All screens count too. Desktop screen time can be very bad for the body, sitting in one place like that. And we have known for decades that sitting on the couch in front of the tv isn't great either. Also looking at any type of electronic display has negative effects on your vision. Our eyes are made to look around at real world objects.

Waking up without alarms is even better, great video still! Here’s a few things I experienced when I ditched alarms completely: 1) the morning starts at the night before 2) sleep early and let your body wake naturally at a reasonable hour in the morning(I wake up easily at 5:45am) 3) it’s very peaceful and empowering when you wake up in silence 4) sets me up to a good morning especially when I avoid looking at my phone(I’ll be honest, it doesn’t happen all the time)

If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul!

[@Benaddicted11trkfbal]

I've lost or haven't had access to my phone for the past two weeks. The changes I've noticed in my patience and attention span are remarkable. I've always struggled with adhd, and have relied on medication to be able to work in the field that I do. I have to work 12-24 shift often. Ever since I stopped using my phone, I haven't needed medication. I've been able to complete reports, focus, and can even socialize much better with the people around me. At the end of a 12 hour shift I don't have the same anxious feeling to go home, but can relax at work and even don't mind the extra hours in money it brings. I actually have purposely started working more and have no anxiety at all about getting off on time. Doing work actually has made the time go by far quicker than just doing absolutely nothing. working is actually preferable to complete boredom, and my production has sky rocketed. I've been able to be more creative and discuss interesting things out of shear boredom because I do not have access to my phone. The only entertainment is what my coworkers and friends can provide me.

[@amantiwari1190]

I was feeling stressful and lonely these days and years since lockdown. I've found too much phone and always expecting that someone would text me or I might get a new match and all and these expectations put me even in more stress. And I can easily relate to this video that I'm not the only one. Mobile phones and social media are biggest powerhouse of stress. Every 5 minutes, you check your phone if something has got you up and this slow toxicity is growing into a bigger picture. And then I decided that I'll use my laptop to browse youtube, music and all instead of using mobile phone. And I can't tell that I'm feeling more alive and present these days. In the end, if you're not an influencer or celebrity who gets lots of DMs and you're not feeling present and are loner. ---------------Be away from your phones as much as you can.----------------------------

Currently doing a social media detox to move on from a heartbreak.

Some friends understand and respect what I do and others kinda judge me but I really don’t care.

This has opened my eye because when I checked my screen time it was averaged 10 hour!!!!!!!!! Buying a alarm clock right now, as well, thank you for the video you gained my sub!!

[@reden_fx]

As user I only use KZbin, Instagram almost never and when I do it is only to post the best photos that I've done.

[@BenCarano]

This is such an amazing video / wake up call (no pun intended). I love your content and the way you bring amazing messages to all of us! "wake up in your own life and not someone else's"

[@emilyesnyman]

The pun was good tho😂

[@daffo1179]

4h30min of screen on time is quite good. I got exactly 9h29min last week. That‘s something that really sucks I would say.:)

[@jensonspreutels]

what do you guys do for so long on your phone lol, mine is like 1h

[@RowanFortier]

I think they were looking at their daily average. Was your daily average 9.5 hours, or 9.5 hours for the whole week?

[@daffo1179]

@@RowanFortier 7h30min is my daily average

[@RowanFortier]

@@daffo1179 oh. Yeah mine used to be like that before I got a laptop. Now I spend most of my time on that, and only about 2 hours on my phone

Niklas, my mannn... Your videos always hit different 🔥 Salute 💪

[@vishalagarwal1761]

this is how one can be more focused in life i usually watch 15 secs reel for long hours this was the first time i watched 24 mins video without fast forward, i hope i can makeup my brain to use less mobile and yeah definitely getting a Alarm Clock thanks Buddy the video was a eye opener to me.

[@nuborn.studio]

I also find creative value in the evening time. Sometimes ideas or pathways of thinking arise and sometimes even adrenalin kicks in because of it. Though this is from huge value, i struggle a bit with the distraction that comes along with this. I feel the urge to note things down, when i actually have to sleep. Sometimes i take the notes if there is to much to remember until the next morning (using the phone - oh no rabbithole alert!), and sometimes i just try to remember until the next morning. Im sure some of all of you guys are experiencing that situation and that problem that comes along with it. How do you manage it? For me one solution was taking walks somewhat regularly. Im not that good in forcing myself into this mental state that we get when we are laying in bed without our phones. But taking a walk for 2 hours every know and then (probably 2 times a week at the moment) allows me to increasingly hop into this focused and creative state of mind during the walk. I still experience the bed thinking "problem" from time to time, but it happens not that often anymore since i can compensate and address it by simply taking walks.

[@mr.shelby6347]

your cinematography is literally better than any youtuber out there🙌✌️✌️

[@bennoschulz9926]

Niklas, you do really have a talent for storytelling. I think this is a great video cause I and probably many other are addicted to social media on the same way. It‘s important that we free ourselves from this sh*t cause it does NOT matter. Ahh yes by the way, I could imagine that you‘re sponsored by Philips as well 😂✌️ Alarm clock sales after this video 📈📈📈

Leave it to a bunch of millennial bros to film a high-production 25 minute marketing pitch for a technology invented 200 years and used by literally everyone's dad. And I say this lovingly.

[@prabinngangom9615]

I jus check my screen time today morning and average was 7h4m fuck.. Man m getting an alarm clock

[@nate7645]

For a couple years now i have made it a routine to read myself to sleep. I find there is no better sleep aid, i'm off my phone, and the consistency helped me read 35 books last year. Highly recommend

[@deniskelher]

My screen time was around 2 hours per day on social media. Split that into morning and evening usage which are the worst times to do that. I know its much much less then most of you out there but I still bought an alarm clock and also I placed my phone into grey screen mode to make it look boring and basic. This content can really change your life if you put time into it. I havent seen helpfull content like this in a long time.

