Keep takeaways from this video: 1.) Have an established wake-up routine 2.) If you have a specific time to wake up in the morning, go to bed at a certain time at night 3.) Have a wind-down ritual 4.) Track your progress 5.) Stop using the internet late at night: Avoid electronics late at night 6.) Ask yourself: Is the goal I want a little later more important than what I want right now? One important aspect to note about waking up in the morning from the other video: * Have a reason to get out of bed. Try to find something that will excite you and give you energy so you will honestly wake up when that annoying alarm clock goes off! Thanks, Thomas Frank! I appreciate the advice!

ilemraz S. Try to get off your phone 1 hour before bed and try 1 hour meditation while sitting on your bed laying down it will make you very sleepy you can start by doing it for 30 minute meditation and increase you can look up guided meditation for how many 30 minutes it helped me fall asleep faster you can look chakra alignment meditation if u want or any meditation.

[@quicksilver1752]

14 Minutes to fall asleep!!! It takes me at least an hour. My problem isn't getting to bed on time, its not being able to sleep til an hour and sometimes 2 after I've already gotten in bed. And if I catch myself almost falling asleep, I kind of jinx it and become conscious again making me restart the process.

[@sameenaarr9595]

14 minutes to go to sleep?! Did they mean 140minutes 😭😩

[@Medietos]

Sameena Arr: That's in normal people, i e without actual sleep disorders, and with "just" a self-discipline and addictive behaviour pattern. Inability to fall asleep until long, is insomnia Type1, the less bad variant, whereas Getting to sleep pretty much directly, but waking up after only a few hours , unable to fall asleep anew and get enough and good sleep, is insomnia type 2, which is even more serious. There are books for self-help, if one doesn't get professional help. self-help groups too. Good luck, peace...

[@anneliesemenday3844]

try lying perfectly still (most people find this easier to do on their backs) for 15-30 minutes. if you resist all twitches and scratches you can trick your brain into making you fall asleep.

[@emmaobrien5878]

Maybe try drinking chamomile or other sleepy teas, writing down your thoughts on a notebook if you notice they keep you up or even if you don't: often your brain is worrying about something, and writing it down lets your brain be able to not worry about remembering that something. Some people find taking a shower, usually warm, before bed really helpful, and most recommend having a bedtime routine like Thomas mentioned to get their brain and body into sleep mode. Hot chocolate works for some people occasionally because they find it comforting, but keep in mind the caffeine and sugar content. Try not to do intense or medium exciting excersise within at least an hour before bed, as it wakens your body and brain up. Some find yoga, meditation, reading, a warm drink, and writing whatever your thoughts down before bed super helpful, and I recommend you try at least some of those methods. Also people who don't excersise during the day might find it harder to fall asleep, as they never used that energy to maintain or improve physical fitness and the brain can use it to fuel anxiety or stress. Keep in mind that while relaxing days are sometimes good, that energy has to go somewhere, even bad somewheres. Hope that helps!

I have an alarm on my watch that goes off at 20.55. It prompts me to save what I'm doing and shut off my laptop by 9pm. Half an hour of tidying before a shower and it really helps. I've never been good at sleeping but this means I can usually get to sleep within half an hour instead of two hours. Plus it helps me to keep on top of my cleaning

You are so productive and can get so much things done. In comparison with you i am a total disaster. I usually procrastinate whole afternoons watching videos on how to stop procrastinating, it is just frustrating in the end. I want to become more like you.

[@kayla8192]

What's funny for me is that I work late (mostly 3-11:30PM) so I don't have to have any alarms but my brain automatically wakes me up around 7AM everyday regardless of when I go to bed just out of habit from school and my past jobs. I'm basically unable to go back to sleep after the sun is up and I'm awake, wish I could keep myself asleep longer since I can't alter my work schedule. I don't have a problem going to sleep, just staying asleep Great video though!

Hi Thomas! Have you got maybe some tips for how to reset your sleep schedule when going out? For example you go to bed regularly at 10 pm and you wake up at 6 am but on the weekend you stay up until 3-4 am because there is a party and you wake up around 11-12. What is the best way for not losing your schedule, and get back to it the next day, and go to sleep again at 10 pm?

