Whats the point of this. People wake up early to hustle, not paint their toenails

In the Army we have a saying. " We do more by 9am, than most people do all day".

kids are literally up dressed, fed and outside waiting for their bus at 5:45 am...

Jocko himself says waking up at 4:30 isn't the point, the point is having the discipline to do it every day, and then use that time for more discipline. Wake up, make your bed, exercise, eat, hydrate ,go to work. The discipline is the gift.

She’s acting like getting 7-8 hours of sleep is a chore lmao

I've been waking up at 4 a.m. since I was 15. Those early hours are the most peaceful the world is at.

I've been waking up at 4:00 am for the past 2.5 years and I'll say this much... I'm more productive than ever, confident, and accomplished. I couldn't turn back if I tried. Depression is gone as well. I love it and hope others can get on board to see the difference!

Emma: **is tired at 4:30 am** Jocko: "that's pretty unrealistic"

"I woke up at 4:30am for a run" and the sun was up already, are you in Alaska?

shes not doing the part where shes GOES TO BED EARLY.

I am at a point in my military life where 6 hours of sleep is a lot.

I only clicked on here to say, Navy SEALs aren't the only ones who get up at 4am. I did it for years just for work.

“Like a Navy SEAL” pretty much everyone in the service does this...

Navy Seals arent the only people who are up early, people who actually have jobs do this.

This is actually a detriment if you're single and dating. I used to wake up at 5am and 1 chick literally stopped talking to me because I went to bed "so damn early".

So she woke up every morning.. almost like she had a job! This is cutting edge entertainment right here!

The point is to learn self-discipline and making time for yourself. You have to find what works for you!

So your tellin me.... That 5 days = a week

Try that here in Scandinavia where I am from, especially during fall and winter. At 4:30 AM it is pitch black and the sun will not rise until 7:30 AM. If you go out at 4:30 AM it is like being out in the middle of the night. Not a single soul, car or bird in sight but this constant darkness for five months straight. I need to eat D vitamin pills during that period to just simply stay alert.

Waking up at 4 is fine for beginners, Jocko. Staying up until 4 is for the true studs.

There's 2 kinds of people: morning people and night people. The biggest difference between these 2 types, I find, is that morning people tend to be superior about it. You'll be coming down to breakfast on a Saturday morning at 9 AM and they'll greet you with a sanctimonious, "Good afternoon!" I think the key is to find your own best rhythm and work with that.

A week like a navy seal? Then she said doing a puzzle, doing my nails etc. Yeah i think that is what they are doing

Sees a rat and a duck in the city “wow look at all this wildlife”

I woke up 2.30 its very common in if you work in California and specially in bay area sector and if you skip wake up alarm then face 4 hours traffic

7:50 that I'll never get back.

How can I wake up at 4:30 if I go to sleep at 5?

This is just like pre heat the oven before putting the cake inside. She preheats the oven but doesnt have the cake and says preheat doesn't work.

When i worked from home, i realized it is hard to concentrate on my work because of too many distractions. So i decided to wake up super early to do my work when everybody else was still asleep. Loved it, coz no other people asking me for help in the midst of my work. Very productive. Well, on some days it got quite boring when there was not much work to do.. Then there was my husband who's so annoyed that our sleeping and waking up time became so different. He couldnt understand my point at all and thought i was crazy Eventually i am not doing it anymore. Gone back to my messy lifestyle..

Well I go to bed at 3am and get up at 12 pm.

If she didn't go to bed at 8pm then she didn't do it properly. We want to see what it's like to go to bed early and rise early and see the results. I have had short periods of time where I would go to sleep at 9pm and wake at 5am. I was way more productive. But somehow it's hard to discipline myself to go to sleep that early. It's the going to bed early part that's hard.

Sleep at 10pm. Wake up at 4:30 am. 5 am out of the door and into the mountain.

Going to sleep at 8pm!?! Thats nuts there's still so much you could do from 8-12.

