Are you an early riser or do you prefer sleeping in? Lucie Fink spends 5 days waking up 3 hours earlier than she normally does to see if "early to bed and early to rise" really does make a person healthy, wealthy and wise.

Do 5 days of doing ALL OF THE 5 DAYS ALREADY. So 5 days being vegan on 50$, saving money, while waking up at 5 and still sleeping 10 hours, without your phone, with a jar of coconut oil, spending time alone, having zero trash, and meditating. That would be EPIC

[@Mikaylap713]

If she slept ten hours while getting up at 5, she would need to go to sleep at 9 and take a 2 hour nap lol

[@iliketositandeat4718]

I don't think that would work

[@jasminetanguay3378]

that would be awesome!

[@butterflyqueen9260]

Natalie Cheng YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@charlotteeolsen8397]

omg yessss

[@LauraNeuzeth]

I am loving Lucie's series! She's so much fun to watch. 😊

[@wwinnie_ee]

I agree :)

[@shivi5008]

Totally agree !!!

[@poppyorman7369]

This is sooo funny you got more likes than lucie and I do agree

[@jeffjavens1215]

I'm actually in love with her.

[@fargofargofargo]

it can be a pain sometimes but waking up early does feel good to me. my key to waking up early and NOT going back to sleep is to immediately get up and walk around or do something phsyical for 10 minutes.

[@refinery29]

+haruhizuzu123 Interesting -- that is smart. But the key is to actually to get up... ;)

[@Xaglacionn]

+haruhizuzu123 Waking up early involves sleeping properly the night before so it's not a struggle to actually get up. I generally wake up at 4:30am (9-10:30 hours of sleep) so I can take my morning really slowly, and go on a walk before I start the day.

[@maevefriedman7720]

I love how open minded she is when going into all these challenges :-) so fun to watch

[@Msfinable]

one summer I messed up my routines so badly I ended up just skipping one night, going super early to sleep the next evening (like 9 pm) and then woke up at four in the morning. It was interesting, so I kept that routine for a week or so. I went for a walk each morning to see the sunrise, then read a little for my own enjoyment, and prepared breakfast for my family around 7.30 HAVING BEEN UP FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS Oh god I had so much time! No parties tho, I was fast asleep my 9.30 hahah but yeah it was interesting.

[@Mienarrr]

Msfinable I‘ll try that 😁

[@superstar15732]

We high schooler, middle and college student have to wake up like that everyday

[@tashirahlucas5104]

Right

[@aloha8827]

sparklybuddies in middle school in the winter I woke up so early that it looked like 2 but when I went out there would still be no sun....

[@alejandromolinac]

This applies more if you are a full swing working professional... Sometimes you get in a funk...

[@killedit7956]

Allison Kim in middle school we (I, because some of my friends Easley up at 5.) wake up 5 minutes before we go to school. School opens at 7:15.

[@Eccentric_Villain]

We Mom's do this too. Wake up early, get kids ready for school, get kids to school, work.... life.

[@saroquitas11]

She's always so fun to watch! Great video, you guys never disappoint ^_^

[@refinery29]

+Sara Lima SCORE! We love to hear this. What do you think we should do next for 5 days...?

[@saroquitas11]

Refinery29 maybe talking to a new person everyday? for example, monday is for starting a convo with a random neighbour, tuesday for a stranger on the bus, or a co worker you've never spoken to, etc and tell us the different types of reactions or possible lessons!

[@refinery29]

+Sara Lima Sara, we love that. THANKS xx

[@paulaaquino5847]

+Refinery29 yessss just discovered this and I'm having a Lucie Fink binge marathon hahaha

[@sririjani7448]

This could be me, but i keep pressing the snooze button

[@dnsjsbs]

Same

[@refinery29]

Another Friday another Try Living with Lucie -- thanks for the video Luc, go get some sleep!

[@bloodmayft]

+Lucie Fink Since my college schedule change from 7 am everyday to 10 am now....I decided to wake up at 7 am! and it really makes you more productive. I have time for excercise, good and healthy breakfast, making me some lunch for the afternoon, walking more to school and enjoy my city in each walk. I even have more money because I stopped taking some buses and public transportation to my school.

[@katrinakat8798]

Can you do 5 days without wearing makeup? :D love your videos!

[@LeksiW]

+katrina kat Damn, that's brave. I don't think I could do it.

