I get up at 4:45 everyday. I need to wake up myself which includes coffee on the deck. I need the silent time. Then I feed the two cats and dog. Take my vitamins. Then I make school lunches for the kids. Then I shower and get dressed. Then it's 7 o'clock and I'm already running late to get the kids gets up, dressed fed and out the door by 745 and myself at work by 830. Good times.
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.
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?
@@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.
@@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 :)
@@tay2944 what do you think being deaf is? My hands still work so I can type, my eyes work just fine so I can see the video, and there's such a thing as closed captioning that allows me to see what's being said. Joking or just ignorant?
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?
I rather want more time in the morning, to shower, eat and watch TH-cam 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Your parents are hilarious. Deadpan awesomeness. I get up at 4:30 pretty much every day but I'm the only family member to do it, I think it's just a personal circadian rhythm.
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"
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.
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.
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".
@@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.
I love sitting out on the balcony when everyone pretty much asleep at 2am in the morning. I sit out there, have a drink and sit in silence. Then I got to bed. Morning waking people are insane.
I truly enjoyed those coffees at 4:30am that Trade sent me. Well, just a few cups of it at a time. I didn't drink the entire coffee in one morning. Please don't drink the entire coffee in one morning. Well, I guess I can't tell you what to do. But I just think it's good advice. First 100 people who click the link get 50% off your first coffee. CODE Wheezy. bit.ly/tradewheezywaiter
I've been getting up pretty early myself recently, for the first time in my life that I've done so when it wasn't required. Pretty nice. Feels like you get a lot more out of a day before your body says it's time to watch Netflix.
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.
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. 🙂
The Virtual Scotsman I live in finland and during the summer it gets kind dark during the night from like 23:00- to like 2:00. And then the sun starts rising again. And keep in mind i live in southern finland. In 5e northern part it doesn’t really go down at all
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
I haven't watched your videos in awhile. I clicked on this one randomly, and it automatically melted my heart. Not because of the topic, but because your dad was reading Fern Michaels. He's the first man I've ever seen to read a book by her. Please give your dad a big hug for making my day.
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!
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.
8 hours work 8 hours rest 8 hours sleep Well more like 10 hours work 2 hours travle 6 hours getting ready for work 2 hours watching breaking bad and then 5 hours sleep shit I'm late for work again. We need more hours in the day
@@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.
Got a turn over of about $2300 a week need about $3600 to pay 1 full timer and 2 causally or pay off the bank loan for equipment which is costing me $1500 a week for a $300,000 loan over 5 years so 2 years 6 mounths down not so long to go.
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 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.
I have to be at my job at 7:15am every morning so realistically I need to be up around 6:00-6:10 every morning to be out of the house by 6:30. But for me I feel like that puts a rush on my mornings. I have been setting my alarm for 5am for about 5 years now and I love it. Sometimes I get out of bed right away but most times I let the snooze go till 5:10/20/30 but 5:30 is the absolute latest. It gives me time to chill and do healthy things like drink coffee and smoke cigarettes. When the weekends come my body naturally tries to get up at 5:45 because that's the "oh shit I am late" time. I also like getting up earlier than I need to because when I do have those mornings where I sleep through my alarm or something comes up like a stomachache... I'm still on time for work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Every day is a blessing. As soon as the sun comes up, you should be up! It all started with having a good work ethic, and then it turned into a way of life. I’m 30 and I’ve been doing it since high school. Even on the weekends. I’m up, because I don’t like to waste precious Day. I was working at 5am but now I’m 7-4, so still early. I love to sit in the backyard on my day off, watch the sun rise, read the news, drink coffee and take a nice bong hit.
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!
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.
@@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’m watching this around 3 AM as I lay in bed after getting done driving for Uber/Lyft around 2:30 AM, sooo-ho-hooo yeah, getting up at 4:30 AM is a no from me 😉😝 lol BUT! 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 🤷🏼♂️😉☺️
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.
What I've learned from this is; getting up early isn't helping you feel better. Focusing more on how much sleep you get and having more time alone is helping you feel better..... Annnnd he says this at the end Also what I've learned: don't comment before finishing the video xD
Me: "I'm gonna go to bed early, that's healthy!" Watches a series till 2AM. Also me: "I'm gonna stand up early and get things done in the morning!" Sleeps in till 11AM... 😑
Reclusive Fox see look I’m a night owl too but I worked open at a bakery for a year, I flipped schedules and it was nice and peaceful, probably better than at night. The hardest thing was nothing was open and nobody else was up. That being said I’m on a late program right now
I notice that large parts of the benefits of waking up early are predicated by nobody else being around. So.... That really falls apart when everyone does it. I'll just jump on that grenade for the rest of society.
