[@CarrieRad]

Hi all! Hope you are loving this video!! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

[@meganeleven1994]

1. Set aside the stress you experienced during the day before going to sleep 2. Have an energising / happy music playlist to play in the morning 3. Open the windows for fresh air and natural light in the morning 4. Have a glass of water on your nightstand 5. Have a night routine that makes you feel good 6. Wake up when your alarm goes off immediately 7. Have a consistent sleep schedule

[@laurynphillips7679]

I’m a bit late on this but I’m currently rewatching this series!!! I’ve been waking up at 5:30am for about a year now and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made!! I love being awake when it feels like the rest of the world is asleep. Doing Morning Pages, reading, going outside, praying, meditating and working out, as well as getting a head start on my work before most people have even woken up, is the best feeling! I aim to get to bed every night by 9:30 or 10pm at the latest. During exam season I aim to stop working at 8:00pm which gives me time to have a bath, do some yin yoga, meditate, read and overall wind down before easily falling to sleep at 9:30! For the rest of the year I stop working at 7pm which gives me longer to wind down before bed! :)

WHYYY??? WHY IN THE WORLD Do you not have more subscribers. You deserve soooo many more. I've been following you since like forever seriously. Said it once and I will continue to say it!! YOU DESERVE SO MANY MORE SUBCRIBERS!

[@xmbrly8015]

been trying going to go to bed around 10-11 and waking up at 6-7, and it’s really crazy how quickly my body has adjusted to where I just wake up without an alarm like you said. thanks for another great video carrie!! ☺️✨

[@planetprimrose]

I envy people who can drink an entire glass of water before falling asleep. I’d be awake in less than hour to pee.

[@e.s.beards]

eloise haha🧡

[@SaraAnderson]

Yeah, definitely not a thing for me. Whenever I drink water before bed I'm always up to pee!

[@roootheee]

Same!

[@marie6315]

Ohhh my god saaamee haha sad life😂

[@Kenisgae]

I'm pregnant so I can't drink anything before 6 or I'll be up all night peeing and sometimes when I wake up to pee I can't go back to sleep for a while

[@aleairess]

My 7 tips are: 1) To listen my favourite music 2) To drink coffee in the morning 3) To read a book 4) To meditate when i go to the bed 5) To watch a movie before to sleep 6) go to the bed early 7) To practice exercise every day

[@neerjaaa1]

1:33 I may have written about your videos on my gratitude journal a few times. You have no idea how much you are helping me with EVERYTHING literally everything!! Honestly thank you for being an amazing human being😭💗

[@inuu9985]

I have been trying to wake up at 5:30 and I was shocked how much it improved my life. I have always been a morning person but the whole day just feels so much more inspiring and good. Thanks for your video series!

[@JayPalfrey]

who else is LOVING these videos?!

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you!!! :)

[@hina4500]

I am a new subscriber and, man, am I glad I found your channel. Your attitude and ideas are chill and rational, so I can actually relate to and implement them. Thanks xX

[@CarrieRad]

Oh my gosh thank you! Makes me so happy to hear this

[@_NorthernVibes]

I found your channel a few days ago when I was looking for videos related to waking up early. I’m not typically a morning person and being up super early seemed impossible to me. Your tips helped me SO much. I transitioned into waking up early super easily. Yesterday I woke up at 5 am, today I was able to get up at 4 am. Both mornings I only snoozed my alarm once. I took a melatonin at least an hour before I wanted to go to bed and got the full 8 hours of sleep. Which helps dramatically. It’s so peaceful in the morning and I’m able to start my day with the right mindset instead of feeling like I’m rushing to work. Yesterday I began crashing around noon - probably because I ate cheez-it’s and hash brown badness in the morning. Can you do a video on how to stay energized throughout the day? Or what has helped you on days when you’re dragging your feet? I don’t drink coffee but love tea, today I’m bringing some with to work to see if that helps the afternoon burnout but it’s also only my second day of being up early so I’m assuming I’ll have some body side affects lol.

