I used to be a night owl and now I’m a morning person. My trick was to give birth to a daughter who is a morning person and who NEVER let me sleep in the mornings. A screaming baby is the best alarm 😂
Mulan 121 also the best robber of sleep
that sounds horrible.
So true, I don't have a kid, my baby cousin, 7 months SCREAMS his head off. He wakes up at 6 am I wake up 8 am from him, he screams especially at 8
At this point I really think thats what it's gonna take for me to be a morning person. Nothing else works!
This 😂
I tried being a morning person for over a year. I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 5am everyday. I realized I was able to be very productive in tasks such as paperwork, e-mails...etc. But I gave up and went back to being a night person because something was missing. I wasn't creating as freely as before and I didn't have as much inspirations. I'm a musician and my music didn't flow well. I went back to being a night owl and all my creativity blossomed again. Now I'm still a night owl... who wakes up early.
night owl who wakes up early?? how many hours do you sleep?
2-4 hours a night. I wake up at 6am to leave for work and I go to bed at around 3am or so.
petitsjoujoux omg😱😱don’t you feel sleepy af throughout the day??
Yes so I don't recommend this lifestyle xD...
petitsjoujoux haha ok
Me at 8pm:super hyped, making 35 alarms and schedules
Me at 10pm: crap I forgot to do math homework
Me at 1am:ok just one more season of riverdale
Me at 5am: why did I ever want to do this I’ve never wanted to sleep more
😂
I always get bursts of just really wanting to become a morning person and this just gave me another one! I'm really such a night owl but would love to feel more accomplished by getting things done early.
But what can you accomplish in the morning that you can't also accomplish at night? (besides eating breakfast, of course)
Madeline Elizabeth For me it's usually that once it's dark outside I feel like it's not worth starting a task anymore since the day is p much over, even if I stay up another 4 hours anyway. Also shops etc close at a certain time at night but would be open in the morning.
Luisa me too i get excited to wake up early for and then it lasts for 2 weeks then i go back to being a night owl, I’m a heavy sleeper and i loooove to sleep a lot like 13 hours long if i can, in the summer my family like to stay up late like all of us except my dad we get this from my mom she loves night time so you feel the house is alive from 8 pm and you don’t want to go to bed so I struggle to become a morning person
Maitha Aldaisi Oh yes it's the same for me! I can sleep really long so it's hard to get up if you can easily go 13 hours. But it's so sweet to have a reason to stay up like a lively family! For me it's usually that my friends and interests in other time zones start being active when I should be going to bed for an early morning.
Luisa maybe this should be your motivation, your friend’s time
I enjoy being up early when I go to sleep early but I feel like missing on the beauty of the night. I feel calm and peace at night, since most of the people are sleeping already. I also love taking night walks
Omg I feel that way too..its so calm and peaceful at night I love it
I love night walks too!
How about 5 days of discovering some foreign culture? I am Polish so my recommendation is obvious:
Polish culture, Poland :). One day could be about food, one day language, national dances, family bounds structure, how society try to preserve in different countries? Or maybe 5days of discovering different cultures (and then many of countries could be included). I think it can wide horizons and we can all learn sth different :)
Aneta Kmiećkowiak I’m polish also!
I agree! I’m Irish but find Polish language really interesting!
Aneta Kmiećkowiak filipino culture!
I think she already did something similar...🤔 I think it was getting back to HER roots cause she is Italian
It would be cool to do some other ones though, or five days of discovering five cultures
Hi lucie! I’m a morning person and really loved this. The other things I do when it’s tough to get up are count down from five and by the time it’s zero know I have to be up, set a second alarm two minutes after the first one and have a goal to accomplish by the time the second alarm goes off (such as make my bed or pick out an outfit), and lastly drink a big bottle/glass of water within a few minutes of getting up so my body wakes up faster.
+bridgethoward Thanks for sharing!!
I can be a morning person and a night person. I just talked to myself whatever I wanted to be. Thanks for this Lucie!
YES!!!
LUCKY
Me: *needs to sleep*
Brain: watch videos of morning routines.
