Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- The practical lesson researchers draw from this is not to wake up earlier but to protect whatever waking window a person already has from immediate digital interruption.
- By contrast, those who open messaging apps first thing tend to fragment that same window into reactive, low-value micro-tasks that leave the peak alertness period unused.
- People who consistently use that window for focused work, rather than for scrolling through notifications, report finishing their hardest tasks with noticeably less mental resistance.
- This outsized effect occurs because cortisol levels naturally peak shortly after waking, creating a window of heightened alertness that the brain can be trained to direct toward demanding tasks.
- Researchers studying workplace productivity have found that the first hour after waking disproportionately shapes how well a person concentrates for the rest of the day.
