[@ironside915]

Without watching (I promise), I suggest: - Having a valid reason to wake up - Going to bed and falling asleep early and without screen light - Leave an alarm far from hands’ reach - Having a plan for the morning - Eating well is a must! - Being consistent. It takes about a week or two to get used to it. That’s what worked for me and I’ve been lifting weights at 6am for quite some time now. I prefer working out in the morning because the gyms are way too crowded in the evening. Good luck!

[@stealthyink7262]

My reason for waking up is to drink coffee.

[@CitizenTheory]

I agree with almost all of that. I've recently been getting into a morning routine and these things, except "Eating well" have been a part of its success. I personally don't have breakfast, haven't since college, and I've not been the worse for wear for it. I know a lot of people who practice intermittent fasting w/ great success. Good point for some though, and like I said, solid list!

I don't have any reason to wake up

[@julia.no.X]

[@SkizVids]

honestly, the main points are your first and last point, have a reason, and consistency. I joined a 20 week martial arts program that had me getting up at 5am to get to the place by 6am, also if we were late or absent for too many days we wouldnt be allowed to compete, so that gave us a reason to wake up. also after about 2 weeks of making sure i only had 1 alarm, i found that when i woke to my alarm, it would be very quick for me to wake up without any groggy feelings. Once i finished the program and didnt have a reason to wake up anymore, i now feel the groggy effects of under or oversleeping

[@xxbrianjoelxx]

waking up early is easy, going to bed early is the hard part

[@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892]

It's basically a matter of priorities. IF your evenings are actually exiting (socially e.g.), personally I wouldn't recommend to skip them. Yet, if we just hang around (and most of us do), then it boils down to rhythm or codependency, when you're up early, you won't have a problem with going to bed "early".

[@gxdxh6252]

I disagree. Waking up early is hard af, meanwhile going to bed is easier, if you are disciplined enough

[@Rionaran]

@@gxdxh6252 I can go to bed early. But I will be laying there for hours before I finally fall asleep.

[@gxdxh6252]

@@Rionaran ok good point but i believe waking up early is just as hard because you're body is so tired and badly wants to sleep a few more hours, even though you have to get up for work/school. It feels like you're body has not been fully charged and because of that you are not ready to get up. I consider both waking up and going to sleep early a very hard thing to do.

As long as you set the first alarm for 3am :P

[@missshannonsunshine]

NO I used to do that. I like to have an Alexa and a reminder that I take too long to get ready and I need food or something that brings logic to my sleepy brain. When I am tired NOTHING else matters ex my life.. maybe Edit: when you hit snooze too much too early you can’t get restful sleep in between and you can easily think you have another snooze when you don’t or you hit stop thinking you’ll get up and you don’t. It’s best to just say you have to sit on the toilet and hope the lights wake you up

[@ahmadalalwani5176]

I think I'm one of the lucky ones who rarely hit the snooze button.

Ships don't sink because water is around them, but because water gets inside them. Don't let what's happening around you influence or weigh you down.

[@juliahart8593]

Usually, though, ships have holes, and you can't exactly tell a ship to stop taking in water when it has one. So you can't tell people not to let their outside world affect them. They could be hungry, tired, frazzled, or even disenchanted at life. These are their "holes".

[@julia.no.X]

Nice metaphor!

[@julia.no.X]

@@juliahart8593 Yes, you can tell people, because unlike ships people are able to become aware of their holes and take actions. They can eat if they're hungry, rest if they are tired, re-centre and find ways to fall in love with life again.

[@ashwinbhat95]

One simple reason you should prefer a morning routine over an evening routine is the ‘power’ you have at each of those times. The morning time is your time, there are typically very few things that can surprise or distract you. In the evening, your mood and energy level will completely depend on how your day went. This is particularly true for a 9-5 job, since a bad or busy day at the office can easily affect your evening plans. I think it makes sense to do the most important stuff in the morning, and get it out of the way. Now you can breathe easy and be confident that the most important stuff is out of the way regardless of how your day goes.

Again, thank you very much.

[@nialloreilly702]

I wish I could combine my 2 alarm apps. One will wake me up in light stages of sleep (Sleep Cycle) so I'll be well rested, and the other will make sure I get out of bed by making me take a picture of something in my house(Alarmy). It's so annoying that Sleep Cycle doesn't have the picture thing for turning off alarms. It would be the perfect alarm for me otherwise

[@Thomasfrank]

On the bright side, having to switch between two apps just means you have to spend a bit more time dealing with your alarms!