Me: no. It’s 1:30
Brain:
Me:
Narrator: she is now watching videos of morning routines at 1:30 am. She has plans to use these tips. We are laughing at her.
THANK YOU for the closed captions. I know they cost you more but the auto generated captions are gibberish and it makes so much of a difference to so many people when we can read what you’re actually saying!! xx
My question is are you going to keep up with being a morning person? I am not, I wish I was a morning person. I have tried, works for awhile but always go back. Lol There is Something to our natural body clock. Great episode.
I am really hoping to keep it up. It's been about 2 weeks since I shot the episode and YES I've kept it up thus far!
Lucie Fink Hope you have a wonderful week, Lucie. Thank you for the inspiration. Isnt it funny how you dont see too many people on the "I wanna be more of a night owl"? 🤣
Im a morning person because my school start at 7 am and i have to wake up at 4 am because my school is far from my house
snootch Back oh my 4 am!!! I can't imagine!! lol So on the weekend getting up at 8 am would feel like a total sleep in!! haha good for you!!
Jen Drives A Jeep haha soo true!!!
Love this video❤️ I am trying to become a morning person for the month of August so when I wake up for school I won't be sleepy!
I'm not a morning person, but I'd like to be! I don't know how credible the sources that say it's unwise to change your body's natural rhythm are, but I don't quite think that's right. Despite being a night owl my whole life, I find that when I sleep and wake earlier, I feel so much more accomplished and better about myself, and the day runs smoother. When I'm sleeping late into the morning/afternoon, I feel pretty bad about myself when I wake up and I get nothing done. Waking up early is also my big goal!
try using a sleep calculator! just google sleep calculator and put in the time you wake up. it calculates 90 minute sleep cycles and gives you the best time to fall asleep to wake up without feeling groggy!😊
YES I've been doing this!!!
@Vanessa Kilpatrick I have used this, basically if you have to wake up at 6 am you put that in the sleep calculator and it will tell you times you should go to bed. The reason it works is because of the REM sleep cycle.
Hope that helped
@Vanessa Kilpatrick Np, happy to help 😊
I am a complete night owl. It kills me to wake up early... crabby appleton all day and could hardly stay awake by the time 8:00 rolls around on those rare occasions when I do have to get up early. Also believe if you're a morning/night person might be correlated to the time when you were born, morning/night, and I was born late at night.
What if you were born in the afternoon like me?
I'm a natural morning person. I honor that the way I am built is the best way to flow. I honestly dread the days I must stay up after 9pm. I wake up at no later than 6 am even if I have no reason to get up that early. I wake up full of sunshine and amazing.
What is the benefit of going against your body's way of being whether trying to stay up later or getting up early? I guess I am with that crowd who believes listening to our body and it's natural flow is important and most productive.
Thank you!! I feel like there has been a subtle cultural shame for night people lately. Getting things done when your body is ready to get things done is always going to be the best for your body and your emotional regulation.
I think so many people aim to get up early, even when their body's natural rhythm means they're more alert in the evening, is because the majority of business's require people to come in early. If work culture allowed people more flexible working times I think people would worry less about whether or not they're an early bird or night owl and just live and work in a way that suits them best.
I feel like if more businesses offered later shifts and this hired night people (like me!), everything would be much more productive. I’d much rather be working into the AMs instead of waking up at them.
Madeline Elizabeth I feel like this cultural shame stems not from the true night owls but people who stare at their phones all night and then claim it's their body's natural clock, a group of people that has grown in number as cellphone/internet/app use has increased. If you're productive at night, good on you, but most people aren't, even out of those who call themselves night owls. This is however from my personal experience with friends and family who call themselves night owls, and not actual data. I could be being biased.
I want to be like you, I never go to bed earlier than 3am, and I feel groggy all day when I go to uni. And in the vacations, I sleep at 6am 😂😂.