[@nataliedust2783]

I really like your videos I’ve been struggling with depression and at a real low for me I found your videos and they have just motivated me more and I’ve really appreciated them and I’ve implemented a lot of small changes in my day to day and it has made a world of difference for me so thank you

[@starsdaisuki]

Thank you for this. I hate my job and I bring all the crap with me home. I'm going to try these tips this week.

[@audrey9140]

i haven't been waking up at 530 because I don't get off work until 9 so that would be really difficult for me to unwind in time to get a full night's sleep. BUT you did inspire me to gradually change my bad habit of sleeping until 10. Now I've adjusted to waking up between 7-8 am. As a natural morning person (when I'm not working as a closer) this has helped me feel a lot better. My dog is happy too now because I use that extra time to take her on long walks while I listen to podcasts. Self-care in the morning is my new favorite thing and having something to look forward to has been really nice. Thanks for the inspiration! 💜💜💜🙏

[@e.s.beards]

Audrey I struggle with this too because I have a baby that I'm still settling in his own room til about 9pm in and out so i would just get him down and then I'd have to go straight to bed myself ... 🤦‍♀️always such a balance haha

[@jillianm20]

This was perfect timing! I have to get up at 5 am for school and am trying to get better at it and feel better when I wake up.

[@jendobing8482]

You are the best and always so positive and post such great content! How in the world do you not have more subscribers?! You seem more real than 90% of people making videos

[@maggiefarnsworth3704]

Absolutely loving this series! I'm such a morning person, which is difficult because I work full time and am never off until 11:00 P.M. Ideally, I'd love to be up at 5:30 A.M. every day, but that's just not possible with this work schedule--however! Your videos have inspired me to be more in tune with my body's needs, and have found that I really only need 7 hours of sleep per night. Your tips have helped me get to sleep by 12:30 A.M. and can be up at 7:30 A.M. which is still fairly early. And now I can try these 7 habits to feel more energized! Thanks Carrie, you're the best!!

[@tischa3639]

I have been following you since three weeks and I watched almost all of your videos because they are soooo inspiring! I am so glad I have found your channel. Have a great day!

[@theitzelperez]

I recently started following you. I am loving your content. I just had a baby 4 months ago and its been a hard struggle getting back to my old habits of waking up early. Your content gives me so many great ideas to ease back into it!

[@elizabethweaverling263]

More video series like these please! Always can use more self care inspiration

[@Bladeofterrasen]

Waking up at 5:30 is very much something I am implementing in my life. My body naturally wakes me up at 6 nowadays. I plan to workout, make food and film YT videos with all the time I have. M/W/F I have until 1pm to do all the things at Uni. T/TH I have until 12pm to do all the things. Thank you for these amazing beautiful calming videos.

[@Melissa-zk5je]

this is what I needed 💛 been feeling really unmotivated and sluggish every morning

[@melissag2606]

Just found your channel and I think your content is amazing, I just want to binge watch it all! I do wake up at 5:30 but that’s because I work at 6 so I don’t really have time to take some « me time » in the morning 🙍🏻‍♀️

[@Emma-vt2jl]

Just discovered your channel and I can't stop watching. Thank you for such positive and helpful videos. 💜

[@danid7823]

I love all of your content, so many great ideas! You have the most soothing voice, every time I turn on one of your videos it puts me into such a relaxing mood. It just makes me want to tackle my day with grace and positivity. Thank you!!

[@CarrieRad]

THIS makes me so happy to hear THANK YOU!

[@sydneymagnuson6786]

I have been binge watching your videos!! I love them, and have definitely needed them! Thanks you 💖

[@CarrieRad]

So glad you are loving them!! :)

[@laurasuarez4307]

Honestly, I always find your videos so comforting and motivating, they have definitely helped me to work on and improve in some unhealthy habits that I had during college like studying at night until really late and waking up so tired and having to sleep through the day to get more energy to be able to study at night. And now that I just finished college and that I found your channel, I have been more mindful of the damage that I was doing to my body and my mind, so thanks a lot Carrie!

