      The thing is humans are pre disposed to either be early risers or late sleepers. It may stem back to someone been up at all times to watch the camp/hut/village as has been suggested but I think its just one of those things you're born with. Myself and my daughter can easily stay up late and are happy to have a sleep in, my wife ,however, is sleepy at 8pm but can rise easily in the morning.

    Buy one of those old school “hammer and bell” alarm clocks if you have trouble waking up. I had a terrible time waking up on time in the mornings. Bought one of those on Amazon for like $10. It’s terrifying and makes you jump out of bed. I hate it so much that now my phone alarm (which I set for 15-20 minutes earlier) wakes me up.

      No its not about the alarm, but waking up and going to bed at the same time every day, and when you have been waking early at the same time for a month, you will hardly need to set alarms any more, i have an alarm set to 7 am every morning, but i wake up on my own every time. its about habbits, not just waking up when the alarm rings.

    • @jdottdeestv8149
      @jdottdeestv8149 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@00Spedmeg00 Not everybody can goto bed at the same time every day. And some peoples body clock is non exssistant. What if you have to get up at a time to which you do not normally wake? I to can envisage a time I'd like to be up and can guarantee I'll wake up within ten minutes of the time I would like to wake, providing an external source hasn't disrupted the patterns [which always happens because, unfortunately the majority of the human race are ignorant, self centred ass whipes] even as we speak I should be asleep, instead, I'm enjoying the dull thud of continuous, rhythmic bass. So therefore one may have to set an alarm to ensure arousal.

    Couldn't agree more, haven't had to have cold showers yet thankfully. For me it's painting pictures and writing poetry that gets me out of bed. When I am super tired I just do hobbies. But I have gone from a night owl to getting up at 5am everyday person and my only regret is waiting until I was in my 40's to do so. It gives my very life meaning, I have coffee in the plunger the night before and just heat it up in the morning and get to work on my projects. Of all the getting your act together techniques this is by far had the most results for me.

  • @limmeh7881
    @limmeh7881 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    1. Find your Ikigai - raison d'être, reason to live. If I had more time, what would I do?
    2. Prepare yourself for mornings. Have a routine for waking up and going to bed (prepare for the next morning)
    3. Avoid distractions when waking up. We get distracted by shit we shouldn't be focused on in that second.
    4. Self Discipline. Habits take a while to form, eg waking up early. Be consistent. 30 days divided into 3 phases, with different emotions to be expected. 1 - feels unbearable. 2 - uncomfortable but better. 3 - easiest phase.
    5. Go easy on yourself. Our brain likes gratification, so deal it to yourself. Forgive yourself for errors but fix them TOMORROW.
    6. Voluntary hardship. Constantly testing ourselves, eg cold shower.
    7. Accountability partner. Holding ourselves accountable to our commitments.
    8. Memento mori. Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
    9. Negative visualization. Rehearse negative scenes in our mind.
    10. Appreciate life. Be grateful for stuff and life.

I’ve suffered for 20 years or so, but it’s gotten worse since trump, and now even worse because I’m basically quarantined from society. Needing to have some tools to help.... we’ll I never even thought of looking it up, I just decided to live with it and overcome it on my own. But this sh0wed up on my home page a just the right time in my life. I suppose it’s the right time in many others lives who are surely going through the same thing. It’s 6:19AM now on the East coast of the usa and your advice is just what I needed. Thanks!

    There is another strategy I used in 2008 when I went back to work after a long absence and was worried I wouldn't wake up at the alarm. In the evening before going to sleep I would set the alarm to go off in a couple of minutes, then when it did sit up bolt upright in bed in reaction. Repeating this ten times was sufficient to train a response.
