Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to establish a morning routine?
Research suggests it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit. However, you'll likely notice benefits from your optimized morning routine within the first 2-3 weeks of consistent practice.
What's the most important part of a morning routine?
While this varies by individual, hydration and morning sunlight exposure are universally beneficial. Drinking water upon waking rehydrates your body after sleep, and natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm.
Should I exercise first thing in the morning?
Morning exercise has many benefits, including increased energy and better focus throughout the day. However, the best time is when you'll consistently do it. Our optimizer adjusts recommendations based on your available time and energy levels.
How can I wake up earlier to have more morning time?
Gradually adjust your wake-up time in 15-minute increments every few days. More importantly, go to bed earlier to ensure adequate sleep. Our tool helps calculate your ideal bedtime based on your wake-up time and sleep needs.
Can I have different routines for weekdays and weekends?
Absolutely! While consistency is valuable, many people benefit from slightly different weekend routines. The key is maintaining consistent wake-up times (within 1-2 hours) to avoid disrupting your circadian rhythm.
