What you said at 12:49 is so poignant. All of my passions and creativity were formed out of NOT doing what I was told or expected to do... 20 years later and I still treat my creativity the same!

[@Bethany-fo6lt]

I’m a morning person through and through, but I never understood the flack early birds give the night owls. Early birds are their most productive in the morning. Night owls are most productive in the evenings. Same system, different times. For example: “I got so much done before most people are out of bed.” Yes, but while you were in bed going to sleep, the night owls were just getting started. They could say to the morning person “hey look, I got so much done while you were sleeping.”

[@ilsgrade8357]

​@@Bethany-fo6lt thank you. Means a lot. I hate how the whole world seems to always bash us but we can't help it. Even after 8 hours of sleep, when I have to wake up at 06:00 I feel like crap and I'm 90% useless fpr the next 6 hours. That would be the same as me bashing others for feeling crap at 01:00 in the night while I feel energetic

[@kimberlyxvo]

but the question is is it natural or procrastination? because for Sara it was procrastination

[@EggTamago7]

Oh this is good stuff. I’m a night owl who - left to my own devices - would go to bed between 2-3am and wake up around 10-11am. It takes me forever to wake up. Primary school was a symphony of teachers complaining about me not being attentive at the start of the day (when classes started as early as 7.50am). In this regard, being able to work from home has been a total godsend.

[@Sleepyless]

Even when WFH i can't, i usually wake up for 9am daily meetings at 8:50am and go back to bed for anothe hour right after lol, but in total yes it 's been a absolute godsend

Yeah, that's really good but on the other hand when you want to go travel or meeting with your friends maybe it will be hard to create time for that. For example even going to a market will be a problem (not a major one but little one). But if it's possible to create a really good home atmosphere and really good night owl people that would be awesome also.

I can SO relate to Sara. I wake up late, without an alarm. Loiter around, casually ease into the day, and then wind up working late into the night when I find I have the most focus. I pursued self employment almost exclusively for the ability to do this. I was a complete zombie my entire time in school and I could not keep living like that.

I’m a night owl and have struggled with the judgement that comes with not wanting to operate on everyone else’s schedule. I’ve also put a lot of shame and pressure on myself, and felt like I just lacked discipline for not being able to adhere to the routines you see all over the internet. Learning about chronotypes was so validating. Being in a remote job with a more flexible schedule has also been a game changer. Routine and structure can be super valuable, especially as a chronic procrastinator like Sara, but being able to build a routine that works with my natural schedule not against makes all the difference.

[@ZTanMURReneRs]

I feel it's weird how this video seemingly still buys into the idea that being a night owl means wasting your time in the morning instead of just shifting your time. Like you don't need to get up slowly if you get up late. You can still have a routine just at a different time. The whole idea that you have "all this time" in the morning if you get up early has always weirded me out so much as if people don't know how time works and just totally ignore that if you sleep the same length of time, you will have the same awake time regardless of when it is.

Absolutely. This video is organised/motivated person vs procrastinator, not early bird vs night owl. Really unfair comparisons.

[@anneonymous9646]

Thank you so much for portraying late start/late night in a positive light! I've tried for so long to wake up early, and I can do it, but I didn't realise at what cost until recently. I've actually pushed my night until later for practical reasons (flatmates in the bathroom anyone?) and ended up sleeping less overall and feeling more refreshed when waking up. And I shed some of the guilt I had about waking up late, and I feel lighter as a result! Also, the willpower that I was using for waking up early and having a good routine (working out, journaling, etc) is now available for other things. No more fighting each morning only to be tired and depleted for the rest of the day! What a difference it can make!

Thank you for making this video! I love your productivity and experiment content, but I am definitely a night owl. I ate breakfast at 1pm while I watched this.

Schools and remote or office jobs should definitely offer more options though.

[@nafdikyaaqsa]

I love when I'm able to wake up early, there's so much more time to get things done before the world starts waking up - but I'm also a night owl whose best hours are between 10pm-3am. Without that late night slot, I feel like I'm losing a part of the day which is for me; the calm hours where I'd draw, study, watch something, listen to a podcast etc before I go to sleep. It's a neverending battle.