[@AlyAngelxD]

I've been subscribed to you for a while now, and don't think I've ever felt the need to comment on any of your videos, but I find the information in here extremely helpful!! Lately, I've been very frustrated and burnt out with my failed attempts to get more sleep aside from being on top of everything else in my life. However, this video's given me more motivation to try again! Thank you and please keep up the great videos!

Hey thanks Thomas! Really loved this video and one about getting up early. Words to live by. Sleep is so crucial to our health and productivity and it seems like in today's world it's getting harder and harder for us to give ourselves the time to sleep. Good tips and easy to implement. Thanks again. You are one of my favorite youtuber and a personal inspiration to me! :D

[@Wendathena]

Thanks for the video! I need to work on stopping all activities at about 9PM so that I can go to sleep. I love staying up late and can get up early but know it is not good to be sleep deprived. Also love the book "Spark"!

[@Fat3Distr0]

Any tips on actually getting out of bed?

[@Thomasfrank]

+Sam S yep! I had trouble with this for years, and eventually built this system to *force* myself out of bed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eouzf6SAmJJ9m8k - some people think it's crazy/overkill, but it absolutely works for me. After several months, I eventually got to the point where I no longer needed it - however, that's only the case when I have a *reason* to get out of bed. In the Japanese island Okinawa, they have a concept called "ikigai", which for them means "a reason to get up in the morning" - something I think is essential. For me, it's getting to skating practice - I love doing it, and my coach expects me to be there. So I wake up early enough to get a good breakfast and get there. But ikigai can be smaller - I know people who simply look forward to waking up for a walk or a cup of coffee. Another tip - when the alarm goes off, don't even think - just swing your legs out of bed and stand up immediately. A quick rush of physical activity blunts the desire to go back to sleep. This morning was a perfect example - when my alarm went off, my brain was screaming at me that I was too tired, that I needed more sleep, that it was going to be a crap day... and yet today was probably my best day on the ice ever, and since practice ended I've already done my reading and written an entire video script. Don't give your brain time to trick itself ;)

i really need to tell you, that i am very much into browsing and seachring for good youtube channels lately, youtube channels that help me grow and broaden my horizon, plus sort of increase my life quality. and i motivate myself to leave more comments on channels that i enjoy, here are some things i noticed about yours: your content is extremely original, and the way you put it all together is also extremely intriguing, i feel like your topics are a bit "off" the usual part that involve self development. i am a student myself and i am extremely fascinated by a lot of your productivity tips. 2) the way you put yourself out there. classy. humorous. motivating. captivating. thumbs up! 3) the fact that you keep upgrading the projects you are working on (reading more). keep up the good work!

[@Ctrl_Alt_Elite]

Say you've developed the habit. If you have one day for whatever reason you couldn't follow your regular routine/carry out your habit, does that break the habit? Obviously the answer will vary depending on the habit but how does it play out for sleeping?

[@MattMurley]

My unscientific opinion is that missing a day may throw you off for the next day, but I doubt it would ruin your habit completely. I would think that once you've developed that habit it would be harder for your brain to forget its training.

[@Agathadu71]

I used to sleep very late and now I took the habit of going to bed at 9pm and I'm actually exhausted at 9.30 :') (But I feel amazing in the morning :D) Anyway I go to sleep around 11 pm once a week when I watch a movie or smtg and (if I don't fall asleep at 9.30 in the middle of the movie) I just go to bed normally at 11pm and that doesn't break the habit :) I hope I could answer your question, the 10 first days of this habit were kinda weird cause I was going to bed (with no screens ) at 9 pm and it would take me like 1 hour to fall asleep but after those ten days, going to bed early made my life just so much easier. I would suggest everyone to do the same ! :)

[@Ctrl_Alt_Elite]

+Agatha Reynolds thanks, just the kind of answer I was looking for actually. I had stress-induced insomnia around 2 years ago now. The way I "fixed" it was by waking up at the exact same time every morning no matter how many hours of sleep I got. This basically reset my body clock. I try waking up early but have never TRIED sleeping on a schedule. I'm definitely going to attempt this though.

[@Agathadu71]

TheWolfTyrant Glad I could help ! You've already done a good job, I wish you the best with your "sleeping journey" :)

[@Thomasfrank]

+TheWolfTyrant my opinion: you've broken the streak, but not the habit. To me, building habits should be all about focusing on the overall trend, not individual failures. If you're doing something 95% of the time now that you only used to do 20% of the time, I'd say you've built a good habit!

