The tips start at 5:25. 1) Figure out how much sleep you need 2) Exercise for health and energy (this also helps with motivation and going to bed on time) 3) Schedule exercise so it doesn't prevent you from going to bed on time 4) Make a schedule (have a purpose for waking up early) 5) Balance and prioritize your schedule & activities (set limits on how late you'll meet / stay out with friends)

Fun fact: If you tell yourself you're not tired, your body will stop being so tired, but the same goes in reverse. If you keep telling yourself you're tired, then your body will respond and become more tired. A very useful tip for falling asleep and staying awake!

Thanks!

[@illuminatedwithin1126]

I used to think I wasn't a morning person AT ALL. 9 am was the ideal wake up time for me, and always wished it was later. This year, I challenged myself to wake up at 6:30 am every morning and it's honestly one of the best things I could've done for myself. Who knew!

[@lenamonroe2961]

This gives me hope. It's so hard for me to wake up! But I really want that extra time in the day

[@miZ_dream]

As someone who’s living with my family, waking up early is amazing. I get time for myself without bothering anyone or wasting too much electricity. Loved the video btw! I felt the same when you talked about sleeping early and sleeping _forever._

[@PoninesRegen]

Doesn't suit every Job though. I usually work until 10 pm. But honestly, I like it that way since I am convinced that I am an night owl. In University while working on my final thesis the best time for me to write was between 8 pm and 1 am. That was the only time I could really concentrate for longer periods and I also would have alot more creative energy than any other time of the day.

[@kiamckenz]

I relateee

[@lccw4301]

Same here like waking up early is good but you can't force yourself. You can compensate those extra hours in night and wake up well rested and refreshed if that's what your body suits.

[@oasis6339]

This sounds like it could genuinely work, personally I've had really bad experiences with waking up late. So much so that I've actually been missing meals and been physically sick, I've fixed that now but I feel like this could really help me. Thank you

[@davey4259]

Hi!! I also became a morning person about 3 months ago and since then I am much more productive and I have time to read. It is very nice to see other people doing the same thing. I usually wake up at 6 o'clock to have time to do other things until 8 o'clock, when I have to be at school. :)

[@daniellakashouh5297]

U are so inspiring and I am 12 years old, my school starts at 7:30 am and I used to wakings up at 6:45 but now however I am waking up at six and I feel amazing. I have more time for myself and it is so relaxing 😌 Keep on doing more of these videos ❤️❤️

It is true when she said you must have somewhere to go when you wake up early bc that's the only thing that actually help me leave my bed. The moment i know, i have nowhere to go and just staying home, is the very reason i just can't wake up no matter what i do. All tactics fail for me in that case.

But I am waaaaay more creative at night so I DO NOT sleep regularly at all, sometimes I go to bed at 5am,.....ups😑 Sometimes at 6pm so, any tips how I can balance it, how to not waste time AND not get up at 1pm AND still be creative?

I've always been someone who can focus more and be more creative at night. So when lockdown hit, this became my routine. It wasn't good at all! I'd wake up at 12pm and I was tired all day. BUT! I've realised through being a cadet that becoming a morning person is the way to go. If I go to bed at 11pm, I can wake up at 6:30am and I end up being okay once I've brushed my teeth. A plus to doing this is that by 11pm I'm exhausted. I need to incorporate this schedule into my normal life not just on summer and winter camps because it takes me forever to sleep these days. Thank you for this video!