This is a good point. I regularly get up early, and one of the benefits is that I get an undisturbed head start on my day. Usually I start working almost immediately, and can easily be several hours into my work day when others start.
On work days when have to be at the office by 8am, I like waking up at 5am. I can wake up at 7am and not be late but doing that will give me stress having to rush getting ready. I prefer waking up early bec it’s quiet, don’t have to rush, I digest my breakfast in peace, and I have time to walk going to work which I love - feeling and smelling the morning breeze, feeling the not so hot sunshine, and having time to observe my city. Waking up early gives me that very satisfying feeling early in the morning. Maybe bec Ive got the morning routine but whenever I wake up later than usual, I always feel crappy and feel like the whole day has already gone by.
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.
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. But when he was a baby... Wake up in every 2 hours... I didn't sleep more than 3 hours in one role for 2 years. Destroyed me.
THANK YOU. I hate going to bed at 8 pm, I like being up all night and then waking up around 1 or 2, take a couple hours to wake up (which I do regardless of when I go to bed and wake up) and check my internets and get dressed, then do things in the late afternoon/early evening (too bad it's rush hour then and I have to sometimes push things back)
I'm there same. I've been pretty nocturnal since I was w kid, I've always been garbage at mornings. Having a kid has been hard in the mornings. The flip side is that I have a weird level of patience when it comes to night time wakings and such, whereas my husband just cannot deal with the fussy nights but he's pretty good with the mornings.
I prefer the benefits of getting up at 10:00am: - You can stay up late. No need to be the party pooper that has to leave early. - You can get work done with no distractions by staying at the office after everyone else has left for the day. - You wake up refreshed, because it's on your own terms, and the natural light helps most people wake up. - You don't have to commute in the dark both ways in the winter. The big reason people like the 4:30 schedule is because most jobs expect you to be there in the morning. The 4:30 schedule lets you feel like a maverick while still conforming to the social norms for work hours. That and kids.
Personally, I don't feel super great when i'm getting to bed past midnight. I've found that my body naturally wants me to wake up around 7'ish, and thus i've begun organizing my life around that. It is a plus when your work begins at 1:30 and only goes till 8:30/9. Compresses work hours to something more managable. I still get a ton of morning hours for me :-) Completely see your point, though
I was a night owl for over 40 years and thought I loved it. For two years now, I go to bed between 9/10 and wake up at 5/5:30 and I wish I'd done it earlier - it's certainly a procrastination killer! And feel so much better with myself and what I get done compared to before.
I feel like it's really subjective. When I'm interning, my office usually starts around 10am but I'm always in office till like 10-11pm. I get home by 11:30 and just bathe and stuff which means I end up going to bed by 1, so I like to sleep till like 9 or I will be really inefficient at work. When I'm home on vacation I sleep by 10 and wake up around 4-5:30(I don't put an alarm). People need to get enough sleep is all while still being able to be productive in their work environment, no point of waking up at 5 if you're going to be all tired by 9 in the office.
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)
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” TH-camrs 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
I wake up at 4:45 am because my shift starts ar 7. To catch the bus, gotta be at the station at 6. And I gotta walk a half hour to the station. So I leave the house at the latest 5:30. But I actually leave at 5:20 just in case I dislocate my knee on the way and need limp time. So 4:45 gives me 35 minutes to slowly wake myself up and get dressed.
I work third shift and go to bed at 6:30 AM. I get up somewhere between 2 and 3:30 PM. I like having several hours to do what I want before I start my job. I feel like work is more enjoyable because I'm doing the things I want when I have the most energy, versus trying to do those same things after work when I'm exhausted.
The trick is to finding your best times... for me roughly it’s 12 to bed and 8am wake up.. I find not having alcohol for a month has really helped me stick to this routine.... great video...
I get up for years Monday to Friday at 3:30 for work. And I'm glad I do. - when the employer needs me to be at work for more than eight hours, in which case I can't do another job that day, like cleaning or meeting friends. + You really get to do a lot and in the evening you can find yourself with a sense of fulfillment of potential.
