I'm deaf and rely heavily on my body clock to wake up. In the last month, for some reason that I don't understand, I started waking up every day between 4:15am and 4:45am without fail. At first I hated it and stayed in bed trying to go back to sleep. That completely tired me out, so I started just going with it and getting up. The amount of things I get done and how good I feel have completely turned things around for me. I suffer from depression, and lately I have felt so much better! I still feel depressed from time to time, but nowhere near as much as I did. Life has just gotten better for me and I'm going to keep doing it.

[@janesmith3267]

My husband recently became deaf on one side (and he sleeps on the other side) so we are working out how to manage this. So far I just wake up to the alarm then have to wake him. I heard about a mat you put under your sheet and it warms or cools at different times and that wakes you, have you tried it?

[@MrPiikkipallo]

@@janesmith3267 A lot of activity bands have alarm clocks on them that will vibrate on your wrist to wake you up. I'm not deaf, but I like to sleep with ear plugs and don't necessarily wake up to a conventional alarm clock, but that vibrating band on my wrist does wake me up.

[@siaosanna]

@@janesmith3267 You probably already have an answer 6mo later, but my husband is a heavy sleeper and he uses a light alarm. You mount it on the wall by where you sleep and face it towards your face. At the alarm time, the light can come on gradually and get brighter for gentle waking. This usually wakes us up with no sounds necessary :)

My husband's entire family are super early risers and I sleep later than they do, so when I wake up at 9am on weekends, they all make passive-aggressive comments about it. They don't understand the concept of circadian rhythms or understand how anybody else could do it differently unless they're "lazy"

[@spiritconsumer]

430 is pretty early. I get up at 5am (but not on weekends).

[@HurricaneTurtle]

when do you go to bed to manage to get enough sleep?

[@soldierboy425]

I've been waking up at 4:00am for 2 years (for work) all I've taken from it is a crippling addiction to coffee, bags under my eyes, and a 9:00pm bed time, and AND I have to keep this sleep schedule on my weekends or I can't wake up on Monday, bit I'm not bitter.

[@stever507]

Same here

[@geofferypmeyers]

Yep. People say you can “adjust” to a new sleep schedule, but I don’t think we do. You’re not naturally getting tired at 9 and naturally waking up at 4, you’re forcing yourself to. I think we all have a hardwired circadian rhythm that we really can’t change drastically.

[@4xdblack]

People wake up super early for the same reason people stay awake super late. The nightime is the most peaceful, and its *amazing* People choose which method to take depending on when they have the most energy. For me it's at night. Even with a consistent sleep schedule, it takes me a solid hour after waking up just to feel human again.

[@JuancoPRoFlow]

That's facts 💯 I feel the same

[@Vlasko60]

At night I escape the expectations that I feel during the day.

[@killslay]

Getting up super early just means you're going to bed stupid early. "sorry bro I can't hang, I've got to go to bed straight from work"

[@TitanshieldGaming]

YES THIS, I mean who goes to bed at like 9:30pm.... thats insane.

[@dangr123]

The simple question is: what's more fun, getting up early, or staying up late?!

[@joppekim]

I rather want more time in the morning, to shower, eat and watch KZbin before work, than sitting up after 9:30 doing the exact same thing, you are just pushing your time forward a bit so that you know you will have time to get prepared. It also feels good.

[@tinomendoza7045]

My friends make fun of me for leaving a game or declining to hang out late cuz i tell them imma go to sleep early. But i genuinely like waking up at around 6 so thats the only way i can make sure I’ll get plenty of sleep

[@nikoskabbadias]

You just have to face a difficult reality. That work is part of your life. You have to do it good and be proud of it. Because if you don't, you ll need time to recover from it every day, and that will keep you from fulfilling your other duties.

[@LordxDutch]

It is crazy the difference between getting up early for work or for yourself. I've always been a morning person. Not 4:30 early, but I've pretty consistently woken up at 6am my whole life even when I was in high school. Recently I got a new job that requires me to be at work by 7am. I thought "perfect! I already get up at 6, I'll just get up a little earlier" but It's been so tough. I used to enjoy my mornings. Coffee, podcasts, taking my dog on a walk; just me time before my girlfriend or anyone else wakes up. Now that I have to get up and immediately rush out the door, I'm beginning to hate mornings and sleeping in on the weekends! Kinda sad.

[@garnerday7149]

Wake up at 5 am, or even 530. The extra bit is really helpful.

[@Fwhalon]

When I was in middle school, I used to get up at 4:50am so I could play video games before school and I used to have long hair and I'd straighten in the morning so it was taking a shower, straightening my hair, then playing video games or watching Scrubs. When I was 19, the place I was working at I had to start at 4am so I'd be up at 3am for 7 years. I never understand these videos about people waking up "early".