I used to do polyphasic sleeping and slept 3 hours per night until 2 AM, then have 2x30 min naps during the day. At that time, I was thinking of how Jocko needs to step up his game but that kind of sleep deprivation isn't healthy long term. Sleep is essential and depriving yourself of it literally takes years off your life

only works if you have something to do

I wake up at 3 am to work 4 to 1 pm shift then part time trainer at a local gym 3 to 9 pm. I need to support my wife who has health issues and of course my two kids. Pay the mortgage, bills and cars. That's my life no complains so far lol just keep on grinding! 💪🏽

So I wake up at 5:30 ever since I left my job (now in my own business). There are few points in this video which is practically wrong or is incomplete we can say. 1- You do not have to loose your sleep, 6 hours or somewhere between 6-7 hours is enough. 2- Sleeping & waking up is a kind of training for any body, it will take more than a month to understand that everyone can do it.1 week is just not enough for judging. 3- You do not have to find things to do, u can always plan ahead & even if you don’t have any thing, then entertaining yourself is not bad in my personal opinion. Sometimes when I don’t go to the gym I wake up & watch movie or a series, just like people do at night before sleeping.

Why do they all say “Navy SEAL” literally most branches of military wake up at that time

Don't see the big deal. I wake up 4 AM and go to bed around 11 pm. I did it since 1985. Had two jobs and I did it in the Marines. I have a Mt Dew in the morning. I hate coffee. You get use to it. One week isn't enough time to adjust. SEALs are not the only service we're sleep is a luxury. Everybody sleeps in after hard day now and then. For me, it’s Sunday. Former USMC Sgt 🇺🇸

Early mornings are most beautiful, its just something special, when your doing it for years you'l get a bit angry and annoyed by it sometimes, beacuse plenty of people is still in bed sleeping, but really when you take a bit time off you then see how valuable they were, that moments in winters when you are freezing your ass up and waiting for a train with just a couple of people that you see everyday, that beautiful dawns in the fields, empty cities and much more other things that are unique to you. So more beautiful than having a few hours more of sleep.

My cat wakes me up at 6 am every day. She touches my door and the sound of her nails on the wooden door is pretty loud so I wake up.

Unless you are working out all day by doing endless amounts of pushups, flutter kicks, boat carries, lot PT, running over 10 miles a day (at least), swimming in the cold pacific, and doing countless other activities, it has nothing to do with SEALs.

Thought this was buzzfeed for a bit

It’s not waking up early it’s about being productive throughout the day. Wake up and be productive. Don’t need to wake up at 4am

I’m waking up at 3-4 am daily basis and it’s so helpful for me that I complete many of my task before my parents woke up. Fell like I have more than 24 hrs in a day.

“I know that’s not gonna happen but I’m gonna try” her mindset is all wrong 😅🤦🏼‍♂️

if you are waking up at 430am then lunch wouldn't be at noon.......just saying

Watching this at 6 in the morning.... And I'm sleeping now... Good night 😂

I don’t think people are understanding the point of this video. Yes, there are many different workers that have to wake up early for their job. She does not have to be up until 8am to do her job. But she is getting up 3.5 hours earlier to see how productive she can be before work starts. If a farmer (or any other worker) has to be up at 4:30am to begin working, it would be like them getting up at 1am to see what they can do before they start their real work.

I was in military school for 6 years and literally had to follow this 4:30 am crap except for the weekend. And now I'm close to finish my med school; leading a life where sleeping itself is almost a myth. From my experience and knowledge one thing I can assure you - waking up at 4:30 am doesn't make you productive or energetic. What makes you feel like that is sleeping at least 6-7 hours without any interruption; a healthy food habit with lil amount of workout every single day. That's the secret. If 4:30 am was the secret of being more productive than every soldiers would have been a millionaire by now; no offense.

"Going to bed by 8Pm"........ First day she tried waking up at 4:30Am she goes to bed at 9:42 PM 😶 she already begins with a false start.

The first one or two weeks are hard. On the first few days most people will be like "This is easy! I can do that every day!", but after a couple of days it will get harder. Partly because of sleep deprivation, partly because people tend to forget why they're doing it in the first place. At this point many people will say "I need my sleep and getting up at 8 am isn't so bad after all." - but ultimately these are excuses for giving up. Don't do that. Pull through - eventually it will get better as your body will accustom to the new sleep cycle. Also, it doesn't have to be 4:30 am. Find out a time which makes the most sense to you to accomplish all your morning goals and then stick to it - even on weekends.

