I’m naturally a night owl and have been doing this for three years(due to having kids) and I’m STILL a night owl. If I slip up just once, I’m screwed and have to start all over.
Same. I've also noticed my creativity is only on fire at night, so when I'm running on an early morning routine I become a different person and lose most of my creative hobbies. So weird.
Another thing is if you're hungry when it's really late, DON'T EAT. Let yourself starve. I'm not kidding. You're teaching your body when is the time to eat and when is the time to sleep. If you eat, you're teaching your body to stay up at the wrong time.
What Jordan Peterson said was MASSIVE help, eat large protein packed meal every morning. This was life changing for me. I starved myself for 2 days and skipped a lot of sleep on the third night I was so tired I slept early woke up ate a steak and some eggs, did that for a week and after that it was history
Hmmm... hinestly, since "I was born", I have had to struggle with this. Even though I get every day up between 6 and 7, I can't fall asleep in the evening, so I am constantly sleepy all day long but have to get up early again. This means, I can't fall asleep before 12 or 1 at night. As soon as I don't have to get up early, I love to sleep more. And it is very hard to be all your life groggy and just waiting to fall into your bed, but when it's time, you feel the most wake, on full battery mode. So I would not fully agree with this one. Since I am like 13 as I remember, this is a daily fight for me. And no, 5 to 6 hours is not enough sleep for me. And naturally to go sleep late, get up late, means your natural biorhythm is like that and it is not that easy to switch that. It is very hard work. Every day.
@@Blub9769 I'd recommend it. just be cautious with dosages because most supplements have way too much in them. you only really need about 1mg when you take them so avoid any 10mg pills. it's really helpful for resetting your circadian rhythm when you are jet lagged, so I think it could be useful for people who just don't feel tired until late. take it about 30 minutes - 1 hour before you want to go to bed. also, try blue light glasses and avoid technology for as long as you can before bed. dim the lights in your house as well.
We need people like mr Humerman on the internet , twitter , fb , insta and everywhere....who can change peoples life for better .....thank you Mr Huberman ...
Hearing this as a night owl: If you don't like the time you have to wake up, then gradually build yourself up to shittier and shittier conditions until you're used to it.
This is also known as Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. For many people, sleep procrastination may be a response to extended work hours that, if combined with a full night's sleep, leave virtually no time for entertainment or relaxation. Stay safe, and stay well. The colloquial term “revenge sleep procrastination” is relatively new, but the concept is something sleep experts are familiar with (though it's worth pointing out it's not a sleep disorder or any type of clinical diagnosis).
@@imnotmarthastewart8120 I’m getting a full 8-9 hours of sleep, and I purposely take night classes and work 2nd because I like being up at night. I’m not procrastinating sleep to watch Netflix.
Natural night owl. I've done that routine or similar ones throughout my life ( I'm 65 yrs)- Having kids, jobs, ect... no choice but to be with with the early bird crowd to be a functioning member of society, but it takes a lot of effort to sustain. My body would always eventually reset to night owl.
Legit just dealing with this right now. I've been working for myself forever but now switched to a sweet job. The shifting of my schedule has been rough. The eating bit has been particularly annoying. Eating in the morning dosent mix with me
It's only introverts and night owls who catch all the shit. Wonder why No one tells extroverts to calm down and be less social, or morning people to stay up later and sleep in longer.
High energy extraverts are more likely to have large, confident mouths, so they're going to send a larger volume of shit out of them (on average), perhaps.
As a night owl I accomplish most of me mental abilities in these hours. When I visit morning friends and they're lagging at 8pm. I tell them its okay, I'll be up til 2am working on my computer that schedule works better for me anyways. Then they give me this grumpy look like they wish they could leave the 9 to 5 and work for themselves.
@@melfredolf It doesnt matter what schedule you put yourself on, your job will get in the way of you accomplishing anything for yourself unless you make your own schedule. Fuck the local schedule. If you dont set your own hours you're missing opportunity to do the most productive thing you can at any given time. You dont get to the bank, you dont get to the store, you miss out on time with friends and family - because some rich fucking asshole says you have to - that makes you a slave. Set your own schedule, demand it from you boss, or look for a job that will accomodate you. Nothing will fuck your life more than not being able to schedule for YOUR needs.