[@Jadestrawberrylemonade]

Recently found your channel when I was researching how to sleep better and I am obsessed with you haha I have been trying to wake up at 5:30! But I constantly wake up multiple times during the night so this sort of explains why I’ve been finding it so difficult!

[@CarrieRad]

ahh yay!!! welcome!! :)

[@SuperNemmy]

You beautiful person ❤️ the alarm tip is helpful. I have about 3-4 different alarms set in the morning to gradually wake me up but it’s actually taking sleep time away !

[@Ksiciliani]

Your videos are always such a wonderful pick-me-up. Thanks, Carrie :)

[@CarrieRad]

that makes me SO happy to hear

[@kadiyahlodge9430]

Changing my alarm to something more upbeat...love these videos:)

[@jennylewis2404]

I’m loving these videos at the moment, they are really inspiring and are motivating me. Thank you ❤️

[@CarrieRad]

Yes! Happy to hear that - thank you xoxox

[@ThatGuyDrew16]

The glass of water by the bed is a really good technique. There have been several times i SMOKED that glass with my pillow. Get up and clean up glass and spilt water. Magical.. I’m ready for the day..

[@beccathinkstoomuch5266]

I love that your tips are so easy to incorporate into everyday life, even if it’s just one at a time. I’m a new subscriber and I’m really inspired by your positive outlook on wellness. I would love to see a video on how to build and maintain a healthy romantic relationship, red flags that come up in an unhealthy relationship, and how to maintain a sense of self and caring for your own needs while also being a good partner.

[@Shiharaariel]

Hi, you mentioned that waking up at 5:30 is awesome, but you forgot to mention that You are Awesome???!

[@jimw966]

I don't think I've ever been this early before. Just happened to me at my computer and the notification popped up. That's why those are important folks. I go to bed about 11 and wake up around 5, alarm is set for 6 :30. Not by choice, to wake up that early. I just do. Have a fabulous day Carrie.

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you Jim!! Always appreciate you! Thanks for being so early!

[@Victoria-hy1mt]

I have really loved all of the morning videos! I have started to wake up a little earlier every day until eventually I reach 5:30 / 6 am

[@mpnb2162]

your tips really help me with getting up earlier and being more productive throughout the day while also feeling more relaxed

[@lanasa265]

I need to do everything you mentioned in this video! Things in my life have been chaotic/stressful and I feel the opposite of energised! Thank you for all your self care videos they are so incredibly helpful!! X

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for watching!!! ♥️💫✨

[@e.s.beards]

An Sa same✔

[@everydayanela7114]

Random side bar: Can you also work for audible and read books, please...you literally have the most calming voice I’ve ever heard in my life. I listen to your videos at work when I’m stressed haha keep it up! 💕

[@laurasuarez4307]

hahaha so true

[@cassiegraves4349]

Carrie you're just so knowledgeable about self-love and motivation and self-care, I could listen to you talk about this for at least an hour. I love learning from you and with you, and I'm so excited for all the magical videos you'll create in the future. Thank you

[@CarrieRad]

Ahh Cassie thanks for being so so sweet! You're the best xoxo

[@petikina]

Awesome tips!!! But i would really like to see what you would suggest for people that get off of work around 12am. I usually find it hard to fall asleep as soon as i get home. A lot of times I end up falling asleep around 1:30am - 2:30am. It's really difficult to wake up early at that point.

[@sarael8190]

Omg i was feeling so down and I just found your channel and I am so happy and I feel so motivated! Thank you! I immediately subscribed 😍

[@CarrieRad]

Yay!! Welcome!