[@chabardestheo]

[@jmc3893]

I am a morning person in theory but I can relate to Sarah's anxiety issues. In an ideal world I wake up early and start tidying my space, casually have breakfast and do some reading, go for a walk and listen to music and slowly ease into working. But then I don't have enough time to finish work so I can get my sleep to get up again early 😭😭😭

Gotta love it when the "night owl" is like "Oh no, I go to bed at 3 a.m. and then sleep until 10 a.m.!" *blushes* I'd love to hit these numbers on my days off. Usually it ends up being anywhere between 5 and 6:30 a.m. followed by waking up around 1:30 p.m. from my alarm that keeps me from sleeping even longer 🥲

[@tdrb42]

The thing that really brought home the point for me that the biological clock is real and you can only do so much to change it was working a job for the summer that required me to be there at 6 AM every day. No matter how dead tired I was, night time would hit and I absolutely could not sleep. My mind was racing and my energy level increased despite me desperately wanting to sleep knowing how tired I would be in the morning. Meanwhile, while I worked, I downed 3 energy drinks a day just to keep from falling asleep in the chair. I eventually settled into a routine of napping when I would get home at 4 knowing I wouldn’t get enough sleep overnight. There’s no way I could survive on a schedule like that long-term.

[@Gigusx]

I love this! I think I've had and tested all kinds of sleeping routines (a lot of them as a consequence of youtube videos pushing the idea of becoming the morning person) but what I tend to gravitate towards, and always have, is very similar to what Sara does. The lack of distractions during the night is absolutely amazing, but this routine doesn't make it easy to live when you have fixed schedules like school or work where you *need* to show up at certain times during the day. But had I the freedom to set my own schedule I would 100% stick to being a night owl.

[@szprinter]

I saw this video already 3 times on my homepage. Everytime with a different thumbnail. I feel like Matt is gonna change thumbnails until I watch it

I'm very similar to Sarah. I tend to sleep until 10am and then slowly ease into the day. It's really difficult to rewire that. I often have morning shifts at work, starting at 6/7 am, and I can never get enough sleep before as I tend to stay awake until like midnight.

This video made me realize the differences in how my partner and I each start the day (she is more like Rachel and I am more like Matt). I often feel like I'm trapped in bed in the morning until she wakes up, but even then, it takes her a while to get out of bed. My personal takeaway from this video is that I should start doing things that can be done stationary before she wakes up, then I feel more productive and less stressed.

[@binsidas]

Why not get up and start your day?

[@Namoraslife]

Same with my partner and me. He gets up two to three hours before me and just tries to be super sneeky. 98% of the time I don't hear him waking up and he can get stuff done. Why not just get up quietly before your partner?

[@patriciaa4451]

For several years I worked a job where i needed to wake up at 4 to 5 am to get there on time. Combined with the long commute, I was miserable. Now I have a flexible schedule where i can wake up at 8am and work from 9am to 6 or 7pm. I feel so much better.

[@spencersonnier1]

I've never understood why waking up early is seen as productive and beneficial but sleeping in is seen as lazy, we all need sleep, so sleep whenever you'd like.

[@isaiahayers1550]

That's definitely total nonsense. The only thing beneficial for productivity in waking up early-ish is that you're awake during more business hours than someone who wakes up at 10:00 or 11:00 or later.

