4:32am is such a random and specific time lol

omggg if I had those beach views, I would definitely make an effort to get up early and catch the sunrise!!

I feel like this is a spring/summer thing. Waking up at 5 am is soo depressing when sun won't be up for another 2 hours in the winter and it's cold

Am I the only person questioning how at 5:00 am its light outside? like WHAT! lol

The most motivating part about going to the gym so early if seeing them same people and feeling like you’re in this together. On the flip side, it is so hard to leave your s/p when they’re in the warm bed snd u have to get up and leave lol

Omg it amazes me that you’re able to go out and do all that stuff (walks, swims, etc) by yourself and be safe (and not scared of getting hurt or taken). I wish I could do that sooo badly! Looks like such a beautiful, cozy area. Loved watching this!!!

Whenver she talks it reminds me of h2o mermaids

I think people often forget that if you wake up early you don’t magically get some more hours in your day. To be rested you also need to go to bed earlier than otherwise, as getting enough sleep is probably the number 1 thing you can do for your health and wellbeing. So I guess it just depends if you prefer being awake earlier in the day or not. I do think the whole waking up super early thing is over-glamorized 🤷‍♀️

This honestly makes me want to move to Australia, the fact the weather is nice enough to swim in the sea at 8am is unreal, this would not be possible in the UK 😂 I get up for work at 6am and I de-icing my car at that time so never mind 4:30 😂 loved the video as always Soph 💕

I love that you're trying to be more "honest" now, its so true, we always see all youtubers being motivated a.f. waking up at like 4 and its just refreshing watching you saying that you're tired ! so looking forward to your next videos

Whenever I wake up early I end up taking a 3 hour nap during the day 😂

Just discovered your channel and I’m obsessed!! You’re the sweetest! Thank you for being so genuine.

This’s actually what i do as a muslim, i wake up early about 5 am to pray as it’s like the meditation u do at the beach and then working out having breakfast and this really helped me in the past few months to get over what was going on in my life 😄

I cannot imagine waking up that early so good for you, the sun doesn't rise until 9 where I live!

When you’re lay in bed talking about “imagine having no beach days and living in the dark” you’re just describing my life in the U.K. right now 😩 I can’t wait to move abroad 💀

I love how raw your vids are, it's so refreshing !!

Killed it babe. I felt tired just seeing that time though.. yikes 😬 I want to add the 10,000 steps into my routine this year too x

“imagine it being dark 24/7 and never seeing the sun” me living in norway during the winter: 🙂 I haven’t seen the sun since october and as far as the beach goes.. it’s frozen

it’s so weird seeing people just living their lives without masks. oh to be in austrailia... the us sucksss

The fact you can just leave your phone and camera on the beach and go for a swim that’s what I want in life !!! If that was here in Uk it’d be taken !!!Australia just seems like heaven 🤍

I would be so down to wake up this early if I lived somewhere by the sea. Waking up in Ireland is waking up to rain, I need to move. 😂

Sophieee welcome to the dark side / dark mornings! this is my perfect morning routine, I feel like the best version of myself :) you can get so much done in the morning and ive usually worked out, studied and done house work before lunch so i spend the rest of my evening relaxing and go to sleep at like 9pm hehe... it takes some adjusting but I love it

”Imagine if we just lived in the dark” yes so that’s (almost) the situation in Finland. Daylight in December only from 10am to 2pm🥲 And in June it’s the sun sets for only about three hours😁

If I lived near a beach I would be sooo motivated to get up and get a run in everyday! 😍 I've always wanted to try getting up this early! Well done Girlie! 🙌🏻✨

it might be a pain in the ass but one thing is for sure, you feel like you have the whole world to yourself that early in the morning.

