When we see a tired Rocky wake up, we see a holy cross come into shot behind him. This is to represent what he strives for and the God he aims to be when in the boxing ring. Below the cross is an alarm clock which shows the time as 04:00am. This was deliberately used by the producers to show the audience how much effort Rocky is putting in to his training and what success means to him. The most significant part of the scene is where we see Rocky crack four eggs into a cup and drink them raw. He's clearly using the eggs as a health remedy and as part of his training régime, which shows just how serious he is about winning.
It's also worth noting that Rocky sleeps in his sports sweater which shows that he trains 24/7. This is confirmed when we don't see him change the sweater as he runs in it in the next scene. We also see him spill some of the egg down this top, but he doesn't seem to care at all because we never see him try to wipe it off or even affect him at all. His clothes also don't appear to cost much, which shows that he is just a normal citizen and the chance he has been given to fight Apollo Creed is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