For the people who think it is silly to wake up this early: waking up is just a part of it, it is your frame of mind which changes your productivity. If you have enthusiasm then you will be productive. Just waking up at 4 30 in the morning for no apparent reason and saying, "I hate this so much" on a run is the WRONG frame of mind. Please save your sleep if it's just to get up. However If you wake up at 4 30 in the morning and have an attitude for a good day, each task becomes easier and more fun to complete. IT IS A FRAME OF MIND.

My mom wakes up 3:30 am everyday to cook for my father who wakes up 4:30 am before going to work. They both go to bed at 9 pm. I think this is kind of true.

Why is this even a video? Most people who work A REAL job or some that go to school do this.

It wasnt waking up "like a Navy Seal" if no was SCREAMING AT YOU!!! 😂😂😂

I don’t even need an alarm. I wake up at 4:30 automatically and hit the gym. Going to bed at 8pm

People with real jobs wake up at 4 or 5 already.

I stopped watching when she said “I will try to go to bed by 8pm” 😂😂

How about rather than noting the suck, you embrace it. Rather than having 4:30 wake up be you goal, aim for being a better human badass, and understand that early wake up is a step to achieve that.

I aint no navy seal or even in the military, but i wake up at 4 am everyday for work and i hate it honestly, respect to those guys and anybody in the military

8pm bed and 4:30 wakeup? Piss easy, that's plenty of sleep...

I thought this was business insider not BuzzFeed

I usually wake up at 4:00am to drink coffee outside. I just sit down on the balcony and wait for the sunrise.

There is no point waking up early if you dont need to. Guys everyone have their own lifestyles. For you sleeping at 1am til 10am works best other midnight til 6am. Dont get caught up in other peoples lives.

You poor girl. How did you manage? Try doing it everyday, working 60+ hours a week, & raisings kids.

Couple of points. Doing this kind of thing for a week isn't going to yeild much results. I used to never be able to get up early, but I spent bout a month getting up at 6:30 and now, I get up at 6:30 even on the weekends. #2 Jocko even states it's less about the 4:30 and more about having a hard wake up time that you stick to everyday. Jocko says he goes to bed around 10-11 and still gets up at 4:30, but not everyone can survive off 6 hours of sleep. If you need 8, sleep 8, but keep a hard schedule. Finally, once you keep a hard schedule, you'll tend to find that even when you go to bed later than usual, you'll have deeper sleep and wake up at the same time, feeling rested.

Been doing it for a year now, thanks to high school, i believe the benefits from waking up early are increased willingness to do work, more efficient and quicker thinking, more time and well, is very fulfilling 😎👍

I usually woke up 3AM, to do Prayer, and it's usual to me

Great video buzzfeed, i mean insider

SEAL's aren't the only ones who wake up at 0430. I was plain old Army and 0430 was the norm.

"I Woke Up At 4:30 a.m." Every high school kid: "Amateurs"

Such a thing to be sustainable it demands: 1) sleep really early 2) have a specific reason / a goal 3) establish it gradually not suddenly from sleeping at 04 to waking up at his time. Do this and you can achieve it

4:48 Ball play with foot = kickball. Ball play with hands = football. America....

What kind of Nazi gym doesn't open until 6 am?

You should rename this video. “I woke up at 4:30 am like people with normal jobs.”

As a Teacher, this is ‘Normal’ to me to wake up at 4:30am. hehehe

I love waking up at 330am and being one of the few drivers on the road. I feel like I own the world.

I have no point in waking up that early I live in the middle of nowhere with no life