I LOVE starting my day at 4:30. The house is quiet, I make a cup of coffee, check the local news online, do a few crosswords then go for a an hour long walk or run. I get back do a bit of yoga, and I am ready for whatever the day throws at me. I get about 7 hours of sleep a night. When I was younger I HATED getting out of bed in the morning.
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.
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.
Giving yourself enough time to get things done without being rushed does feel better. I'm not sure the time on the clock exactly matters but that there is enough time before you need it.
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.
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
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 🇮🇹
In the Bible they used a different time system . It states the third watch. Example their day starts at sundown. So the third watch would be 3 am to 6 am. It is a very spiritual time. When supposedly we are closer to heaven at this time of day. It is quiet and we can think of rest in the spirit. It is a very special peaceful time if you do nothing but think on God.( Of course you can have a drink while doing it) not alcohol of course
its genetics too. I've always been a early morning person. i wake up at 5am every day my entire life but i also go to sleep super early. 9:30pm means bedtime
I do this most mornings. Under normal circumstances I'd go to the gym and have the place mostly to myself and be in the office before 8. Now I get up, have a workout and run or bike ride, and still start work super early.
Hey WheezyWalter, I just stumbled on your channel and this is the first video I have seen. I wanted to say I think you have a great personality and a great sense of humor.

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.

@@tay2944 what do you think being deaf is? My hands still work so I can type, my eyes work just fine so I can see the video, and there's such a thing as closed captioning that allows me to see what's being said.
Joking or just ignorant?
The parents thing... wow.. best parents thing ever I've seen on youtube. So adorable.
Your parents are the best comedic duo I've ever seen.
They are AWESOME!!! So funny!
I was born October 4th, 1979 @ 5:50 AM. This is also the only day of my life I've been a morning person.
😂
😂
Ahhhhhhhhh that was actually funny 😄
And even then you were still kicking and screaming :)
😂
Can you provide the link to your parents’ channel???
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?
I wake up at 3:30am for my job & everyday i think about closing my eyes and letting go of the wheel
Amen
Damn dude
Perfect way to put it hahaha
Let Jesus take the wheel!
Very accurate.

yup! instant like! best laugh I've had in a while.
Welcome to the bearded fam
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"
YES THIS, I mean who goes to bed at like 9:30pm.... thats insane.
The simple question is: what's more fun, getting up early, or staying up late?!
I rather want more time in the morning, to shower, eat and watch TH-cam 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.
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
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.
My favorite is always your parents lol... 8 DAYS A WEEK
Sidney Boo ikr 😂😂😂
Ha ha
I like the way the mom swipes her phone and son attacks the computer keys lol
I love your parents!!
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.
Same here
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.
Your parents are hilarious. Deadpan awesomeness. I get up at 4:30 pretty much every day but I'm the only family member to do it, I think it's just a personal circadian rhythm.
Fern Michaels! I love it!
You help sponsor coffee
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"
430 is pretty early. I get up at 5am (but not on weekends).
when do you go to bed to manage to get enough sleep?
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.
That's facts 💯 I feel the same
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.
Wake up at 5 am, or even 530. The extra bit is really helpful.
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".
Yeah, sucks to get up and go straight to work.
@@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.
@@MrPiikkipallo That's unfortunate
“Space-time continuum is your b***” HAHAHAHAHA I love your parents
I love sitting out on the balcony when everyone pretty much asleep at 2am in the morning. I sit out there, have a drink and sit in silence. Then I got to bed. Morning waking people are insane.
Well morning-waking people experience the same silence and peace, just at 5 am rather than at 2 am
You get the same silence and darkness if you wake up at 4:30, I like to wake up smoke a bowl have a glass of water and go for a walk its serene
Nothing says borderline alcoholism like drinking in silence at 2am
I'd rather enjoy that silence at 4am, fresh and awake, than at 2pm, drunk and sleepy
2am is not morning...it’s 2am at night
I truly enjoyed those coffees at 4:30am that Trade sent me. Well, just a few cups of it at a time. I didn't drink the entire coffee in one morning. Please don't drink the entire coffee in one morning. Well, I guess I can't tell you what to do. But I just think it's good advice.

Did you notice none of the comments anywhere under this video have likes? There are no likes. None. Not a single like. Poof.
I've been getting up pretty early myself recently, for the first time in my life that I've done so when it wasn't required. Pretty nice. Feels like you get a lot more out of a day before your body says it's time to watch Netflix.
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.
Dear goodness...that navy seal needs to calm down. He is on the screen for 5 seconds and makes me anxious

Right 90% of the time im not even sleeping by 4:30 am
Preach. Finally fell asleep at 7:30am today. Hopped into bed at midnight.
