Waking before 5 AM taps into Brahma Muhurta, a Vedic window of peak mental clarity about 1.5 hours before sunrise. No distractions means you accomplish by noon what takes others all day. You gain three to four hours for exercise and deeper meditation when the mind is most receptive.
4 reasons to wake up before 5 AM. Number 1, you can take advantage of the Brahma Muhurta time, which begins roughly 1.5 hours before sunrise, and according to our Vedas, our concentration is the highest during this time. Number 2, your productivity is at its peak because there are no distractions, no children crying, no WhatsApps coming, no phone buzzing, and thus you get more done by noon than most people get done in the entire day. Number 3, you actually get time to exercise because by waking up at 5 AM you get 3 to 4 extra hours in your day which most people miss because only a few are able to adopt this habit of early waking. Number 4, your spiritual practice gets much deeper because Brahmamurta is the most sattvic time of the day, the time when the state of sattva, the mode of goodness, is the highest. Any sadhana, chanting, spiritual reading that you do during this time is much deeper. And if you want our help in building this habit, then we have something exciting coming up.
