Get Your Life Together Challenge: Sleep Schedule 😴
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2018
- Starting the Get Your Life Together Challenge Series! This week, I'm focusing on fixing my sleep schedule, waking up and going to bed earlier. This is my biggest weakness, so bear with me lol. I'm a total night owl & have never been a morning person. For me, this challenge isn't about perfection, but about incremental progress! Any tips would also be appreciated 😸
The reason I wanted to start this series is bc there are a lot of "get your life together" videos out there, but they all seem to pack everything into one video/day, making it seem easy or that it's possible to get your entire life together that quickly. In reality, changing your life takes effort, consistency, willpower, patience, and time. This series is my live attempt to take a slower method and focus on a different area of my life each week.
Though I'm focusing on one area a week, I'm going to work on continuing and building all the improvements as we go. Hope you join me in this challenge! :) #GYLT #GYLTchallenge

Finally someone who is real and doesn’t wake up at 5am
Yes
@@eiaeheh For me, its because I love mornings. Waking up early and have sometime to sit down and reset myself through morning pages helps me be more happy and productive throughout the day, especially if its a long one or when I have to meet up with a lot of people. Plus, I sleep a bit early so my body just wakes up at that time. Oh and also its prayer time for us Muslims(winter time). My day does not flow well if I did not have that time to just sit down and be with myself before interacting with others.
@@mozaalkharji7760 tbh I love the morning air, but after a while I just get stressed out in the morning, and pretty much go back to sleep after fajr😅
I have to wake up early for work 🤷🏾♀️
I have to Wake up at 5 am because of my Job. Thats very heavy for me... in my Teenage years I was a Night owl too, but now I would wake up naturally at about 8 am.
Today I learned you can sleep in and still be hella successful.
Oh yes you can 😉🙌🏻 I’m proud to prove that
I too was today years old when I found this out.
Linnea Held hahhaha Yaaas
hahahaa i tought about the same thing
Who else is here because they messed up sleep schedule in quarantine
Me haha
imane hsain me
Me
Literally meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ive been sleeping at 3 in the morning waking up at 1 or 2 in the afternoon and my body has been twitching, i have double vision, and extreme fatigue i hate myself sm
I once heard someone say, "get up earlier. not early, just earlier". I think that's the key. No matter what time you want to start your day, waking up just an hour earlier or so allows you to start it better. and you know what? you just showed us that you can live your dream life and be successful without having to wake up early :)
I’ve never had anyone who has sleeping habits so similar to mine. So many people don’t understand it and think I can change the fact that I’m such a night person. Glad to see someone else is similar to me.
💕
Tyra Ashley same! I have always felt bit bad about myself for being night owl! It so good to hear that I am not alone 😊👏🏻
Oh my gosh I was thinking the exact same thing! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one out there who is such a night person and really struggles with mornings 😫
Yess and people say I can just get used to it but no I have worked at 6:50am for the last 5 years and I still will stay up till 12- 2 am easily every work night and even later days off and sleep in until 12pm or later on days off. This video was beautiful because it shows you can still be successful and still do it your own way. The only youtuber I’ve ever seen be an actual night owl.
I stay up til around 6 am and sleep til around 3 pm
🌟 Hey Aileen, something that helped me waking up early without snoozing my alarm is the 5 seconds rule by Mel Robbins. The alarm sounds, I count 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and I get out of bed with full force... then I turn off my alarm. Don't touch your phone until you're out of bed. It really helps.
Thanks!!
@@lavendaire you're welcome! Let us know if it works for you. 🤗
I‘m reading the 5 Second rule at the moment and i love the book 😍
@@GamerWolfLp yes! It's simple but so effective.
Yep! I literally just wrote the same thing! That book changed my life and my sleeping habits! I've struggled my entire life until I found that book!
Wow, thanks for your kindness & tips in the comments! I was afraid of uploading this video bc it didn't show a major improvement, I was disappointed and afraid of being judged. But I'm glad I still posted it. I realized I had a lot more to say about this topic:
1️⃣ There's this societal belief that you have to wake up early and be a morning person to be a responsible, successful person. I wanted to show that it's not necessary - you can sleep in, wake up late, and still get things done and succeed. I've had this sleep schedule all my life (except for school, when I really struggled to wake up at 6am everyday). My natural sleep cycle might be genetic/influenced, as my dad is a night owl and wakes up very late too. He's been waking up at 2-4pm all my life (when I was a kid, and still to this day) and he still manages to succeed in a big way. I owe it to him for showing me that you don't have to wake up early to succeed, run multiple businesses, and support your family. The sad thing is being shamed for having a different sleep schedule than most people - I still deal with a little shame and guilt about that from society & the people around me.
