I Woke Up At 4:30 a.m. For A Week Like A Navy SEAL

Retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink suggested in a Business Insider interview that everyone should wake up at 4:30 a.m. So that's exactly what BI producer Emma Fierberg did for one work week.

No, you didn't get the real message here they are trying to convey. It was just an example and having a sleep and waking up pattern will give u more time to do the things you can't actually get done when you wake up a little late than 4 or 5:30AM. It gives you more personal time and gives you more energy. If you still don't get it then don't do it. Period. No need to argue

It's not sleep deprivation if you're not depriving yourself of any sleep. Think about what you do after 8:00 pm. After you've eaten dinner and taken care of your hygienic for the night, you're probably not doing much that's productive. If you're going to sleep at 8:30 every night and waking up at 5:30, then that's 9 hours right there, the recommended amount of sleep for most adults. Not depriving at all.

[@daniellengyel6486]

Exactly this. I love when people go "oh my god I'm so tired I only slept 6 hours" while for most people in today's world 6 hours is optimum. When I was studying for my exams and I wanted to get straight A's I slept most days 4-5 hours. Soldiers on missions especially those who are what you could call "bad sleepers" get that amount on regular. I know sleep is an essential for your body to function but if you have other more important stuff in your life that you focus on, sleep gets pushed away and you prioritize your goals instead. And this is coming from someone who has struggled with sleep A LOT and still works out, runs daily and sleeps 6 hours (if I'm lucky 😁)

There's 2 kinds of people: morning people and night people. The biggest difference between these 2 types, I find, is that morning people tend to be superior about it.

[@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892]

Totally disagree, it's a choice, or, a necessity if you will. Nightshift (yes, I was a daytime sleeper) for 26 years (do figure out my age), replaced by naturally waking up, fun fact, pretty exactly at 04.30, back from my run at 06.45. I kidd you not.

@@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 OK. So you were able to reverse your schedule successfully and now you wake-up with the birds and even go for a morning run. Your comment just proves my point - that morning people naturally assume that their way is "the better way," and that being a morning person is something we should all "choose" to aspire to. So even though you *were* a night owl? You either decided or had to change your ways - and now you've "seen the light" (quite literally). Now you're a morning person, and as I said - superior.

[@michaelb2789]

Sarab Yahya Well there’s a lot of more mental exercises. One would be the infamous drown proofing. It involves them tying your hands behind your back and your feet together. After that, you must bob from the bottom of the deep end, to the surface to take a breath. You do that for about 15 minutes. Then, while tied up, we also must swim from one end of the pool to the other (50 meters) and then dive down and pick up goggles with only our mouths. Another grueling activity is the 50 meter (over half a football field) underwater swim. If you surface for air, it’s considered quitting. During hell week, you do physical activity constantly. It last 5 1/2 days and you get a total of 4-6 hours sleep for the whole week. During this 5 and a half days, one thing they do is make you tread water in the Pacific Ocean, which is always extremely cold) and they make you stay out there until someone drops. I’ve heard of some classes staying out there for up to 50 minutes. I can continue on with some after you read this one. I don’t want to make this comment to long.

I was in military school for 6 years and literally had to follow this 4:30 am crap except for the weekend. And now I'm close to finish my med school; leading a life where sleeping itself is almost a myth. From my experience and knowledge one thing I can assure you - waking up at 4:30 am doesn't make you productive or energetic. What makes you feel like that is sleeping at least 6-7 hours without any interruption; a healthy food habit with lil amount of workout every single day. That's the secret. If 4:30 am was the secret of being more productive than every soldiers would have been a millionaire by now; no offense.

[@GaBY031000]

Randy, the actual amount of sleep that is necessary for the average person is actually around 6 hours, that meaning around 3 cycles in which the most important functions are being "restarted", and the average person's cycle is around 2 hours( a bit under actually) . Actually in case of a lot of people studies have shown that a 5 hour sleep is healthier than a 8-9 one. Increased blood pressure? Cancer? Where did you get that from? Literally anything above 3-4 hours of sleep has no effects on your body directly, other than you not being very productive. My old grandma that has heart problems watches tv shows up to like 1 am and at 7 am she is up doing housework, and this is for as long as i can remember her. I haven't slept more than 6-7 hours for a continuous amount of days for like years now. Stop believing the oldest lies that have not been proven scientifically.

