Who rises early?
Apple's Tim Cook is a notable and extreme example – rising at 3.45am to answer emails before heading to the gym at 4.30am. While many CEOs tend to rise a little later – between 5am and 6am, almost all incorporate some kind of exercise and email checking. Few appear to make time for a leisurely breakfast or a crossword. It’s up, exercise, and straight to work. Other early risers include Michelle Obama who works out before doing emails and Anna Wintour, who wakes at 5am and plays tennis at New York’s Midtown tennis club. Arnold Schwarzenegger sets his alarm to 5am, reads the news and then uses his iPad to check his email. Venture capitalist Brad Feld wakes at 5am, makes coffee, and then feeds the dog before checking his RSS feeds and email. After that, he goes for a run.
