Early Riser Infographics

Funders and Founders' Graphic Highlights Execs That Wake Up Early

— November 27, 2013 — Lifestyle
It can be a real pain to wake up early, but if this Funders and Founders infographic is any indication, waking up before the sun might just be a serious key to success.

The ‘When Boss Wakes Up’ infographic highlights the wake-up schedules of top executives. This includes people like Apple CEO Tim Cook who rises at about 4:30 in the morning and GM CEO Dan Akerson, who reportedly gets up just 15 minutes after Cook’s usual wake-up time.

One of the earliest risers of all is Virgin America President and CEO David Cush, who gets about a two hour head-start on the day versus those who sleep in til 6 am. If you prefer to hit the snooze button and catch a few more Z’s, it’s probably better to leave the worms to these extremely early birds.
Trend Themes
1. Early-riser Cult - There is an opportunity to create content or services catering to the growing trend of waking up early for success.
2. Productivity Infographics - Infographics that highlight the habits of successful people, such as when they wake up, offer an opportunity to create engaging content about business success.
3. Sleep Industry Strategies - The growing interest in waking up early offers an opportunity for companies in the sleep industry to offer products or services that specifically cater to customers who want to sleep less and wake up earlier to be more productive.
Industry Implications
1. Sleep Industry - The sleep industry should take advantage of the trend towards waking up early by creating products that assist in getting better sleep quality and ensuring customers still wake up at their desired time.
2. Content Creation - There is an opportunity for companies who create content like Info-graphics to draw attention to their brand using the notion of waking up early as a way to increase productivity and success.
3. Fitness Industry - The fitness industry should explore the possibility of creating programs and workouts specially designed for early-morning workouts tailored to the increasingly motivated early-riser market.
