*ACTUALLY* WAKE UP EARLY | my 7 tips

[@AmyTV]

I'm such a NERD for waking up early but at least I'm PASSIONATE! Where my 5am-ers?!

[@carleigh2161]

Amy Landino not a 5 am girl yet but I aspire to be!

[@carleigh2161]

I need a solid 9 hours of sleep 😩😩😩

[@Maya-tk8oq]

I've been waking up at 5 for a few years but your videos have helped me actually be productive

[@TaraWagner]

I need to make a video on waking up early when you’re a NIGHT OWL! I’ve seen so many of these vids and 90% of them start off with “I love the morning!” “I’m a morning person!” Just once I wanna hear someone say “I HATE mornings and naturally perk up at 8p but I figured this out”. 😂😂😂 Who’s with me??

[@vrandatandon3790]

Watching this video at 2:30 😥 Amy please make a video on how to fall asleep early, it's much needed 😭

[@JakeyWakey]

Chamomile tea, for extra sleepiness add bay leaves.

[@vandflaske1]

Good idea for a video

[@dawncorrell6967]

Take Melatonin and Calcium before bed.

[@carolinabarahona3054]

Vranda Tandon totally agree! Specially hard for me on Sunday, because on the weekends I wake up pretty late

[@slashblue9190]

Vranda Tandon I was about to comment, going to bed early, and this is the first comment I read LOL 😂😓

[@SaraMakesArt]

I think the first thing to remember is, no matter what time you decided you were going to wake up, whether it's 5am. or 8am., actually _get_ _up_ at that time. Especially if you've set an alarm for yourself, don't snooze it and go back to bed. I remember Evan Carmichael saying that if you tell yourself you're going to wake up at a certain time and then when that time comes, you decide no to, the first thing you've done that day is to tell yourself it's okay to not keep your commitments or something like that, which sets you up for failure for the rest of the day.

[@TaraWagner]

Sara Makes Art SO freaking true!

[@trufflegoddess1974]

Sara Makes Art Very powerful

[@GoalCompleted]

That's utterly brilliant! yes. Same here. Can I also add my recent research into my own sleeping pattern. I found that if I sleep longer past my alarm time, lI'm more tired thru-out the day, but when I do get up on time despite my resistance, it's like I won the day!

[@NaturallyBrittany]

5:30am mom of 4 over here! 🙌🏼

[@gurjodhsingh6216]

I am watching this video before sleeping. Who else is doing same?

[@MsJudiXO]

Waking up early is hard for me because of the side effects to medications I need to take to keep me alive. Each time you make a video about waking up early I watch it at least 3 times. Once to take it in, again to take notes, and one last time to make sure I took away as much as I could. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. The past few weeks I find myself waking up no later than 6am, which for me is HUGE. I can wake up and take lemon water, do my skincare self care, and take my time to do my makeup so I can roll into work lookin like a snack. Thanks Amy!! Xo

[@carleigh2161]

Ms Judi XO congratulations!!

[@xenxxx446]

You ROCK!!!

[@TaraWagner]

That’s rough! One thing that helped me was to find a “functional medicine doctor” - they are REALLY good at finding the right combo of meds and complementary care to minimize side effects. It’s been SO HUGE for me!

[@cemredogru]

Just started reading 'The 5 AM Club' and practicing it. Waking up early is truly life-changing, thank you for the tips.

[@MadeSimplyNikki]

Great video Amy! I find that at night I stay up late because it's my "alone/quiet" time while my boyfriend and daughter are asleep. But maybe I should consider sleeping when they do and getting up EARLIER than I normally do to have that quiet time in the morning. I do feel like my days are shorter and it's because I get up around 730. Thanks for all the tips!

[@trubeautyMOVEMENT]

Same girl! Nights are my quiet time and to be productive!

[@octopusgold]

if everyone in the whole world starts starting their days at 5 am we will have to start waking up at 3 😂😂😂

[@TaraWagner]

octopusgold 😂😂😂 true! Thankfully most ppl won’t ever do it.

[@trufflegoddess1974]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Healthyrunningworld]

Everyone can then have their morning me time, though.

[@MsRobbieLou]

I like to wake up between 4:30 am and 5:00 am M-F. The first hour is just for me to drink coffee, water, and journal. If I don't have this time, I feel off. I need to be out the door by 7:30 am. I work at 8 am. My job is pretty demanding and drains my energy. Not a lot of "me" time if I don't make the time. Thanks for the video. 💙

[@romancechick881]

My struggle is getting to bed early. My husband works late and sometimes doesn't get home until 9:00-10:00pm. If I don't stay up, I don't see him.

