Why are we not used to waking up early?

1.36K viewsBiologyOther

Recently I have finished school and I’ve realised that most of my life since I was 4, I’ve been waking up at 6/7 am and I was just thinking why our body isn’t used to waking up early assuming you’ve had a good night sleep.

My dad wakes up at 4 am so maybe this is not something that is universally applicable. I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “isn’t used to” but I assume you’re referring to how groggy you are. Well, when you wake up there’s still a lot of melatonin in your system. This makes you tired. It gets flushed out as you get up and about. But I don’t think it has anything to do with the actual time you wake up, it’s more about whether or not you were able to get through all your REM cycles
