MORNING IS THE BESE
Every day begins with the light of the morning. When the first rays of the sun illuminate the world, not only does nature awaken, but people, too, rise with renewed energy. At this time, the body and mind are at their freshest, hormonal balance remains stable, and mental well-being increases. A good morning routine determines the productivity, focus, and mood for the rest of the day. The cool morning breeze, the chirping of birds, and the calm sounds of nature bring a different dimension to life. That is why, since ancient times, people have considered morning as the best time of the day. Modern research and medical science have also proven that morning plays a unique role in both physical and mental well-being. Successful individuals utilize their mornings effectively to start the day, which becomes the foundation of their discipline and success.
1. Morning for Physical Health
Morning is the best time for exercise. After a long night’s rest, the body is ready to move with fresh energy. Morning walks, jogging, or light exercises make muscles and joints flexible, strengthen the heart, and keep the lungs healthy.
Most importantly, sunlight in the morning helps the body produce vitamin D through ultraviolet rays. Vitamin D strengthens bones, boosts immunity, and improves mood. Research shows that people who regularly expose themselves to morning sunlight are less prone to depression and bone-related problems.
2. Mental Freshness and Focus
Morning is the most productive time for the brain. After sleep, the brain becomes refreshed, which improves focus and memory. That is why morning study is most effective for students. Waking up between 5:00 and 6:30 a.m. keeps the body’s circadian rhythm (natural clock) aligned with sunlight, maintaining hormonal balance and enhancing both mental and physical strength.
In the morning, hormones like cortisol and growth hormone are naturally secreted. Growth hormone, in particular, is released in high amounts between 3:00 and 8:00 a.m. A Stanford University survey revealed that people who start working early in the morning make better decisions and show higher creativity. Many successful entrepreneurs, such as Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and Elon Musk, start their day early.
3. Mental Calmness
The peaceful environment of the morning is a blessing for mental health. Meditation, yoga, or prayer in nature creates positivity in the mind. Much of life depends on how you spend your day, and most importantly, how you begin your day. Psychologists say that simple morning habits can bring peace and happiness to life.
Research also shows that those who meditate in the morning experience less stress throughout the day and have greater control over their emotions.
4. Social and Daily Life
Morning not only affects personal life but also social life. Waking up early makes it easier to plan the day. Whether for school, office, or market activities, mornings help set the tone. A proper routine improves both physical and mental health, positively influencing mood and productivity throughout the day. On the other hand, irregular sleep (social jet lag) can cause fatigue and mental stress.
Setting daily goals in the morning helps maintain focus, reduces anxiety, and increases positivity. It acts like a roadmap—deciding what to do, where to go, and even what not to do throughout the day. This reduces uncertainty and helps maintain peace of mind.
Our body also has a natural clock called the circadian rhythm, w works in sync with daylight and darkness. People who wake up early are more in tune with this rhythm. As a result, their sleep is deeper, fatigue is reduced, and overall quality of life improves.
Taking everything into account, it becomes clear that morning is truly the best time of day. It not only allows us to enjoy nature’s beauty but also keeps the body healthy, the brain refreshed, and the mind peaceful. Therefore, we should all develop the habit of waking up early, enjoying the morning light and fresh air, and starting the day with positivity. Doing so will make life healthier, more disciplined, and successful.