I work closing shift at a resturant. I don't get home till 130 in the morning. My wife works morning shift for her job. It works just fine. Wish we could see each other more but it is what it is
An even more OP strategy, pull an all-nighter and then you can fall asleep at whatever time you wish the following evening. Used to do it all the time during the school years.
Nothing works. Just run a massive sleep deficit until your mind and body fails. Then resort to just not sleeping for a whole cycle so you are utterly exhausted and pass out when day walkers normally do. That works for about a week then you get right back to only sleeping 4 hours a night or less until you sleep thru another alarm and get in trouble at work again. 😆
@@CanadianFH no. Discipline is still getting out of bed even if you do lay there awake all night, cause guess what buddy.. you will sleep properly the next night, you just dont give up on waking at the same time everyday and it sorts itself out withen 2 months. Yet you dont have the discipline to stick at the same wakeup time for 60days its so dam simple lol Im someone whos been through it and come out the other side so i would just listen if i was you, it will do you some good. But no you just stay up late and sleep in and argue with people on youtube comments giving life changing advice.
So discipline is now the ability to do things while unconscious. Because after 2-4 weeks of sleep deprivation, that sleep isnt interrupted by anything short of violence.
@@CanadianFH oh dear your too far gone. Im not talking down the insomnia route (was me for 7yrs). No no you have gone to far down the lost control of your mind route. Goodluck bud. I would suggest trying the marine core to znap that millennial thinking out of your mind, or atleast a life devoted to discipline. Maybe itz to late for you though maybe you will continue to not exercise, eat healthy, meditate, love family and friends, achive greatness, wake up at same time everyday, ice bath, sauna, stretch, take your vitamins and minerals, set challenges for yourself, achive goals, help people. Because if your trying to sleep without doing any of that you will easily hit issues.
As someone who is a night owl but has turned my sleep schedule around: Melatonin. Now it can have side effects so don't take it like it's a mere supplement. But it helps tell your brain that now is the time to go to sleep and makes you tired. After a couple of days you automatically get tired around that time and you can stop taking it again
If you are a night owl and like being a night owl, may I suggest that you change careers to accommodate your natural night owl-ness. If your wake/sleep rhythm is different from your partner I'm sure you have no desire to change your rhythm anymore than they do.
I had to cut my work hours. I only work 6 hrs a day because I go to sleep at 1am and wake up at 10am and my regular schedule was at 10am now I go in at 12pm. I feel so much better.
I find the complete opposite works for me 1. Have something you NEED to do early. 2. Set all the alarms. Sound / light alarms whatever works. 3. Get up earlier than you think it's easier to get up 5/6 am than 7/10am 4. Getting up that early you will get tired earlier and the cycle continues.
I was born at 3pm, I has never been an early bird, going to school, when I was a kid was tough, I used to sway all the time diring the class fighting in order not to fall asleep, sometimes I did and was awaken by the teacher who hit the book hard on my table in order to wake me up, after that I was transferred to study in the afternoon time shift
This is what they do to us on film sets to pull us out of night shoots to day shoots and it never works painlessly, every day is out of sync and a horror
I always found if you want to fix your sleeping schedule, stay up all night, all the next morning, until an early hour the next night. You'll sleep soundly, but if you're prone to physical / medical anxiety it can really make your anxiety worse.
Imagine not being able to sleep unless you've had a satisfying meal right before bedtime, even if you've had a large all-you-can-eat meal a few hours prior 😅
People who are like that do well with shift work. As a nurse that is more oriented toward getting up early I know that night shift people are badly needed. I suppose that is true for police as well.
Going to bed early doesn't work at all. What i do is stay up for 24 to 48 hours then go to bed at the knew time. Or get up at the new time and ill start to get tired around the 8 hour mark the night before.
Fun fact: genetics play a role in determining if you're a morning or night person. But sometimes you can be heterozygous for the trait and have the ability to choose to be a morning or night person with ease. I'm actually one of these people and it is pretty easy to become a morning or night person. 10/10 very nice.
Watching nobody in the site complet darnkess cool fresh air looking at my red digital clock listening to some music no lyrics just beats. Then i wander off in a different dimension. Edit: No drugs
I'm what some might call already an early riser, I get up at 6 AM most mornings, sometimes 5 AM or 5:30 AM. I tried getting up at 2 AM every morning, two weeks of that and I couldn't take it anymore. So I went back to a 6 AM wakeup time. Maybe 2 AM was overkill?
