I read the Miracle Morning after you recommended it a few months ago and I've adapted my routine as well. I don't do it exactly how he recommends, but it's still very helpful. Thanks again for sharing!! ⏰
@@EliseRoseCrochet Awesome! I agree, you’ve got to take what works and leave the rest but overall the book was super motivating and helpful. I keep relistening to it over and over because I love the energy. 😂 Cheers!
This is my next step on my journey to better health. Few months ago i heard a podcast with a sleep expert interviewed, The importance of what she said, and the way she put it, really resonated with me "for the first time in my life, after years of being a night owl!" To reset my body, I started waking at the same time every morning and experienced ... "it's harder to go to bed late... by setting up the a.m. routine." (am beyond the menopause now.. which happened in my early 40s) I have a chipmunk bladder too now! For the last couple of months, I have been trying to get up every day the same time. Everything you are saying ties in with what I intend to continue doing. I like the suggestion of (meditation/affirmations are something I've not practised yet) The 10 minutes gentle exercise, then sit with an audiobook book/ sip water. Write a to-do list for the day. I'm going to add these to my recently trialed, new routine . 💐tysm 😊 I really think I messed my body up over the yrs/had onset of chronic illness. I now think Due to the fact " i used to skip breakfast in my teens 20s 30s and 40s!"...neglecting my needs, but feeding my children, breakfast lunch and dinner always. (i used to skip lunch often.. but always made a home-cooked meal- ate with the family at dinner time) I don't think I was getting enough nourishment for my body to function well . I can see now where I went wrong . My parents had me in a very good routine growing up . Which I succeeded to give my children (Now I'm now putting right , the neglect I did to myself).
I got up early all my life and hated it every single day until I developed a depression, left office work for freelance and just decided to go to bed and get up when my body wanted it. now I get up between 10 and 11am and man have I ever been happier :) my husband works noon to midnight so he has a similar regime. we know doctors advise otherwise, but it's so comfortable for us both!
I read somewhere how we all have slightly different circadian rhythms because there was a time when it was dangerous if we were all sleeping at the same time. Someone had to be on guard to watch for predators. It seems to make sense and I feel like after much trial and error I’m happiest with an 11-12 bedtime and 7-8 wake time.
I'm so glad you wrote about your experience! I've tried waking up early so many times and there were periods of my life when I had to because of my work schedule. Never got used to it and I just became more tired and more depressed. Slept through my weekends for 4years as weekdays I had to get up 4.30-5am to get to work. My social life disappeared and I'm still struggling to get it back even though I left that job 4years ago. I think, if you are a morning person, definitely, go for it and make the most out of your mornings! But if you know you're more of an afternoon/evening one, pushing yourself to wake up early will only result in exhaustion where you won't be able to work/live productively at all because your usual active period is compromised.
YES! The Power of When book has changed my life! I am a late night person. We're only 15% of the population. I have been able to mostly get to bed near midnight and wake without an alarm by 7:30-8 am. My previous normal was 2 a.m. bedtime and using the eating times has helped me to feel ready for bed earlier. I'm so glad you found the rhythm that works for you!! I love that it fits with your husband's schedule, too!
Same case, I had to be up early for school or work, and for seasons I only slept 3 to 5 hours during week days and all I could during weekends. Then I decided not to adapt my sleep to other people's lives, but create a life around my own needs. I sleep a lot more now, live more relaxed, and save more money than ever before. Have been losing weight, feeling stronger and simply happier and healthier. In the long run is bette to optimize our lives to fit for our bodies needs than sacrifice our bodies to fit all the demands and expectations. Living by other people standards was no life.
@@bonkers9182 I'm working on the same thing just now - trying to fit my work(and life) to my needs instead of the other way around! I did that my whole life. At 42, it's high time I respect and prioritise my own needs and body.
I’m convinced I’m not wired to get up early. I tried a 30 day challenge and I was tired, crabby and miserable. I get up at 8 or 9, and I still do the morning routine - meditation and exercise - just not at 6 am.
Same! I don’t mind getting up at 8 even but anything earlier is such a struggle. I start work at 730 so I’m up at like 645 which rlly isn’t enough time for a proper routine. Ill try my best on weekdays but im just not able to be consistent😭idk how others do it bcs i rlly want a good morning routine
Came here after watching Ariel, That Awkward Mom. Love both of your conclusions following your collaboration! This has challenged me to start getting up earlier with intention. Retired and widowed, so there hasn't been anyone here to keep me accountable for my day. You and Ariel have helped to change my outlook, thanks!
Mary, I'm in the same boat. Retired and hubs doesn't work until 10. We both drink coffee from 8-10. I LOVE that time together with him, but feel like I need to do this challenge.
You gave my husband and I a good laugh when we saw you in your big warm gray snuggy or whatever it’s called. The reason being is because he bought one for each of us during the winter when he wanted to save energy and turned the heat down. We laugh at each other when we are sitting in our living room all bundled up. They sure are cozy and warm!
These tips are helpful, but circadian rhythms are a very real thing. I have seen a sleep doctor for years due to Restless Leg Syndrone, and she has confirmed that there are physical limits to how much you can change your own natural physiology. Within reason, it doesnt matter so much what your schedule is, so long as you keep the same consistent schedule each day. BTW, there are also several studies that show a positive correlation between creativity and a later circadian rhythm. So it's not all bad!
Hi Marissa,I’m a 59 years old veteran,suffered a stroke a couple of years back,recovered to about 80 percent ,used to be getting up early in the past,your video woke me up,gonna start my old routine again thanks for sharing,love all your videos,keep it up,inspiring stuff
28-plus of 33 years at the Plant, worked 7-Day Rotating Shifts. Seven 8x4’s (two days off) Seven 4x12’s (two days off) Seven 12x8’s (three days off) Absolutely no way to get into a routine other than work (never mind working days off, double shifts, staying over or coming in early before your Shift) Going to Straight Days the last 2-1/2 years (different job, Dad was dying of cancer) made no difference; getting up early I felt horrible. Put on weight (not walking around as much as on Shifts) and slumped over the wheel going into work. I even got up at 5 to have an hour-plus of peace (during COVID-19 in 2020, we were allowed to come in earlier and leave earlier, if one wished to) before my day began. Rotating Shifts are inhumane. All mornings, days or nights, much better health-wise. Preparing for the next day before going to bed makes a difference, but for me even retirement didn’t work for 3 years-plus (still felt horrible, ate badly, spent unwisely, no motivation) until finally I could go to bed early and arise early…NO ALARM CLOCK staring at me during insomnia periods, just waking up at sunrise as nature intended, going for walks, working out, *then* saying alright what needs doing, requires my attention? All good advice above, but the best I can give is stop working terrible hours. The money ain’t worth it, and you’re not being compensated fairly enough anyway to work crazy hours, weekends, holidays, double-shifts. One life, don’t abuse it. 👍
Early risers eat better, earn more money, and are happier than people who sleep in late because the world is built for early birds. If businesses and services didn't open until noon and stayed open until midnight, those results would be reversed. As I commented on Ariel's channel, I'm happy this works for you. I honestly cannot handle waking up early it makes me physically ill, to the point of hospitalization. My body hates it, no matter how early I go to sleep. All of the benefits you listed are things that are also easily done late at night after everyone else goes to bed, so that's the magic hour for me.