Not really, you just have to put in the work. And you need to get up consistently at a given time.
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. 🙂
Def not a morning person. If I want to watch the sunrise, I'd rather stay up all night than get up early.
MasterQ 19 same lol
You could go to Northern Europe in winter and watch the sun come up at a leisurely 9:45
Amen to that
@@imaginaryuser in winter... In summer the sun gets up crazy early. I'm only in Scotland and some days it really doesn't get dark.
The Virtual Scotsman I live in finland and during the summer it gets kind dark during the night from like 23:00- to like 2:00. And then the sun starts rising again. And keep in mind i live in southern finland. In 5e northern part it doesn’t really go down at all
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
I can't do anything too involved before work because the whole time my brains telling me "you have work soon".
i said this one time on your newer vidios and ill say it again, i swear u are one of the best youtubers with a great sense of humor, fun to watch.
I haven't watched your videos in awhile. I clicked on this one randomly, and it automatically melted my heart. Not because of the topic, but because your dad was reading Fern Michaels. He's the first man I've ever seen to read a book by her. Please give your dad a big hug for making my day.
My Dad also read Fern Michaels. It always made me smile.
@@SarahHarperScott whats so heartmelting abou Fern Michaels?
duhast43 It’s not the author. It’s that our Dads are reading fun romance books.
"some people enjoy their nights, some their mornings." There we go.
Evolutionary it make sense.
Some people have to be awake in night to guard their territory.
Yes!
Morning is my favorite time of day. I just wish it started later. 🤔
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!
@@monkiram haven't there been studies saying you shouldn't oversleep for longer than like 12 hrs??
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.
8 hours work 8 hours rest 8 hours sleep
Well more like 10 hours work 2 hours travle 6 hours getting ready for work 2 hours watching breaking bad and then 5 hours sleep shit I'm late for work again.
We need more hours in the day
I think your work is the problem here :P
or less hours, more pay!
@@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.
Got a turn over of about $2300 a week need about $3600 to pay 1 full timer and 2 causally or pay off the bank loan for equipment which is costing me $1500 a week for a $300,000 loan over 5 years so 2 years 6 mounths down not so long to go.
Yeah 6 hours should be the length of a work day. When you add travel time it is 8 hours.
Oh man... Your parents are fantastic!
They were responsible for my pushing the "subscribe" button!
That's sweet
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.
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.
@@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.
I have to be at my job at 7:15am every morning so realistically I need to be up around 6:00-6:10 every morning to be out of the house by 6:30. But for me I feel like that puts a rush on my mornings. I have been setting my alarm for 5am for about 5 years now and I love it. Sometimes I get out of bed right away but most times I let the snooze go till 5:10/20/30 but 5:30 is the absolute latest. It gives me time to chill and do healthy things like drink coffee and smoke cigarettes. When the weekends come my body naturally tries to get up at 5:45 because that's the "oh shit I am late" time. I also like getting up earlier than I need to because when I do have those mornings where I sleep through my alarm or something comes up like a stomachache... I'm still on time for work.
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.
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.
Cadwaladr That makes perfect sense.
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.
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.
Every day is a blessing. As soon as the sun comes up, you should be up! It all started with having a good work ethic, and then it turned into a way of life. I’m 30 and I’ve been doing it since high school. Even on the weekends. I’m up, because I don’t like to waste precious Day. I was working at 5am but now I’m 7-4, so still early. I love to sit in the backyard on my day off, watch the sun rise, read the news, drink coffee and take a nice bong hit.
Sadly, friends don't always understand when you are the one who goes to bed early.
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!
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.
@@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’m watching this around 3 AM as I lay in bed after getting done driving for Uber/Lyft around 2:30 AM, sooo-ho-hooo yeah, getting up at 4:30 AM is a no from me 😉😝 lol BUT! 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 🤷🏼♂️😉☺️
Your parents are the best! I've tried waking up early, my days are better when I accomplish doing it.
Power of the TH-cam algorithm. Woke up, this was right on my homepage. Never had heard of this channel. Great video!
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.
What I've learned from this is; getting up early isn't helping you feel better. Focusing more on how much sleep you get and having more time alone is helping you feel better..... Annnnd he says this at the end
Also what I've learned: don't comment before finishing the video xD
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!"
I love coffee, particularly when it’s done
One of the best part about your videos is watching you dad and mom’s part. Always cracks me up.