[@GauravSharma-yu6ip]

This is my 15th time watching this video and it still gives the same kind of motivation........ I have been following you for more than a year and I absolutely love your videos.....The cinematography is the best I have ever seen. and tbh I have seen all of your videos more than 5 times at least.... Love what you are doing dude...ALL THE BEST

[@mbcommandnerd]

Here’s one thing I do that actually does help sometimes: I use my Apple Watch as an alarm. I wear it to bed, but I don’t look at it. It tracks my sleep throughout the night, and in the morning, it wakes me with a sound that gradually gets louder and some vibrations to ensure that I don’t sleep through it. Then, once I tap the screen to silence it, it shows me only what I need to know immediately: the current date, the weather outside, and the current battery level of the watch. After closing that screen, it shows me what notifications came in overnight, but as you can’t do much with them on a tiny watch screen, it doesn’t cause any problems. I do have a fully mechanical alarm clock (like, the really old kind that you wind up each night), but it’s SERIOUSLY LOUD-possibly even _more_ so than your quartz one-and as I live in a small apartment AND a small apartment building, I don’t use it for fear of waking up the entire building when the alarm goes off. And because it’s entirely mechanical, there’s always the chance that it could break eventually. So I usually save it for long-term power outages or other situations where charging my watch is impossible. But yeah, if I ever get the chance, I’ll buy a digital alarm clock and try using that instead of my watch. I may still wear it to bed, but I’ll turn the alarm off permanently, so it just tracks my sleep and nothing else.

[@InnerResearcher]

Incredible video yet again. May this me a testatement how dependent/addicted we are to our phones. Also, i highly recommend the sunrise alarm clock - you wake up naturally due to the increasing light vs a harsh sound. a total game changer for me!

[@nomadd27828]

This video is soo damn motivating, it has convinved me to order an alarm clock right away and abstain from keeping my phone next to me during work and while going to bed. Gonna experiment this for myself and see the difference.

[@zUltra3D]

I tried this today, the morning felt a lot more efficient, I could do more stuff at once before leaving, I'll see how it goes in the next few days.

[@carl4017]

Nice to see you enjoying the mother-city! You should try the sunrise alarm clock in conjunction with total blackout blinds.

[@JanKronies]

man literally after watching this video I sat down for dinner, without my phone, and right after I wrote two poems. I haven't written poems in years. It's crazy what ideas you get if you don't disrupt your mind with meaningless screen time.

[@christianflores6186]

you are awesome man. I just found you when I've searched dopamine detox, and now im hooked to all your videos. Keep it up, you're such a big help to many to make the remaining days of our lives more meaningful, well not too late.. God bless

[@dionsetiawan8798]

More than that, I have tried to journal about my activities along the day for about two months. As a routine, I am sure journaling will give us another positive change. Anyway, that's a great video!!

[@cyph69]

this video was so educational, and really was just the eye opening advice i needed. often i spend so much time on my phone and pc, that im just inside for 3/4 of the day, thanks for this video bro. this really helped me, and inspired me. Love man, keep up the work!

[@MichaelOblitey]

I agree with everything you just said! This video was definitely eye opening. He gives me so much inspiration with my channel!

[@tedtod4489]

If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

[@davidperry4013]

My goal is to eliminate screen time before breakfast and when getting ready for bed. I disabled notifications in the first 45 minutes of waking up. I'm considering a homepod mini for my nightstand to help keep my phone away from arms reach.

[@computerkid1416]

I've been using a dedicated alarm clock my whole life, I never even gave any thought to using my phone, with very rare exceptions like when I'm on vacation and I forget to bring a travel alarm. I agree with all the points you made here. In addition, another nice thing is that, when you wake up in the middle of the night and want to know what time it is, you can do that without having to open up your phone and risk getting distracted/blinded by the bright light.

[@АнонимМ-н2г]

It is very usefull video.When you are watching it you become realising that phone really get almost all your free time.Just imagine how many usefull things we could do in time which our phone took.I am watching this video in order to improve my listening skils in english.I want to say it to all people who are watching this video.I think if you watch video like this, you want to change yourself to better side, so never give up and go into your goal to the end even if sometimes it is very hard.I believe in you!

[@thenikhiltailor]

One of my favourite video on KZbin. Don't know why, but I never gets bored watching this video again and again 👀...

[@NemesisLex]

My phone wakes me up at 05:45 in the morning - after 3-5 hours of "relaxed" sleep (not really). Wash my face, brush my teeth, get dressed and at 06:00 am I leave the apartment. There's no time to stare at the phone - but relaxing is something else too :D

[@migueltn754]

That's so true. every morning soon as I wake up I grab my cellphone and scroll through Instagram / Telegram for hours and hours and hours.. And the same thing happens before I go to sleep. I gotta change this weird habit

[@shaymelville7581]

Finished watching your video and bought myself an alarm clock. So excited to start this journey and change my habits!

[@sagar_bakshi]

This video is like documentary film, Production quality is so good.

[@stefanocupoli7137]

Watching this video made me reflect a lot about the amount of time I literally waste both in the morning and evening. I should try alarm clock myself too.

[@iagocity]

A tip that worked for me, place your alarm clock at the other side of the room so you need to get out of the bed instead of just stopping it and keep in bed.

[@stormysmurf]

How did you learn German any tips or tricks?

[@qo1o4262UYA]

I 100% recommend turning notifications off on social media apps. I have mine off for snapchat and i only find myself using it lie 1-2 times a day compared to 10+ like i used to.