I feel out off balance too. Not stable yet. Not ready for the day and my energy is very low. And I feel like that the whole day, it does not get better during the day.
Ich stehe von Montag bis Freitag um 5 Uhr auf, am Wochenende stehe ich um 7 Uhr auf. Wenn ich länger schlafe komme ich nicht in die Gänge. Ich genieße morgens meine Dusche, schminke mich und freue mich dann auf eine Tasse Kaffee die ich genieße bevor die Familie wach wird. Am Samstag gehe ich morgens nach dem Kaffee direkt einkaufen weil ich es nicht leiden kann und einfach nur froh bin, wenn es morgens schon erledigt ist. Danke für das tolle Video.
I'm a Night Owl. I worked at a job for 4 years that required me to be there at 5:00 a.m. I don't have a lot of memories of it! Lol! My perfect sleeping time is from midnight to 7:30-8 a.m. I CAN get up early, but regardless of how much sleep I get, if I have to get up before 7:00 a.m., I feel like crap for the first couple of hours. I tease my early bird friends by telling them they have FOMO and I don't. 😂
🔴I use an alarm for bedtime NOT to wake up. Sleep is THE most important thing you can give your body for health, work, hobbies, and relationships. So... if my body needs sleep, I'm not going to restrict what is needed. 🔴What about work? What about deadlines? - I have a "BACKUP" alarm set in case I oversleep. But it's a "backup." It's not set to wake me up on a regular basis. If I'm being awakened by my alarm, then that means I'm not getting the sleep I NEED. So.... I set my bedtime alarm to go off earlier. I keep adjusting my bedtime until I can awaken naturally in the morning. Only when you're awakening naturally are you getting all the sleep your body needs. You don't have to guess at how many hours you "should" get. Besides, what we need changes. A stressful day, a little illness, sunlight, time of the month, all these things change what we need day to day. Going to bed at the same time AND waking up at the same time is like feeding your body the same amount of food everyday without taking into account extra physical activity. It doesn't make sense. Also, I let myself enjoy an activity (in bed) to make waking up a joy: listen to music, listen to a podcast or TH-cam creator, mentally list what I'm grateful for, lay there and watch the sunrise. It's "ME" time. THEN I'll start my workout or whatever. -Trust me. It's worth trying.❤
I'm all out of rhythm/schedule at the moment. I think I need two bedtime alarms. One about and hour before I want to be in bed, to remind me to start going to bed - potter/gentle clean up, shower, teeth etc. Then another maybe 15mins before I want to turn my light out, and actually go to sleep. I figure if I turn my light out about 9hrs before my back-up alarm goes off. That should allow me time to fall asleep, sleep, and wake up naturally before it goes off. And like you say - if I find I'm regularly still asleep when my back up alarm goes off, then I need to start going to bed earlier.
My husband and I both have alarm clocks nearly identical to the one you showed. The volume on mine recently broke (couldn't turn it down) so I finally broke down and use my phone now. My husband's is still on his nightstand though. Mornings are the best time of the day! Before I start working from home at 9 I've already been up for 4 hours exercising, eating breakfast, spending time with the dog, showering and getting ready. The older I get, the more I love mornings.
I get up early too. After taking care of the pets, I head out to walk a 5k every morning. I get my steps in, but it is also good thinking time, good audiobook time, and sometimes an opportunity to catch up with friends. If for some reason I don’t get my walk in during the morning, I will do it when the sun sets and it cools down. That hour always sets me up for a good day or a restful sleep.
My cronotype is so upset at the Miracle Morning and the lack of understanding that not everyone is designed for mornings. I also literally can't change my sleep schedule. I have teens. I have to pick people up from work anywhere from 10:30 to 12:30. I also need three hours to wake up in the morning and most of them have to be quiet thought and then into journaling and planning. I can't do anything physical in the morning.
I started reading the Miracle Morning and have worked to implement it in my day. My struggle is that I have 2 young boys, 2 and 5, and several times as soon as I get out of bed (at 5:30) they also decide that they need to get up. This has made waking up early less enjoyable because my routine is getting constantly interrupted. I am going to keep trying though!
I have always been a morning person. Being born in the winter I have never had an issue with getting up when it's dark outside but the summer can sometimes have the opposite effect. I do set an alarm for 4:30 a.m. but always wake up at least fifteen minutes before it goes off. On the weekends my body naturally wants to wake up around 3:45 a.m. I love an early start. I have warm lemon water, meditate, do affirmations, workout, take care of my plants, have a healthy meal, go for a walk and maybe even do some housework/laundry. Most importantly, I'm always in a positive mood and feel good throughout the day.
Being born in winter has nothing to do with it. I have summer kids and friends who are morning people and I was born in winter and I'm NOT a morning person.
I love this. I’m a morning person. Sleeping in is 5:30. Hahaha. (I was born in December. Never thought about that affecting sleep cycle. I thought it was just because I was peculiar. I just know I’m high energy in the morning.)
I am retired, and a morning person. I wake up naturally around 6:30. I don’t miss the 5am early mornings of my working years, however I do need to smarten up my morning routine. Good tips in your video Marissa. Plus I also follow Ariel, she is hilarious.
I like that you influencers reach out to each other . Ariel, The Awkward Mom following your 30 day 5AM wake up challenge is why I am watching this now. ❤
I have been trying to wake up earlier in the last few weeks and it worked pretty well. Now I only have to get the routine down. I'm really happy to hear you say that your husband wanted nothing to do with waking up early, it made me relate more and feel like I was less alone in my decision
For 30 years I had to get up between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. for my job as a hospital nurse. At the same time I struggle with sleeping because I have had insomnia since I was a child. Now that I'm retired I still want to get up early but I find it extremely difficult. I'm usually out of bed by 7:30 but that still seems too late. One question for you. When do you shower? That's the biggest time expense in my day because my hair is straight like yours! Requires high maintenance so it takes me a couple of hours to shower and dress every day. I really appreciate your video though it was very helpful ❤❤c
There is no need to wash your hair every day, actually it's better not to. Every 3-4 days is better for the hair itself. Also, I don't wash my hair when I shower, I do it separately, usually after work in the evening.
Your night lights are adorable 💙 I'm not a natural morning person, so I've found batch prepping a healthy breakfast night before is so helpful! I add light to the room slowly & gently, forcing myself to be in a bright space is too jarring for me personally! 😅👁🌞
The gray hooded snuggie looks soft, warm, and comfortable for wintery cold mornings. I will be on the lookout for something similar. I'd like to add light standing exercises into my morning routine...in my small heated bathroom. At 76, getting up off the floor isn't easy. Being retired, I usually get up at 7:30 am without an alarm...but I like that vibration phone alarm idea.
