In my case ,they are certainly made. In my early 20s I didn’t usually go to bed early, and it was not the result of my job. But soon enough I began to realize that there was a relationship (关系)between success and rising early. I found that when I got up early ,I did things better ,not just in the morning but all the day. That’s the reason why I decided to become an early riser then.. At the same time,I began to set my alarm clock for5:oo,but the next morning I got up just before noon. I tried many more times ,but it didn’t work well. I thought I must have been born without the early-riser gene(基因).Whenever my alarm rang, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep .It kept on this way for a number of years ,until I learned from some sleep research that I was dealing with the problem in the wrong way. I was told that it’s hard to become an early riser if I carry it out in a wrong way. But if I develop it in a right way, it’s quite easy. So if you want to become an early riser you can try this :go to bed early and get up at the fixed time every morning. Once you get into the habit of doing this, the whole routine(常规程序)becomes easy.
