"Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise," is one of the most widely quoted proverbs from Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac. This proverb is seldom disputed however I fail to see the logic behind it. I think that he who goes to bed early misses out on a lot of things and must be antisocial.         Let us just say that everybody in the world sleeps eight hours a day, …showed first 75 words of 483 total…

…showed last 75 words of 483 total…one's health. It's baffleing to determine how one is to obtain wisdom merely by going to bed early and getting up early, unless maybe there are some really good documentaries on P.B.S. really early in the morning. If one enjoys being alone waking up early might be the thing to do but one should not be mislead by the proverb. Early to bed early to rise won't make you healthy, wealthy or wise.