[@David-wi1ou]

It's probably tied to the sun from very old times, or someone who wakes up earlier can take things earlier, although, with this logic someone who stays up late, is earlier haha

[@kimberlyxvo]

well if you procrastinate your work and have anxiety about it like sara then I would say maybe try to wake up a bit earlier and do some work earlier in the day instead of at the end of the day. but other than that I agree, sleep whenever you like if it's not bothering you or your mental health

The whole “morning people tend to get better grades in school” etc line is kinda bs though. I was a night owl when I was going to school, and I gotten good grades. I would go to school with 4 hours of sleep and 3 cups of coffee in me and I survived lmao. However I was quick to realize if I set expectations low, I can get what I want if I magically started performing well. So then que, me deliberately getting C’s and when there was something I wanted, I asked my parents, they said if I get better grades they will get it for me, suddenly start getting A’s, get the thing and go back to getting C’s, rinse and repeat. I taught myself to do the bare minimum but when something I desperately wanted is involve, to give it my 100% and I will get it (maybe) lmao

[@crazyhorse9298]

I sleep from 6am to 2pm due to being a pernament night shifter. I think if u have a pernament schedule set and your not jumping between Day Mode and Night Mode, you're fine. Doing shift work was the worst. Easily. I wake up at 2pm, and exercise and get out of the house before dark.

[@TheIrisCZ]

As an owl, that actually forces myself to wake up at 5am, I know, that it can be done. Although, in a way it is also quite dangerous. The thing is, I have the most energy in like 10pm. That's when I would like to start the best projects etc. But it's also the time I should go to sleep according to my schedule. If you actually give in to both (waking up early AND using your late-day energy), you'll start suffering sooner or later. Because at first you get the benefits of getting ridiculous amounts of work done before the other people even arrive at work and leaving shortly after the lunch. And you can also have a lot of fun later, when you have the energy. However, then your sleep debt start creeping up on you and it can have dire consequences.

Awesome to see this collab. I started watching John Hill years back and loved seeing his progression (Progress Daily!) in life. They motivated me in life which lead me to watching your channel. You guys are a huge inspiration.

I work for the railroad and we have an extremely irregular schedule. Actually no schedule at all. we could go to work at 8am, 11a, 5pm, midnight, 2am.. whenever. And we are on call during these times, meaning, we get called and have to show up to work 2 hours after they call us no matter what time it is. It has terrible effects on our health.

The first part when he said : It's not even the morning it's 9:30 😄😄😄😄😄

[@hxfx6771]

I am naturally a morning person. When I work late in the day I find that I make so many mistakes that I am making more work for myself.

[@DnAMcD]

Fellow night owl here tuning in at midnight Queensland time 😉 Hope Nat & Bubba are doing well Matt. Enjoy the last little while of the freedom to come & go on a whim 😊

[@herlandsson7936]

10.50 it made my gears turn when he said "neither" to both options

[@2013Kenya]

She's living the life I'm supposed to be living 😂

[@puroldtigre]

I love the self critical humor of these videos and of the productivity culture 🤣 We need more of this

[@RockinStar28]

Im just now easing into embracing later mornings and nights. There's so much guilt still left from when i was a teenager and getting scolded for doing creative stuff during the night and sleeping in...so glad that homeoffice allows me to finally have days i dont start alreasy exhausted from waking up early🙏

[@joaquinneis]

I was a little into early bird before my child was born, now that he is here, I went full early bird. The calm before the storm is your time, you can do whatever you want, and is up to you to use it for being productive, just catch up with a show or videogame, or watch this video.

[@TriggerTrue]

Love this. Can’t wait to see your prospective on productivity, sleep and children. It was a wild wake-up call for me. Pre baby life I was a night owl with horrible insomnia needing anywhere between 8-11hr of sleep to function best. Now with two little boys, I don’t get to sleep in past 6-7am most days living off average of 5 hours sleep a night broken up to breastfeed.

[@kristym7149]

If I could I would go to bed at around 4am and sleep until noon. I do my best work at night when no one is awake to distract me. It's actually been really helpful for college

[@jamesbrackiniv]

Such a prolific filmmaker. Thank you for your work. Would love the opportunity to have you on my podcast

[@selenay6821]

I'm a night owl too, usually 3-4 am is when I'm the most creative and when I write the most

[@amandakarlsson4343]

My default is fall asleep between midnight and 2am, wake up between 8-10am. Then I want to have a day that's pretty similar to any "morning person day". A little workout (usually a walk or run with my dog), a breakfast and then get to work. My day is pretty much just pushed forward a few hours compared to those who wake up at 5-6am. I don't want to have my leisure time first thing in the morning, on those days I get nothing done. One can wake up at 8 or 10am and still follow pretty much the same routines as someone who wakes up at 5am 😊 I get that they swapped routines for this video, I'm just saying that a night owl doesn't have to have leisure time first thing in the morning and work during the night. They can work during the day, and just be awake at night too, since the brain doesn't want to sleep until late in the night.