[@emh8861]

Yeah, sucks to get up and go straight to work.

[@MrPiikkipallo]

@@Fwhalon I'm a 3 shift worker, no such thing as "early". Regardless, I always get up at least 1.5 hours before I need to leave to work. I like taking my sweet time in the morning.

Not really, you just have to put in the work. And you need to get up consistently at a given time.

[@CoffeeRoastin]

Yeah, it's more that people need to watch caffeine consumption, exercise, and keep and eye on their diet. A ton of factors go into sleeping well and people don't realize it. Side note, caffeine stays active in your system for up to 8 hours. So if someone is drinking coffee/soda/green or black tea all day, they probably shouldn't be wondering why they're not sleeping. Alcohol also affects sleep. 🙂

[@philipfahy9658]

I've always been raised under the motto, "Get what you least want to do done first in a day, so the day gets better from there." So the whole waking up before my job doesn't work. I mean I still get up at 5 am. The idea of getting up at like 3 to play some games, or read, or something, would suck because then I'm interrupted by work.

[@InsanitiesBrother]

My friend sees it the same way. I like gaming/reading before work because it makes me feel less like a robot. I can enjoy a bit of what I do before work. I guess doing bad things first is good. But it makes my day feel better as a whole. My routine is for me not for my company.

[@philipfahy9658]

@@InsanitiesBrother Yeah, I'm honestly a little jealous. That kind of routine is probably good for self-discipline too. That is, having a set amount of time for you time is good. For me, once it's me time, I want it to be me time until I go to sleep.

[@joppekim]

Well it's not like i'm going to clean the apartment at 5am, thete is not much bad things to do before work, not enough time, i would rather do something i enjoy before work, play video games etc, because that also motivates me to get up in the morning.

[@saraashkir5793]

For me, if I get up earlier in the morning, its actually HARD to just waste that time and play or watch something. I’m personally the most productive between the hours of 10 PM and 9 AM. So I like getting up early as I can do stuff like clean my room, workout, do whatever I dread doing after coming home from work/school. That way I get that stuff done earlier and feel good about it, and have all me time after I come home without the guilt

[@IntrovertedGuitarGuy]

I can't do anything too involved before work because the whole time my brains telling me "you have work soon".

[@birdie4334]

Morning is my favorite time of day. I just wish it started later. 🤔

[@monkiram]

I know this was meant as a joke, but actually, most humans' natural sleep cycle is longer than 24 hours, when sunlight is excluded as a factor. I know mine definitely is, and if the day could actually be longer than 24h so we could be asleep longer and then also be awake for longer, I think I would feel a lot less tired every day!

[@OffPHwnr]

@@monkiram haven't there been studies saying you shouldn't oversleep for longer than like 12 hrs??

[@IndeedIAm]

Sleep varies on personality. I go to sleep at 10 on a Friday sometimes to have my internal alarm wake me up at 6:30. I make coffee and watch the sun rise on the east coast before work. It changes if you use alchohol or drugs, or if you have a mental issue.

[@JackTalyorD]

@@Chimera6297 more like less stress and responsibility at work and less pay would be better, self employed so I only work as much as I need to well until I can get big enough to employee someone full time and then I will earn less but have to do almost fuck all. Funny how that works sometimes.

[@danielyeshe]

Yeah 6 hours should be the length of a work day. When you add travel time it is 8 hours.

[@oldDNU]

If you want to make getting up early easier, I highly recommend a light alarm. Rather than startling you awake with a blaring noise, it gradually wakes you up with a light that gets increasingly brighter over a half hour (mimicking a sunrise). You wake up feeling refreshed instead of like a bus hit you.

[@Scavenger82]

[@MichaelGGarry]

As a father of 2 I have to get up at 6am every weekday morning. IT SUCKS. I am a night owl and its killing me. No matter how early I go to bed, I struggle to sleep. Then I get woken upon by child #2, then back to sleep if I can, then awake at 6 by alarm(s). I feel like shit 90% of the time. The world needs to acknowledge there are at least 3 main groups of people when it comes to sleep, and stop forcing us all to live like bloody early birds.

[@juliajuhasz7679]

I agree. I have one child. He wakes me up between 5:30-6:30. Weekend as well, ofc. I could give my half arm for a wellness weekend, waking up at 10:00 or so and just do what ever I want.