I need help
The best tip is to always wake up at the same time no matter how much sleep youve had. That way your body will naturally help you sleep earlier and earlier every night to catch up on any lost sleep!
hahaha thats exactly what my dad says...but i end up being sleep derived for the whole day
i’m a morning person! i feel like regularity in my sleep is very important, along with just being motivated for the day ahead!
I wake up at 6 every morning so I can have a 30 min run (this is a new habit) and work on my side hustle - I have an art shop that I need to create content for all the time! Then I still work a 50+ hour week, lol. I became a morning person out of necessity because I want to be able to make my artist dreams come true
Every single time a try living with lucie comes out I get irrationally excited
haha AWWW yay!
love this episode it’s exactly what i needed for the back to school season!
How about 5 days of no face products (cleanser, toner, moisturizer, makeup etc)
Tiffany M yessss
Already did no makeup.
Why do you want her to suffer
Hello Lucie !! I am a morning person always !! I might sleep on midnight and wake up easily on 7:30am !! A tip is to put my phone 📱 on flight mode and set an alarm with my favorite cheer up song!!! Love your show!!!kisses
I need to do this! lol
+sydneeleu Go for it! :)
Yes. I need this video as I have been TRYING to wake up earlier to be ready when my semester starts.
Adore this kind of content
watching Lucie and Michelle workout was the cutest thing ever like if you agree
What I'd love to see is 5 days of New York city! I'm travelling there in October and I'd love to know what hidden gems I NEED to see!
oooo what a great idea!
The timing for this is perrrrrfect, I move back to my dorm tomorrow and I needed to fix my sleeping schedule~
I've got to thank you, Lucie! I am so inspired by this series and I just made a list of things I want to incorporate into my daily life! Thank you so so much!
5 days of exploring different cultures in NYC and their community.
I would love to be a morning person.
I feel like if I am excited for the next day, I will tend to go to sleep later, because I can't wait for whatever the next day brings.
Lucie! I really love that you try all of these things and share your experience! I love sharing my experiences with other people too!
this video inspired me so much, i’m try to be a morning person as well and now i’m even more excited for it
great video! loved this :)
Can you please do 5 days of having a pet (dog) please!?!? I love your videos❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking of this one too! Maybe 5 days of fostering a dog or borrowing a friend's dog!
sarstarlet ikr it would be such a cool video!!
Yay another five days of try living with Lucy 💕💕💕
Loveddd this challenge! Seems simple, but I've been dying to do this as well.
Every time I see a Refinery29 upload I literally drop everything and watch it.
+amischerson That's what we love to hear!!
I love u sosooo much! U inspire me!
I honestly loved the idea of becoming a morning person, thought about it for too long, but then after watching your 5 days of waking up early episode and the quote about rising when the sun rises and setting when it sets, along with the quote from the other episode of 5 days of self-love about "set a clear intention/ purpose of the day", it honestly CHANGED MY LIFE, you made me MORE excited for waking up earlier than usual, and I NEEDED THAT for my day. I now also get my workouts done in the morning which is awesome. also honestly, Lucie, I became a die-hard fan of your 5-day challenges, keep'em coming, I eagerly wait for them, because you're the BEST TH-camr I know.
i'm Fatma, LOVE from EGYPT
THIS IS SOOOO SWEET. Thank you very much!!!!
I love mornings so much! I have always loved rising with the sun, it makes me feel so happy. Mornings are my prime time I guess, haha! The idea you had of opening your windows to let the natural sunlight in to help wake you up, is probably the advice I would give to anyone! I do think that some people naturally connect with mornings or evenings, so I don’t feel like there are any “tricks” unfortunately, but I think your video was very useful for people who want to get up earlier than they normally do! Love all of your videos, especially Try Living with Lucie, and have really enjoyed watching you killing it in your career right now! ❤️❤️❤️
I do the whole sleeping with my blinds opened so that when my alarm goes off I see the sunlight coming in and it totally motivates me to wake up, plus I have total fomo and can’t stsnd when other people are up and I’m still sleeping !
alyceamiller Wow, love that!!