How to get water, sunlight & movement right after the alarm? 1. Place an air pressure piston under one side of your bed and combine it with a timer 2. On the other side of the bed, fill a pool with water and place it right next to it 3. install a construction side spotlight, point it to the pool, and connect it to the timer You're done! Oh... and 4.: If you need social media content, you can also install a webcam and feed your users with the weirdest wake-up faces every morning! Thanks for your inspiring content Thomas! :-)

[@barbarastclair9429]

I found your information both helpful and informative. I'm up very early , most mornings before 5am. I work from home. I am an upholstered. Because I work from home I find home and work compete for my time, energy and focus. So my morning routine helps me get more done in the upholstery room. What helps get me out of bed is knowing that the more time I have to work before 9am is more time without interruptions. No one is going to call or stop by. Any errands I need to make have to wait until the stores open up. So I put on the Bluetooth headphones and listen to something upbeat or motivational ( my fun thing in the morning routine) and get to work. Oh and quick note the headphones idea was one I got from you- THANK YOU for that it has been a game changer as well. Keep the great videos coming and thank you again

[@yousefmajednayef1987]

getting up early for me depends on how i slept the night before and that depends on whether i walked for at least 15 minutes or not, if not it would take me hours to sleep (i always have sleeping problems) but i hope i’ll find a way to be motivated to wake up early. Thank u for the video!🌺❤️

[@Vanlife_With_Miss_V]

Hi Thomas, for me, I go to bed at a reasonable time, usually around 11pm, having had a busy and physical day, and then I have some time chatting with friends before I sleep, so no technology at all before bed for at least 3 or 4 hours. I leave my curtains open so I wake to natural light, I don't eat in the morning, and I only drink water all day, so no caffeine to mess with my sleep patterns, then I eat only lunch and dinner, I never use an alarm to wake up, I give myself a few minutes to come round then I listen to stoic philosophy in the shower to ground me, I listen to rock music while I get dressed to get me pumped, then I get on with my day. I think the key for me is no stress, I know when I do have a stressful day I have difficulty sleeping therefore difficulty waking up. Thank you for the video, there's some great info there, I hope you and your family have a wonderful week ahead, take care n I look forward to the next one♥️

[@PattyBlogs]

I set 2 alarms, one on my phone next to me and a second one I put in the bathroom which forces me to get up and turn them both off. By the time I’m off the bed I don’t really want to go back. This has been the most effective method for me to get rid of the snooze button

Scientific explanation of the relation between water and waking up: Food has one of the biggest impacts on the circadian rhythm!! That doesn't mean you should eat immediately after getting up, in fact you should wait a minimum of an our before really taking some food in, because your intestinal tract needs to "get up" as well, but water is fine, and gives a signal to your brain, that food will be coming soon into your body und that your obviously not sleeping anymore. I don't have a link or study for that, but that's what I learned at medical school from a talk with a group doing research on the circadian rhythm of the human body. Thanks for reading :)

Fantastic advice! I take street photos and find the early morning to be the most calming time of day, you get to watch the world wake up around you. Requires movement and I get to enjoy the sunlight and have my morning iced coffee as I get ready to head out. I will say I’m the most productive from around 10am to 3pm, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I have to make calls and work on projects when clients are available. Great video as always!

There's something special about being in a city and getting to watch it wake up. I live a bit too far away from downtown to get to see that, but I remember traveling through Japan a few years ago and really enjoying going for 5am walks through Kyoto (time zones made waking up at that time easy).

[@ibrahimchikhi7603]

here is some of my tips for waking up early : 1. DON'T EAT BEFORE GOING TO BED 1. Obviously go to bed early 2. When you go to bed, try to sleep in the darkest and quietest place possible and lower the temperature of your room between 12C° to 15 C° 3. Let your curtain open and set up your room to a warm temperature. You will be naturally waked up by daylight and by the heat 4. Use an app that can track your sleep cycle and wake you up in the right moment. 5. Apply all the tips you saw in the video

Couple of things I do apart from the above: 1. Put away all screens at least 45min before bed. I read on a kindle or a paper book till I fall asleep. 2. Use an alarm tone that's not blaring and instead has a smooth ramp up. This way I'm not shocked into waking up and I feel much better.

