Love that, so True!

I am an “alone time” person too. But, I just flip it...I stay up later than everyone else. 😆

I accept this explanation. I found it very peaceful to do deep work in these hours. I must admit that it will be hard in the first few days but it's going to be worth it.

I found that the time before my family wakes (4 AM to 6:30 AM) is my most productive.

I wish I could have my alone time in the morning like that, but my step mom already gets up at 4:30, so I stay up late to be alone instead :(

Lol

Haha saaaame!

Mood 💀

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me

For me it would be 7 pm. Which would dinnerwise be highly impractical and my neighbours are up making noise till at least midnight.

I think the rest of my family would object if I started going to bed that early.

Set an alarm

Why? I wake up at 5:40, make my bed, drink a small bottle of water, meditate for 20 minutes, go for a 30-minutes-long run (during which I listen to an audiobook), shower, have breakfast, and I am ready to begin my work/school day at 7:10. That being sad, I go to bed at 10 p.m. and have solid 7 hours and 30 minutes of sleep which falls into the recommended range of 7-9 hours of sleep. (tip: morning exercise improves sleep quality and reduces falling-asleep-time)

@@itsmatt228 well god damn, why aren't you the one making videos lol seems like you've got it together

Who said we can't? I'm trying to probe it's possible!

Exactly! I think this advice is good for certain areas of the world. Why would I wake up 5 hours before sunshine, to me that’s not « waking up early » it’s just « waking up in the middle of the night » or having a weird and messed up sleep schedule

Yea! I feel the same way. During the winter I hardly open my eyes at 7am. But In the summer I can easily wake up at 5am

I think if you don’t need to wake up this early because you have something to do, and the sun isnt up yet, then it probably will be better for you to wake up later, when the sun rises, bc that’s the natural circadian rhythm. I’m trying to wake up at sunrise and settle down at sun set. ❤️

Ley Kim I love doing that, as well! I haven’t in a while. This makes me remember how it feels, and I am motivated to start getting up earlier now. Thank you! ✨

i have no will to do anything

My problem too 😞

Exactly

Same. It's 5.30am here and trust me I'm not awake because I woke up early 🤣

You are my people! 😆

Aww, I love power naps, I do them after lunch.

depends wherr u stay tho amiright

Lol I'm so happy to live in a small place in one of the safest countries in the world, I can go out for a walk at any time of the day. And during winter it is dark from 4 pm to 10 am so we have to go out during dark time as well or we go out never.

@@Pilkkukatti Where do you live? I'd love to live there too! Here in Buenos Aires, it's never safe to go out, not even during the daytime.

@@titatesta4577 I live in Finland :) It's cold but not many people around so it is pretty safe! And yeah I get it, big cities are usually always a bit dangerous :/ Do you have to go by car to everywhere to be safe or how do you move around outside?

i hv came across few articles with some scientific explanation that the air during that hours hv some health benefits. That may hv effect them . I will continue to do the same

I can't imagine waking up later than 7am. It feels weird and my whole day is ruined if I wake up that late (7:30am and later)

It's genetic or at least very dependent on the behavior you were learning in the childhood. Also it has been suggested that the existence of morning people but also night people come from the primitive homo sapiens having to watch the cave all the day along for survival purposes

@@strongeronplants same, but when I wake too early.

@@espi1827 "It's genetic" ... it cant be. that seems to be an excuse. :) Science suggests that we calibrate our self via the circadian rhythm which is triggered and reset by sunlight. So if the sun shines in your face by 5:30 in the morning ... I'm pretty sure that most people would adept quite well in like two weeks.

@@hassosigbjoernson5738 they based their theory in the first homo sapiens when they have to watch the cave during nights, some of them had to stay awake and from them may come this tendency. Besides, I don´t see the point of being an excuse, as night people were be ashamed of being owls. They are simply more productive at night, very related to blood pressure which tends to increase during the day, awakening you or tends to down when you wake up already with decent pressure. Usually "low blood pressure people" have problems waking up fast because there is no enough blood in the brain.

"I need some time to start functioning in the morning" ... but thats kind of what she suggested. To take your time. The video was not really about 4 am. It was about getting up earlier to have some time alone.

Before, I also think "why would I have to wake up THAT early? Even now, waking up at 6 am is already hard and I always feel tired every morning." So I set my 'me time' at midnight and sleep so late at night. But you know what? I actually try it one night bcs I feel like there's something wrong with my energy during the day. So I lay on bed at 10 pm, set my alarm at 4 am and ask everyone at home to turn the tv's volume down so I can somehow sleep earlier. It's really feel different. I wake up feeling so energized that I feel kinda surprised. But if you try it for very first time you may feel sleepy in some hours later, so my tip is to doing short heart exercise such like jumping jacks just to make your heart beats faster for a moment after you drink some water. And for real, the laziness that I used to feel all day are just gone. So try it guys ^^

@@tal9106 You kind of proved my point. ;) Going to bed early is the key, not getting up early. But if getting up early makes you sleepy early than we totally agree.

@@emmynoether9540 no, what I'm saying is, even with the same amount of time for sleep(6 hours for me), starting your day at 4 and 6 is different. Idk why tho, maybe bcs when I wake up when the sun already rise even just a bit, it feels like I'm being forced to face the new day, and become somehow lazy. But when I wake up before the sun rise, it feels like I'm the one who welcomed the day and it makes me motivated a lot naturally. Oh and about getting sleepy a few hours later, it only happened to me in the first day. Maybe bcs my body still trying to adapting, but now that I've been making it a routine for a week, it becomes so natural to start my day early and keep active till the night. But! If what you did so far never makes you feel uncomfortable during the day, and never have any energy or willpower issues(like me before), then it must be the best way for you!

@@tal9106 Ah I see. It's great that Lefie inspired you to change for the better. :) What I learned many years ago is that I feel like I'm not really there and really disoriented if I go to bed after midnight. And I have trouble concentrating when I sleep less than 8 hours for two nights in a row. I also feel happier when I wake up at 7:30 than sleeping in till 10. I just don't get the waking up before 6 a.m. part. I enjoy sleeping when it's dark and don't understand, why I should give that up. But as you say: to each their own. I also despise the long sun hours in summer. I am always relieved when September/October comes, because then I sleep better. I am a bit weird in that way. ^^'

Totally agree. Waking up in the middle of the night seriously alters your circadian rhythms

To my dad happened the same :( I guess young adults with a well paid office job, no big family to take care of and enough possessions to live well need something difficult and challenging to feel valid in life. So if it's their choice to wake up at night, it doesn't hurt as much as, if you have to do it because of your job, which you can't leave because you have three children's to feed. Just an opinion

Agree and disagree, I don't know the details of your life (including where you are living nor your bedtime) but in summer the sun goes down around 9PM here and wakes up by 5am and winter time is dark from 6pm till 8:30am so in any case I go to bed at night and wake up before sun rises

SInce the sun often goes up at around 5 am summer time ... it feels totally right to wake up that time. But in winter its a very different story. But with 8 hours of good sleep in the dark, waking up at 5 am should not be a problem for anyone.

I am a morning person and wake up at 4-5am and its been going great for me I get to do more stuff, I stay more active and will have more time, but I guess it depends on the person

hope you get well soon!

Be careful you are fully recovered before exercising. A virus can lead to myocarditis if you exercise with it actively in your bloodstream.

Geniales los emojis xD
