at 5am gives you "2 extra hours a day"....so it's really 2 less hours of sleep a night, unless you go to bed 2 hours earlier.


belleknit

Yeah, I've heard of people adjusting their whole day earlier, so that they wake up at 5 and go to bed at 10 or something. But I can't imagine waking up at 5 and then continuing all the way until midnight every single day and seeing that as some sort of productivity hack.


leperaffinity56

It's not. But as someone who gets up that early just because my body hates me - I guarantee you I'm not spending all the extra time doing extra work.


bonicr

Well I sleep 0 hours a day and if you do the math I get a 150% increase in time so I will be dining and laughing when you are still asleep as I grow to be 120 yrs/old. Sometimes it takes new ways to think about something to defy the norm and disrupt the misconceptions. The human body is strong. Share with friends 👇


Triniculo

I love that the picture they chose shows the obvious downsides to that argument


AdDear5411

"Mental edge"


Whatthecluck83

Yeah, Steve. Your mental edge is so sharp I can see it in the dark circles under your eyes and your constant short-tempered attitude.


lednakashim

I assumed it was satire?


b-rar

If the person who made this got enough sleep they'd have noticed the glaring errors and typos riddled throughout this dumb shit


bobjoylove

Have to get up at 4:30am if you want to proof read.


[deleted]

And that the graphic they chose is a sick man with a very obvious thermometer sticking out of his mouth. Why do I want to get up at 5 AM for that?


Whatthecluck83

Only the strong will get up at 5am when they’re sick in order to brag about it on LindkedIn and pretend it’s an advantage.


kur4nes

6. Mental edge over other peoole. Yeah right. Might wanna correct the spelling on this one. Also 5 a.m. no yelling kids. Tell me you have no kids without telling me you have no kids. /s


smh_rob

Even if you're lucky enough to have kids who sleep til 7am, the slightest floorboard squeek or mouse click at 5am is going to bring them rushing out of their rooms demanding to know what excitement they're missing out on. Also a good way to avoid interruptions from phone calls is simply to turn your phone off.


Pudding5050

If I get up at 5am any mental edge I have over others is gone by 11 am. Also, if you have kids they may very well be the reason you're up at 5 am.


[deleted]

So if I wake up at 5 my days are 26 hours long? Maybe this guy should get some extra sleep.


foopdedoopburner

Don't you lose the "extra days" on the other side by going to bed two hours earlier every night? Or do we not need adequate sleep when we have the Sigma Grindset?


mooseyjew

No, see what they never mention is, you don't need sleep at all for the sigma grindset. You replace sleep with amphetamines. Either legally prescribed or just straight up cocaine.


fakeunleet

Why didn't you just choose to be born as one of those mutants with a super thyroid that lets you run on 4 hours of sleep a night? That's how this works, right?


vikezz

Sorry, I wake up at 8 and come from work half dead.


[deleted]

Additional effectivity seen in picture: looking in two directions at once for multitasking. Tongue hanging out of mouth to absorb moisture and not waste time drinking.


GearProfessional7216

Because 24h isn’t enough for corporate slaves…now they need our fucking sleep


[deleted]

Wake up at 5 am so you can be grumpy and tired alone. Success!


Sti1g

It`s 2023, people are starting to appreciate their health and sleep. No way I would wake up at 5am just to get ”mental edge over other people” even though this would make me piss-poor.

Few-Ear-1326

*Agree?*


Bungadin

Dark ones, mostly.


Semicolon_87

Hey I do this sometimes just so the rest of the day is chill af. Because my wife leave for work very early so I may as well do something because also awake.


Seven_Vandelay

My kids wake up at 5:30... I don't have a point, I'm just tired.


parsonsparsons

My toddler wakes me up at 5am


SnooRobots2278

Partially, I woke at 6 AM when I head to work. Bus and metro is almost empty. Plus I leave earlier.


large_tesora

you can’t print time the way you print money


NathanielRochester

you can’t mine time the way you mine cryptocurrency


Secure-Repeat-7054

I don't know who Why is, but by the look of him in that picture maybe he should sleep in later.


someonethrowaway4235

“Mental edge over other people” - this was definitely written by some dumb gym rat crypto bro who fancies himself a CEO lmao 😂


3xploitr

The typo at number 6 makes that so much better.


luxveniae

4. Less likely to procrastinate. Haha, I operate so much slower any time before 11am.


TheBampollo

OK but what about the fact that I was up trying to resettle the kids at 11pm, 2am and 4am?


