"The pressure to be a morning person is pretty intense," says Samantha Snowden, a mindfulness teacher at Headspace, highlighting the growing trend of early rising as a source of social comparison and pressure.
Expert Samantha Snowden emphasizes that getting up earlier can improve confidence, stating, "it can feel like an accomplishment" and help avoid the stress of rushing through mornings.
Dr. Nikole Benders-Hadi notes how a rushed morning feels like "always feeling like you are behind in a race you can't possibly win," which diminishes motivation and positivity.
Snowden cautions, "Choosing to move up that alarm should not come at the expense of sleep," stressing the importance of rest for emotional regulation and focus.