I read Miracle Morning years ago and tried to implement a morning routine, but in my stage of life I was in with a toddler, it just didn't happen. My son is older now and I have a pretty good "before school" morning routine with the both of us while my husband still sleeps. However, it may be time for me to enjoy some alone time to get my exercise in and a few housekeeping tasks before my son wakes up and we get ready for school and I head to work. Thanks for the video. I also follow Ariel and watched her video. I enjoy your collabs together.
Thanks so much for this video. I also subscribed to your friend's TH-cam channel, too. I am NOT a morning person though my M-F day job requires me to wake up earlier. I actually need more time to ease into my day, than the time it actually takes me to get ready. I appreciate all suggestions to make this less painful. 😊
A ninety pound black lab is an amazing alarm clock and walking coach. It could be the neighbors' roosters (yes multiple of both) encouraging him, but maybe just his internal clock. A bad case of tendonitis (me) put a damper on things, but we're getting back to our routine. Thanks for the motivation! Love that snuggly grey...??? wearable blankie???
My husband gets up at 6.30am and lets our dog our. When he (dog) comes back in, he races up to my bed to sleep again. He usually stirs again at about 9am and thats my cue to get up. I love our sleepy time in the mornings. ❤
before I got into coffee I used to wake up naturally at 6am (probably because of when my parents put me to bed) but I came to really love the quiet of morning hours. Recently when I quit coffee and started drinking Teeccino I find I can once again wake up early, naturally, go running before dawn - I love it
I’m a morning person for sure. Even so, at times I find myself grabbing for my phone and scrolling before even getting out of bed. Talk about starting your day off on the wrong foot! On another note, I recently watched your video about Minimalism and Toys. I’d love to know what your boys are currently into, since by now they have probably outgrown those toys. Can you do a video about this?
our clocks just changed by 1 hr....good tip to use your '10 mins earlier to bed for awk' to change your routine by an hr, i shuda dun that last wk, in prep 4 today xx
Thank you, the tips are really helpful. I would like to add to the glass of water, I hate cold water in the morning, my body always starts freezing, except it is 30 C outside - and that is not so often even in summer- , so I prepare an insulated can and have warm water, so being able to stay relaxed . The quote of Jim Rohn I like best. These routines you do remind me of the 5 tibetan Moves, if so, I can assure you that turning left side (where normally your heart is) round is even more helpful and nourishing - I learned that from a Sufi Master-. So, again manay thanks and thriving life!!!
New subscriber here, came over from Awkward Mom. Love your channel and have watched several videos already. Starting the challenge tomorrow. I don’t sleep well as it is so hoping this will help auto correct it. ☺️
Before i watched Ariel's video I did think 'wow are my house organization and time management TH-camrs all getting the same ideas at the same time?!' but no it was totally planned which makes more sense 😅 These are both great videos that complement each other well - this one gave me great tips to get started and Ariel's motivated me to give it a try because I am NOT currently a morning person. Luckily our daylight savings finishes very soon so the mornings won't be so dark (sun isn't rising until after 7am right now, and we don't live in the Arctic!!)
Thank you very much! Can you make a Video about your evening Routine too? Actually I´m struggling with this right now very much, but I will try to adopt some of your points to my "go to sleep routine" PEACE
I think the idea of getting up early also depends on your stage in life. I got up early my entire working life to be at work by 6:30 AM because I hated getting off work at 5 PM. One of the first things I did when I retired was remove my alarm clock from my bedroom I get up these days at about 8 AM which works fine for this retired person who doesn't need to get up and who has all day to do everything. I think the video is really interesting and I think at your stage of life it probably works out well for you, but I can tell you it's not gonna happen for me.
I have ADHD and have difficulties getting to sleep. I saw a video by psychiatrist Dr Tracey Marks where she recommended to take low dose (0,1-0,3 mg) of melatonin 4 hours before going to bed. I bought liquid melatonin and take only one drop (whereas the normal dose would be 10 drops=2mg) and by 10-11 pm I'm already asleep. So this way at 7 in the morning I'm fully awake. Naturally I wake up at 9-10 and go to sleep at 12-1 at night, but I find that when I do this I become more depressed, so waking up earlier makes me somehow more stable. But I have to say that I work from home and I have free timetable.
I wake up 3.30am every day and those 1st few hours of the day are priceless. I use it to walk and doing my gym workout, sometimes cleaning up my house. After work I'm able to just rest and recharge my batteries. Been a morning person all my life, but I have no doubt anyone can learn this if willing. I guarantee, peace and the beauty of sunrises is worth effort❤ But other side of this is that if you ask me to do something after 5pm, the answer is no😂
I have a lot of indoor plants. I set them on night light which is mostly blue light for the evening and night. Is this the same as when you say “blue light” is bad at night?? I mean I have insomnia and take sleeping pills as it is, and only got these plant lights in November but now I wonder if it is making my sleep worse.
I've had this alarm clock since the '60s and it's still in use on my desk which is located outside my bedroom, and so there's no way to hit a snooze button. Unfortunately with my job, sometimes I have to get up at 5:00 and then give myself 30 minutes to wake up and continue working on my "homework" from my job the day before. When you have many times 15-plus hour workdays, nothing in life is really normal except never getting enough sleep.
Oh man, I never wake up groggy. I hate the idea of it just hearing it. I woke at 4 AM today but really was hoping for my usual 5:30 (the baby wasn't having it). Most all of this info I knew already, as an early riser since I was 7, but I hope that many people will see the benefits you have shared with them! It must be awful to have a chipmunk sized bladder! I am sorry about that. I love how much I get done in my day by waking early. -Victoria/JusticePirate
I have to be at work at 6 am 😢 I have no choice but get up at 4:30 am. I have a really hard time falling asleep before 10 pm, even if a go to bed by 9 pm 😢 I'm always tired, frustrated, and can't perform as I would like to 😢
Everyone has a different rhythm. I was always more a night owl than an early morning person.. working well until 3am when younger... but Then menopause hits! With insomnia and hot flushes...add in depression, anxiety and you are tired all the time...because you dont get good sleep.. which continued from having kids (I was a "geriatric" mum). I wake up at 0630 (to get out the house at 0715 to get kids to school at 0745 and work by 0830). Feel like death. Usually manage 6-7hrs broken sleep.. often awake 0200-0400... usually after 3-4hrs sleep. Going to sleep is never my problem ..in bed 0930-10pm..and asleep by 10-1030. ..it is staying asleep that is my issue due to the above. But sometimes its later if i need to do some work as prep for the next day. I prefer sport in the evening before shower and bed... not mornings... although i do love early morning walks.
I've always gotten up early when I was younger and still feel great with it once I am up. But my problem is definitely lazyness and sleeping too less. Even though both are easy to fix problems I am still struggling with getting up early and watching all these videos in hopes for a magical solution😂
when I stop working shift job, I was promising myself, that I will be sleeping every day till 6. It wasn't long, when I started wake up at 5 to exercise. And now... now I wake up at 3:30..... cause I keep company to my friend in Ramadan time. So......