This is to get into the morning cycle. After you're in the cycle, science(also he in another vid) doesn't recommend to eat or drink anything first thing in the morning(first hour). Maybe water is fine but nothing else. Stay healthy!
@@aeojoe not true. And how do you know that's what we're doing? Should I sit here and guess what you're doing in your waking hours just because they're during the day..how silly would that be. Also, most every person nowadays is on their phone as soon as they open their eyes..IN THE MORNING -- how is that any better than being on your phone at night. And not for nothing, but I'm often cooking, doing grocery shopping, working, laundry..etc.; all the things you do in "normal hours' we're doing when you're sleeping. Or the best part, just enjoying the quiet and stillness of the night.. which is imperative for most of us... much like morning sun and quietitude is good for morning people's well-being. We're simply living our lives on the other side of the clock. We just get a lot of shit for it for some reason.
When my overbearing family is asleep, I finally get control over the household and my life in it, for those few hours I extend into the wee hours of the morning. It’s the only respite some of us get.
Honestly I tried. It doesn't work. I mean you can stand up early and go to bed early, like you can make that happen but it never will be easy. It's always an effort to maintain the earlybird when you are a night owl. I tryed my whole 20ties to be an early bird but now I accepted that I am an night owl and that thats ok. I am not a failure for sleeping till 10 every day and go to bed at 1-2. It's ok. It's just my natural rythm. There is no reason to have a rythmn that is hard to maintain. Do what makes you happy😊
You put it perfectly "it doesnt work" " well i mean you can but its not easy". You have a terrible mindset that life is ment to be easy. That thinking always ends up in one place - depression. Be careful.
Well yeah what kinda life we will be Living if you constantly have to think about even the most basic functions. Remembering when to sleep, when to wake up, how to make yourself sleepy early. Like when are we gonna live life. 😅
evolutionary speaking night owls and morning persons are absolutely crucial to maintaining the safety of the tribe. if everyone is a morning person, no one can stay up late and guard for the night.
Getting up at 6 am is torture. I’m not really me that early in the morning, it’s at night time when I’m creative and when I get my best ideas and projects. That’s just the way I am!
@@brayanvacostathis is something that only people who don’t know what it’s like to be a night owl say. I had to get up early every single day for months for work, I went to bed early and got enough sleep every day. And yet, I’d still feel nauseas and sick when getting up early. I can go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 9am no problem (7 hours of sleep) but if I go to sleep at 9pm and get up at 4am (still 7 hours) I feel like dying.
@@jordanwiley1283 every single time? u gotta change jobs. that job is making u feel sucky cause u wake up feeling like that knowing u had to go to work that morning.
It's the only time I can have time to myself in a quiet environment my family drive me crazy I think it's better for my health and wellbeing sleeping late than it is vice versa
And it doesn't work. I used to have a job where I had to get up at 4:30 am. I went to bed early and woke up at 4:30 for an entire year and I didn't enjoy it one time. When I changed jobs, I was a night owl again within two days.
Same here. I can get up at 4 to 5 am every morning if I had to. Ill be exhausted in the afternoon, but the second the sun goes down Ill get a second wind and Ill be wide awake.
I firmly believe some people are wired to be nocturnal just like some people are wired to be gay or wired to be a psycho. Just different wiring. You can't deny that humans need sunlight to thrive tho.
@@krnseu5073 Um no. People are genetically predisposed to psychopathy. Not all psychopaths are violent. Generally the violent ones are the perfect storm of a genetic predisposition and traumatic events in life.
Yeah you can do this for a while and train yourself to change your ways but, in my experience I realized I’m at home and mentally clear at night, it doesn’t change! Meanwhile all my family is waking up really early because they feel mentally clear then; that’s actually their motivation to wake up.
Would you say this maybe Revenge Bedtime Procrastination? sleep procrastination may be a response to extended work hours that, if combined with a full night's sleep, leave virtually no time for entertainment or relaxation.