Honestly, @wheezywaiter, your parents are the best part of your videos.
Me: "I'm gonna go to bed early, that's healthy!" Watches a series till 2AM.
Also me: "I'm gonna stand up early and get things done in the morning!" Sleeps in till 11AM... 😑
I feel the same staying up until the early hours. 2am is quiet, I can get stuff done, it's when I feel most energetic and it feels good.
Reclusive Fox see look I’m a night owl too but I worked open at a bakery for a year, I flipped schedules and it was nice and peaceful, probably better than at night. The hardest thing was nothing was open and nobody else was up. That being said I’m on a late program right now
I notice that large parts of the benefits of waking up early are predicated by nobody else being around.
So.... That really falls apart when everyone does it. I'll just jump on that grenade for the rest of society.
So true! It's neat being up first and having me time. It's ruined by other people.
I like being up late cause I'm the only one up late (and the only one to get up late lol)
or when you live alone and there's always noone around
This is a good point. I regularly get up early, and one of the benefits is that I get an undisturbed head start on my day. Usually I start working almost immediately, and can easily be several hours into my work day when others start.
On work days when have to be at the office by 8am, I like waking up at 5am. I can wake up at 7am and not be late but doing that will give me stress having to rush getting ready. I prefer waking up early bec it’s quiet, don’t have to rush, I digest my breakfast in peace, and I have time to walk going to work which I love - feeling and smelling the morning breeze, feeling the not so hot sunshine, and having time to observe my city. Waking up early gives me that very satisfying feeling early in the morning.
Maybe bec Ive got the morning routine but whenever I wake up later than usual, I always feel crappy and feel like the whole day has already gone by.
My parents: how would you handle a job if you don't want to wake up early?
Me: night time jobs pay way more
Right?!
Night jobs are also detrimental for health, as we're meant to sleep during the night. Watch the "Sleep is your Superpower'' TED Talk.

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.
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. But when he was a baby... Wake up in every 2 hours... I didn't sleep more than 3 hours in one role for 2 years. Destroyed me.
THANK YOU. I hate going to bed at 8 pm, I like being up all night and then waking up around 1 or 2, take a couple hours to wake up (which I do regardless of when I go to bed and wake up) and check my internets and get dressed, then do things in the late afternoon/early evening (too bad it's rush hour then and I have to sometimes push things back)
You can do it, Dad! Hang in there! I totally feel you though, same boat, but just one kid.
Shouldnt have had kids ;)
I'm there same. I've been pretty nocturnal since I was w kid, I've always been garbage at mornings. Having a kid has been hard in the mornings. The flip side is that I have a weird level of patience when it comes to night time wakings and such, whereas my husband just cannot deal with the fussy nights but he's pretty good with the mornings.
Yep. The struggle to go to bed on time. Curses distractio...ooh, what’s that?
I prefer the benefits of getting up at 10:00am:
- You can stay up late. No need to be the party pooper that has to leave early.
- You can get work done with no distractions by staying at the office after everyone else has left for the day.
- You wake up refreshed, because it's on your own terms, and the natural light helps most people wake up.
- You don't have to commute in the dark both ways in the winter.
The big reason people like the 4:30 schedule is because most jobs expect you to be there in the morning. The 4:30 schedule lets you feel like a maverick while still conforming to the social norms for work hours. That and kids.
Personally, I don't feel super great when i'm getting to bed past midnight. I've found that my body naturally wants me to wake up around 7'ish, and thus i've begun organizing my life around that. It is a plus when your work begins at 1:30 and only goes till 8:30/9. Compresses work hours to something more managable. I still get a ton of morning hours for me :-)
Completely see your point, though
This is more my speed but I have to be at work by 7:30 am :(
I was a night owl for over 40 years and thought I loved it. For two years now, I go to bed between 9/10 and wake up at 5/5:30 and I wish I'd done it earlier - it's certainly a procrastination killer! And feel so much better with myself and what I get done compared to before.
I don’t think you fully comprehend just how hilarious you and your parents actually are. Amazing content! Lol
I feel like it's really subjective. When I'm interning, my office usually starts around 10am but I'm always in office till like 10-11pm. I get home by 11:30 and just bathe and stuff which means I end up going to bed by 1, so I like to sleep till like 9 or I will be really inefficient at work.