[@joannat1898]

Exactly!! I liked this video, except the thing that bothered me is that it’s basically saying night owls don’t have structure, which I find irritating and completely untrue. This particular night owl may not enjoy structure but it is not a part of being a night owl for all of us. I have a very structured day but it just starts and ends later than that of a morning person. I am very type A except that I happen to also be a night owl. It helps that I run a successful business on the East Coast but most of my clients are on the West Coast of the US. As a night owl, I am pretty useless early in the morning but have a burst of energy later in the day. I still have a schedule but typically start work between 10-11 and end around 6-7.

[@Alan.livingston]

10pm to midnight is my golden time. Everyone else is in bed and I’m just a little tired so my mind isn’t racing and distracted so the flow state comes more easily.

[@trentellen11]

Recently found Sara through her husband John Hills skateboard channel, and I’ve been a long time subscriber to you it feels like my algorithm is just creating videos for me lol

[@ILikeGuns1992]

She wakes up at 10 am and thinks it's late? Wtf. That's early!

[@MemoDeemo]

I didn’t expect to see John hill in this video but it made me very happy

[@fantasticfifth5]

I can switch between both pretty easily 💙

[@to1620]

In my past, I was once forced to work 3rd shift because it was the only job available. What I found was that I had to keep to that schedule on my days off. It was horribly depressing to me, because the nights spent not at work were too dark, quiet and lonely. Especially in a New England winter. It really took its toll on my mental health. I see futuristic movies where they have windows that can project a fake sunrise-and I always think to myself “that’s the only way I’d ever be able to work that shift again!” I’m totally a diurnal person, for sure.

[@Ratsfrom42]

"it's not even morning it's like 9:30" XD

[@ConwayCowboy]

I was always a morning person as a kid. I went to work after school and got off at 6:00. So I’d come home eat shower and go to bed by 7:00. I’d get up at 3:00 a.m. and I still find that the hours between 3:00-8:00 are the best time to be productive

[@toolfinderhq]

Awesome to see you two and this experiment 😀 😴

[@adjones921]

Just had a kid and you definitely have to learn how to go with the flow. I'm neither an early bird or night owl (I'm a bear) but I've learned to sleep when I can. When you sleep is not your choice in the first few weeks! It's temporary. You will get through it. Congrats and thanks for making great videos!

[@EscapeMatrix0000]

John Hill no way bro took me back to a time where I used to watch his videos before skating 😭

[@janoscoquyt]

I'm an early bird, i'm rarely productive after dinner. I've always had the 'work first, play after' mentality, rewarding myself for my productive work i did during the day by relaxing at night.

[@austingreeves]

John and Sarah on the Chanel , I’m so hyped for this video

[@peache8]

I forgot which study it was, but apparently night owls are created. Given a no lights sleep outdoors situation, most night owls end up going to sleep much earlier (like 8/9pm). Personally I get up earlier when i started working out in the morning (before 10am). If I continue to train in evening, it shifts my morning wake up time by at least an hour. Imo, being a night owl can age you - I noticed a huge difference in muscle repair especially when i sleep before 11pm vs 12am.

[@theskilledsnake]

waiting for someone to find an actual night owl who goes to bed at 10am and wakes up at 6pm

[@andrewsiuFB]

This man really call waking up at 10 a night owl, when I be getting up at 2pm on holidays

[@Auxcordbroke]

I love your videos brother. You changed my perspective on life over two years plus+. I never thought I’d see myself here. Thank you for your help. You are an amazing individual. Always thinking about you and your contributions ❤