What you described has been my entire life, as an infant till now (I'm in my 30s). Nothing works. I'll only eat dinner to help reset, and nothing after trying to switch my hours. The special lights helped but not consistently. I went to a sleep specialist and he asked if I get jetlag- I said, "no." After a test he said I have no circadian rhythm. 🫠
I tried this, after a month of sleep deprivation (i still couldn’t get to sleep earlier) I had a mental breakdown and other medical problems. But sure, “quick and painless” 😂
The mental side effects of weeks or months of terrible sleep is so underated. If you complain people act like you're just being extra and overdramatic but the mental space from intense insomnia can be hell
I have actually been able to learn to fall asleep early, but my quality if sleep is piss poor. Now when I go to bed at 2am and sleep til 9am, I wake up refreshed and ready to climb mountains.
This 100% works I went from going bed at 3am and getting up at 7 for work etc to going bed at 9pm and waking up at 5am with no alarm. Took a few months but now I literally don’t set alarms at all
let me just say something rude to you ‘early birds’. i’ve been told all the childhood and youth that i’m lazy and i need to wake up, eat early in the morning, see the sun… that’s bullsht. after years of betraying my own body and it only getting worse, i don’t believe you anymore. i just don’t. because i did something for myself that i was afraid to do such a long time. i embraced being late night person. i STUDIED my own behaviour. i really do work better after hours (around 7-11 pm). i do focus better. i hate early breakfasts. and tbh, i just love the ambiance of the night. it is much more calm. it is peaceful. i respect early sleepers - when they fall asleep, i don’t make much noise. i stay silent af. but they don’t respect me at all. i usually wake up around 11, which i consider really okay for someone like me. but damn, do they be noise pollutioning me. im tired of this. i don’t believe you or anyone at that state. i am really comfortable at that state and i’m studying for a not fixed schedule job. yes, i will find my inner peace eventually. stop telling us night owls otherwise. stop forcing all the people to be ‘right’. this pressure almost seems to me like forceful right-handed kids’ education in 20th century. that’s concerning. and to my night owls - never be ashamed of what you are. acknowledge your strength and your rights to be undisturbed of your biological need - healthy sleep, that suits your own body. (and also - i suggest that early bird partners need to respect their night owls. or the relationship is long gone. until one of you is fed up and pissed off and you won’t be able to fix this with a talk)
Ah yes it's that simple. Tell that to my husband who is more of a 'stay up until 9 AM' kind of night owl. I would kill for someone who went to bed by 2 :'(
I’d love to be able to go to sleep at 2am. That would perfectly suit my 10am start. I can’t remember the last time I felt ready to sleep before 4am and I usually stay up till after 5. Monday mornings fuuucking suck.
It has EVERYTHING to do with the time you are waking up!!! I guarantee, like extremely garantee that if for 30days you got out of bed and started your day at 7am, your body clock will swing around. But heres the thing. Uou wont stay consistent. You are not disciplined and your going to end up sleeping in again on those nights you struggled to sleep early enough. Your making excuses. Enjoy your mediocre life
@@e.m7110 I've done what is advised in this video for about 4 times the length time you suggest, getting up at 7am, & going to bed at 11, so it obviously doesn't work for everyone, despite your "guarantee".. Also.. A mediocre life is far better than your bitter, sad, little existence.. I almost feel sorry for you.. Almost..
He just said to eat when you're not hungry in the morning. He also says in another short not to eat the first 60 Minutes you're awake. So, eat, but wait an hour.
This extroverted world never understands 😑 it’s not just about sleep cycle, it’s about brain activity. Naturally, our brain is more active during the night, and thus, more creative. The work that I can get done perfectly in one hour at night, I do it in five hours during day time and it’s not even close to being as good! I have been experimenting with this my whole life. I, too, would love to be able to do as good of a job during the day as so many other people, but it’s just not possible. My brain is just dead during day time. Dead, I tell you 😂😭
What's fucked is that if I'm naturally more inclined to sleep late, it is I who has to change. Why? Why do we have such arbitrary rules about when it's good to be awake or asleep??
🤣 absolute load of crap. The reason we are night owls isn't because of our sleep schedule. Our sleep schedule is because we are night owls. What we are just going to switch our sleep up and magically not like the peace that only comes when the rest of the world is asleep. I hate it when people who have never been there think they have the magical solution.
It does not work man! i have been a night owl since i was a baby. I struggle with this and half manage during the week but the moment Friday night hits, i go back to my normal even if i am dead tired.
