The correlation between an early wakeup time and higher income is an interesting one, and appears to be in line with other research.
As Business Insider previously reported, in his five-year study of 177 self-made millionaires, author Thomas C. Corley found that nearly half of them woke up at least three hours before their workday actually began.
Indeed, some of the worlds most successful people wake up with or before the sun, and these early risers often credit those "extra" hours with getting a head start on the day, more creative thinking time, fitting in a workout, and spending time with family.
Of course, it's important to keep in mind that correlation does not equal causation. Having or not having any of these different routines doesn't determine your income level, and one morning routine isn't inherently better than the next. In fact, plenty of other successful people wake up after 8 a.m.
Here's how America's different income classes tend to begin their days.
The super-rich — those who make more than $175,000 — are the least likely to lay out their clothes the night before.
Almost half of the super-rich plan out their day, compared to less than a third of those who earn below $75,000.
Of those who make less than $25,000, 18% wake up later than 8 a.m. Six-figure earners are more likely to say they wake up before 6 a.m.
How likely you are to fuel up before work doesn't change based on your income. Across the board, a fifth of Americans never eat breakfast, while around a third always do.
More than a tenth of the super-wealthy do a "full workout" in the morning. Middle-class Americans are the most likely to skip a morning workout.
The lowest income Americans are most likely to watch TV news, while the rich and middle class prefer to go online.
Jay-Z, pictured, says he "grew so much from the experience."
Rapper Jay-Z told The New York Times he's gone to therapy and benefitted from it.
He started to understand where his difficult emotions were coming from.
He also learned to depersonalize others' aggression, because he realized they're dealing with their own difficult emotions.
Rapper Jay-Z says he's gone to therapy and benefitted from the process.
In an interview with New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet, Jay-Z said he "grew so much from the experience."
He went on: "The most important thing I got is that everything is connected. Every emotion is connected and it comes from somewhere. And just being aware of it. Being aware of it in everyday life puts you at such a ... you're at such an advantage."
"You realize that if someone's racist toward you, it ain't about you. It's about their upbringing and what happened to them, and how that led them to this point. You know, most bullies bully. It just happen. Oh, you got bullied as a kid so you trying to bully me. I understand.
"And once I understand that, instead of reacting to that with anger, I can provide a softer landing and maybe, 'Aw, man, is you O.K.?' I was just saying there was a lot of fights in our neighborhood that started with 'What you looking at? Why you looking at me? You looking at me?' And then you realize: 'Oh, you think I...
Jay-Z added that many young men, in order to survive, "shut down all emotions." Possibly alluding to troubles in his own marriage, he said "even with women, you gonna shut down emotionally, so you can't connect," and from there, things like infidelity happen.
Understanding the genesis of your emotions — something Jay-Z said he learned through therapy — is no small feat.
In her 2003 book "Radical Acceptance," psychologist and Buddhist meditation teacher Tara Brach uses the metaphor "dogs in the cellar" to describe how our past experiences continue to influence our behavior today. If you ignore those experiences and try to push them back down — i.e. locking the dogs in the cellar — they...
The next step is understanding that others are necessarily dealing with their own dogs in the cellar — that, as Jay-Z says, "it's about their upbringing and what happened to them."
Empathy for yourself and for the people you interact with makes life a lot easier.
This article appears in the March 29, 2002 issue of Executive Intelligence Review.
At the same time that Attorney General John Ashcroft has ordered the surpression of news coverage of massive Israeli espionage operations inside the United States, the Bush Administration has taken several significant initiatives, aimed at closing some of the most egregious loopholes, that have facilitated Israeli pene...
In the beginning of March 2002, both the Defense Department and the Justice Department issued new regulations, prohibiting foreign nationals from involvement in the development and maintenance of information technology systems at the two giant federal bureaucracies. While internal memos and public statements by the Pen...
And one interoffice communiqué from the Drug Enforcement Administration, according to well-informed sources, does single out several Israeli companies, with sensitive DEA information technology contracts. The companies, Comverse and JSI, received a $25 million contract from DEA in Sept. 1997 to provide interception equ...
Pete Nelson, the Pentagon deputy director for personnel security, told World Tribune.com, on March 13, 2002 that "some foreign nationals—those in the most sensitive positions—may not be permitted to remain in those positions ... [W]e need to ensure all people with access to sensitive IT systems are cleared and properly...
The new DOD regulations, to be implemented within the next 60-90 days, would extend restrictions that already exist on classified projects, to non-classified DOD projects as well.
According to the newsletter Middle East Newsline, Israeli firms currently have DOD contracts for encryption technology and software, that is vital for the security of the Pentagon's most sensitive data bases.