Ok but having summer weather vlogs during my winter is inspiring me to make these goals for summer

4:30 is too early even for me. I wake up between 6am and 6:45 every week day depending on my plans but either way I do exercise first thing, a walk or a hard workout. Makes me feel so good for the rest of the day to sit at my desk knowing I have already accomplished so much. I love waking up early now.

you should deffo incorporate afternoon naps! even 20 minutes will make you feel so good

this was the most inspirational thing i've witnessed all week. pausing your video at only 3 minutes in to go clean my room and take my dog on a walk. then I'll come back and finish your video lol!

I’m TOO excited to watch this wow

Thank you for showing the hard days too! Makes me feel not so alone to see you accept all your feelings. Sometimes I don’t even understand myself, I also feel like it’s definitely hormonal sometimes! Loved the video idea, super motivating xxx

I love how you were so real about how you were feeling emotional that morning. Sometimes when watching videos people make it seem like trying new things is always easy and they have no issues. Thank you for bringing more real ness onto this platform❤️🙌🏽

“When’s my period due.” What a mood 😂. New subscriber

I’m watching this at 4:30 am and I still haven’t slept yet lol

Only 1 minute into the video and I am already motivated to get up earlier 😂

'I'm so motivated now, let's wake up early tom' - me after watching the video. *realising it's too late so i won't be able to wake up early tomorrow...*😔

I’m deffo part of the 5am club like I love getting up going to the gym having breakfast and showering etc and not looking at my phone emails or anything until 7:30am.

is this what being mentally stable is like 😭

I absolutely love waking up at 4:30 am. Before kids and husband. Me time to get in a great workout and set the tone for a productive day! I take a break wed and Sunday to catch up on sleep.Lovely vlog and the beach walks are stunning 😍

Prior to COVID when I was going to the gym versus workout at home, one of the things I looked forward to was the early morning drive to and from the gym. It was peaceful, quiet, hardly anyone else on the road. The little things that bring joy to our day right? We got to just stay positive and keep moving forward. 🙂

I could never wake up looking that pretty she has such a natural beauty 🥺

It’s so crazy what waking up early does and how productive you feel! I wake up at 3:30am to go Coach a 5am class at OrangeTheory. I coach 3 classes, take the workout right after I get off, and I’m out of work and done with my workout by 9:15am. So crazy. I enjoy having the rest of my days to do whatever. :) And she’s so right!! That first 10ish minutes is truly the hardest part, once you’re past it, it’s smooth sailing!!

I’ve been having difficulty with a midlife crisis, and I cry all day 😢 But your videos really brighten up my day and help me feel better ☀️ Thank you Sophie xx

imagine having a competent government and not having to worry about ms rona anymore 😭😭

Fun fact: your stomach hurts when you wake up early bc of the acid in your stomach. It settles when you eat, that’s why they call it Break-fast.

Her waking up: sunrise, warm weather, beach waves, cool breeze Me waking up: 12 degree weather, snow and ice, no sun for the 14th day in a row, frigid wind Indiana probs 😐

I also started waking at 430am to work out about a month ago. Was tough to start. Had the same morning issues of not sleeping well due to thinking my alarm was gonna go off at any second. But now…I really like it. Frees up so much extra time after work. And there’s no excuses. Great job! Keep up the good videos.

imagine living close to the beach

I've started working beginning January, and I get up every morning at 5 to work out before leaving, and honestly I LOVE it, but I agree that sleep sometimes is what you need rsther than squat jumps lol

That’s actually the time I go to bed but anyways...

I am loving your style of vlogs how it’s many days of the week, your videos and editing are so amazing I love when you post!💖💕

I’ve been doing this all week and it’s been a struggle but i’ve loved the feeling of getting through it, it really shows how much time we waste

Not gonna lie, these kind of videos are not even close to what I would chose to watch (I don't even workout) but my sister introduced me to them and i'm liking them quite a bit. I've been waking up at 4:30 for work since like june 2020 ish, and I wake up thinking my alarm is about to go off too. To be honest tho, I really like being up so early now. It takes time to like it but its quite a lovely feeling after you get into the rhythm and you've done it for a bit.