There is less nervous energy in the atmosphere at night. People are not hurrying about trying to get to wage slave jobs. 2am-dawn is the most peaceful time of day. Falling asleep as the sun rises is awesome
OOOOH JUST GO TO BED EARLIER AND WAKE UP EARLIER WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? Oh btw, what do I do about the fact that I can stare at the ceiling for 3 hours or wake up at 3 am unable to fall asleep, and be so tired at 8 am I want to take my own life?
I’m naturally a night owl and have been doing this for three years(due to having kids) and I’m STILL a night owl. If I slip up just once, I’m screwed and have to start all over.

This is what they do to us on film sets to pull us out of night shoots to day shoots and it never works painlessly, every day is out of sync and a horror
I always found if you want to fix your sleeping schedule, stay up all night, all the next morning, until an early hour the next night. You'll sleep soundly, but if you're prone to physical / medical anxiety it can really make your anxiety worse.
Not everyone needs 8 hours of sleep, some of us can run off 5 hours!
I stay up till 7am usually get up around 3pm for work and only eat once a day when I finish work 😂
Doesn't change the fact that I prefer the night
Imagine not being able to sleep unless you've had a satisfying meal right before bedtime, even if you've had a large all-you-can-eat meal a few hours prior 😅
This is due to the fact your ancestors were hunters and the more they didn't eat the more alert they became to help assist with hetter hunting
I've kept doing this,
Now I go sleep at 5pm and wake up at 1am
People who are like that do well with shift work. As a nurse that is more oriented toward getting up early I know that night shift people are badly needed. I suppose that is true for police as well.
Makes sense.
Night owl 2 am I go to bed at 6 am that’s a night owl or possibly a vampire
Or, work at night to keep your body and mood happy. 😁
Going to bed early doesn't work at all. What i do is stay up for 24 to 48 hours then go to bed at the knew time. Or get up at the new time and ill start to get tired around the 8 hour mark the night before.
Fun fact: genetics play a role in determining if you're a morning or night person. But sometimes you can be heterozygous for the trait and have the ability to choose to be a morning or night person with ease. I'm actually one of these people and it is pretty easy to become a morning or night person. 10/10 very nice.
Makes sense
I have done this unknowingly I just eat a biscuit and that turns on my brain
Work 9 hours doing labor. Walk home about an hour. Workout for 2 hours. Fix up my room and animal pens. By 10 or 12 go to bed. Up at 4am. Do it again.
and remember to drink a glass water when u wake up.
Gonna try it, let's see if it works 🧐
I work till 1am
Watching nobody in the site complet darnkess cool fresh air looking at my red digital clock listening to some music no lyrics just beats. Then i wander off in a different dimension.
Edit: No drugs
Bruv it's 4am, 2am is light work
A night owl is a night owl. I have tried to change for 20 years and nothing works.
im a chef i finish work late , no option but to go home at 2.00 am
In another video this guy is telling you to hold off on eating as long as you can in the morning and in this video he's telling you to eat earlier
Yeah. Crazy how there are different things to do when you are in two extremely different situations.
진짜 지금 바뀌고 있음 막 먹음 아침에
Can't. Been trying for decades.
Bro said 10 am 💀. I’m waking up at 5pm 🤦🏽 doing better tho
It’s 2:41 am 🤕
Join the military, learn to sleep whenever and stay up forever
Eat socially on the local schedule
I'm what some might call already an early riser, I get up at 6 AM most mornings, sometimes 5 AM or 5:30 AM. I tried getting up at 2 AM every morning, two weeks of that and I couldn't take it anymore. So I went back to a 6 AM wakeup time. Maybe 2 AM was overkill?
im a tattoo artist and work on my own hours, why would i wake up at 8am just because??
It's not just because.
Did you know over 80% of all people who have depression were waking up after 8:30am before they felt depressed.
If your are homeless, just save $5 daily to buy a house
I must be the only one on the plant who could not give a crap about his morning routine ……
This does not work. I got up at 430am every day last year and went to the gym 6 days a week. It sucked, every minute.
Hey wait why does the night owl have to change? Why can't the morning person sleep a little longer and stay up a little later?😊
This is to get into the morning cycle. After you're in the cycle, science(also he in another vid) doesn't recommend to eat or drink anything first thing in the morning(first hour). Maybe water is fine but nothing else.
Stay healthy!