So I wake up at 5:30 ever since I left my job (now in my own business). There are few points in this video which is practically wrong or is incomplete we can say. 1- You do not have to loose your sleep, 6 hours or somewhere between 6-7 hours is enough. 2- Sleeping & waking up is a kind of training for any body, it will take more than a month to understand that everyone can do it.1 week is just not enough for judging. 3- You do not have to find things to do, u can always plan ahead & even if you don’t have any thing, then entertaining yourself is not bad in my personal opinion. Sometimes when I don’t go to the gym I wake up & watch movie or a series, just like people do at night before sleeping.

[@Naglfar83]

The first one or two weeks are hard. On the first few days most people will be like "This is easy! I can do that every day!", but after a couple of days it will get harder. Partly because of sleep deprivation, partly because people tend to forget why they're doing it in the first place. At this point many people will say "I need my sleep and getting up at 8 am isn't so bad after all." - but ultimately these are excuses for giving up. Don't do that. Pull through - eventually it will get better as your body will accustom to the new sleep cycle. Also, it doesn't have to be 4:30 am. Find out a time which makes the most sense to you to accomplish all your morning goals and then stick to it - even on weekends.

We kick the ball a few times in each football game.

you do actually score in "American Football" with your foot. Its called a filed goal. Not that you need a body part to name the sport. Because if you go by that logic,, Names like Rugby or Cricket etc make no freaking sense. hope this helps... stay lit, Merica.

Kickball is baseball with a dodgeball, so even though it’s called kickball they throw with their hands more than kick

I started getting up at 5:30AM everyday, and it substantially imoroved my productivity, however it took me about 10 days to really get adjusted to it. Also making sure you exercise everyday makes a huge difference with how much energy you have, even if it is just 20 minutes a day taking a brisk walk. ....So... maybe I'll try for 4:30 for a little bit ;)

[@deltawhiskey6732]

Couple of points. Doing this kind of thing for a week isn't going to yeild much results. I used to never be able to get up early, but I spent bout a month getting up at 6:30 and now, I get up at 6:30 even on the weekends. #2 Jocko even states it's less about the 4:30 and more about having a hard wake up time that you stick to everyday. Jocko says he goes to bed around 10-11 and still gets up at 4:30, but not everyone can survive off 6 hours of sleep. If you need 8, sleep 8, but keep a hard schedule. Finally, once you keep a hard schedule, you'll tend to find that even when you go to bed later than usual, you'll have deeper sleep and wake up at the same time, feeling rested.

[@geosock]

What I took from this was I can wake up a little earlier and feel a lot better. A month ago, I saw this video and started waking up at 6:00 am instead of 7:30. I like it. It’s nice to get ready for my day, which starts at 8. 4:30 would be too extreme

In BUD/S you wake up at 3 and are expected by 4 30, as an active duty SEAL ur sleep schedules vary, in iraq in the teams you did a lot of night ops, then be expected to do reconnaissance and gather Intel during the day or (what ever ur told), so ur work hours are 12 to 15 hour days or more on some circumstances, I hear now In 2018 things are more calm since theres no major conflict like war so the guys can get on a sleep schedule, which you will get up at 3 30 to 4 30 to do training and shooting drills and such.

[@zakosist]

If a large percentage of the working class do that, people need to push for a change. I'm sure that ruins both people's quality of life and overall public health both physical and mental, which in turn damages society as a whole. Lots of things affect each other, and people could actively care more about other problems again if they didn't have more than enough with their own. And for no justifiable reason unless its an emergency occupation like working in a hospital where people could have a medical emergency at any point. Or caring for someone who needs around the clock care. No reason why people who merely work in a store, factory, construction work etc. should have to wake up that early. I have had to wake up at 5 back at high school and its terrible (I get that an even earlier routine may be even worse, but I already only slept for like 3-4 hours each night, because couldnt fall asleep in time)

[@D.M.S.]

I had times were I woke up at 6 in the morning for school, and went working after it until 3 in the night. I didn't even had time to go on a break in between, or eat. I lived like that for 2,5 years. I also worked and studied on weekends. At least I wasn't at home with my fighting and drunk parents. I have no real memories from that time and I suffered from depression after that for another 2 years, which I can also not remember...But I'm fine now. Good times!

I did this for like 6 months in HS where I’d go to sleep at 11:30 and wake up at 4. It was nice to wake up, shower, make a nice breakfast and watch the news for a while before I had to go to school. It made the school day feel shorter because it was a lower percentage of the time I had been awake, if that made any sense. I’d sleep in on Sundays, because it would be super unhealthy if you didn’t get some actual sleep every once in a while. It works of some people, it doesn’t work for me now because I’m up until 4:30 most of the time now.
