My 4am morning routine

[I just wanted to point out that this video went live at 4am 🤣]
▪️
I start most of my mornings at ~4am. I find that this is the best way for me to start the day to be productive and overall for my well-being. I think for a while I was in denial about being a morning person, but once I became an anesthesiologist, it became clear that my days were just so much better when I started them early.

My 4am morning routine looks like this:
- Wake up alarm [amzn.to/3xcwLn5] coerces me out of bed
- I immediately make myself an americano [Using my Nespresso machine: amzn.to/3xaOew... these Starbucks Blonde roast Nespresso pods amzn.to/43JyiwX]
- I keep my Duolingo streak going
- I exercise
- I go to work

Another study with me would be pretty cool

Great video. I think the difficulty is integrating this into a family routine. How would you manage an early start with a partner who is up later? What time do you go to bed? How do you still have a social life with such early mornings

MS-2 here. What made you choose anesthesiology residency over internal medicine residency when it comes to the critical care route? Awesome videos!

Thanks for watching!! This is such a good question - I think it’s so important when you shadow and go into rotations asking yourself if you see yourself doing what the attendings in that specialty are doing. I personally did not enjoy the clinic setting so internal medicine + pulmonology/critical care would have been a challenging training process for me. I’m more interested in the hospital setting rather than outpatient- I feel more at home in the hospital. So ask yourself which settings you’d like to practice in!

Hello, are you an anaesthesiologist and do you live in the United States of America?