The Israeli firms have made deep inroads into the Defense Department's IT operations, as the result of recent years' pressures on Pentagon budget planners to save money by outsourcing, even to foreign firms. The Department's Pete Nelson admitted, "The IT business has become largely contractual, with programming and dat...
The Justice Department, on March 4, issued a memorandum from Robert F. Diegelman, Acting Assistant Attorney General for Administration, which placed similar bans on foreign nationals involvement in information technology development and maintenance. The memorandum ordered DOJ information officers and procurement direct...
Readers of EIR who have followed the Israeli espionage scandal since Executive Alert Service broke the story on Dec. 4, 2001, will recall that a string of Israeli companies—all founded by veterans of the Israeli Defense Force signal intelligence division—have won sensitive U.S. national security contracts, giving them ...
A third Israeli telecommunications giant, Amdocs International Ltd., has the exclusive customer-billing and call-tracking contracts with the 25 largest phone companies in the United States, giving Amdocs access to the routing information on practically every telephone call placed in America.
The most comprehensive dossier on these Israeli firms to appear in the U.S. media, was published in EIR on Feb. 1, 2002, and has since been republished, along with exhaustive additional documentation of the Israeli spy apparatus, in a LaRouche in 2004 campaign special report, Zbigniew Brzezinski and September 11th.
What's more, both Comverse and Amdocs personnel have been linked to the scores of Israeli spy teams, that have been operating in every part of the United States, since no later than January 2000 (see "EIR Blows Israeli Spies' Cover in Sept. 11 Case," EIR Dec. 28, 2001, and "Israeli Spies Scandal Is Too Big To Bury," EI...
According to government sources, and a 60-page Drug Enforcement Administration working document, now widely circulating among reporters in the U.S. and Europe, 125 Israeli "art students" were detained and deported between January 2000 and July 2001; another 80-100 Israelis have been similarly detained, interrogated, an...
In one case, set forth in the DEA document, an Israeli "art student" was bailed out of jail by another Israeli, named Ophir Baer, who was an employee of Amdocs.
The proximity of the Israeli "art student" spy teams to some of the suspected al-Qaeda "sleeper" networks in the United States has prompted some American national security officials to suspect that Israel had infiltrated the Sept. 11 terror plot, at some level, and failed to pass on the information to U.S. authorities.
In Texas, California, Arkansas, and Florida, U.S. investigators found that the Israeli "art student" teams were living within a stone's throw from houses and apartments occupied by suspected "Islamic" terrorists, whose names appeared on an Oct. 2001 list of individuals whose assets were frozen, at the request of the U....
In the most egregious instance, a dozen Israeli spies were operating out of a Hollywood, Florida address, 4220 Sheridan Street, just a block away from 3389 Sheridan Street, the apartment where Mohammed Atta was living with three other men accused of the Sept. 11 hijackings.
On March 15, the first evidence of direct Israeli Mossad ties to the U.S.-based spy teams surfaced, in an unlikely location. The weekly Jewish newspaper Forward published a pair of lengthy stories on the Israeli "art student" spy flap, which attempted to discredit the charges that the Israelis were targetting the U.S. ...
Forward's Marc Perleman reported that "far from pointing to Israeli spying against U.S. government and military facilities, as reported in Europe last week, the incidents in question appear to represent a case of Israelis in the United States spying on a common enemy, radical Islamic networks suspected of links to Midd...
On the face of it, Perleman's explanation for the Israeli "art student" fiasco is pure fabrication. The DEA documents, butressed by on-the-record statements by several U.S. government spokesmen, confirms that dozens of DEA, FBI, and other federal law enforcement facilities were targetted for aggressive surveillance by ...
What was revealing about the Perleman story, was the confirmation that one of the most controversial of the Israeli spy teams was a Mossad squad, working undercover.
On the evening of Sept. 11, local police in Bergen County, New Jersey, arrested five Israeli nationals as they were driving a van, owned by their employer, a Weehawken, N.J. moving company called Urban Moving Systems.
The five Israelis, Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Oded Ellner, Moer Marmari, and Yaron Shmuel, had been spotted on the roof of the moving company warehouse, shortly after planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers, taking photos of one another and obviously clowning around, while pointing at the burning towers in the ...
Perleman reported, "In addition to their strange behavior and their Middle Eastern looks, the suspicions were compounded when a box cutter and $4,000 in cash were found in the van. Moreover, one man carried two passports, and another had fresh pictures of the men standing with the smoldering wreckage of the World Trade...