[@peanutbutter655]

None of my friends (in highschool) wear makeup, is there something that happens in college that makes a woman wear makeup non stop? Because I dont see that ever happening for me

[@katrinakat8798]

Most of girls start using before highschool, I bet your classmates use makeup too, but you don't notice, even if it's minimal makeup, like mascara , concealer

[@chelseytyler88]

I could only because I actually look better without make up on.

[@faithirismacilvaine2499]

katrina kat yes!!

[@diinalens]

You're really lucky that you get to wake up at 5 but organize your schedule as to make you feel better. I wake up every day mon-sat at 5:30 and from 6:30 to 8:00 (when school starts) I have a hour-long commute that really drains all my energies, and then I fall asleep during class. I envy you.

[@KAGAlaina]

love this series! hope they stay a regular thing! she's so fun

[@jaebearify]

Im really liking this series so far, great video!

[@sfmsl87]

Love this series! A big Congratulations to everyone involved in making this one of the highlights of the week for me! :)

[@justines7048]

LOVE LUCIE, I live vicariously through her. Keep up with these videos!

[@nishikajudge334]

She is so fun and pretty! Love you Lucie and I tried the coconut oil one and it really worked good. Thanks for all the help. Luv u lots Lucie and Refinery29!

[@pineapplehead7772]

I found myself to feel more awake and full of energy when I wake up early. The later I go to sleep and the earlier I wake up, the easier it is to wake up. It's kind of weird haha. :D But I have this weird habit of sleeping in the afternoon. I can come home from school full of energy, not in the need for sleep, not tired at all but the moment I lay in bed to check out some social media, I start to feel really sleepy. The bed is so warm I love it haha. :D Anyway, my waking schedule for every week goes: Monday-5:55am, Tuesday-4:45am, Wednesday-5:55am, Thursday- 4:45am, Friday- 5:55am, Saturday- around 10:00 to 10:20am and the same goes even to Sunday. Oh look how beautiful my week is hahaha. :D

[@berlandealy7224]

.

[@oliviaunderc0ver]

PineappleHead 777 yes thats exactly what happens to me because when you go to bed when your body wants to your body wakes up early but when you go to bed at a certain time your body does not want to go to sleep cause it still has energy and you need to get all that energy out of your body before you go to bed so when you wake up you have refueld energy and if you dont do that, in the morning your body want wont to get up so what i do is get on my phone and then when i feel sleepy i turn the light out get under the covers pray tell my parents goodnight use the bathroom(tmi) and then go to sleep

[@katieg.3851]

4:45???? That’s like the middle of the night not even morning lol😂😂

[@CrazyLyn013]

Lol I watch this after sleeping in till 1 pm.

[@sandrakivimurru1590]

I am watcing at 7.12am

[@dnsjsbs]

10:37

[@olapuspita4952]

I accidentally saw this video and decided to watch it because my sleeping schedule has been a mess lately. i sleep at 3 am and woke up at 11 pm almost everyday, and totally feel bad about it and i waste a lot of my time. this video somehow makes me feel motivated to try harder to fix my sleeping schedule and wake up earlier. thanks refinery 29, please keep making this segment with Lucy. And Lucy, i really love your personality! xx

[@ashleybussiere6544]

I look forward to living with Lucie so much! She just puts a smile on my face with her cuteness and inspiring ways. Oh and yes I wanna be your friend Lucie!

[@launaej]

I love your personality and definitely want to see more of you around the Internet! Obsessed.

[@MohitBhandarivlogs]

I wakeup at 5am and I enjoyed watching this video. Good work Lucie :)

[@lyndseyreed949]

My husband and I wake up between 4 and 5 every single weekday - him for work, me for working out and then work. We have a toddler's bedtime and no social life, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Friends are overrated anyway. :)

[@crybabykermit8651]

Who needs friends when you're 80 years old, SINGLE , and with 10 cats.

[@kiyal.3594]

Lyndsey Reed I know but I can't help wishing I at least had 1 or 2 good friends

[@FOOD-zv7dx]

Friends are NOT OVERRATED!! do u even have any than 😅

[@aliciaandnoah]

Lucie, love these!! It's always so refreshing :)

[@perdykool]

Love all these helpful 5 day experiments. I do get 7 hrs a sleep a night, maybe 8 with an afternoon nap, I get up at 530 every morning, I stay hydrated and use my phone less... but of course it helps when you have a set schedule. My everyday is the same, wake up time, breakfast lunch and dinner with snacks, work schedule, I know when my breaks are and I start and get off work the same time have the same days off. I have been at the same schedule for 5 years and I feel great, invigorated, and overall happy.