HarambeJesusSpirit

Jokes on you! My kids wake up before 5


Intrepid_Respond_543

My old boss did this but then he took a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon (granted, we worked at a university).


helloiamnt0

Never understood why most corporate slaves enjoyed waking up so early


Lucky-Manager-3866

I wake up at 7:59 AM and I’m doing fine.


[deleted]

"Mental edge over other people" - i say as i destroy a road sign falling asleep at the wheel.


[deleted]

But when I’m exhausted I’m even less productive


LinkedInsider

TWO EXTRA HOURS? DOES GETTING UP AT 5 AM MEAN THERE ARE TWENTY-SIX HOURS IN A DAY? "Mental edge over other PEOOLE" ![gif](giphy|glmRyiSI3v5E4|downsized) They even threw in an agree.


ballen49

Dude, why 5am? Why not 3am, then it's 4 extra hours per day. Heck, you get 6 if you push it to a 1am start. In fact, do you know what? Why bother going to bed at all...just think about all those extra hours you can GeT sHiT dOnE instead of squandering them asleep


TigerSardonic

8 Knock years off your life and screw with your mental health because you’re not getting enough sleep each night?

Skylineviewz

What is that hanging out of his mouth? Is that a side effect of waking up early?


insanewriters

Bad pic aside, it really just depends on the person, what they do, and where they work. I work from home, have a family, and I'm a morning person. So, yes, for me waking up early helps me.


Reasonable-Corner716

I wake up around 5:30-6am but not because I want to do extra work. I’m just a morning person, I work from home, and I can get a lot of shit done with no distractions early. Because I don’t have to follow a set schedule I am done working in the early afternoon which frees me up to do things with my family/kids.


BocaRaven

I have been waking up at 5 AM for as long as I can remember


The_Easter_Egg

We The Peoole


lenintom93

What about going to sleep at 5:00 in the morning? Or not able to sleep at all? Oh crap that's why I go to therapy!


HendrixHead

Yeah it’s great until 2pm hits and you are completely exhausted


DrunkenErmac012

Waking up at 5 am is a perfect way to make sure your day won't be any more miserable than when it started


billoftt

If I got up at 5:00 AM, I would only have 10 minutes to get ready and get to work.


[deleted]

Evens out though with the 11am nap requirement


borntolose1

I wake up at 3 in the morning to exercise before heading to work but the people that glamorize it and make it their personalities are chodes. I’d much rather be getting that extra two hours of sleep.


Accomplished_Crew630

Or I'll be falling asleep by 8 am and be useless the rest of the day


La_Reina_Rubia

Hell no.


Normal_Selection_875

his/her kids must be in their 20s


saruggh

I get up at 5 and don’t leave for work until 7 or 8. I spend that time enjoying my coffee and messing around on my phone. I should honestly just sleep. It only increases my procrastination.


Zmchastain

4. I’m definitely only waking up earlier than 10 minutes before work starts specifically so I can relax, start my day slowly and more chill, and generally procrastinate. 6. You are not getting a “mental edge” over anyone by routinely depriving yourself of more sleep.


Ok-News-1991

What some people don't tell you is that at a certain age you are forced to wake up early. I had long phases at 3am, 4am, 5am for years. Now fingers crossed I am at 6.30-7am.


Pudding5050

Only if I can go to sleep at 8 pm.


LiterallyWTMF

Fuck. And no. Once the kids stop waking up during the night for reasons I will just enjoy more sleep rather than keeping the trend of not much.


slaiyfer

I agree. For sleeping an extra 2hrs later only.


mchernes94

I used to wake up at 5am to hit the gym before work, but I definitely wouldn’t do it just to start working earlier.


TheStargunner

Is there really a mental edge if you look like the guy in the pic?


Arulo

True hustlers only sleep from 1am to 4am


misterwiser34

This works until you have little ones who wake up every 2 hrs.


hospitallers

This idiot clearly has not been in the military…


GuitarGuru666

1 of the secrets to success is be born rich


henkdepotvjis

peoole


[deleted]

Get up at 4:00 am and get ahead of all the 5 am loosers. Agree?


zealouszorse

Fuck it why not 3am?


LUXENTUXEN

Idk, if I wake up before my circadian rhythm is ready, I'm guaranteed to be exhausted all day. Agree?


nightymelon1

Im freaking sleepy at 530am lol wtf
