Self-starters may think getting an early jump on the day will put them ahead of competition, but waking up at 5 a.m. doesn’t automatically make a person more efficient. Here are some ways to make the most of your day, even if you like to sleep in, from Entrepreneur.

Listen to your brainwaves

Getting enough rest is necessary for optimal functioning, but if your best ideas tend to come at night, don’t shut them down early because you want to wake up at a certain time the next day. Instead, go to bed when your brain is tired and set your alarm for a few hours later. The new sleep schedule may boost your creativity.

Set specific times to work

Sleeping in does not mean you can just roll out of bed and start work when you please. The point of adjusting your sleep schedule is so that you wake refreshed at the sound of your alarm. Set a regular hour to start working and be ready to go when that time comes.

Manage your schedule in advance

If you plan to start waking up later than usual, plan for the day ahead the night before. Organize tomorrow’s to-do list in the evening so you don’t have to spend 30-plus minutes doing so once you wake up.

Make time for yourself

Operating off of a unique schedule can make personal time difficult to manage, but it’s important to get in those moments with yourself and/or your family. Whether you need to schedule mini-meditation breaks throughout the day or spend lunchtime with loved ones, having a work/life balance is paramount to your overall success and wellbeing.