[@HaNguyen-zx5gt]

I need to train myself to stop hitting the snooze button in order to try this ... But I love the concept of this series. Plus Lucie is also so charismatic. Can't wait to the next episode!

[@alextaylor3]

These are awesome! Subscribed just for Lucie's videos :)

[@talulahcohen2531]

friday night well spent watching this! :)

[@boperadotto8703]

Try Sunday night :/ …er, morning

[@bdfilms4861]

For having a series... I still learn something new about her every episode :)

[@kyleerene3]

This gives me so much inspiration to do this for myself! Thank you so much for this. Absolutely adore you and what you do! Much love!❤️✌️

[@geezlouiseee]

i love ur stylee!!

[@vitriala]

What a cutie pie! she's so fun to watch. i really like her!

[@ameneh212]

I love your videos and your energy... Thanks!

[@cocoswan3844]

I've been waking up at 5am for the last two years and it's the best. I go to the gym, do morning errands then off to work!! 5am rocks!!

[@roselifestyle507]

This is so inspiring! I'm going to try getting up at 4am each morning because this video made me feel really motivated to improve my health and fitness.

[@autumnworshipper]

Woah that's what I aaaalways tell myself that I go to bed earlier so I can get up earlier. Instead of getting up at 7:45 am and leaving 8:15 am I want to get up at 6:30 am or 7:00 am and leave at 8:00 am or 7:45 am. Ugh but I'm still trying 😅😅😅 I'm impressed by how well you done it girl!!

[@aliciaandnoah]

And I love that The World pillow case you have there ☺️

[@MUSiiCRoxxMySoxx]

She is the cutest ever! I love waking up early; it makes me feel motivated :)

[@LexiStar27]

props to you. I just ended 1.5 yrs of a 1.5hr one way commute to work. So I would wake up at 6 or 7 depending on when I started that day. But on my late days I did start waking up a half hr to hr earlier and did so much better when I read or did stuff around the house. And then I got audio books to listen to on the commute or sometimes sat in silence just to think about life and actually listen to myself. I surprisingly kind of miss that designated time.

[@lifewithjown]

Loving these Lucie videos! so relatable!! i really need this. I cant seem to wake up early in the morning even if Iset like 5 alarms

[@crispadilha]

i wake up at 5:30 every day and i know how hard it is... great job!

[@MissLynSanity]

This was really enjoyable haha! I'm crafting a get-up-early challenge for myself right now, thanks for some added inspiration!

[@amykhlegen8861]

Her style is goals

[@chelseytyler88]

I'm proud of you Lucie for trying this out.

[@lm5176]

I tried waking up at 6am. I realize I had to have something to do in the morning so that I don't fall back asleep. What's next?

[@Mienarrr]

and did you figure it out? 😁

[@NK-he6eq]

Found out about refinery29 through your videos, good content

[@nicciGT]

I don't have to be at work until 8:30...and I generally leave the house around 7:30. I get up at 4am though...I get a lot more done early in the am than when I get home. I love it!

[@dayanaflores21]

Can we be like best friends!? 😤 Love these Try Living with Lucie videos!

[@Bewen_]

Healthy , wealthy and wise !

[@MillieToro]

You inspired me to start waking up early, completely changed me!

[@LaurenPaigeMagenta]

That trainer is so cute!!!

[@laydiesvabyola1953]

[@hannve]

i wake up 5am every morning without an alarm...i dont know why,....i dont even try

[@LuisGarciaSprout]

Hannn x train me master

[@georgiegray3761]

5 days of helping people in need! x

[@laurencarroll_x4582]

The thing is, if I want to wake up early, I need to go to bed earlier than usual. That means I have to go to bed an hour before I want to get to sleep, bc it takes me SO FRIKING LONG TO GET TO SLEEP. halp. Anyone else?

[@paigebyers4857]

Love your videos Lucie!

[@korazona3731]

You so inspired me to do this!

[@maxe381]

1 - LOVED the Bridesmaids reference at 4:08 lol; 2 - I'm so jealous that you wake up at 8 for work every day!! Today I was up at 2:30am. I'm usually up at 4:30am but I'm trying to make time for the gym in the morning. I also went to bed at 7:30 last night. I work 12 hour shifts from 6am-6pm and they're exhausting. Just found your channel and loving it so far!