I try to get up before 8AM every day. I call that getting up early. I did get up at about 7 for a few days, but I still have trouble going to sleep before midnight.
I need a video on how to have a lie in. I can have the latest night, be as tired as a dog and yet every morning between 5-6:30 (6:30 if I’m lucky) I’m awake. The only exception to this is if I’m poorly and then occasionally I might make it to 8. Sometimes I just want to sleep in! 😫
I’m wondering if you (or anyone reading this ) can help me with a particular challenge that I have regarding getting up early. I readily see the benefits of it and right now in my life I need it more than ever. However, I am a registered nurse and I work the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. Even if I get out on time, which I usually don’t, I’m not even getting home until 11:30 PM and I find it difficult to go immediately to sleep so it is typical for me to not even go to sleep until two or 3 AM. And worse, Because it’s so late at night and the rest of the world is already sleeping. I tend to just find it very easy to slump on the couch and binge watch TH-cam videos and I often end up falling asleep on the couch and waking up on the couch, which is another very bad habit. I guess my question is number one. Does anyone who might work shifts have any advice on what helps you get to sleep earlier? And also do you think that the miracle morning routine is still effective even if you can’t get up anywhere close to 5 AM. Like if I can’t fall asleep until 3 AM, I would have to sleep until 11 AM just to get eight hours which I definitely am someone who needs eight hours. Right now and in this time of my life, it would be difficult for me to change jobs so I’m hoping to find some tips and adapt the routine to my own schedule because I am in a wicked bad slump and I really need to get back on track and feeling better about myself. Thank you again for your video and anyone’s feedback would be welcome.❤
To all the people who are against the early mornings...early mornings are great for some of us because we have children who wake up early and our moods and day can go so much better when we have that time to ourselves before our children wake up! If 5am doesn't appeal to you then I don't see why you watched this (or That Akward Mom's) video. If you just came for the tips then quit complaining about the time. Why do people feel the need to post their negativity? If this doesn't work for you it's okay, they're suggestions for those who may benefit from them.
Sometimes I have to remind myself, that I am not a less productive person if the mere idea of exercising before 8-9 am gives me nausea and that I do NOT miss out if I wake up at 8. My miracle hour is 10-12pm, lets normalize that. These tips are not for people with irregular or nonexistent schedules, who have severe problems waking up with 10 alarms let alone vibrations and so. This is targeted to people who want to wake up at 7:30 and now are waking up at 6:30 or 5, not for people who really struggle with mornings.
And then there are the Southern Europeans (I'm Italian but I'm sure Spanish people can relate) that have dinner at 8 or 9 (or later) and need to wait at least until 11-12 to digest and go to bed, but still have to be at work at 9. I am lucky because I can be in the office anytime between 8 and 10 (still need to work all my hours, so if I get in at 10 I work until 7 pm - we have 1 hour lunch break that is compulsory). Before Covid I used to wake up at 6:30, but working from home for almost one year let my body wake up more naturally at 7:30-8. Then I had to go back to working in the office, I had to add back my 1-hour commute, but I could not put my waking time back to 6:30, the alarm is set at 7 at the moment. No way I could ever get up at 5 😂
I don’t have kids at home and no longer need to get up at a specific time for work. However, I have 2 dogs that insist that I get up around 6 am every morning to let them out. My challenge is getting to bed at a reasonable time so I get an adequate amount of sleep.
Hell to the no...if I'm going to alter my whole routine when I really don't want to he can too. I'm turning that ringer ALL the way up. He can do it too...
I'm retired and I wake up normally at 7am but my husband sleeps until 9am. Normally, I just read until he wakes up because I don't want to wake him up but I also like the time to read undisturbed. However, I since I am retired the most important thing for me is to not let the day get away from me so I plan out my day.
I wake up at 4 am every day and go to bed at 11:30 pm every day, for almost 25 years. I take 2-3 ten minute naps throughout the day and I wondered why people in my family always wasted so much time sleeping, until I recently discovered something called “short sleep genes”. They’re still being studied but it gave me a better perspective on other people’s struggles with sleep…

This is my next step on my journey to better health.
Few months ago i heard a podcast with a sleep expert interviewed,
The importance of what she said, and the way she put it,
really resonated with me "for the first time in my life, after years of being a night owl!"
To reset my body, I started waking at the same time every morning
and experienced ... "it's harder to go to bed late... by setting up the a.m. routine."
(am beyond the menopause now.. which happened in my early 40s)
I have a chipmunk bladder too now!
For the last couple of months, I have been trying to get up every day the same time.
Everything you are saying ties in with what I intend to continue doing.
I like the suggestion of (meditation/affirmations are something I've not practised yet)
The 10 minutes gentle exercise, then sit with an audiobook book/ sip water.
Write a to-do list for the day.
I'm going to add these to my recently trialed, new routine .
💐tysm 😊
I really think I messed my body up over the yrs/had onset of chronic illness.
I now think Due to the fact " i used to skip breakfast in my teens 20s 30s and 40s!"...neglecting my needs,
but feeding my children, breakfast lunch and dinner always.
(i used to skip lunch often.. but always made a home-cooked meal- ate with the family at dinner time)
I don't think I was getting enough nourishment for my body to function well .
I can see now where I went wrong .
My parents had me in a very good routine growing up . Which I succeeded to give my children
(Now I'm now putting right , the neglect I did to myself).
I got up early all my life and hated it every single day until I developed a depression, left office work for freelance and just decided to go to bed and get up when my body wanted it. now I get up between 10 and 11am and man have I ever been happier :) my husband works noon to midnight so he has a similar regime. we know doctors advise otherwise, but it's so comfortable for us both!
I read somewhere how we all have slightly different circadian rhythms because there was a time when it was dangerous if we were all sleeping at the same time. Someone had to be on guard to watch for predators. It seems to make sense and I feel like after much trial and error I’m happiest with an 11-12 bedtime and 7-8 wake time.
I'm so glad you wrote about your experience! I've tried waking up early so many times and there were periods of my life when I had to because of my work schedule. Never got used to it and I just became more tired and more depressed. Slept through my weekends for 4years as weekdays I had to get up 4.30-5am to get to work. My social life disappeared and I'm still struggling to get it back even though I left that job 4years ago. I think, if you are a morning person, definitely, go for it and make the most out of your mornings! But if you know you're more of an afternoon/evening one, pushing yourself to wake up early will only result in exhaustion where you won't be able to work/live productively at all because your usual active period is compromised.
YES! The Power of When book has changed my life! I am a late night person. We're only 15% of the population. I have been able to mostly get to bed near midnight and wake without an alarm by 7:30-8 am. My previous normal was 2 a.m. bedtime and using the eating times has helped me to feel ready for bed earlier. I'm so glad you found the rhythm that works for you!! I love that it fits with your husband's schedule, too!
