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

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’ve always liked the idea of getting up early, but I always failed and went back to oversleeping getting up at the last minute. This year I have managed to get into a routine where I wake at 6AM every single day. I am really happy with this.

[@sarahmalek1405]

Can you tell us how ?

[@RevJamesCostello]

​@@sarahmalek1405 Firstly you have to tell yourself that you will get up at a certain time, every single day. You must tell yourself that this is what you do. Get up at 6AM even if you went to bed after midnight. When you get up, pull back the blanket and make the bed. Put your phone, charger, power bank, bag, keys, pens and whatever else on the end of the bed so you are not able to easily climb back in. Open the window wide so the cold air fills the room. Go into the bathroom, brush your teeth and wet your face. Put on your training gear and head out for a run. It doesn’t have to be long, but something that gets you breathing heavily. When you return home, open the windows, put the kettle on and make a cup of whatever you like. I make a cup of decaf tea or coffee. While it brews, do press-ups (or other body weight exercise). In between sets of press-ups, recite positive affirmations. Mine: 'I like myself,’ ‘I am responsible,’ ‘I can do it,’ ‘I am the best.’ I repeat each one 25 times. So 100 affirmations. After drinking my tea, I get a shave (several times a week), then jump in the shower. Once clean, I turn the shower to cold. I stand under the shower for a minute or two, making sure the cold water runs down my back. Once dressed, I make breakfast, which could be gruel, pancakes, bacon, omelette or fruit. Whatever I feel like. I then do whatever tasks I need to do, or simply read and relax. The window in my room (or ‘office’ as I call it) stays wide open until at least 9AM. I then have one can of energy drink. I don’t recommend this if you don’t already drink them, as it’s not a good habit. That will be it for the day as far as caffeinated drinks. If one were to have such a drink, make sure you do not consume it after 2PM. After work, dinner, gym, family time, down time and what not, I am pretty much done by 9PM. I try to head to bed before 10PM. It is best to make a rule to be in bed for 10 o’clock. Close your eyes and make a point of not opening them or moving until it is time to get up. When 6 o’clock comes, the whole cycle repeats again. ‘It’s what I do.’

As a 62 year old semi retired guy with no work due to COVID-19 I’ve been staying up until approximately 2:00 AM and waking up at 10AM. I’ve always been an early riser arriving at my job at 8:00 AM for many years. I now find the late night hours to be so peaceful and quiet.especially during the winter months.I still manage to be productive and always have a list of things to do. I’m hoping to return to part time work very soon and will change my schedule once weather changes and life resumes. As mentioned in this video it’s so important to get 8 hours of sleep to allow your body to reset and heal.

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 :)

Ik that waking up at 5 am isn’t for everyone but ima share my mourning routine here for anyone that cares. I’m still a student btw. So recently, I have been waking up at 5:00 am, making my bed, and going to the bathroom for a cold shower. Then I’ll get dressed and brush my teeth. 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

This is the most realistic and refreshing video about waking up at 5 am I have seen on youtube. Sure, there are people who have been doing it for years and wake up even earlier than that because they have to go to work or school. But if you work from home or a regular job that starts at 8 or 9, you don't have to wake up so early unless you want to. And the reality is that it is really hard and you sacrifice a lot because you have to go to bed so early. It is great to see a video that finally shows how this works or doesn't work in real life rather than the usual KZbin propaganda for waking up early that we have seen so many times. Thanks Matt!

[@ItsAsparageese]

I love mornings when I can stick to them a little bit, but I also get so inspired and revved up at night. It's messing with me terribly and in three-plus decades I've never really had a consistent sleep schedule. I WANT to be a morning person, and I can be, but it doesn't shut off the part of me that also wants to be a night person and then I just don't get enough sleep and it all gets out of whack. We need special speed-rest hypersleep chambers that let us get a good long sleep according to our body's needs, all condensed in a few minutes. :P

[@Skovorodnikof]

@@ItsAsparageese AFAIK you can't be both a morning bird and a night owl at the same time and it's genetics. Also if you haven't heard that there's such a thing called "polyphasic sleep" where you divide your sleep throughout the day.
