Waking up early provides several benefits: 1) It allows time for prayer and meditation, which improves mental health and helps focus the mind. 2) Rising early permits an hour of solitary "me-time" before the day's busyness. 3) One can leisurely enjoy a nutritious breakfast instead of rushing through the day's most important meal. 4) The morning offers opportunity for exercise, which boosts mood and energy levels. 5) Early rising cultivates a proactive attitude by allowing one to control the day's events rather than constantly reacting to them.
