Something has changed in my life lately. Few times I went to bed before midnight, almost never before 2am. But the last month I’ve been getting up early in the morning, wake up at 4.52am everyday (included weekend if I don’t go out with friends)
Now…why do I wake up so early?
Basically it’s the desire of improving my productivity: at this time there is no one awake, so telephone is not ringing, no chat, no messages…nothing. By 10am I have worked already for 5hours without interruptions..then I can go running and I have the rest of the day practically free. I know, I had to sacrify something and to wake up at 5am I have to go to sleep around 21 everyday. Often I am in bed already around 8.30pm with a book…and around 9pm I am already aspeel 
But this way I cutted all the activities that were wasting my time: facebook, gmail, msn etc. etc. and I have more free time to do what I really like to do.
But why 4 52?
In the beginning I choosed 6am. Then I thought: if I have to wake up at 6 I can go to sleep around midnight, 6 hours are enough for me to rest. And doing like this I would have gone to sleep around 1 for sure…compromizing the all project. So…I picked 5am…cause if you have to wake up at 5 you need to plan perfectly the time you will go to sleep. No mistakes allowed .
And then of course I picked 4.52 because 52 is my favourite number and come on….how cool is to tell everybody that you wake up at 4 something everyday

Very Cool Claudio…a few errors in your English writing but what stamina to wake up at that hour, I often wondered why you went so early and now I know

Hello! There was just somebody who after the Free Hugs Helsinki campaign told me that you remind her of me so I had to check this site up. Hey, what a great idea! Just what I have been thinking of that I would need to do … Just haven’t done it so far. Maybe I’d need to try?
Isn’t it so that the sleep of the best quality is before midnight? And it IS nice to wake up early – I think it’s good for both your body and mind … And it’s true, the stuff you do after 9pm ARE the really unnecessary ones!
Thanks for sharing!