FINALLY! Somebody who thinks like me! Thank you, Thomas! I actually used to be a lot more productive in high school because I used to think exactly the same, even before I came across your channel. However, due to people forcing their views on me and the change of schedule by going to college, I have found that I have lost all my good habits and am struggling to get back to them, it's so pathetic that I am using my past self as a role model because my current self can't get much done anymore. I am slowly getting back, but it is a struggle.

One of the best tips iv ever received came from a girl that studied at Cambridge. She said something like "you're only gonna go back to sleep if you don't get up of your bed".

one tip I have to be able to wake up right away all the time is working on a commercial crab fishing boat for 7 years. This has been a huge asset in my ability to wake up early with no problems and never hitting snooze.

This channel should getting more subscribers and viewers.

Simpler answer is, do what YOU want to do, not what society tells you. Then each morning you'll wake up ENERGETIC, because you have something that you reaaaaallly want to accomplish, pursue on, a dream to make reality.

Going to bed early, and have a great relaxation rotine for the night helps me a lot tô have a great morning

[@ovidiuNa]

Something that worked for me beyond my wildest dreams: Morning Pages. In her book The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron recommends writing for a half hour right after you roll out of bed. I tried this a couple of times and had trouble seeing the point, until the light bulb finally turned on: the point is to just pour anything you want on to the page, and never have to worry about anyone reading it. No censor, no judgement, just output. I really struggled with writing much of anything and most of the time I just journal my previous day, but I've really come to enjoy it. I started a year ago this week and I've only missed four days. I enjoy it enough that it really helps me look forward to getting out of bed.

I think you should make a video on how you got to be so eloquent! 👏

Excellent advice! I've done most & have experienced positive results. Water 1st in the morning is a must for anyone that is human. Sunlight, there is no greater way to feel uplifted & energetic, even if you work the night shift, it is a must for Vit D, better sleep (vit d production occurs w/exposure to light allowing melatonin to be released when the sun goes down) & COVID. We are creatures of motion & when our mobility is limited so is our health. As an ER/Trauma RN the greatest factor of someone's diminishing health is their lack or inability to be mobile. Another factor is the 1st meal of the day which you lightly touched on but only showed on video when you were making your own breakfast. Many times nurses would complain about how hungry & low energy they felt after eating a refined carb-loaded breakfast. I would suggest eating a breakfast of protein & fat, like eggs & bacon in your video. And w/o fail each & every time the nurses would return to comment on how much better they felt. They didn't start to lose energy as their blood sugar dropped w/a carb breakfast & they were able to go to lunch w/o snacking. The most important piece of advice is that we are all different & we must try/experiment/evaluate/assess what is best for us. I've watched many videos about improving one's health & Thomas's suggestions are worth trying. Thanks

I always wake up at 6 without feeling tired it’s weird

[@mi.ni.mo.ny.]

The information about sunlight was very interesting to me and that is why I will say what I know about water (scientifically). Eastern healers claim that a glass of water (it is recommended to warm, not cold) in the morning on an empty stomach wakes up our body and activates the processes in it. Thus, the day, not only for our consciousness, but also for our body, can already begin. If it is warm or at room temperature, it does not cause stress (like cold water), helps detoxify, activates peristalsis and regulates excess weight. My grandmother is a super big fan of Japanese philosophies and wisdom and she regularly provides me with information. For me, washing my face also helps me a lot. It's as if I'm super asleep when I go into the bathroom, but when I go out I'm a different person - my boyfriend tells me regularly. Thanks for the interesting videos you make.

I procrastinate waking up till I have 10 minutes to get ready and go to the bus and the stress really make me feel awake for like an hour

On the subject of useful movement, Paris has been completely transformed into a biking city. Exciting to see that.

[@oOcitizenOo]

Look at how popular Thomas's become! I remember when this channel had less than 100k subs and there are more than 2 mln subs. Great job,man!)

[@Deanie_o]

Useful movement is the a really powerful addition to my day. Found this out on my study abroad where I walked to school and back every morning and afternoon for 30 mins each. It transformed my mood and energy throughout the day, made me sleep way earlier as I was tired and helped me stay active consistently.

[@piyushagarwal5212]

So long 😭 we waited for video like this.