[@dennisstornes3097]

[@chengcheuklong]

Tom, thank you for the Awesome video! I'm a college student and I've been watching your videos and listening to your podcasts for a while now. I just want to express how grateful I am to find this channel. I am now following a schedule of waking up between 4-5 am, using Habitica to track my daily routine and the things I need to get done. I'm very inspired by your videos! Keep up the good work :)

[@Mindseas]

Very solid advice all around and very happy to see a video about this topic. I just think that your approach to this subject can potentially lead to getting stressed about sleeping, getting to sleep and organiszing it. Maybe that's kind of the point in a way, but I think the world we live in has plenty of stress causes as is. So perhaps a bit more laid back approach in delivering the very good principles you're describing would make it a bit more approachable? I have a wind down ritual of my own where I have a light snack, watch an episode of something fun and then read for an hour or so. I sometimes break the "rule" so to speak and it doesn't affect my sleeping at all (about 8 hours before I start waking up on my own) in the long run. Like you say it's all about the overall consistent sleeping rhytm and getting enough sleep. What you could've mentioned is that - currently - there are thought to be three types of people, morning, day and evening. Morning people like to get up early and are most productive during the day. Day people...yep you guessed it. And so on. Another thing that might've been of interest is that in general our brains are the most apt during the first hours after we've woken up. It makes sense too if you think about it; after resting the system is ready to take in more and tackle those examns and other challenges. Anyway, nice video, just a tad bit less achieving would be nice.

I bought a smart bulb which you can schedule to change light to a sunset like any time you want. I hope to trick my brain into sleepy mode once the light color changes. I also use blue filter lights on my phone and laptop.

Good job Tom. I enjoyed this video and your tipsd on getting enough sleep, which I know is very critical to brain health as well as healing of our physical ailments. I am a huge fan of Gretchen Ruben's work as well. Her boo, the Happiness Project was a key factor in my rise out of serious depression after suffering a massive stroke in which I lost about 1/3 of the right hemisphere of my brain leaving me with left-side hemiparesis which I am still slowly recovering from after 5 long years. I admire you for making videos that can help people to have a better life. Please keep up the good work! #PSProblemSolved

Firstly, Thank you so much Thomas, you've made my life so much more productive and better overall. You are an inspiration to me and if it weren't for you I wouldn't have been able to better myself. Although I've made myself a better person and a better student, I was wondering if you could possibly do something explaining what you think students with low GPA/bad grades should do? I'm currently a Sophomore in High School and feel as though my mistakes from the past have doomed my future - including my acceptance into colleges that I want to get into. Thank you so much for you work and just for everything!

I've been trying to figure out how to spell this word forever!!

[@oreosaysb00]

Are there any Internet blocking apps for android?

[@Thomasfrank]

Yep, Cold Turkey is on Android. There's really not much for iOS though.

[@oreosaysb00]

Thomas Frank I tried it but I can close the app by opening multi tasking and close the app, so it doesn't work that good

[@KurosuKirie]

Just use do not disturb when your screen facing down, but if the problem if yourself then no matter what app you use you will always find a way to break the app that block app.

[@oreosaysb00]

***** I installed offtime and it works great! Thanks!

[@mrinalnandi3988]

oreosaysb00 quality time is one such app

[@diorchristian735]

quarantine messed up my sleep schedule, due to my eyes opening during quarantine i need to get my sleep to grow!

[@kaze217]

I liked the video, really useful tips and I will certainly experiment with some of them. My problem though, is that where I work I do both evening AND night shifts... Considering that, my sleep routine is often "out of wack", no matter how much I try to regulate it. These tips are all very good, but only if you work mostly the same hours every day. I'm guessing there must be others like me who don't have such easily manageable schedules... Thanks anyway, I suppose?

[@AnabelCabral]

I should be sleeping now

[@najmlion7129]

Same

+Hamza Masood ID 1:21 and I have class tomorrow morning

[@YeanTight]

The way you talk makes me wanna sleep so bad 🙄🙄

[@Coachiskandarzai]

i would like to request a video that answer to this question bro "how many subject should we study per day , how many hours per subject and how many times per week?". More information will be great

[@giannicremasco6649]

another idea could be a video on how to fall asleep quicker? I actually struggle with this even if I'm tired, it can take me ages to fall asleep sometimes

[@ratsalad178]

great tips! i loved the book review section at the end.