All the best hints happen past 2am so why would I want to go bed any earlyer
The stillness of the night is so relaxing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's addictive to be still.
Exactly!
but thats when i wanna go for a jog
Most of you are on your phone. That’s not being still.
If it weren't for the phone or TV
There would be much less Night Owls
@@aeojoe not true. And how do you know that's what we're doing? Should I sit here and guess what you're doing in your waking hours just because they're during the day..how silly would that be.
Also, most every person nowadays is on their phone as soon as they open their eyes..IN THE MORNING -- how is that any better than being on your phone at night.
And not for nothing, but I'm often cooking, doing grocery shopping, working, laundry..etc.; all the things you do in "normal hours' we're doing when you're sleeping. Or the best part, just enjoying the quiet and stillness of the night.. which is imperative for most of us... much like morning sun and quietitude is good for morning people's well-being. We're simply living our lives on the other side of the clock. We just get a lot of shit for it for some reason.
When my overbearing family is asleep, I finally get control over the household and my life in it, for those few hours I extend into the wee hours of the morning. It’s the only respite some of us get.
You could have the same control if you got up early before them.....
Honestly I tried. It doesn't work. I mean you can stand up early and go to bed early, like you can make that happen but it never will be easy. It's always an effort to maintain the earlybird when you are a night owl. I tryed my whole 20ties to be an early bird but now I accepted that I am an night owl and that thats ok. I am not a failure for sleeping till 10 every day and go to bed at 1-2. It's ok. It's just my natural rythm. There is no reason to have a rythmn that is hard to maintain. Do what makes you happy😊
You put it perfectly "it doesnt work" " well i mean you can but its not easy". You have a terrible mindset that life is ment to be easy. That thinking always ends up in one place - depression.
Be careful.
Well yeah what kinda life we will be Living if you constantly have to think about even the most basic functions. Remembering when to sleep, when to wake up, how to make yourself sleepy early. Like when are we gonna live life. 😅
I was waiting for the "fairly painlessly" option
🤣🤣🤣
evolutionary speaking night owls and morning persons are absolutely crucial to maintaining the safety of the tribe. if everyone is a morning person, no one can stay up late and guard for the night.
Most tribes that survived and evolved used animals for that.
@@e.m7110 well apparently not the tribe I stem from lol
Getting up at 6 am is torture. I’m not really me that early in the morning, it’s at night time when I’m creative and when I get my best ideas and projects. That’s just the way I am!
I feel you. I had to wake up at 6 am for three days in a row. Let me just say that I didn't like life for the first 2 hrs of each day.
That's not the way you are. You are that way because you conditioned yourself to be that way through habit and repetition.
@@brayanvacostathis is something that only people who don’t know what it’s like to be a night owl say. I had to get up early every single day for months for work, I went to bed early and got enough sleep every day. And yet, I’d still feel nauseas and sick when getting up early. I can go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 9am no problem (7 hours of sleep) but if I go to sleep at 9pm and get up at 4am (still 7 hours) I feel like dying.
@@jordanwiley1283 every single time? u gotta change jobs. that job is making u feel sucky cause u wake up feeling like that knowing u had to go to work that morning.
@@brayanvacosta finally someone cleared my question
Night owls are night owls for a reason.
Essentially to avoid people. You can break that habit by not interacting with people in the day time.
It's the only time I can have time to myself in a quiet environment my family drive me crazy I think it's better for my health and wellbeing sleeping late than it is vice versa
Came looking for this, glad im not the only one.
@@submarooo4319I felt that way for a long time, but now I feel that way about waking up an hour or two before everyone else
@@aaronline5889 I never thought of it like that, thanks man. Im going to try this out
The trick to becoming a morning person is to become a morning person. Who knew?
Lmao
well.. duh??
And it doesn't work. I used to have a job where I had to get up at 4:30 am. I went to bed early and woke up at 4:30 for an entire year and I didn't enjoy it one time. When I changed jobs, I was a night owl again within two days.
"If you're homeless, just buy a house" 💁
@@Hehehe-hf7rq lol
It’s time to stand up to the early bird oppressors fellow night owls.
Exactly 😹😹😹 my lovely comrade night owl
It's not the getting up that's a problem, it's the going to sleep.