[@rachelbevitt1410]

New subscriber!! Your videos are beautifully made and I love the way you describe things (very in depth yet simple) 🙏 you are gorgeous and I can’t wait to watch more videos of yours in the future. Love from Australia ❤️ x

[@CarrieRad]

AHH yay!! Thank you for being here :)

[@e.s.beards]

Rachel Bevitt same! I just found this channel today🙌💛

[@SaraMakesArt]

I drink a cup of herbal tea before I go to bed so I'm hydrated. I also sleep with water by the bed because sometimes, when I wake up in the morning, a bit of water is what I need to make me comfortable enough to go back to sleep again. I also drink water, about sixteen ounces worth, first thing in the morning. I usually go to sleep around 11pm and wake up around 7am. I haven't been using an alarm clock lately and my body is still waking up around 7 in the morning. This is related to your first tip, but I think it's important to make a point of not going to bed angry or frustrated. I've done this and it's not pleasant.

[@thisistina21313]

the glass castle!! such a wonderful book! i remember i had school the next day, but i was so eager to finish reading it,,, i was super tired the next day but it was so worth it!

[@ronzmiran1503]

I literally like your videos before even start watching! Love the energy in ur videos 💗 so much love

[@CarrieRad]

ahhh yay thank you!!! :)

[@varshabaker7610]

Love the idea of having a bath or a spa night before bed to help you decompress. Sounds so relaxing ☺️

[@BasicallyBrittx]

I loved this!! Recently I always naturally wake up at around 6:00 (don't ask me how... My internal clock is pretty cool sometimes 😂), but I really love waking up early! Thanks for these tips!

[@Lauren_aida]

My sleep schedule has been thrown off since I've been traveling a lot but I usually try to wake up between 6 and 6:30. I find it so much harder when I'm in a place (/time of year) where the sun isn't rising early - but by forming habits like these, it definitely makes it more manageable!

[@kaitlynwhinery2619]

I love your videos! I am a newer subscriber (I found your stuff during self care summer) and your videos are so helpful and positive! Thank you! ❤️

[@CarrieRad]

Yay!! Thanks for being here! Welcome! ✨💫

[@e.s.beards]

Kaitlyn Whinery I'm a new subscriber too!! I'm just binge watching this afternoon haha

[@maskitmati]

ahaa whenever i wake up i feel gross and sluggish so thank you for this video!!

[@jamiewaller189]

I’ve been waking up at 5:30 now for the last three weeks. This morning I found it particularly hard but after watching your video I realized it was the first time in the while I haven’t had a drink before going to sleep. So I must have just been dehydrated!

[@isacamprock]

hey carrie ❤️ I discovered your channel yesterday and i’m binge watching your videos since! You have such a great energy and you’ve been an inspiration for me to start waking up earlier and to practice more self love! Thank you for everything 💕

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you for this sweet comment & thanks for being here

[@mariam6838]

Can you make a video that might motivate me to go to school? Im gonna be starting my senior year in high school and I never felt more stressed, uni applications and everything is killing my brain, would really appreciate a video about school ❤️❤️

[@mich_and_pooches]

Enjoyed this vid immensely, apart of my Sunday night routine, bed early, watch KZbin with hot choc and then read for a bit, perfect 👌🏻 Up at 5 tomororw for work, but just this week to go then we are off on holiday, yay 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Hope Alex is ok, see his insta post, so sorry for the families loss. Sending lots of best wishes to you all xx

[@leannaoxo]

Amazing tips! I usually wake up super groggy so can't wait to implement some of these :)

[@SimplyBentley]

Working really hard toward 5:30. I was already consistent to 6:00am, but that little bit is a process. Thanks for the video!!

[@ash-xs3bm]

I have been trying to wake up at 5 for school in the past semesters. Now that the summer is almost over I am trying to go back to that schedule. Honestly, I did a horrible job of waking up at 5, so these videos are great tips. I am waking up earlier and earlier and have made it to 5:40. A couple more weeks and hopefully I'll reach my goals. Drinking water can help, but sometimes I wake up throughout the night to have to pee. Most of the time though, it helps me get out of bed right away by the intended time I want to wake up. So then by the time I am in the bathroom I am awake to start getting ready.