[@madzwrld]

I have sleep apnea and insomnia. sometimes it can take 1-2 hours to fall asleep. I go to bed at 9 or 10, fall asleep 1 or 2 hours later, wake up often throughout the night, and get up at 5.

[@yh2059376]

Good video! A friend of who's a Med major, mentioned to me that it was a bad idea to workout before going to bed or to drink caffeine before going to bed since the heart rate goes up and I didn't take it serious, but now I see o should.

[@messianen]

+Yissel Herrera Caffeine affects sleep even 6 hours after consumption. BTW it's not about heart rate, caffeine's effects on cardiovascular system and arousal are to some extent independent.

[@taissiobrito]

You speak very objetive and don't waste time. At first I tought the video was at 1.25x speed. Much quality!

[@miateodocio8130]

Been a subscriber for a while, don't know why it took so long for me to make this comment but thank you for helping me get my shit together :) One of my favourite people to watch on youtube, keep up the good work!

[@honeyedflapjacks]

Good tips, thank you~ I agree with some comments though lol I have big trouble falling asleep. I tried everything: turning off electronics, three hours before turning off electronics I used fl.ux to make my light dimmer, meditating, exercising before bed, not exercising before bed, etc. The only thing that worked was having to drug myself to sleep! Taking either cheap dollar store melatonin vitamins or (my favorite this stuff works!) celestial seasoning's sleepytime extra, I was able to fall asleep on time FINALLY. Now my body's used to sleeping at that time and I don't have to use them unless I'm really anxious that day, but yea, it really helped!

[@wesleyheathstrebeck]

I really appreciate all of your work in these vids. They really help me to put a handle on the concept of efficiency! Blessings.

[@LauraLegille]

It seriously upsets me that a channel as awesome and informative as this has about 250.000 subscribers and fucking Roman Atwood who makes his wife think that their child got run over or some shit has got several million. Thank you so so much for your amazing content!

[@jaredjohn6566]

awesome video keep the good work up.I'm watch this video from a country called Guyana,I'm not in college I'm only 15 years old and your videos are helping to understand what I need to do to become the best I can be

[@ThePhil5000]

What's your thought of implementing the reading 25 pages a day in the winding down process?

[@Jevansduckfan1]

I have a hard time getting to sleep and need some good advice. If I fell asleep in 14 min I'd have a lot of extra time! Thanks

[@McRuffin]

I was literally wondering if you would post a video about this because i kept waking up in deep sleep.

[@ShinYoungNoh]

There's a great app called Sleep Cycle that wakes you up between your sleep cycles, and you don't even have to fall sleep in a designated time frame. The app senses when you fall asleep through a mic or an accelerometer. You can set a time frame, for example from 7:30 to 8:00, and the app will wake you up in this time frame at the point when you're in the most shallow stages of sleep.

[@ajssproductions]

Hey Thomas! I have a question about this. I've read that you should get up at the same time every day, even during weekends. But let's say I go to a party, or do something else so I'm up really late, should I still get up early the next morning to not break the habit? Or should I sleep in and just try to stick to the routine the next night?

[@TeachersJournal]

Thank you for this video! Also fun to watch, I liked Snorlax haha. I'm struggling with getting up in the early hours for a long time, maybe my night habits were the reason for that. Now I have a new perspective to think about and to work with. I think you help a lot of people with your videos. You get a thumbs up from me an hopefully you succeed with your reading habit by now. Bye!

[@Bojan-tg2vk]

Thomas,I am blown away! How,what keeps you so focused about every thing u do every day?!Damn there's a video on youtube and it says recommended for you,Jordan Peterson : The danger of antisocial males. I'm gonna not become a zombie or ...

[@hoangmaitrinh8619]

You are one of my best youtubers ever. You always inspire me. If there are thousands of thumbs up, I will click thousands times for your videos

[@helloforever314]

I love your videos! I worked them into my routine by listening to them through my headphones while I brush my teeth and wash my face :)

[@user-rh9cu2ns7z]

Really enjoy your channel! Can you tell us in next videos what you are reading at the moment like you did it in this one? Or what about videos where you'll give us some thoughts of yours about books you've read?

[@yvonnedelories4780]

Awesome! I should be asleep but I started hanging 3 new curtains lol while listening to this helpful video. Btw I love your speaking voice. Thanks for all of your advice. Goodnight!