Same case, I had to be up early for school or work, and for seasons I only slept 3 to 5 hours during week days and all I could during weekends. Then I decided not to adapt my sleep to other people's lives, but create a life around my own needs. I sleep a lot more now, live more relaxed, and save more money than ever before. Have been losing weight, feeling stronger and simply happier and healthier. In the long run is bette to optimize our lives to fit for our bodies needs than sacrifice our bodies to fit all the demands and expectations. Living by other people standards was no life.
@@bonkers9182 I'm working on the same thing just now - trying to fit my work(and life) to my needs instead of the other way around! I did that my whole life. At 42, it's high time I respect and prioritise my own needs and body.
I saw Ariel’s video on That Awkward Mom, where she said you and she did a 30-day wake up at 5am and how great she felt. Very inspiring.
That’s how I got here, too. Ariel. (I laughed so hard when book hit her in the head! Was not expecting that!!!😅)
Me too!
@@toniburch296 she is so funny.
Ditto. 😊
I’m convinced I’m not wired to get up early. I tried a 30 day challenge and I was tired, crabby and miserable. I get up at 8 or 9, and I still do the morning routine - meditation and exercise - just not at 6 am.
Agreed!
What is your working time? 😮 Most jobs begin between 6 and 10, so it's normal (and not early) to get up at 4 - 6 I think.🤔
I’ve done that to myself many times too. Waking early doesn’t help me have a better day at all.
Same! I don’t mind getting up at 8 even but anything earlier is such a struggle. I start work at 730 so I’m up at like 645 which rlly isn’t enough time for a proper routine. Ill try my best on weekdays but im just not able to be consistent😭idk how others do it bcs i rlly want a good morning routine
Came here after watching Ariel, That Awkward Mom. Love both of your conclusions following your collaboration! This has challenged me to start getting up earlier with intention. Retired and widowed, so there hasn't been anyone here to keep me accountable for my day. You and Ariel have helped to change my outlook, thanks!
Good luck and I hope you find a good morning routine that works for you!
Mary, I'm in the same boat. Retired and hubs doesn't work until 10. We both drink coffee from 8-10. I LOVE that time together with him, but feel like I need to do this challenge.
You gave my husband and I a good laugh when we saw you in your big warm gray snuggy or whatever it’s called. The reason being is because he bought one for each of us during the winter when he wanted to save energy and turned the heat down. We laugh at each other when we are sitting in our living room all bundled up. They sure are cozy and warm!
They are amazing! I bought a huge, oversized one because I wanted to be completely covered. 😂 It’s great for cold winters!
Same……definitely warm and cozy!!!
@@AtoZenLife Where did you get yours from?? It looks so cozy!!
Amazon
These tips are helpful, but circadian rhythms are a very real thing. I have seen a sleep doctor for years due to Restless Leg Syndrone, and she has confirmed that there are physical limits to how much you can change your own natural physiology. Within reason, it doesnt matter so much what your schedule is, so long as you keep the same consistent schedule each day. BTW, there are also several studies that show a positive correlation between creativity and a later circadian rhythm. So it's not all bad!
Aaaah, that's why I'm a creative person 😊
I discovered my RLS was being caused by my dairy consumption! Best wishes. RLS is no fun.
Hi Marissa,I’m a 59 years old veteran,suffered a stroke a couple of years back,recovered to about 80 percent ,used to be getting up early in the past,your video woke me up,gonna start my old routine again thanks for sharing,love all your videos,keep it up,inspiring stuff
28-plus of 33 years at the Plant, worked 7-Day Rotating Shifts.
Seven 8x4’s (two days off) Seven 4x12’s (two days off) Seven 12x8’s (three days off)
Absolutely no way to get into a routine other than work (never mind working days off, double shifts, staying over or coming in early before your Shift)
Going to Straight Days the last 2-1/2 years (different job, Dad was dying of cancer) made no difference; getting up early I felt horrible. Put on weight (not walking around as much as on Shifts) and slumped over the wheel going into work. I even got up at 5 to have an hour-plus of peace (during COVID-19 in 2020, we were allowed to come in earlier and leave earlier, if one wished to) before my day began.
Rotating Shifts are inhumane. All mornings, days or nights, much better health-wise. Preparing for the next day before going to bed makes a difference, but for me even retirement didn’t work for 3 years-plus (still felt horrible, ate badly, spent unwisely, no motivation) until finally I could go to bed early and arise early…NO ALARM CLOCK staring at me during insomnia periods, just waking up at sunrise as nature intended, going for walks, working out, *then* saying alright what needs doing, requires my attention?
All good advice above, but the best I can give is stop working terrible hours. The money ain’t worth it, and you’re not being compensated fairly enough anyway to work crazy hours, weekends, holidays, double-shifts. One life, don’t abuse it. 👍
Early risers eat better, earn more money, and are happier than people who sleep in late because the world is built for early birds. If businesses and services didn't open until noon and stayed open until midnight, those results would be reversed. As I commented on Ariel's channel, I'm happy this works for you. I honestly cannot handle waking up early it makes me physically ill, to the point of hospitalization. My body hates it, no matter how early I go to sleep. All of the benefits you listed are things that are also easily done late at night after everyone else goes to bed, so that's the magic hour for me.
I feel out off balance too. Not stable yet. Not ready for the day and my energy is very low. And I feel like that the whole day, it does not get better during the day.
Exactly. Everything she talks about enjoying in the early morning, I enjoy doing late at night.
Ich stehe von Montag bis Freitag um 5 Uhr auf, am Wochenende stehe ich um 7 Uhr auf. Wenn ich länger schlafe komme ich nicht in die Gänge. Ich genieße morgens meine Dusche, schminke mich und freue mich dann auf eine Tasse Kaffee die ich genieße bevor die Familie wach wird. Am Samstag gehe ich morgens nach dem Kaffee direkt einkaufen weil ich es nicht leiden kann und einfach nur froh bin, wenn es morgens schon erledigt ist. Danke für das tolle Video.
I'm a Night Owl. I worked at a job for 4 years that required me to be there at 5:00 a.m.
I don't have a lot of memories of it! Lol! My perfect sleeping time is from midnight to 7:30-8 a.m. I CAN get up early, but regardless of how much sleep I get, if I have to get up before 7:00 a.m., I feel like crap for the first couple of hours. I tease my early bird friends by telling them they have FOMO and I don't. 😂
🔴I use an alarm for bedtime NOT to wake up. Sleep is THE most important thing you can give your body for health, work, hobbies, and relationships. So... if my body needs sleep, I'm not going to restrict what is needed.
🔴What about work? What about deadlines?
- I have a "BACKUP" alarm set in case I oversleep. But it's a "backup." It's not set to wake me up on a regular basis. If I'm being awakened by my alarm, then that means I'm not getting the sleep I NEED. So.... I set my bedtime alarm to go off earlier.
I keep adjusting my bedtime until I can awaken naturally in the morning. Only when you're awakening naturally are you getting all the sleep your body needs. You don't have to guess at how many hours you "should" get.
