Early to bed Early to Rise against no fix timing to sleep or wake up


I visited numerous places in India, including metros, cities, semi-urban areas, villages, and remote areas. When the barometer shifts from city to distant village, I sense a distinct difference in the level of tranquilly and satisfaction. In this post, I attempted to identify optimal practises that can emerge from metropolitan and distant lifestyles. It's true that people in both societies live in way which best fit in and they adapt to such environment.
I've lived in a metropolis for over 7 or 8 years, and life here is so hectic that people don't have time to listen to others. In comparison to villages, there are fewer emotions and sentiments. However, one advantage of the metro is that it teaches time management of handling workload, which anyone can learn in best form, no matter where they live. People choose to grow faster with great affluence in metro life, which is more about prestige and societal standing. On weekends, people like to spend time with their friends, coworkers, and families. Unlike villages, where most people's lives are so pleasant and relaxed every day, they keep themselves too busy on weekdays and weekends are a breather for them. The majority of people lost their time traveling in metro cities, but not in rural, where the majority of people engaged in agriculture.

When it comes to rural India or Indian villages, and remote locations, the manner of life is very relaxed and serene. In comparison to metropolitan settings, people do not experience as much stress. Obviously, the environment is hyper pristine in villages due to the lack of traffic and industries, and visitors from the metro can notice the difference. Birds can be heard screeching, while muddy roads, lush fields, and ponds abound. 

Early in the morning, bullock carts and animals may be seen heading into the field for daily work. Cows or buffalo pure milk are taken out for families in many homes. Unlike cities, where almost everything is premade and most goods are kept in freezers, villages produce and consume almost everything themselves, such as rice, wheat, vegetables, spices, oil seeds, and so on.


Electronic devices, such as cellphones, are used infrequently. This could be one of the reasons why metros' health is declining. People in villages prefer to go to bed early because they have to get up early; I've noticed that the majority of them sleep by 8 p.m. and wake up at 4 a.m. In metros, on the other hand, the discipline of sleeping at a certain time is flexible and is always controlled by workload.

We seen the change during urbanisation, that people typically migrate to cities for work. However, if you ask anyone who lives in a metropolis, they will almost certainly prefer to stay in a village. Even now, several real estate developments exist that offer the ideal location in terms of living close to nature. People in metro cities expected to earn and invest their money in purchasing such property for their stay during old age.

Stressful lives, eating habits, lack of a set time to sleep and wake up, pollution, and the fear of losing something are all contributing factors to people's health deteriorating in metro cities. Since people have realised this, many of them prefer to work in metros while they are young and then invest the money in buying or building a property in a hamlet where they may live in peace.

I, too, believe that investing my energies at a young age on living a happy life in the metro, while maintaining a sense of balance, is a good idea. When I am 50, I want to go to the village and start a tranquil and happy life with my family. I understand that earning is equally vital, and metro areas allow us to earn more quickly, therefore I see phases of life where I live in a metro and in a distant location are equally important.