The five men were turned over to the FBI by the Bergen County police, and, after two of the men's names appeared on an FBI-CIA list of known Mossad operatives, the U.S. opened a foreign counterintelligence investigation of the incident. The Israelis were held for several months, interrogated and put through lie detecto...
After one brief interview with the FBI, the owner of the moving company, Dominik Otto Suter, fled to Israel. Authorities confirmed that the company was a Mossad front, whose "main office" was a letter drop address in midtown Manhattan.
Putting the New Jersey arrests together with a similar incident that took place a month later in Pennsylvania, poses further questions about another possible modus operandi of Israeli Mossad spy operations in America.
According to The Mercury, a Pottstown, Pennsylvania newspaper, on Oct. 17, 2001, another group of Israelis, working for a moving company, were detained by police in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb, in response to complaints that they were illegally dumping the contents of a tractor-trailer behind a local ...
It is not yet clear whether the "moving companies" are part of the same spy apparatus that has been the subject of the DEA-initiated interagency counterintelligence probe, a probe that is an included part of the Sept. 11 terror investigation.
Government officials are not talking about how the multiple tracks of Israeli spy leads are being viewed, although a DEA internal memorandum from Dec. 2001, clearly links the "art students" probe to the review of the status of the Comverse and JSI contracts.
EIR has also learned that, in several Western European countries, including the Netherlands and possibly Germany, the Israeli Mossad is officially handling all visa background checks, for applicants from Arab and Muslim countries. According to a well-placed diplomatic source, the Israelis offered these "services," free...
The source of this startling information, however, noted that, under this arrangement, the Israelis have access to the past travel itineraries of all the visa applicants, and would, therefore, have a profile of individuals—such as Mohammad Atta—who travelled back and forth to Pakistan and Afghanistan, and other al-Qaed...
These are disturbing questions that need answering, if the full story of the events of Sept. 11, 2001 is ever to be known, and a serious crackdown on the actual authors of the horrific attacks achieved.
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) repelled the al-Nusra offensive aimed to cut-off the main supply route from Sweida to Damascus. Al-Nusra militants attempted to advance East from the al-Lajat Plateau in the Dara’a province towards the Khalkhalah Military Airport. However, militants were unable to bypass the SAA’s defenses ne...

The cast of Kingsman: The Golden Circle don't mess around when it comes to having a good time.
On Thursday, Halle Berry surprised fans at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for the Kingsman sequel when the actress downed a full glass of straight bourbon on stage, and didn't miss a beat.
ET caught up with Berry's co-star, Jeff Bridges, after the event and the legendary actor couldn't help but marvel at her impressive alcohol tolerance.
"Look, she's pretty good. She's still on her feet, man, and she just polished off a pint," the 67-year-old Hell or High Water star said. "My God."
In the hotly anticipated Kingsman sequel, the agents of the British secret spy agency are forced to team up with their American counterparts, the Statesman, to take down The Golden Circle, a mysterious group of super criminals who are a threat to humanity.
As Bridges explained to ET, while the Kingsman operate in secret using a fancy tailor shop as their front, the Statesmen operate a little differently -- their front is a Bourbon distillery in Kentucky.
And while the Kingsman use codenames based on Arthurian legend, the Statesmen use the names of different drinks -- and Bridges, as their leader, goes by the moniker "Champagne."
"[But] I don't like champagne. It sounds a little, maybe too gentle for my taste," Bridges joked. "I like to go with 'Champ.'"
The decision makes sense, considering nothing about the Kingsman movies could really be described as "gentle." From gory hand-to-hand fights to over-the-top, guns-blazing combat sequences, the first Kingsman broke new ground for action films, and Bridges says the fight scenes are just as impressive this time around.
"[They're] excellent, excellent! And they're under the watchful eye of our [director], Matthew Vaughn, who is just so brilliant at pulling this stuff off."
While Taron Egerton, Sophie Cookson, Mark Strong and, inexplicably, Colin Firth are all reprising their roles as Kingsmen, Bridges and Berry are joined by franchise newcomers Pedro Pascal and Channing Tatum as Statesmen agents.
If the new trailer released on Thursday is any indication, Tatum certainly knows his way around a weapon -- however, Bridges says fans are going to get to see the handsome star bust out a few dance moves between fight scenes.
" He does some dancing in this. [He's] really good," the Oscar winner teased. "It's very appropriate to the character. I don't want to give [anything away], I probably talked too much telling you that he shakes a leg. I probably shouldn't have even said that, but I love his dancing."
ET also caught up with the Magic Mike star after the Kingsman panel at Comic-Con on Thursday, where he admitted how nervous he got when he first met Berry on set. Check out the video below to hear more.