Besides, what we need changes. A stressful day, a little illness, sunlight, time of the month, all these things change what we need day to day.
Going to bed at the same time AND waking up at the same time is like feeding your body the same amount of food everyday without taking into account extra physical activity. It doesn't make sense.
Also, I let myself enjoy an activity (in bed) to make waking up a joy: listen to music, listen to a podcast or TH-cam creator, mentally list what I'm grateful for, lay there and watch the sunrise. It's "ME" time.
THEN I'll start my workout or whatever.
-Trust me. It's worth trying.❤
💯🤓💕 I love this! I used to do this, and I feel so much better when I wake up naturally in the mornings. Thank you for the reminder.
I'm all out of rhythm/schedule at the moment. I think I need two bedtime alarms. One about and hour before I want to be in bed, to remind me to start going to bed - potter/gentle clean up, shower, teeth etc. Then another maybe 15mins before I want to turn my light out, and actually go to sleep. I figure if I turn my light out about 9hrs before my back-up alarm goes off. That should allow me time to fall asleep, sleep, and wake up naturally before it goes off. And like you say - if I find I'm regularly still asleep when my back up alarm goes off, then I need to start going to bed earlier.
My husband and I both have alarm clocks nearly identical to the one you showed. The volume on mine recently broke (couldn't turn it down) so I finally broke down and use my phone now. My husband's is still on his nightstand though. Mornings are the best time of the day! Before I start working from home at 9 I've already been up for 4 hours exercising, eating breakfast, spending time with the dog, showering and getting ready. The older I get, the more I love mornings.
I get up early too. After taking care of the pets, I head out to walk a 5k every morning. I get my steps in, but it is also good thinking time, good audiobook time, and sometimes an opportunity to catch up with friends. If for some reason I don’t get my walk in during the morning, I will do it when the sun sets and it cools down. That hour always sets me up for a good day or a restful sleep.
My cronotype is so upset at the Miracle Morning and the lack of understanding that not everyone is designed for mornings. I also literally can't change my sleep schedule. I have teens. I have to pick people up from work anywhere from 10:30 to 12:30. I also need three hours to wake up in the morning and most of them have to be quiet thought and then into journaling and planning. I can't do anything physical in the morning.
I started reading the Miracle Morning and have worked to implement it in my day. My struggle is that I have 2 young boys, 2 and 5, and several times as soon as I get out of bed (at 5:30) they also decide that they need to get up. This has made waking up early less enjoyable because my routine is getting constantly interrupted. I am going to keep trying though!
I have always been a morning person. Being born in the winter I have never had an issue with getting up when it's dark outside but the summer can sometimes have the opposite effect. I do set an alarm for 4:30 a.m. but always wake up at least fifteen minutes before it goes off. On the weekends my body naturally wants to wake up around 3:45 a.m. I love an early start. I have warm lemon water, meditate, do affirmations, workout, take care of my plants, have a healthy meal, go for a walk and maybe even do some housework/laundry. Most importantly, I'm always in a positive mood and feel good throughout the day.
That’s incredible! Sounds like the ideal morning routine ✨👏✨
Being born in winter has nothing to do with it. I have summer kids and friends who are morning people and I was born in winter and I'm NOT a morning person.
I love this. I’m a morning person. Sleeping in is 5:30. Hahaha. (I was born in December. Never thought about that affecting sleep cycle. I thought it was just because I was peculiar. I just know I’m high energy in the morning.)
Wow this is wild to me!! I’m struggling to wake up at 8:30… can I ask what time you go to bed?
If you had an iWatch, you could set it so the alarm taps you! No sound. It’s super cool.
I am retired, and a morning person. I wake up naturally around 6:30. I don’t miss the 5am early mornings of my working years, however I do need to smarten up my morning routine. Good tips in your video Marissa. Plus I also follow Ariel, she is hilarious.
I love that you change places during the video. It makes it livelier. Nice tips as well! I watched Ariel’s video and it’s hilarious.
I always loved the 5 am swim practices. Now our son wakes at 4, so we have a nice quiet breakfast and get ready for the day.
I LOVE that you and Ariel did this. THANK YOU! :)
Thanks for watching 🤗
I’ve been wanting to get into a routine of waking up earlier. This video is definitely inspiring! Thanks Marissa! ❤️🤗🙏🏻
I like that you influencers reach out to each other . Ariel, The Awkward Mom following your 30 day 5AM wake up challenge is why I am watching this now. ❤
Love Ariel and happy to have you here! 🙏😁
Love That awkward Mom. Good collab!

Wow! I so need this, I've been hating myself for not taking the opportunity to get up earlier ❤
This could be the sign ✨ to get started!
No hate, Sabrina! 😊 Just patience with yourself. ❤
What a match you two! Thank you for the valuable input! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
I have been trying to wake up earlier in the last few weeks and it worked pretty well. Now I only have to get the routine down. I'm really happy to hear you say that your husband wanted nothing to do with waking up early, it made me relate more and feel like I was less alone in my decision
For 30 years I had to get up between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. for my job as a hospital nurse. At the same time I struggle with sleeping because I have had insomnia since I was a child. Now that I'm retired I still want to get up early but I find it extremely difficult. I'm usually out of bed by 7:30 but that still seems too late. One question for you. When do you shower? That's the biggest time expense in my day because my hair is straight like yours! Requires high maintenance so it takes me a couple of hours to shower and dress every day. I really appreciate your video though it was very helpful ❤❤c
There is no need to wash your hair every day, actually it's better not to. Every 3-4 days is better for the hair itself. Also, I don't wash my hair when I shower, I do it separately, usually after work in the evening.
Your night lights are adorable 💙 I'm not a natural morning person, so I've found batch prepping a healthy breakfast night before is so helpful! I add light to the room slowly & gently, forcing myself to be in a bright space is too jarring for me personally! 😅👁🌞
Last one is really helpful. Me and my friends are doing this
Great challenge! Loved all the tips and seeing Ariels video and reactions as well! 😊
Love this video, my problem is trying to get to sleep at night.❤
It's the same for me too, I have trouble going to sleep so I sleep late and then everything is out of balance.
The gray hooded snuggie looks soft, warm, and comfortable for wintery cold mornings. I will be on the lookout for something similar. I'd like to add light standing exercises into my morning routine...in my small heated bathroom. At 76, getting up off the floor isn't easy. Being retired, I usually get up at 7:30 am without an alarm...but I like that vibration phone alarm idea.
I linked it in the description box above ☝️FYI

Miracle morning - the one I’m challenged with most is visualization. You can write down your affirmations in a journal, then say them to double dip.
I read Miracle Morning years ago and tried to implement a morning routine, but in my stage of life I was in with a toddler, it just didn't happen. My son is older now and I have a pretty good "before school" morning routine with the both of us while my husband still sleeps. However, it may be time for me to enjoy some alone time to get my exercise in and a few housekeeping tasks before my son wakes up and we get ready for school and I head to work. Thanks for the video. I also follow Ariel and watched her video. I enjoy your collabs together.