[@317savanna]

waking up inst the problem STAYING awake for the whole day is my issue

[@SilverPonyProductions]

Savanna Johnson This! That 2-3pm hits HARD if I wake up at 5. 6 is better for me. Then I have to start preparing for work at 7and l leave at 7:45 for a 45 minute driving commute. That driving time to and especially FROM work totally kills my energy.

[@PracticalInspiration]

Fantastic video Amy. People often talk about a positive morning routine which includes waking up early, but equally important is sleeping at a reasonable time and your night time routine.

[@Anonom2012]

Here's why I wake up at 5:30: I have to leave the house by 6:30. The end.

[@jkovert]

Damn, you could sleep till 6:15 then

[@YukiKunikida]

Same here.

[@taylr7827]

Same! I'm up at 5 almost every day because I have to be at work at 6!

[@GoddessHoneybear]

😂😂😂

[@GoalCompleted]

This is really great Amy! I'm into this conversation. Thank you for bringing this up. You know what I do for my morning alarm. Alarms just don't work for me in the morning. The monster that's in charge of my morning sleep and my alarm is not fooled no matter what I do. So... I have a different strategy. (This is my first time listening to you so if you touched on this before in prior videos I didn't see them.) What I do is set my alarm for 6:15, but I want to get up at 5 am naturally. IF I don't have trouble falling asleep and IF I don't have trouble sleeping then for some crazy reason I'll wake up at 5:00 AM! Now, my first thought is about how getting that extra hour will be like a GIFT. Seriously. I'll wake up. It's dark. I look at the clock and YES, It's 5AM. SCORE! An extra hour. I see that as a present for ME! WooHoo! FTW! I'm a kid in a candy store! My second thought is "the quicker I get up, the more I get of this extra hour. For some reason days like this are wonder, aren't they!

[@AmyTV]

Amazing!

[@diceandpages]

YES, I could do with this! 🙌🏻 Working from home can be difficult when you need to motivate yourself, so I'm in a really bad habit right now of accepting the fact that I'll just work late if I sleep in. It's an awful habit but hard to break!

[@AmyTV]

OMG that's so important to point out! Stop making the excuse that you'll find the time later. It's so much harder! Love this, Charlotte.

[@diceandpages]

@@AmyTV Exactly! I had a great routine going a while ago where I'd be up and ready by 7am and I'd have my workday done by 3pm. It felt AMAZING. Need to get that back again!

[@rowanelessar5892]

Thaaaank youuuuu! I needed another one of these.... I was doing so good for a bit and then fell off and it has been hell trying to get back on. But I'm currently making some changes in my life that I feel will make the process a bit easier. I'm glad you mentioned the alarm-clock sleepwalker bit. And I totally agree - when you do actually manage to get up early and not just have some time to yourself but also get some tasks off your list done before the rest of the world wakes up is SO satisfying!

[@letiziacanto01]

Girl, I keep watching over and over again all your videos because I am PASSIONATE about your content!!!!!

[@rebaladyw6314]

Night owl by nature. Have battled it my whole life. Hardest part of getting up is getting to bed to get enough sleep. And I have started getting up early numerous times in the past few years. Always slide back into old habits. I am prepping for my next attempt. Great video Amy, thanks 🙏🏻😊

[@MissVasques]

I started getting up early, 6, so I could watch tv and do other lazy things for 1-3 hours and it still not being lunch time and the day half gone. This started when I was unemployed looking for a job. Then I got a ”when needed” job and it was awsome that I could get a call around 8 o clock asking if I could work today and allready had had my breakfast and gotten ready. And when I got a work schedule a early start didnt feel as much of a pain as it would have if I was still getting up around 9. Getting to bed on time matters, prefereably no later than ten at night. If I get to bed at nine I’m happy. Settting the coffeee machine truly really helps as my coffee is done at 6.00 and it will get cold and burnt if I don’t get up. Thanks for the motivitation to keep getting up early and to do something productive with it.

[@lisaharms5009]

[@elizabethrank6447]

This is a habit I’ve been trying to implement, lots unsuccessful days though! One of my struggles is, like you, my husband gets up at 7, but I don’t want to go to bed 2 hours before him. How do others handle this? The evenings after work are when we get to spend time together! Similar problem with having a loud enough alarm in the other room, it wakes him up also. Thank you for your tips and encouragement!

[@karenatterberry2947]

This is exactly what I needed to hear today! I’m an aspiring 5am-er, and I know I function better when I get to bed early and get up early. Thanks so much for this video!

[@hoffsi]

Thank you for another great video! It's nice to hear that disappointments happen from time to time and you just need to let them be and try again the next day. I sometimes feel like a total failure and think that everybody is doing much better than I am. It's good to be reminded that we all have our struggles and nobody's perfect.

