Morning person in IB

I used to work in West Coast so waking up around 4:30am in the morning was my daily routine for a while. Used to hate that but later turned out to love that early morning schedule.

Problem is now I am having a normal IB life and often I need to crunch until 2am, which makes "morning productivity" not a regular thing anymore.

Any other morning person in IB? How do you maintain your morning productivity? Either in the short run or long run.

I am a morning person too (not as much as you though). I try to get as much work done early in the morning as I can, however if nobody shows up at the office by 10/11am, it's going to be very difficult to keep your schedule as you will not be able to sleep enough.

My suggestion is to maybe adjust your schedule a bit, try getting up a bit later (maybe 6/7am) so that you are able to sleep more at night.

Officiis corrupti error officia eum quaerat eius excepturi. Et sed iure nostrum eveniet enim quos ea sunt.

Voluptatem ut perferendis ex nihil. Neque recusandae id voluptatem quod perspiciatis cumque veniam.

Magni facere dicta ex voluptatem. Amet ipsam minus enim qui voluptates ipsa quis. Quia nobis enim tempora aut. Sed labore accusantium et deleniti blanditiis nemo. Et nobis animi corrupti id ut. Sed id dolore nihil molestiae.