I so look forward to Your posts. You just make all the difference in my week !😊
Great video - I love @ThatAwkwardMom. - Put the book on my library hold.
Thanks so much for this video. I also subscribed to your friend's TH-cam channel, too. I am NOT a morning person though my M-F day job requires me to wake up earlier. I actually need more time to ease into my day, than the time it actually takes me to get ready. I appreciate all suggestions to make this less painful. 😊
A ninety pound black lab is an amazing alarm clock and walking coach. It could be the neighbors' roosters (yes multiple of both) encouraging him, but maybe just his internal clock.
A bad case of tendonitis (me) put a damper on things, but we're getting back to our routine.
Thanks for the motivation! Love that snuggly grey...??? wearable blankie???

My husband gets up at 6.30am and lets our dog our. When he (dog) comes back in, he races up to my bed to sleep again. He usually stirs again at about 9am and thats my cue to get up. I love our sleepy time in the mornings. ❤
before I got into coffee I used to wake up naturally at 6am (probably because of when my parents put me to bed) but I came to really love the quiet of morning hours. Recently when I quit coffee and started drinking Teeccino I find I can once again wake up early, naturally, go running before dawn - I love it
I’m a morning person for sure. Even so, at times I find myself grabbing for my phone and scrolling before even getting out of bed. Talk about starting your day off on the wrong foot!
On another note, I recently watched your video about Minimalism and Toys. I’d love to know what your boys are currently into, since by now they have probably outgrown those toys. Can you do a video about this?
The plant in your opening shot, I have that! 😂👏🏻
Great video! Also, I love your wearable blanket (if that’s what it’s called?). I don’t think I’d ever be able to take it off if I had one!
I linked it up in the description box - it’s the biggest one I could find!
No good on cold water. Slows down digestion. Warm water.
Warm water with lemon. Yummy ❤
No cold water in the morning. Drinking room temperature water is better! Thanks for all the tips.
My Chinese husband says the same thing…he’s appalled that I drink cold water 😅
our clocks just changed by 1 hr....good tip to use your '10 mins earlier to bed for awk' to change your routine by an hr, i shuda dun that last wk, in prep 4 today xx
Thank you, the tips are really helpful. I would like to add to the glass of water, I hate cold water in the morning, my body always starts freezing, except it is 30 C outside - and that is not so often even in summer- , so I prepare an insulated can and have warm water, so being able to stay relaxed . The quote of Jim Rohn I like best. These routines you do remind me of the 5 tibetan Moves, if so, I can assure you that turning left side (where normally your heart is) round is even more helpful and nourishing - I learned that from a Sufi Master-. So, again manay thanks and thriving life!!!
New subscriber here, came over from Awkward Mom. Love your channel and have watched several videos already. Starting the challenge tomorrow. I don’t sleep well as it is so hoping this will help auto correct it. ☺️
I wake up at 4 for my job most days. And - yes, i’m super groggy for the first couple hours, but coffee is a magical thing!
Before i watched Ariel's video I did think 'wow are my house organization and time management TH-camrs all getting the same ideas at the same time?!' but no it was totally planned which makes more sense 😅
These are both great videos that complement each other well - this one gave me great tips to get started and Ariel's motivated me to give it a try because I am NOT currently a morning person.
Luckily our daylight savings finishes very soon so the mornings won't be so dark (sun isn't rising until after 7am right now, and we don't live in the Arctic!!)
Ariel is wonderful and it was so great to do this challenge together - good luck with finding a morning routine that works for you! 🙏
Thank you so much!!! I am excited to rest! I really need this today! ❤
I’m feeling so called out by this video and I’m only a few minutes in 😅
It’s okay, I’ll help you 😜
Thank you very much! Can you make a Video about your evening Routine too? Actually I´m struggling with this right now very much, but I will try to adopt some of your points to my "go to sleep routine" PEACE
I think the idea of getting up early also depends on your stage in life. I got up early my entire working life to be at work by 6:30 AM because I hated getting off work at 5 PM. One of the first things I did when I retired was remove my alarm clock from my bedroom I get up these days at about 8 AM which works fine for this retired person who doesn't need to get up and who has all day to do everything. I think the video is really interesting and I think at your stage of life it probably works out well for you, but I can tell you it's not gonna happen for me.
I have ADHD and have difficulties getting to sleep. I saw a video by psychiatrist Dr Tracey Marks where she recommended to take low dose (0,1-0,3 mg) of melatonin 4 hours before going to bed. I bought liquid melatonin and take only one drop (whereas the normal dose would be 10 drops=2mg) and by 10-11 pm I'm already asleep. So this way at 7 in the morning I'm fully awake. Naturally I wake up at 9-10 and go to sleep at 12-1 at night, but I find that when I do this I become more depressed, so waking up earlier makes me somehow more stable. But I have to say that I work from home and I have free timetable.
I wear a Fitbit that wakes me up in the morning by vibrating on my wrist. It doesn't make a noise on the nightstand. Maybe that will be helpful 😊

I wake up 3.30am every day and those 1st few hours of the day are priceless. I use it to walk and doing my gym workout, sometimes cleaning up my house.
After work I'm able to just rest and recharge my batteries.
Been a morning person all my life, but I have no doubt anyone can learn this if willing. I guarantee, peace and the beauty of sunrises is worth effort❤
But other side of this is that if you ask me to do something after 5pm, the answer is no😂
Wow! This episode speaks to so many of us. I am so grateful you did this ❤.
Now I am headed to town to get a "Snuggly Robe" 😊
I have a lot of indoor plants. I set them on night light which is mostly blue light for the evening and night. Is this the same as when you say “blue light” is bad at night??
I mean I have insomnia and take sleeping pills as it is, and only got these plant lights in November but now I wonder if it is making my sleep worse.
Thanks!
I’m sorry, i can’t find the link to the video of your gentle exercise routine. Could you point me to that please? Great video!!
Sorry about that, here it is! th-cam.com/video/y_nGNNBpzKI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=li4lE4ZXW8DmpIJa
I enjoy waking up when the sun gets up. Although I have a toddler, so we are up bwtween 5:30am and 8am reguardless of how great or crap the night was.
I've had this alarm clock since the '60s and it's still in use on my desk which is located outside my bedroom, and so there's no way to hit a snooze button. Unfortunately with my job, sometimes I have to get up at 5:00 and then give myself 30 minutes to wake up and continue working on my "homework" from my job the day before. When you have many times 15-plus hour workdays, nothing in life is really normal except never getting enough sleep.
I still have that alarm. It’s unplugged…never could stand that sound. 😁
Oh man, I never wake up groggy. I hate the idea of it just hearing it. I woke at 4 AM today but really was hoping for my usual 5:30 (the baby wasn't having it). Most all of this info I knew already, as an early riser since I was 7, but I hope that many people will see the benefits you have shared with them! It must be awful to have a chipmunk sized bladder! I am sorry about that.