Yeah he lost me at “go to bed 30 minutes to an hour earlier each night” my body doesn’t work that way lol
Same here. I can get up at 4 to 5 am every morning if I had to. Ill be exhausted in the afternoon, but the second the sun goes down Ill get a second wind and Ill be wide awake.
Why tho? I’m the nighttime when everyone is finally quiet I thrive
I firmly believe some people are wired to be nocturnal just like some people are wired to be gay or wired to be a psycho. Just different wiring. You can't deny that humans need sunlight to thrive tho.
@@leggoego ppl are wired to be pyschos?
@@samuelgizaw7899 yes phychopaths have genetic wiring to become one
@@maanlicht8583 nobody borns in a specific way, people become psychopaths due to repetitive traumas and a very bad environment
@@krnseu5073 Um no. People are genetically predisposed to psychopathy. Not all psychopaths are violent. Generally the violent ones are the perfect storm of a genetic predisposition and traumatic events in life.
Yeah you can do this for a while and train yourself to change your ways but, in my experience I realized I’m at home and mentally clear at night, it doesn’t change! Meanwhile all my family is waking up really early because they feel mentally clear then; that’s actually their motivation to wake up.
Would you say this maybe Revenge Bedtime Procrastination?
sleep procrastination may be a response to extended work hours that, if combined with a full night's sleep, leave virtually no time for entertainment or relaxation.
What you described has been my entire life, as an infant till now (I'm in my 30s). Nothing works. I'll only eat dinner to help reset, and nothing after trying to switch my hours. The special lights helped but not consistently. I went to a sleep specialist and he asked if I get jetlag- I said, "no." After a test he said I have no circadian rhythm. 🫠
@@delia_watercolors 🤯🤯🤯
I relate to "mentally clear". It's at this time when I feel at my best. My mind just works better
@@imnotmarthastewart8120 its' not a disorder or mental issue, it's a natural way of being for a lot of people. Which @MssSemi is clearly expressing.
LOL he said a night owl is awake until 2am wake up 10am HAHAAAA
It’s true for a lot of us!
I tried this, after a month of sleep deprivation (i still couldn’t get to sleep earlier) I had a mental breakdown and other medical problems. But sure, “quick and painless” 😂
The mental side effects of weeks or months of terrible sleep is so underated. If you complain people act like you're just being extra and overdramatic but the mental space from intense insomnia can be hell
Yeah the fact that we sleep so late in the first place is because our body adapted us into it for a reason
It doesn't work... I have tried everything to go to bed early.... the smell of food also makes me feel sick in the morning
@@natashaj9169 we need to get natural sunlight morning melatonin between 8-11am for it to help us in evening!
I have actually been able to learn to fall asleep early, but my quality if sleep is piss poor. Now when I go to bed at 2am and sleep til 9am, I wake up refreshed and ready to climb mountains.
Tried this. It literally makes me sick after a few months if I don't shift back to my natural clock
This 100% works I went from going bed at 3am and getting up at 7 for work etc to going bed at 9pm and waking up at 5am with no alarm. Took a few months but now I literally don’t set alarms at all
Are you still in your new sleep schedule? If so how much of a positive impact has it had
Same I’d love to know
I’m not In that routine anymore 😭 personal reasons though not because it wasn’t good, worth a try
Why because I have to submit to the world but the world doesn't give a s*** about me?
let me just say something rude to you ‘early birds’. i’ve been told all the childhood and youth that i’m lazy and i need to wake up, eat early in the morning, see the sun… that’s bullsht. after years of betraying my own body and it only getting worse, i don’t believe you anymore. i just don’t. because i did something for myself that i was afraid to do such a long time. i embraced being late night person. i STUDIED my own behaviour. i really do work better after hours (around 7-11 pm). i do focus better. i hate early breakfasts. and tbh, i just love the ambiance of the night. it is much more calm. it is peaceful.
i respect early sleepers - when they fall asleep, i don’t make much noise. i stay silent af. but they don’t respect me at all. i usually wake up around 11, which i consider really okay for someone like me. but damn, do they be noise pollutioning me. im tired of this. i don’t believe you or anyone at that state. i am really comfortable at that state and i’m studying for a not fixed schedule job. yes, i will find my inner peace eventually. stop telling us night owls otherwise. stop forcing all the people to be ‘right’. this pressure almost seems to me like forceful right-handed kids’ education in 20th century. that’s concerning. and to my night owls - never be ashamed of what you are. acknowledge your strength and your rights to be undisturbed of your biological need - healthy sleep, that suits your own body.
