I've been doing morning exercise in the form of a Zone 2 endurance run to wake up my body and make it easier for me to wake up at 5 am, since that is a shift from my natural chronotype wake-up time. However, I'm also trying to increase my ability to focus and do hard mental work, and I've reached a dilemma. Some people, according to neuroscience, advise you to get into working or studying as soon as you get up. Basically, you wake up and start to work or study, and then the day unfolds afterwards. They affirm that this is both based on neuroscience and one of the hallmark skills employed by some of the most successful entrepreneurs. What should I do to optimize my morning routine for both physical and mental performance?