Since shifting most of my work hours til late at night, I have DEFINITELY noticed an overall improvement in my sleep life relative to the fact that I’m generally waking up on MY terms! No exaggeration, I would say that’s top three improvements ever in my adult life. Most pertinent ripple effect? My depression cycles have leveled off to the mildest in over a decade! There are other contributing factors in this, of course, but usually not waking up to an alarm is probably at the top of THAT list! Things to consider 🤷🏼‍♂️😉☺️

I dunno if I told you this before, but when I was a truck driver I liked to go to bed at 5 pm and then get up at 1 am, and that way I could avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Since I've been not a truck driver, I've changed that schedule, of course, but I did have a job for a while where I had to get to work at 5:45, so I usually got up at 3 for that. I was not so much a fan of that, because it's a lot different sleeping at home and going to work in the morning, as opposed to sleeping in the truck where the morning commute is about 1.5 metres from the bed to the driver's seat.

My parents: how would you handle a job if you don't want to wake up early? Me: night time jobs pay way more

[@ChrisRedfield1]

Right?!

[@garrettk7166]

Night jobs are also detrimental for health, as we're meant to sleep during the night. Watch the "Sleep is your Superpower'' TED Talk.

[@InsanitiesBrother]

2 hours before you start getting ready for work. it's so nice.

I'm always that person that says "hey I have 2 more hours!" then "omg I'm already late!"

[@Hyper484]

One of the best part about your videos is watching you dad and mom’s part. Always cracks me up.

[@personal61319]

Few things: Firstly as a stock video contributor myself I really appreciate your usage of stock in your videos! Also (and I've said this before) but these 'new' segments with your parents are absolutely brilliant. I've enjoyed their cameos over the years...and I really LOVE these 'new' segments with them...hilari-fucking-arious (not a typo)

[@qtip6736]

The way I see it is balance. The advantage of getting up early is great. But if you go for too early you start to eat into the relax and social time in the evening. Work and getting stuff done is important but you should never let it take over your life completely.

[@sicklethyst_3140]

I am due to give birth in 6 weeks, and I’ve got to say that getting up at 10am while on maternity leave before I have a screaming child feels *so good* so no thank u

[@WispNL]

Hen_97 Sleep as much as you possibly can these next 6 weeks!

[@madberger]

I love your channel!! I love how you do challenges but include research and make it your own. super funny! keep going

[@trublue2952]

Waking up is not the problem for me, it’s that after two hours after being up, I’m so sleepy.

[@PaladinJoshs]

Great video! I've been getting up early for the last 4 years and I think the most important thing that you didn't touch on is Consistency. The body gets into a rhythm (of the Circadian variety) and will automatically try to wake up at a certain time, Be awake, etc. If your Circadian Rhythm is telling your body to wake up, but you ignore it and go back to sleep your body gets confused and that is why often a sleep-in can make you drowsy for the whole day following. "Wait, i'm meant to be sleeping now? I thought it was morning... Ok then, time to prepare for 8 hours of sleep." My first few weeks were rough but once the Circadian Rhythm adjusted to my schedule it did the job of waking me up! Consistency is important because it lets your body cooperate with your plans, getting the most out of sleep and your mornings, rather than conflicting.

[@misscharlieaurora5772]

Very good point but also one of the reasons your body wakes up "naturally" at that time is to avoid the sharp boost in blood pressure/adrenaline when your alarm goes off. Or to pee.

[@Dracontiar]

Totally agree with the assessment that a steady, intentional sleep schedule makes the difference. Last year I got a steady schedule going as part of my "be less depressed" regimen, and it did wonders! Of course, the schedule was wake up at 10am, go to bed at 2am xD But it was a steady 8 hours, and since I work at home, worked really well for me!

[@SaturatedCat]

Reading these comments made me sad. I never realized people can go to bed and actually sleep at any time they choose. I thought that was an expression. If I go to bed early I'll just stay awake for hours and hours.

[@Dracontiar]

@@SaturatedCat Oh, to be clear, I'm the same way. If I could just pick a time at random, I'd go to bed at the same time as my husband. But that's not gonna happen. xD Having a pretty firm routine helps. I usually have to plan on being in bed at least 45 minutes before getting sleepy. Sometimes 2 hours. And I've kinda Pavlov'd myself into sleepiness with this one crossword app. And then of course, regular wake-up and eating times helps, too. There are definitely still nights I can't sleep until 4am or more. Nothing to do but wait for sheer exhaustion to do its work. But it's more the exception than the rule now, and I'm more functional for it.

I used to watch you back in the days and my account was lost and had to open another one. I spent a whole day trying to figure out your channel name. I found it again!!!!