I see that many people here are like, what did she do productive? Like people, you do realise that it's for people who have NEVER done this before. It's not about doing 'amazing' things like workout. The first step is to just detach yourself from that warmth of your bed and the comfort of 'going to get more sleep'. Before training the body, it's about the mind. The one second, right after you open your eyes at hearing the alarm, where you want to go back to sleep, but you fight, is what matters. Everybody can go thousand of miles, the struggle is to overcome the mind saying that you can't at the starting line. So even if she painted nails, or ran for 6 minutes or sta in bed for an hour after she woke up, for the first week, SHE WOKE UP AT 4.30. The next step will come. The ups and down will come. That's the beauty of it. But she woke up and she tried. That what we should take away. I see many people here saying what did she even do. It's not about doing. Doing comes later. Firstly it's about realising that you can do it. I saw this video and it reminded me of my own struggle when I was trying to maintain a fix routine and negative thoughts would come in my head that I can't. So I took it easy. Step by step. Wake up. Sit. Think. Minute by minute. Step by step go out of your comfort zone. Nobody became a hot shot early morning riser in one go. It takes time and dedication. So take your time training youe mind. And do at your pace. Cheers to all who are trying. May the early morning sun or darkness be with you and may the dew of the morning brings you the peace that we all are after! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼

I feel that because circadian rhythm varies from person to person, some people just aren't meant to wake up at such early times. When my job changed from 7am start time to 5am, I woke up at 4:30am 5 days a week from March 2019 up until February 2020 when I quit, and as much as people told me I'd get used to it, I didn't. At first, I thought this would be great since I would get home earlier and have more time to do the things I had to do or liked doing, but that was definitely not the case. I would get home much more tired and it was much harder to study that way. 11 months of waking up at 4:30am and I never adjusted to it. It felt so unnatural and I was honestly miserable. I feel that whether people are early birds or night owls, they should embrace it rather than try to change the sleeping patterns they're already used to cause considering the fact that people should sleep for about 8 hours, we'd still have the same 16 hours to be productive, but I understand if waking up early makes people feel more productive, cause I know I feel productive when I naturally wake up early once in a blue moon.

how does this even compare to being a navy seal or any type of military, shes not getting up to run drills, shes getting up to do average things

This girl is soo complainy and depressing

I started with waking up at 5:50, then 5:30 and now im at 5:00. Its getting better and better

Wake up 4:15, shower, get dressed, out the door 4:50, start work at 5:30. Off work at 4:00. Home 4:45, work in garage/outside till 8:00, relax/watch tv till 10:00-10:30. Sleep/wake up 4:15.

Navy Seals don’t wake up at 4:30. Jocko Willink does.

That's nothing I stay up to 4:30am everyday

I've never understood how people can wake up at 0600 and be at work by 0630. I feel like crap whenever I try that

Waking up and doing your nails just like a navy seal in Fallujah would…

I'm a student and everyday I always wake up at 4:30 am and arrive at school on 6:00 am. That's Philippine education.

I am watching this at 430am

Most civilians live a coddled life until they die. In prehistoric times, you would have to overcome extremely difficult things just as a rite of passage to be considered a human being in your tribe. Nobody goes through something like that anymore

In my primary till high school days, we have to wake up at 5 am, get ready and wait for school bus to come at 6 am. Must reach school before 7.15 am. The class starts at about 7.30 am. so getting sleep at around 10pm is a must, or else will get very very tired, brain fog and just cant concentrate. At those days, I am living the healthiest lifestyle ever. Everyday waking up before 6 am, sleeping before 11pm, walk a few kilometres to get on the train to tuition centre, at school too, i like to walk very fast, brisk walk, so that’s a daily workout for me already. But now, im in university already, so often i am a night owl, doing assignments, more and more stress coming in, more and more responsibilities on my shoulders, sometimes i skip workout and be lazy.

Just so you know. Your Starbucks baristas wake up around 4:00 am for work since most open at 5:00 am. This only seems to really be valid if you are still working an approximate 9:00am - 5:00pm job.

I started getting up at 5:30AM everyday, and it substantially imoroved my productivity, however it took me about 10 days to really get adjusted to it. Also making sure you exercise everyday makes a huge difference with how much energy you have, even if it is just 20 minutes a day taking a brisk walk. ....So... maybe I'll try for 4:30 for a little bit ;)

If you’re a student. This is not for you. Don’t do this.

I've been doing this since a pre teen. It's called being on a family farm. I still do this for my job today. Today I'm 37

Noobs, I've been getting up at 2 am for 8 months. We have twins and we've been sleeping in shifts.

i highly doubt she actually ran at 4:30, it was pretty damn bright outside if she actually did

I have no idea how people sleep past 6am. I’d lose my mind!

Average sleep fan vs average wake up enjoyer