[@carmengracepuentes7953]

THANK YOU 😍😚 My obstacles are anxiety, but I plan on taking care of that sooon :)

My biggest obstacle is that lately it is so hard for me to fall asleep and then when I wake up I'm still tired cuz I haven't got enough sleep, and sometimes my husband getting up in weird hours to go to work [he's a cop] and then I can't fall back to sleep

[@MissAmyxo]

I never thought it would be possible.....but I've been waking up at 5:30am almost every morning, including weekends, for 2 months. I LOVE it. I used to consider myself a night owl but now I really see how much better I feel waking up without feeling out of it (due to staying up late) and getting a lot done before 9am (when I used to get up). A lot of your tips in the past have helped me out so much! I'm so excited for these tips because my one struggle has been weekends because I don't have work so it doesn't seem pressing. Going to try setting my intentions for working on KZbin those days instead! 💜

[@melindahart6084]

Hi Amy, great subject! My biggest challenge is my 3 year old son who is the cutest kid in the world but has sensory issues and his brain doesn’t really signal bedtime for him. So we basically made it our full time job to help him understand bedtime by setting up visual cues and giving him about an hour before we start the game of laying down and him jumping back up again. So dimming lights, the nighttime habits (no technology) definitely works. It doesn’t mean it’s a perfect system. We’ve been doing this 2 solid years and he still struggles with bedtime but the routine really helps make it less stressful and more likely to be successful for him and for us. So, yes, you are right on all points about the process of it. My son loves the 5am wake up and I’m pretty much used to it at this point. While most parents get to start their day before their kids mine just adores the super early wake up and I don’t want to discourage it. He naps and I get my me time then.

[@aimeebartlow9138]

I hate mornings but I'm learning to love the peace they bring just before the kids wake up. A struggle is the inconsistancies in my bed time and solid sleep (4 children). Thanks for the type of remembering your "why".

[@TheLazyHeffalump]

Amy, if your phone is in another room, what wakes you up? Do you use an alarm clock? Can you still hear your phone? I use my phone as an alarm clock, so I'm afraid if I put it too far out of the bedroom, then I won't hear it to wake up. If I use just a basic alarm, I will turn it off in my sleep. Not sure what to do. Thanks for all the good advice!

[@karenrubins-lawrie103]

In answer to the question, chronic illness makes it sooo hard to get up. Pain and stiffness and lack of refreshing sleep muddled in with insomnia make early starts hard. When I manage early starts though, usually in summer, I feel so much better. I love to meditate and journal before work.

[@yeahgirl11]

You might have legit insomnia. I have the EXACT same problem, and was diagnosed with insomnia. Talk to your doctor about getting a sleep study done. Your internal clock is messed up and you might need a professional to help you with your sleep.

[@alexreith4877]

I struggle with the same issue. Things that have helped me are taking a Vitamin D supplement, and occasionally if I feel like sleep is going to be a problem taking a low dose (.5 mg) of melatonin about 30 mins before I want to be asleep. I have read that research has shown that melatonin is most effective at doses much lower than what people usually take, and taking more, or too often can have the opposite effect. I also set myself an alarm to remind me to do my bedtime routine 2 hours before I actually need to be asleep, and then Once I'm done I finish out my day by reading in bed, but also give myself a cutoff time for that too. Mostly I think it's having a set routine that helps, but I'm definitely still working on it and it's still challenging, and sometimes insomnia just hits, at which point I generally don't allow myself to "nap" the following day, but do go to bed a few hours early so I can try to get myself back on a good cycle.

Thanks for the tips Amy! I've been a night owl all my life and trying to find ways to become a morning person.... and I share your love for both sleep AND early morning... I have a couple tactical questions: 1) what if you don't have another room to put the phone into, OR if you put it in another room and then you can't hear it when it goes off?? and 2) does your husband also hear the alarm? but it doesn't disturb his sleep if he doesn't choose to wake up as early (hence your alone time)? Thanks always!! xoxo

5am over here! I started waking up later and later after making the decision to work from home, then I became a wife and a dog mom of 4. Can you say goodbye to sleeping in? Lol I was having a hard time waking up and getting some me time and getting all the fur babies out to potty without feeling rushed. After I started watching your videos I started making small lists of what I wanted to accomplish before takling things for work, next thing I know I am naturally waking up at 5 and so do the dogs! Now instead of me time, it's our time! They are great workout partners too :) Thanks so much Amy!

[@wildmagik3824]

Can't wait to start using these tips tonight! Thanks for sharing them!