[@StartSelectProgress]

I wish I hadn't slept (haha!) on your videos so long, they're the perfect mix of self-improvement and comedy/entertainment

[@mcnitt]

Started getting up at 4:30 am several years ago and still do... A former night owl, I liked the quiet of night time so much I decided to start my day with it 😂 And you're right, as long as you get 8 hours of sleep it doesn't matter when. Movie or event worth staying up late for? No problem. I'll sleep in the next day.

[@MissVindicat]

You had me laughing so hard with that intro. Your parents are great.

This inspired me to wake up early this week P.s. your parents have incredible comedic timing

[@alessandrofacciani7209]

What is remarkable about you and your videos is your incredible ability to change your habits.Just this makes you worth of my admiration.I’ve been getting up early for about 3 months now(4:30p.m.)and I can easily tell you that i’m feeling great even though I don’t think I feel this way only because I get up early than before.It’ s a matter of more focus or something.Best regards from Italy 🇮🇹

[@johndough8699]

My gad, dude. You even make sponsorship blurbs entertaining. I usually fast forward through them, but I watched all of your coffee one.

[@kedeeky]

I’ve tried to develop an early morning habit. I was doing well for a while when I actually had something to do to keep myself awake. I enjoy feeling like I have the whole day to do whatever I want, but at the same time I’ve always been a night owl. I’d like to know how long these “omg I wake up early” KZbinrs REALLY stick with it. More waking hours does NOT equate to more productivity. I’m more of the “focus on getting just the right amount of sleep for YOUR body, while making a point to be productive af with the time you’re awake”. INTENTION AND CONSISTENCY ARE THE JAM! Lol

[@v8ali8]

I've always been a night owl because I like feeling like I have the whole night to do whatever I want, and nobody else is up to bother me lol

0:58 The mom just furiously scrolling on her phone is killing me 😄😄

[@MatthewMoranMusic]

I am up between 3:30am and 4:30am every morning - and no kids at home. I've always enjoyed mornings but it got ridiculous when I was writing my first book. I had four children, a small business, and was their coach & hiking partner in the afternoons. That meant, I couldn't really steal time from the afternoon to write. So I'd get up at 4am - coffee already brewing - write from 4:15am to 6:15am and be available for the family as the morning kicked off. And it's stayed that way ever since. I don't set an alarm, I work for myself - from home - but I LOVE getting up at 4:10am (ideally). But mostly whenever. Oh... I go to bed between 7:45pm and 8:30pm. Today I got up at 4:35am and found your newsletter. Morning, coffee, and the Tuesbetter Newsletter. Does life get any better?

[@BluBlanketGrl]

This video was fantastic. Your parents were the best part. You know what was also awesome, the two art pieces you have in the back. Where do I find such amazing works of art to put on my wall?

[@michaelbaessler8982]

Love your videos. A note on sleep: Scientists have determined that our sleep cycles are approximately 90 minutes. I started sleeping in cycles that can be divided evenly by 90 minutes (an hour and a half), and have found that when I follow this pattern I wake up feeling refreshed. Try this in conjunction with waking up at 4:30. Give yourself about a 15 minute buffer to fall asleep. So, for 6 hours of sleep you should be heading to bed around 10:15 pm, etc. Try it, it'll make a difference.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

It varies a bit, but yeah, that's why the snooze button is so evil. Even if you hit it 9 times, you still haven't gotten any quality sleep.

[@fraxizztv6433]

@@SmallSpoonBrigade snoozing is a stupid concept. Just stick to a set time and if you still need to snooze/oversleep, you simply need more time to sleep.

[@pvtpain66k]

"How nice would it be... but I'm not gonna start tomorrow." That's some mighty fine realism there, Chyna.

That sums up how I feel precisely. It seems nice, once I'm up, I mostly like it. But getting up early and going to bed early is so so agonizing for me.

[@gorrumKnight]

A big wrinkle here is differences in circadian rhythm, for some of us this won't work even if we wanted. No matter how often I got up early (former military parents & school starting early), I hated it as a kid. Even trying to work around my work schedule, I am at my worst during the AM hours. When I can sleep on my terms (sleep from about 2-3AM til 10-11AM), I feel the absolute best rested & like I can get more done efficiently. I feel like my diet has gone further in mitigating working awful morning and midday hours than anything else.

[@sketchur]

That's me as well, and I'm 31. I've been working an 8am-5pm job for over 5 years, and figured it would set me straight to "normal," but it still feels naturally WRONG. I've been diagnosed with delayed sleep disorder or something - delayed something or other disorder - and I wish I could do my job on my own schedule. It's good money. But I think it's killing me in the sense that it's like asking a "normal" person to work a graveyard shift 5 days a week for 5+ years. Normal folks don't function their best during that time. That's when I feel most alive, though.