Yes me too especially at sleepovers
I’m such a morning person and if I could give you a tip it would be this:
Drink a nice cup of coffee in the morning to get yourself in the mood, it helps you push through the groggyness
Love that!
what if you don't like coffee? :/
I would not recommend a cup of coffee because it is a appetite depressant etc. Let’s say that you sleep for 7 hour, that’s 7 hour of you not drinking any liquids which you need for your body to function properly most importantly your brain.
bb yoshi love matcha frappe
I also recommend drinkin gunpowder tea! 🍵
Every morning I look forward to sitting down and taking the time to drink my coffee and send emails. It's such a relaxing start to the morning, and I genuinely feel like I'm awake by time I get to my first class/meeting/shift.
I love you I forgot about the channel then I was looking who I was subscribed too then I found u and freaking am addicted to your personality and channel! :)
This was a lovely video. Very well executed.
+lillyannmena Thanks for watching!!
I am a morning person. What is my secret? I have a foxterrier 😂 he is so active. In the morning 1 hour walk before i have to go work. When I arrive home we go for 2 hours walk and after that we will go to the dog park playing with balls or he just come with me running. This is the secret. Get an active dog 😂😳❤️
Lucie, you should do a beauty routine video! Or more bullet journal videos!! Love them!!
The episode I needed the most!! I've been trying to be a morning person as well for sooooo looooong!!!
5 days of aruyveda! Saying this bc I think you were reading aruveda for dummies the first night and listening to her podcast :b
Lucie and Michael are such #relationshipgoals ❤️ ❤️
AHHHHHH LOVE THIS VID YOUR ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
This is super helpful to see someone that is in the same position as I am! This is really motivating for me and I'm gonna try it out this week!
love those pizza socks.
Hey Lucie your next video should be 5 days of drinking smoothies ♥︎♥︎♥︎
I am a morning person and wake up usually around 7 am. You are definitely right, Lucie, about having something to look forward to in the morning. For me, that’s a cup of coffee and a good book. I also love your alarm clock and want to get an old fashioned one instead of using my phone.
It’s exactly what I needed right now. Thank you ! 🌻❤️⭐️
The tip about scheduling something to look forward to is SO GOOD. I'm job-hunting right now so I definitely struggle to get out of bed in the morning when I feel like it doesn't matter if I go anywhere or do anything during the day. One question though: any tips for becoming a morning person when you share a living space? My husband and I have completely different morning routines and it's hard to mesh them!
+ 08.17.18:: I am not a morning person yet, but learning how to do it, gradually. I’m more like a night owl, but willing to change it up. Thank you Lucie for the inspiration to remind me. I wanted to know could you do 5 days of starting a blog? Thank you again. 💛
Thanks for this! You motivated me to keep trying to be a morning person I always wished to be. 💜
How you said you are motivated at night to get stuff done, that how I feel in the morning. Not all the time, but I think each day is a new opportunity to get started on the right food. Making sure that I get everything done early leaves me more time to relax in the afternoon or evening, and helps me to unwind from my busy day.
You should do 5 days of NO makeup bc everyone looks so much beautiful without it especially you ( well I mean you look pretty in anything) love you lucie!!!!
Sofia Frankie She already did this video!
YES - I did that episode already! Search for it on TH-cam and let me know if you like it!!!
She already made that video :))
I might try this, I think it may be a problem that I keep waking up around 12am
I really can relate with you! First video on organization, which I would really love to accomplish! And then, becoming a morning person. Now I feel empowered with some great tips on both! I also have a ton of crafting supplies that I want to organize. Sooo, Im getting off my phone and getting busy! Thank you, Lucy!
That morning workout date is such a cute and amazing idea! Of course waking up and going to do something with my significant other would make me super excited 💖
One thing I’m not is a morning person 🤣
5 days of listening to different kinds of music ?
Omg I love to seeing you Lucie!