I love how much I get done in my day by waking early.

I have to be at work at 6 am 😢 I have no choice but get up at 4:30 am. I have a really hard time falling asleep before 10 pm, even if a go to bed by 9 pm 😢 I'm always tired, frustrated, and can't perform as I would like to 😢
I got up at 3:30am. So far it's been a very productive morning.
Everyone has a different rhythm. I was always more a night owl than an early morning person.. working well until 3am when younger... but
Then menopause hits! With insomnia and hot flushes...add in depression, anxiety and you are tired all the time...because you dont get good sleep.. which continued from having kids (I was a "geriatric" mum).
I wake up at 0630 (to get out the house at 0715 to get kids to school at 0745 and work by 0830). Feel like death. Usually manage 6-7hrs broken sleep.. often awake 0200-0400... usually after 3-4hrs sleep.
Going to sleep is never my problem ..in bed 0930-10pm..and asleep by 10-1030. ..it is staying asleep that is my issue due to the above. But sometimes its later if i need to do some work as prep for the next day.
I prefer sport in the evening before shower and bed... not mornings... although i do love early morning walks.
I wake up early and go out for a walk immediately after morning ablutions. Thoreau was right!
Where did you get your bed frame from? Its so gorgeous!
It came with the rental 👍
I've always gotten up early when I was younger and still feel great with it once I am up. But my problem is definitely lazyness and sleeping too less. Even though both are easy to fix problems I am still struggling with getting up early and watching all these videos in hopes for a magical solution😂
when I stop working shift job, I was promising myself, that I will be sleeping every day till 6. It wasn't long, when I started wake up at 5 to exercise. And now... now I wake up at 3:30..... cause I keep company to my friend in Ramadan time. So......
Ok I’m happy to hear I’m not the only person who doesn’t vibe with journaling 😂
I try to get up before 8AM every day. I call that getting up early. I did get up at about 7 for a few days, but I still have trouble going to sleep before midnight.
I need a video on how to have a lie in. I can have the latest night, be as tired as a dog and yet every morning between 5-6:30 (6:30 if I’m lucky) I’m awake. The only exception to this is if I’m poorly and then occasionally I might make it to 8. Sometimes I just want to sleep in! 😫
I’m wondering if you (or anyone reading this ) can help me with a particular challenge that I have regarding getting up early. I readily see the benefits of it and right now in my life I need it more than ever.
However, I am a registered nurse and I work the 3 PM to 11 PM shift. Even if I get out on time, which I usually don’t, I’m not even getting home until 11:30 PM and I find it difficult to go immediately to sleep so it is typical for me to not even go to sleep until two or 3 AM. And worse, Because it’s so late at night and the rest of the world is already sleeping. I tend to just find it very easy to slump on the couch and binge watch TH-cam videos and I often end up falling asleep on the couch and waking up on the couch, which is another very bad habit.
I guess my question is number one. Does anyone who might work shifts have any advice on what helps you get to sleep earlier? And also do you think that the miracle morning routine is still effective even if you can’t get up anywhere close to 5 AM. Like if I can’t fall asleep until 3 AM, I would have to sleep until 11 AM just to get eight hours which I definitely am someone who needs eight hours.
Right now and in this time of my life, it would be difficult for me to change jobs so I’m hoping to find some tips and adapt the routine to my own schedule because I am in a wicked bad slump and I really need to get back on track and feeling better about myself.
Thank you again for your video and anyone’s feedback would be welcome.❤
We still have that same exact clock on our nightstand.
😂
good video!
thx for the links
Hey Marisa did you get that wool slippers from Lotta? I love mine for three years now and they still look like new
you are a very nice person thank you for sharing! btw your house is so clean its a little concerning actually haha
We are a minimalist family 😉
To all the people who are against the early mornings...early mornings are great for some of us because we have children who wake up early and our moods and day can go so much better when we have that time to ourselves before our children wake up! If 5am doesn't appeal to you then I don't see why you watched this (or That Akward Mom's) video. If you just came for the tips then quit complaining about the time. Why do people feel the need to post their negativity? If this doesn't work for you it's okay, they're suggestions for those who may benefit from them.
Morning Prayer to God, Too!
100000% correct
Sorry, ai know this is not a fashion channel but I love what you are wearing in this video? Where did you get it from? Sending lot of ❤️
Sometimes I have to remind myself, that I am not a less productive person if the mere idea of exercising before 8-9 am gives me nausea and that I do NOT miss out if I wake up at 8. My miracle hour is 10-12pm, lets normalize that.
These tips are not for people with irregular or nonexistent schedules, who have severe problems waking up with 10 alarms let alone vibrations and so. This is targeted to people who want to wake up at 7:30 and now are waking up at 6:30 or 5, not for people who really struggle with mornings.
Well doesn’t this video seem to come at the right time…
Hope it helps ☺️
Really helpful and nice video! I was wondering if i can help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them.
Does this hinge on the fact that you sleep well at night? Because I don’t a lot of the time so getting up early would be very hard for me.
If you cant sleep at night, tgen you need your sleep in the mornings. Take it when you can get it. 🎉
And then there are the Southern Europeans (I'm Italian but I'm sure Spanish people can relate) that have dinner at 8 or 9 (or later) and need to wait at least until 11-12 to digest and go to bed, but still have to be at work at 9.
I am lucky because I can be in the office anytime between 8 and 10 (still need to work all my hours, so if I get in at 10 I work until 7 pm - we have 1 hour lunch break that is compulsory). Before Covid I used to wake up at 6:30, but working from home for almost one year let my body wake up more naturally at 7:30-8. Then I had to go back to working in the office, I had to add back my 1-hour commute, but I could not put my waking time back to 6:30, the alarm is set at 7 at the moment. No way I could ever get up at 5 😂
It’s not for me! I can’t do 5am, I feel so tired by about 3pm, I need a nap!
I don’t have kids at home and no longer need to get up at a specific time for work. However, I have 2 dogs that insist that I get up around 6 am every morning to let them out. My challenge is getting to bed at a reasonable time so I get an adequate amount of sleep.
Can you not go back to bed after they have been out for a while? My dog comes with me and we get another couple of hours at least.
What chapstick do you use?

Welcome 🤗
What are those night lights from?
Hell to the no...if I'm going to alter my whole routine when I really don't want to he can too. I'm turning that ringer ALL the way up. He can do it too...
I'm retired and I wake up normally at 7am but my husband sleeps until 9am. Normally, I just read until he wakes up because I don't want to wake him up but I also like the time to read undisturbed.
However, I since I am retired the most important thing for me is to not let the day get away from me so I plan out my day.

I wake up at 4 am every day and go to bed at 11:30 pm every day, for almost 25 years. I take 2-3 ten minute naps throughout the day and I wondered why people in my family always wasted so much time sleeping, until I recently discovered something called “short sleep genes”. They’re still being studied but it gave me a better perspective on other people’s struggles with sleep…