Good for you waking up that early and trying something new. I've been waking up at 1 am for the gym since June because I use public transportation and it's what works for my work schedule. I bus to the gym and start working out at 2. I wish it didn't have to be that early but i love how quiet the gym is.

A year from now, if you dont do anything, you will be in the exact same place you are now. No matter how stuck you feel, how many days youve spent crying, or wishing for something different. I promise things will get better, and even though growth is incredibly hard/painful, staying stuck is soo much more painful. I believe in you

Sophie is my biggest girl crush!!! Not only her looks but personality too🥺 like how can someone be so perfect?🥺💖

Anytime I’ve got commitments before 6:15 AM, I start to develop insomnia. I wake up constantly throughout the night or just can’t sleep bc I’m scared I will miss my alarm. 😭

can we talk about the amazing view you have at the beach? what a dream to have such a beautiful place where you live! this video honestly motivates me to start having a better morning routine NOW in order to have the most amazing summer of my life 🥺 since it’s winter here in canada, it’ll be hard because of the sun rising late and setting early, but i’ll give it a try. good job for pushing through girl 💕

I haven't seen anyone mention this in the comments yet, but that feeling you're talking about when being "hit by a bus" is called fatigue. I used to work for an airline and we started work at 4.20 in the morning, this meant waking up to get fully ready for the day at 3am. And something that I always had to remind myself was that by 3 in the afternoon I'd already been awake for 12 hours. Early morning starts are fantastic, but fatigue can be a side effect of that and that doesn't bode too well on the human body, people also have to be mindful of chronic fatigue as well

I 100% relate to this video from "could cry right now for no reason" to "prioritising sleep" ! As usual amazing video Sophie 😍

this really motivated me, but then i look out my window an realise how gloomy and dark the uk weather is:(((

hahah "I'm not really meditating. I'm just sitting here. sometimes closing my eyes. Clearing my mind. Listening to the ocean." girl you're doing it! Loved the vid

the fact that even when she thought she looked ugly she actually looked radiant. this vid really motivated me

I've never commented on one of your videos before, but I just adore you. This video is inspiring me to wake up earlier and create a self care morning routine :)

I love the way you edited this!

I feel you on the difficulty and the stress of missing the alarm haha! I ONLY get up to workout this early because I start training clients at 5:30am but otherwise, I would probably never make it. Really enjoyed this video!

So fascinating that you get up at 4:30, I would have hit snooze a thousand times, but the video is so motivating to get up earlier, not at 4:30 but maybe at 6. And I am a little bit jealous of your beach, looks so amazing when the sun rises.

🤣perspective is everything! Watching you struggle through your early morning has just made me and any parent with a baby giggle. Enjoy this time in you life and enjoy sleep when you can get it because if you ever have a little one you will look back at this and have a little giggle too.

I feel really nauseous in the morning too and I think its from dehydration. When I get up in the middle of the night and have some water its REALLY helps :)

I’ve been getting up at 5am everyday for a while now and walking along Cronulla beach watching the sunrise and I love it so much! Amazing way to start the day 😍

PMSL at Sam just randomly appearing with sunglasses on 😂 well done Soph, good effort 👏👏👏

i can't believe i just found your channel, i am obsessed already

Lol I’ve been waking up at 4-4:30 everyday for a year and now if I wake up at 6, I feel like my day is so shortened and unmotivated 🤣 you get used to it and it’s a really good feeling!

Soph, thank you for being so real in your videos and not just showing all the good things. You show all the hard and shitty times and I love that!! You motivate me so much and when I watch your videos, you always make me feel better!! I love you so much girl!! Thankyou for keeping it real xx

Loved the video! I have been working on putting together my own routine for each day as well since I am an expecting first time mom and will be popping any day now! I think that early morning routines are personally the best for me. I naturally just like to be awake earlier, but I definitely think the amount of sleep you get is really important. Everyone has bad nights sometimes, but getting up early and not getting a full nights sleep really does counteract the whole point of waking up early to have a productive routine. Because like you said in your video you just crash so early in the afternoon that you can't function as well and everything kind of slows down. I think the best thing to do is if you sticking to a routine and you feel yourself just so dramatically tired mid day, you should take a short power nap and then continue. Resting when you truly need to is better then pushing through it and not getting much done because you're so tired that you can't do things as quickly or really focus.

