While others are snoring away or hitting snooze for the third time in a row, you're basking in dawn's strongest energy. You know the early bird gets the worm, which is why you draw on the morning sky and the first rays of sunshine to boost you and jump-start your day — ahead of the competition! This is the time of morning when you're unstoppable, when you're clear-minded, conscious, and ready to take on the world. And for those reasons, it's not surprising that you come up with your most engaging or imaginative ideas while others are bumbling around. Sure, being so animated in the a.m. means you might hit a wall in the afternoon or evening hours. But a nap, a little exercise, there are ways to extend your power hours beyond your natural rhythms in the morning. A cup of tea, a little exercise, or even a light snack can boost your energy reserves so every hour is your power hour!
At high noon, you're in high gear! When the sun is shining its brightest, so are you. This makes you dynamic at lunch and keeps you sharp, aware, and unstoppable throughout the early afternoon. Noon is when you think your clearest and most creatively, when even the toughest hurdles seem to crumble at your feet. At times you can be a bit of a grouch in the early morning, and post-dinner events can sometimes seem like more trouble than they're worth. Because of this, your bright thoughts and fun personality don't always come through as clearly as they should at evening and after-school events. This is when you need a pick-me-up. A late afternoon nap and a power shower never fails to put a little sunshine back in you, keeping you chugging away until you're in you're in high-noon high-gear once again!
When the sun goes down, your energy and creativity go up. This is your most awake time, when your most creative thoughts come pouring in and when you're most motivated to venture out. Are you into sports, dinner parties, or just hanging out with friends as the sun sinks out of sight? We thought so. Because that's the time of day that really empowers you and makes you feel alert. You're especially dynamic at dinner and school dances or parties, when your wit and wisdom are at their peak. After dinner, when everyone else is preparing to loaf in front of the tube, you're the kind of person who stays alert, inquisitive, and ready for more world-changing conversation. So how do you feel more awake during the early hours of the day, when teachers demand you pay attention? Drinking cold water, exercising at lunch, or even stepping out for a breath of fresh air can rejuvenate you. And when that happens, there's no stopping you. Every hour can be your power hour!
No doubt about it, you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the hours when most girls are snoozing away! You're one of those fine few who move with the moon and thrive when the sun has been down for hours. And that gives you lots of advantages. When most people are losing steam — at events, at parties, on the dance floor — you're just revving up, ready to amaze people with your charms, ideas, and thoughts about the world. It's pretty energizing to think that while you're at your peak, most of your neighbors are already falling into a deep, deep sleep! Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages to your midnight hours of power — like finding cold, stale toast on the table when you wake up, fading out in class, or realizing it's too late to call your friends when you have that spark of a great idea. But when that happens, all you really need is a sure-fire, pick-me-up — like a power bar, getting some exercise, or even taking a power shower to rejuvenate you. And once that happens, there's no stopping you as you move into a whole new power hour!