[@Rosypena]

You’re so inspiring! I love how you fully explain your points and why they’re helpful. Keep it up! XO ❤️😘

[@CarrieRad]

Thank you so much lovely!!!

[@thefearlessfemalepod]

I love following all these tips, especially wiring things down because I am such a deep thinker. I am up so much to pee though which is soo annoying I need to find a solution to that lol!

Hi Carrie. I'm your Turkish follower and I'm loving this video and all your videos.

[@abrilgiosa3134]

[@josepha133]

Could you please make a video on how to stay in a positive mindset? You always radiate positivity and I really want to improve on that front 🙈

[@soulitsa5535]

I'm so happy because I find your channel a couple days ago❤ I really try to sleep earlier and wake up also as earlier as I can.. I actually try to get up at 10:30 and it's kinda hard for me.. But some days I should wake up at 9.. I make progress so with baby steps I thing I can wake up as early as I want to❤sorry for my bad English

[@ShalaLicia]

Great tips! Currently trying to wake up earlier and I'm sure this will be helpful 💕

[@giamacy6684]

Hi Carrie! I’m a huge fan and I need some help. Lately since the start of school I have always been in a negative state of mind. I try to stay positive but I can’t. It isn’t stress and I know for sure. My friends told me they need a break from me. I’m trying to stay positive about this but I can’t. I need some help. If you or anyone from the comments has advice I’d love to hear it. Love you 💗

[@SaraahYoung]

I love your videos😊 I could listen to you talk all day!

[@ashleytune1598]

Last night, my sleep schedule got REEEAAALLY effed up because my anxiety and depression were really bad, so I slept it off. And didn't end up waking up 'til 11 pm. -_- So my goal is to just stay up 'til 9:30 tonight, and I'll be on the fast track to waking up at 5:30 am!

[@epiphany8118]

love your videos so much and just what I needed as I'm attempting to fix my sleeping schedule and be more productive :)) thank you!

[@CarrieRad]

hiiiiii

[@michellevancherry]

Carrie Rad just finished watching the video! I usually go to bed around 22.00 and wake up between 5.30 and 6.00 because I have to drive an hour to work, so I start early. Thanks for the tips ! 😁👍🏼

[@e.s.beards]

I really loved this video, I really need this... I struggle to keep the routine like you advise in your last point as I have so so much work and so many deadlines all the time and the children are just in a good sleep routine so evenings is my only free time so it's always such a balance, then I try to squeeze in cleaning, gardening, cooking, exercise, meal prep And if I ever want a social life that has to squeeze in the evenings too!!! I work full time and am trying to do a PhD and a youtube channel and start a business so some days I feel like sleep is my last priority 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ that's for this inspiration to take better care of myself ... if you could make a video on how to balance it all too that would be great hahaha.... I just found your channel today and I instantly subscribed and am having a little binge watch haha🧡💜💛🧡💜🧡💛🙌🙌🙌

[@CarrieRad]

ah yay!! thanks so much for being here :) hope you are enjoying the binge watch xoxox

[@ellenclare8099]

[@FashionForward12]

What is the song you used in your outro? Also, would love to follow any playlists/songs that you're loving right now!

[@circlinq]

I wake up early but 5:30 or 6:00 is a little too early for me. Especially in winter when it's all dark outside. And I honestly prefer to go to bed at 11 so I have time to wind down in the evening, so 7 is perfect for me :)

[@chisato5361]

Hi I'm new to your channel and I totally love all of your video already! I've been trying to wake up 6:30 everyday (I kind of have to because I need to take my dog for a walk) and even I have a reason to wake up, sometimes I come back home late and I just don't want to wake up that early but I force myself to wake up and end up feel so tired and don't have energy at all. I start taking meditation to let go this stress and I feel better once but still sleepy. I don't know if you have this kind of day but if so how do you get over it? you're beautiful inside and out! Love from Japan ♡

[@CarrieRad]

Sending love right back to you!! Thank you for watching and for being here 🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️