I am up at 3:15 am to hit the gym at 4:00 am. Nobody is there but 1 employee who is half asleep behind the desk. It's like my own personal gym for an hour until the fivers show up. Best way to start my day!

well it's dark in my country till 8:30 and then it's mostly raining outside.. if I lived in a country like yours I would love to wake up that early

Sophie: imagine never having a beach day? Me: *my annual beach day for 2020 and 2021 have been cancelled due to corona and the 3 hour drive to the beach.🤣🤣🤣

I used to have the morning shift at Starbucks a couple years back and my shift started at 4:30 am. When I woke up, I was very energized and pumped but when it reached around 4 pm, I was tuckered out. It was definitely a shock to my body for awhile, but I eventually got used to it. So I understand this completely!!

Thank you for being so honest (visually and verbally) about how you felt waking up early

I watch videos like this so I can imagine feeling the warmth. It seems winter has lasted forever where I live 😞

I wake up this early every day. Your body does get used to it. Stay disciplined!

Literally by the time you got to day 2, I was already motivated to actually do something and get stuff done

THIS BY FAR HAS BECOME MY MOST FAV VLOG ❤️❤️❤️

Omg always so happy when i see a new vlog!! It seems so so beautiful where you are! Here in Belgium it’s winter cold and grey so thank you for bringing some sunshine to our lives ❤️❤️❤️

Yessss I’ve been waiting for this 😍 really wanting to make the effort to wake up earlier so I’m super excited to watch this💘💘

I'm AT the gym by 4:30am and then I work at 6am. I used to hate mornings but I'm learning to love them and seeing the sunrise in the morning is the best!

This is my first video of yours and I’m subscribing! I love the energy and vibe! I wish my gym was open at 5am it’s restricted to 12pm-8pm and it can make it so difficult to workout in the afternoon. I love the mornings!

You’re so so lucky you can go to the beach everyday so jealous xx

I think continuing with an early morning routine, but allowing yourself to have a 1-2 hour power nap in the afternoon would be a good compromise :)

This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I love it! Love how real you are and seeing a fellow Aussie girl online ☺️

her skin amongst everything is gorgeous!

Forever dreaming of the day I can spend the mornings by the beach!💭😍

HER SKIN IS SO PERFECT OMG 🥺😩 I wanna be her

i pretty consistently get up for work at 4am. i often then work until 5pm and aren’t tired/ready to go to bed until 10pm. you definitely get used to it, but i’ve also always been a morning person and it is SO much easier in fair weather. the winter months, the cold and the dark are not the one.

I used to wake up at 4:30-5am for like a year and man it was the most productive and amazing year of my life!! But for some reason i stoped doing that and i for sure regret it but your video motivated me to put my shit back together and start doing it again!!! Thank you so much and wish you luck girl!!

I love this kind of videos! You definitely should do more “try something lifestyle thing/hack” :D so much looooove xxx

I live 10 mins away from the beach , gyms are open , but im here tired sleepy watching yt until 4am

I wake up everyday between 4:30-4:45 am in order to get my workout in before I go to work at 7. Trust me when I tell you that the afternoon wall you hit around 3 & 4 will go away eventually! I still go to bed pretty early between 8-9pm. On the weekend I let myself sleep in until about 7 am to catch up on some sleep! I will say keep it up and I think you will find you really enjoy it! :) Loved the video!

Love the editing on the weekly vlogs now.. quality over quantity! I used to wake uo at 4.30 to get a workout in before work but yeh bed by 730 became normal..
