Matt D'Avella 30 days of no internet! Given the nature of things, you’d need some special accommodations/help to make it work (maybe do it later in the year after you’ve had time to make some extra videos and get someone to upload them on your behalf or something). It’s amazing how much living like it’s the 1960s (ish) can give you a lot of perspective on our lives we have today. Both in the things we take for granted and things we think we “can’t live without”. Alternately: some kind of zero waste/no plastic challenge

Personally, if I sleep 8 hours and wake up at 7AM I just can't function. Why? I have no idea. I have to wake up around 2-3 AM after 6-7 hours of sleep to feel alive.

People obviously don't get this. Matt clearly says that he is working from home as a freelancer and therefore has no reason to get up at 5am, especially when waking up at 6-7am already is something that works for him. When you get up at 5am due to school, work, military or whatever, it's not your intristic motivation to do so, but you're forced to do it by an external factor. In Matt's case, it's all about self-discipline and getting up at 5am when you DON'T HAVE TO. I'd like to see all you know-it-alls to do it when there's absolutely no reason for it and you have to manage it yourself.

I’ll do some reading until 5:45 and then I’ll start getting to work. Ill work until 7 and then I’ll do a short body weight push-up workout because I am trying to get better at pushups. Then I’ll go back to work until 7:35. I’ve noticed that I can work for hours in the morning without breaks and I don’t get burnt out or distracted. At 7:35, I do my hair and wash my face with cold water. At 7:45 I go downstairs for breakfast and then I leave my house for school between 8:05-8:10. I try to get into bed at 9 pm every night aswell

As a fellow college student, I can relate. Those who get enough sleep every night, all I gotta say is that it must be nice to not be in school. School and work with proper sleep equals fail. Something's gotta give.

[@janeng9730]

I was so inspired by this challenge so I try and it really works for me because somehow my brain just works the best when I fresh out of bed (Not brushing my teeth, comb my hair,.. yet) Anyhow, my real motivation is that if I can study for a solid 2-3 hours until 7 AM, I can go to take a "quick" nap (but usually I would just lay in bed extra 30 mins and cant go to sleep and finally wake up) but still it works lol.

Yes, there's no reason to wake up this early if you have no activities to do. It's very important thing if you start.

[@lhiannellanes6487]

During the first few months or quarantine i did this and it was the best version of myself in my entire life. I cleaned my room everyday, i paint, study, memorize, eat on time, does work out, sleeps early revamp my old clothes and decorate my room. 👉🏻👈🏻 But i wasn't able to continue that cycle because i had mo move with my mom and i had less personal space so it felt like i had a reset lol. (Ps. I got fat since the day i stopped doing those and i became lazy as well) so lesson learned is wake up on 5 am every day. (Ps again. I'll start to go back to that routine)

Brushing teeth and then drinking coffee? That's pretty savage dude

[@HickLif3]

There's a different way? Seriously though, having perfectly white teeth shouldn't be stressed like it is. It doesn't really matter. Take care of yourself but you would have to do a regular whitening routine as well as making sure you aren't destroying your enamel in the process.

[@grim8995]

Maybe he drinks his coffee with sugar or another sweetener. Brushing your teeth within half an hour after consuming sugar, damages your teeth because you just made them vulnerable.

[@mattdavella]

They don't call me the bad boy of minimalism for nothing.

[@QuantumNetwork]

if you drink coffee then brush your teeth it will ruin your teeth even more. You'll just be brushing all the bad stuff from the coffee around your teeth and ruining your enamel leading to extreme tooth decay. Just make sure you wait at least 30 mins and rinse your mouth with water right after a cup of coffee :)

[@kianang2919]

My dentist sister told me I should brush my teeth within 30 minutes of eating sugar or else there's not that huge of an effect and my teeth are ruined anyway. But I'm currently not talking to her so I can't confirm.

Wut? Do you start at 5:30 or something?

[@Hagthorn]

Yes I agree the real challenge definitely is about getting enough sleep rather than getting up early. I've been watching sunrise every day this year which has meant many consecutive mornings before 5 and even 4 over the summer months when I was walking to get to the sunrise in time too. The hardest part of it all has been tiredness and lack of sleep (although so many beautiful dawn/sunrise experiences too!). I've probably averaged 5-7 hrs sleep a night and I know this is not enough. My challenge next year is to get decent quality sleep and enough of it! 😅😴