[@EGaborovna]

My biggest obstacle with 5am is actually the 9pm. I need a huge amount of self control to put myself to bed BEFORE 9 so by 9 I'm asleep. That means I have to start the winding down process before I'm even sleepy and I'm watching Netflix or browsing the net, or working on my project (which last one is the reason why I wake up at 5 to begin with). That's difficult, I feel like I'm forever working on that and haven't found the best solution yet apart from sheer willpower, which obviously doesn't always work. But you were right about the feeling of "getting something done from your to-do list before the sun comes up". It feels amazing. I work full time and by 7.30 I'm in the office, and it feels amazing not just that I'm the first in the office and I have a quiet hour to work there too, but also I already got my time with my own project before the rest of the world starts crawling out of bed. :) It kinda smoothes the rest of the day out, I'm 50% calmer, like doesn't matter what happens later I already did the one that was the most important to me. I can clearly notice the difference between the days when I get it done and when I don't because I went to bed at 10pm instead of 9, or the worst when I go to bed on time but can't fall asleep for an hour and I would much rather get 8 hours of sleep (so I can be productive throughout the day instead of being sleepy for a whole day) than my 5am wake up and I hate it. Hence the 9pm obstacle. It has a snowball effect.

[@SlumberandBloom]

5am is unrealistic for me 😂 but I do need to get up earlier than I do!

[@eleanorhenderson9896]

I love this so much !!! For me the hardest part of getting up isn’t getting out of bed it’s mentally waking up. I’ll roll out of bed and have a shower or a coffee but then I sit down and just feel exhausted and like I need to roll back into bed. Feeling like I can’t keep my eyes open is a struggle when you’re trying to get work done! I think it’s just my body clock, I’m sure if I did it more often it wouldn’t be an issue but at the moment that is my biggest struggle.

[@tinagrzeczkowski695]

I am just as you describe yourself, Amy. My biggest problem is getting to bed on time. What used to be my biggest problem was turning off my alarms, in a way which I could hardly control. Better than putting your alarm clock in another room (because the distance and walls can minimize the sound of the alarm) is to keep the alarm in your room but have it set to turn off only with scanning a QR code... Which you place in another room. Sleep for Android allows you to do this. Also, the bedtime notifications are also available with Droids. My Pixel 3 puts a grey scale on my entire phone screen when it's time for me to get ready for bed. Amazing setting that is hard to ignore!!

[@urvashioberoi4405]

I've been working on it!! I'm not a morning person either but it's truly satisfying when you wake up early and get stuff done. I feel your exact sentiments in tip #6!!! Telling the whole world 🙌🏼 LOL Only obstacle I have is my 14 month old waking up within the hour of me waking up at 5am. It's like she senses I'm up lol. She goes to bed at a good time (8/8:30p) and usually would sleep in if I slept in (7/8a). That's something I'm working on at the moment, the whole reason I wanted to wake up early so I would have a couple of hours to myself and start the day off right lol And question: how do you even hear your phone if it's in another room? I'm so curious about that lol because that's awesome, you have great ears!!

Been trying to do this for years, glad I discovered ur videos. Always liked the “alarm far away” idea but it kinda stuffed up when I had children. 1) so tired & now capable of sleeping thru anything so only really loud alarms wake me up (& I can still go back to sleep) 2) afraid to put alarm out of my room in case it wakes the kids too early - but seriously an hour or two for myself before they wake would be heaven & sets the day up nicely. Any ideas?

I used to be an early person no need to even use an alarm clock. Then bam I turned 51 and menopause! I fall asleep and 2 hours later I'm awake again and feel like I have anxiety and can't sleep for an hour or so then finally exhausted back to sleep and alarm clock goes off and I feel terrible without much sleep. I've been working on taking magnesium, holy basil, teas, malatonin, essential oils and diffuser, yoga and meditation. It's been helping, but it's not fixed at a 100percent yet. Thanks for your suggestions.

My main problem is I like snuggling my cats more than I like getting up.

Exact same thing, except for me it's my Shiba.

SweetAmanda I feel that way about my hubby. He kills my productivity. 😂

The cats are your passion

Given what you do, do you allow yourself a “day off”? I feel like you never completely take off, but what does that “day off” look like for you? Trying to find the balance of rest and productivity on weekends.

Hardest part of waking up early is just getting up. Once I’m up..the momentum carries. Huge fan of the 5second rule!

I wish it made sense for me to do things early in the morning, but I'm a musician which means 1. late rehearsals (till 9:30, can't fall asleep right after) and 2. the thing I would do if I were to wake up early and get things done is practice...and I play the trumpet (neighbors and spouse to consider). But this is fine because I love the life I'm living. I like early morning me time when I can get it.

PS - your video on meditation convinced me to get Headspace, and I have never in my life found it so easy to fall asleep at night. I meditate when I get home from work, and something about doing that at any point of the day helps my body fall asleep so much more easily when it's time. So THANK YOU for that!

Love to Lucy and it was good parenting to let her be on the balcony to just have her “chill” time
