If I have to work till late during nights or performing night shows, I will be waking up late but yes I must agree I will miss the fresh air available durin morning hours.

Waking up early in the morning has several advantages. Your mind will be at its creative best. Health will be good. And last but not the least is you will have plenty of time for doing things in a leisurely way. Nothing works if things are done in a Hurry.

Its the way a person works, most artists,actors and writers wake up late but they find their own ways to keep fit and healthy. I personally try to wake up early and workout.

Yes. the person concerned knows better which works for him and at the same time one should think about avoiding HURRY, which leads to disastrous results. Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings were done in a Hurry, according to History.

Early to bed and early to rise is an old maxim. This is very helpful in managing day affairs and for good health.  But actual routine depends on individual needs. many have to work during night hours and so their schedule will differ. 

I am not an early morning person because I sleep late and wake up at 7 am most days and it suits me very well,I feel that I am not missing out on anything in life , in fact keeping awake at night has many more advantages since I get a calm and peaceful atmosphere to do my work without any background noise...It is all a matter of convenience and personal lifestyle - for some waking up early seems like the done thing and for some not...

If you wake up in the morning, the necessity of going to bed late will not arise. This needs a planning. In order to avoid late going to bed, it is better to wake up early. Going to bed late has many adverse effects on health.

When there was no eletricity most work was done during day light so it made sense to sleep early and wake up early and connect waking up early to health and well being is ridiculous... It depends on us as to how fit and healthy we are by eating right and remaining active the time we sleep has very little to do with it..

It depends on the person who is reaping the fruits of waking early. Again it depends on the amount of work to be  done. Some works are to be done only in the early hours. For example Yoga is a part of my daily life especially ' Surya Namaskar " or Sun salutation. Surya Namaskar should be done only in the early hours in order to get the Vitamin D. It is ridiculous to do Sun salutation after 10. AM

Waking up early is no doubt a good habit, because that much freshness and serenity we cannot get in any other time. But due to genetic variations as well as life situations some people become ‘night persons’, which they cannot avoid. And they find their own way to make life beautiful.