When I'm home on vacation I sleep by 10 and wake up around 4-5:30(I don't put an alarm). People need to get enough sleep is all while still being able to be productive in their work environment, no point of waking up at 5 if you're going to be all tired by 9 in the office.
Dunno why, But your vids are addicting. They make me chuckle! Thanks for that.
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)
I only need 6 hours sleep and wake up naturally at 4am every day. I love it. I have go so much more done in my life because of this.
“It’s forcing me to pay attention to my sleep schedule.” - Thats the whole point!!
So glad your channel is doing well, loving the content 🤘💕
Waking up is not the problem for me, it’s that after two hours after being up, I’m so sleepy.
I think you are actually the only person who can make me laugh out loud... given how serious I actually am and the landscape of my life. thanks.

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” TH-camrs 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
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
I wake up at 4:45 am because my shift starts ar 7. To catch the bus, gotta be at the station at 6. And I gotta walk a half hour to the station.
So I leave the house at the latest 5:30.
But I actually leave at 5:20 just in case I dislocate my knee on the way and need limp time.
So 4:45 gives me 35 minutes to slowly wake myself up and get dressed.
The Elderworm Me too👊

@@austinking3962 this guy, lmao
Same here. So the entire message of this Video is redundant.
I work third shift and go to bed at 6:30 AM. I get up somewhere between 2 and 3:30 PM. I like having several hours to do what I want before I start my job. I feel like work is more enjoyable because I'm doing the things I want when I have the most energy, versus trying to do those same things after work when I'm exhausted.
The trick is to finding your best times... for me roughly it’s 12 to bed and 8am wake up.. I find not having alcohol for a month has really helped me stick to this routine.... great video...
You had me laughing so hard with that intro. Your parents are great.
I wish there were a love button because I loved this. Very funny, very informative. Thank you!!
4:30am is the time celebrities say they get up to sound superhuman but they actually get up at 1pm....
I get up for years Monday to Friday at 3:30 for work. And I'm glad I do.
- when the employer needs me to be at work for more than eight hours, in which case I can't do another job that day, like cleaning or meeting friends.
+ You really get to do a lot and in the evening you can find yourself with a sense of fulfillment of potential.
I LOVE starting my day at 4:30. The house is quiet, I make a cup of coffee, check the local news online, do a few crosswords then go for a an hour long walk or run. I get back do a bit of yoga, and I am ready for whatever the day throws at me. I get about 7 hours of sleep a night. When I was younger I HATED getting out of bed in the morning.
I love your parents. They’re fabulous
Sure, you have all this time to do stuff. But by noonish I get super rundown and ready to black out by 6pm. I'm good
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.
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.
your parents rock! I enjoy your videos! Keep them coming.
Giving yourself enough time to get things done without being rushed does feel better. I'm not sure the time on the clock exactly matters but that there is enough time before you need it.
"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.
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
Hen_97 Sleep as much as you possibly can these next 6 weeks!
as someone who has to wake up this early for my job, I hate all the people who treat it like an accomplishment.
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 🇮🇹
In the Bible they used a different time system . It states the third watch. Example their day starts at sundown. So the third watch would be 3 am to 6 am. It is a very spiritual time. When supposedly we are closer to heaven at this time of day. It is quiet and we can think of rest in the spirit. It is a very special peaceful time if you do nothing but think on God.( Of course you can have a drink while doing it) not alcohol of course
its genetics too. I've always been a early morning person. i wake up at 5am every day my entire life but i also go to sleep super early. 9:30pm means bedtime
For anyone who is wondering, I just used the coffee code and it still works. 😊
I can't believe you watched Jordan Taylor!! My worlds are colliding.
It is a connection I never thought would be made.
I do this most mornings. Under normal circumstances I'd go to the gym and have the place mostly to myself and be in the office before 8. Now I get up, have a workout and run or bike ride, and still start work super early.
Hey WheezyWalter, I just stumbled on your channel and this is the first video I have seen. I wanted to say I think you have a great personality and a great sense of humor. I Like how you edit your video and make a story out of a simple topic most people just get straight to the point about. Keep up the good work, you have gained a new subscriber today!
That moment you realize this entire video was just a paid infomercial for coffee.
🤣
Convincing us to get up hella early and be tired so we need coffee, then selling us coffee.
But it was a damn good commercial nonetheless. Damn Good.
Rob L. Yep 👍🏻
Finally a video not sponsored by skill share.
your parents are perfect
Just found your channel and I love you. I'm crying my laugh out
I absolutely love when your parents are in a video! They are both the best!