[@maxe381]

@aditi basu mornings are best for me. It’s the only time during the day that I have the most control over. The rest of my day is subject to what happens at work. I wake up at 4am, feed the dogs, cat, and let the chickens out. Leave the house by 4:45-5, 20-30 mins to get to the gym, workout until about 6:30-6:45, then changeover for work. Usually work until 6pm-ish. Then home, eat, take care of the fur/feathered babies, then have a cup of tea and decompress. Then bed and repeat lol. You’d be surprised how great mornings are once you commit to getting up early

[@user-ds4yo7cz3h]

I love the challenge videos❤️

[@nguyenkpvy]

I love this "show" I FREAKING LOVE LUCIE FINK!!!

[@gaelvain]

Thanks for the motivation 😍😍

[@meerimegemberdieva8293]

I like your videos so much, you're helping me to be motivated and change my life😍😙

[@isabellewerbiski5532]

I love these videos ❤️

[@alishanorville7235]

Amazing videos kind of on a lucie fink binge💘😂💘❤️

[@karenladd808]

Cool video idea. It gave me inspiration to do the same so that I can productively spend more quality time working on myself. You've got a new subscriber!

[@WithMonica]

Her eyes! I love them, they're so big! I can't stop staring. I want them!

[@davlor86]

+WithMonica such a shame she has a bf

[@nikos-giorgos]

+WithMonica You want them?Don't you think that's creepy?

[@davlor86]

νικος γιώργος oh c'mon, you know she didn't mean that lol

[@nikos-giorgos]

davlor86 Yup...

[@TamiShey]

definitely have to try this one :) thanks

[@pynkstarr]

I am not a morning person unless I've just been up all night long, which is usually every night. But when I had to in the past, I definitely noticed a difference in energy and productivity.

[@kimberleybruesch3876]

I am really enjoying your videos which I just discovered this week. I wake up each day at 5:00 and I don’t even need an alarm clock anymore! I also just watched your hydration and exercise videos and commented on them. The first thing I do when I wake up in drink a quart of water. Then I spend some time reading and praying before I do my workout (I skip the workout on Sunday). These are all great habits to form now while you’re young. They have served me well. Have you tried five days of fasting? Or 5 days of intermittent fasting?

[@IAMSANAA]

I commute to uni three days a week. So I have to wake up at 5am, to make it to class at 8h! And gotta say hhhh it's not easy to wake up that early, when you go very late to bed!! Lucie fell asleep on the subway I once (maybe more xD) fell asleep in class! PS: LUCIE YOU'RE SO FUN TO WATCH

[@SzeQii]

loved this! xx

[@polkabee123]

I totally would love to start my days earlier than I currently do, it feels sooo goood, but it's so difficult to get up when it's still dark and gloomy outside!

[@anareese6126]

Love the PJ shirt!

[@starofmitra]

great vid

[@XxSharmsxX]

I'm trying to fix my sleeping schedule because it was messed up from winter break, and I randomly started waking up at 4:50am and I don't think I ever realized how long a day actually is. I was up from 4:50 and went to bed at 11pm and I got so much done in one day it was crazy. It was a happy accident and I hope to keep it up!

[@kariwithlove]

First video I watched and I love it!!!!!!!! This was so cool. Can I work there, too?

[@daniellehalsall]

that is the coolest 'office'! would love a video about all the different job people do there - and how did they get the job?

[@daniellehalsall]

ps - lucie is the perfect host for this

[@azuenkageyama]

My mom does that everyday...she is amazing!

[@Amelia-us4nr]

Hi lucie! I just started watching your channel and I am really inspired, I love watching your experiments and seeing the results. Tomorrow I have decided that I am going to take the 5 day no sugar challenge! I am really exited but , also worried that I won't make all 5 days because I am addicted to chocolate! By the way I love your outfits! :)

[@user-dd2bh1yw7y]

I LOVE Lucie soooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@heathermai100]

I wake up at 5 on the morning for school and it's hard in the beginning, but if you find a way to encourage yourself to wake up you'll actually feel great!

[@jadeyLICIOUSx]

I clicked the button like last week or the week before that, i don't know, can we be friends Lucie ? 😊😛

[@loyceowusu9599]

In Colombia you have to be at school by 6:30 if you want to get into the building.

[@hannahgarcia4565]

I get up at 4:30 every weekday for seminary before school. On saturdays I sleep in. Sunday’s, I get up at 7:30 to get ready for church.