I honestly love your videos so much 💝💝
I SWEAR by melatonin! I take 5 mg every night, since if I don’t my insomnia will keep me up all night. :)
Sameeee
melatonin really doesn’t work like that. it can’t fix insomnia. lots of people feels like it knocks them out, but its all a placebo affect bc people don’t understand how it works. it’s definitely helpful with jet lag but it doesn’t actually help with sleep in the way most people think it does
that's crazy cause yesterday i was like "lucie could do a video about waking up early or 5m'' and BANG here it's. Isn't that just crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy???????
+ruthfernandes YAS!!
HAHAHA HERE IT IS!!!!
Loved this video! Great inspiration
Great video once again! Definitely a morning person myself but when I'm not in a routine it's easy to stop waking up that early... For me early mornings feel like you are earning time when most people are still snoozing - but also you tend to have less notifications as distractions, so win win!
You should do five days of going gluten free!
hannah york yes plz!
5 days of acting as a parent
Yes that would be nice
Wasn't always a morning person, but since going to the gym VERY early in the morning i am now very much a morning person and i love it! i have time to work out which sets me up for an awesome day, i feel good and focused!! i also have time for a yummy breakfast, coffee, shower maybe even a little tv all before most people have woken up nothing feels better!!
I love this video so thank you, I want to also become a morning person. Also, your eyes look amazing!
5 days of living with different pets
Love you soo much you are soo sweet
I love that you actually showed you getting caught up at work! That’s so real
So real lol I was the last one here.
Such a great episode!! Thank you!
+talelrich Thanks for checking it out!!
5 days of speaking a complete different language
5 days of meeting fans (contact 5 fans and fly out and surprise them)
Nitya Patel I’d love to meet lucie
I love this idea lol
Nitya Patel ...and spending a day with them👌 super cute idea:)
I'm not a morning person at all!! But this video is motivating me so much! Thanks for that.
5 days of no phone charger!
So basically 5 days no phone, because Apple makes shitty batteries
Pure evil😂
Cheap Lazy Vegan did the 5AM challenge for a week 😃
I’m a serious insomniac due to having so much anxiety and paranoia (and past mental health issues like extreme depression) it’s come to the point where I won’t go sleep at all from days at a time. So.... new school year and going to try your techniques!
Chloe Porter hows it going 😁
I have been a morning person since I can recall memory, but these tips well come in great use because sometimes I can get a bit grumpy in the morning. love your work by the way.
I am never a morning person and can you do five days of magnetic earring it’s wired but I can’t get my ears pierced so my parents got me magnetic earrings and I am like I need to wear it and practice pls reply
As a woman who is almost 20 years old, I've never had mine pierced and personally don't want to ever do so. My mom tells me all the time she wishes that she had done it when I was a baby. Magnetic earrings and clip-ons are really great, just make sure your skin doesn't react to the metals and you should be okay. Some of them can be a little tight on your ears if they are tighter clasps. I suggest with clip-ons you make sure to check that there is a little barrier on either side to make sure it doesn't dig into your skin. If they don't have them you or your parents could take a small dot of hot glue on either side. Let it stay open til it's fully dried. For magnetic earrings, if you are afraid of losing the little magnets at all, you can actually have something that is metal to stick it to. I grew up with a bunk bed with a metal frame so I kept it on the side where I knew it wouldn't get knocked off. Hope this helps!
Sadenna Swafford thanks for your advice
Also i am not a morning person
Wow! Video couldnt have come at a more relevant time for me. Starting school soon and working on going to bed before 4 am, so its really cool how this video came out when it did.
YESSSSS
This hairstyle is perfect on you, Lucie. You look gorgeous! I love the bangs with the curls. You are my beauty icon 😍
Five days of being a mom..
5 days of no talking please!
Definitely agree 110% on having something to look forward to in the morning really helps with getting up in the morning. For me these past 4 months, I’ve been going to the gym in the mornings and I know this isn’t feasible for everyone but it has truly changed the way I approach my day and don’t have to fight at the end of the day after work with if I should go to the gym or not. Also it leaves me feeling like now I have more time for other people if I choose at the end of the day:)
Lucie, I am literally the same way. I honestly almost always feel so motivated to be productive like just before I go to bed.
This is why I love her shes so interesting and kinda funny too