(and also - i suggest that early bird partners need to respect their night owls. or the relationship is long gone. until one of you is fed up and pissed off and you won’t be able to fix this with a talk)
Ah yes it's that simple. Tell that to my husband who is more of a 'stay up until 9 AM' kind of night owl. I would kill for someone who went to bed by 2 :'(
Easy to say when I simply cannot just fall asleep
I’d love to be able to go to sleep at 2am. That would perfectly suit my 10am start. I can’t remember the last time I felt ready to sleep before 4am and I usually stay up till after 5. Monday mornings fuuucking suck.
Yip.. I've tried these things he suggests for the past 3 nearly 4 months, & still haven't shifted my circadian rhythm.. 🙄 It sucks hard..
It has EVERYTHING to do with the time you are waking up!!! I guarantee, like extremely garantee that if for 30days you got out of bed and started your day at 7am, your body clock will swing around. But heres the thing. Uou wont stay consistent. You are not disciplined and your going to end up sleeping in again on those nights you struggled to sleep early enough. Your making excuses. Enjoy your mediocre life
@@e.m7110 the first 90% of your paragraph was spot on but the line at the end is cringey af and changed the entire tone of your message
@@bashvash i dont care lol, no idea why you do?
@@e.m7110 I've done what is advised in this video for about 4 times the length time you suggest, getting up at 7am, & going to bed at 11, so it obviously doesn't work for everyone, despite your "guarantee".. Also.. A mediocre life is far better than your bitter, sad, little existence.. I almost feel sorry for you.. Almost..
He just said to eat when you're not hungry in the morning. He also says in another short not to eat the first 60 Minutes you're awake. So, eat, but wait an hour.
Was gonna say this, nice listening skills Micheal!
What is the reasoning for waiting an hour?
I saw this too. I think he said to wait an hour because it’s best for your metabolism and weight
This is to change your sleep habit, eat for a few weeks just to adjust your body clock...my god how your still alive a miracle.
This extroverted world never understands 😑 it’s not just about sleep cycle, it’s about brain activity. Naturally, our brain is more active during the night, and thus, more creative. The work that I can get done perfectly in one hour at night, I do it in five hours during day time and it’s not even close to being as good! I have been experimenting with this my whole life. I, too, would love to be able to do as good of a job during the day as so many other people, but it’s just not possible. My brain is just dead during day time. Dead, I tell you 😂😭
My spouse just needs to learn how to stay up and then sleep in...much easier to do that.
What's fucked is that if I'm naturally more inclined to sleep late, it is I who has to change. Why? Why do we have such arbitrary rules about when it's good to be awake or asleep??
I've heard another clip of him saying don't eat the first hour or 2 (I think) when waking up
🤣 absolute load of crap. The reason we are night owls isn't because of our sleep schedule. Our sleep schedule is because we are night owls.
What we are just going to switch our sleep up and magically not like the peace that only comes when the rest of the world is asleep.
I hate it when people who have never been there think they have the magical solution.
It does not work man! i have been a night owl since i was a baby. I struggle with this and half manage during the week but the moment Friday night hits, i go back to my normal even if i am dead tired.
Who in the hell can just go to sleep earlier by choice???
Just seen a clip of this guy saying dont eat in the first hour of waking
for fasting, hes talking about setting circadian rhythm
He neve mentions in this video to eat in the first hour
Night owls are the secret saviours of society, without them certain jobs wouldn't be able to function
There is less nervous energy in the atmosphere at night. People are not hurrying about trying to get to wage slave jobs. 2am-dawn is the most peaceful time of day. Falling asleep as the sun rises is awesome
That's why I work nights.. Dealing with less bs.
@@lauraashley1 i know more people agree. Thank you Laura. You are not strange at all
Exactly! My nervous system is in far better shape when I align with my nocturnal nature. Going out during the day drains me in inexpliable ways.
Quick and painless ... nah brah, you have no idea what being a born night owl is.
OOOOH JUST GO TO BED EARLIER AND WAKE UP EARLIER WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?
Oh btw, what do I do about the fact that I can stare at the ceiling for 3 hours or wake up at 3 am unable to fall asleep, and be so tired at 8 am I want to take my own life?