2️⃣"If you now work a job where you don't have to wake up early, why try to force your natural sleep cycle to wake up earlier?" The reality is, the rest of the world functions on a morning person's schedule, so it's harder to get some things done outside of business hours, when people get off work. I still have to work with others so our work times need to overlap, even if for a couple hours. Also, I mentioned that sunlight is important for filming videos, and in the fall/winter the sun sets earlier ~4:30pm. That's why I have to wake up earlier these seasons, so I can get more sunlight in. In the summer I can sleep in and still film videos til 8pm (when the sun sets), I love it so much. I would love if the sun could set at 8pm all year round 😋
3️⃣ I'm so glad I didn't choose to do a 5am wake up challenge because that's not realistic or desirable for me at all. Even though my schedule is outside of the ordinary, it's not about the time you wake up, it's about the quality of rest you get and how amazing it makes you feel in your life. Let your sleep support your mental & physical health and find a schedule that makes you feel the best! Good luck!
P.S. A lot of you mentioned the book that explains our internal body clock: Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker - thank you! Just wanted to share it again here for anyone who needs it.
Awesome series
daylight hours are my big bugbear too - I have an Etsy shop (vintage) and getting those natural light shots is everything; sometimes I stay up all night because if I don't get the week's photos, I can't list.
Can't wait for other videos❣️I'm so happy that you decided to make these videos and to not have them all in one...I am right now struggling with waking up early so your video is what I need...thank you🌟💗 xxxx
It's so important for us night owls to get validation for existing! Thank you so much for making this and also these additional points ♥ Especially number 1 - it's been one of my biggest concerns that I won't be able achieve success just because of the way my brain is wired. I'm so incredibly relieved to hear other night owl's success stories!
This video makes me wonder about your meal schedule 😁
Oh man i thought i was a loser waking up everyday at 10:00am - thank you for this, it makes me feel good :)
bruh thats so early i wake up at 2:00 pm, if it was my choice i would wake up at 4:00 pm or som but ah well there's a mom yelling at me everyday lol
No you’re not you’re amazing bcoz I should feel bad coz I wake up at 1-2pm
@@kate9674 omg hahaa same but my mum doesn’t yell at me they let me sleep as long as I want to but I can’t bcoz there online shcool
I love that you're breaking this down into change over 2 months! I think it really fits well with this Japanese idea of Kaizen (continuous change over time) that I try to practice! Sleep has been something I've been trying to fix since July!! Good luck to you and everyone else who is trying to improve as well! 🌱
Good luck to you too, Nomi!! 💪🏼✨
I've been struggling with this soo bad
Omg it's so strange seeing other people apply the term Kaizen to everyday activities. I studied management so I know a lot about Kaizen. It is a great way to live by btw, I strive for it too.
Tatiana Lopes I need to research it. Maybe it will help me too with my sleep
Your so honest with yourself and your viewers, you didn't try to show us that you're perfect as many people do in their videos. Kudos to you. Good luck and lots of love.
Maybe those people are just better, but less "perfect" people make you feel better about your lame self? Think about it.
I believe the key is consistency- you need to go to bed and get up at the same time every day. And don’t take a nap for the first week. It is tough, but letting yourself sleep in at the beginning makes the process take longer. I have a son and 2 dogs so sleeping in doesn’t really happen but having a better sleep schedule does make me feel better and be more productive overall.
I agree! Consistency 💪🏼
I am on that Vampire night owl schedule and have been on it for over a year. I need to reverse this in the next couple weeks and I don’t know how I’m gonna break this habit. It’s just so hard for me to wind down at night and my boyfriend gets off work at 12:30 AM so I’m naturally up late at night because that’s when I see him. But if I want to go to my parents house for Christmas and see my niece and nephew and my sister whom I have not seen in four years they all go to bed at 10 PM and are up by 7 AM. They are not OK with me sleeping in past 10 AM.
That used to be my problem as well. What worked for me was setting up REALLY exciting things to do in the morning. Things that make you feel so happy that you can't wait to get up the next morning. For me, it was something very silly. I made delicious banana pancakes for breakfast. They were soooo good!!!
wow you are brilliant! Gunna try this! 💖
I hate that disappointed feeling 😕
I thought I was the only one having major issues with sleep! Thanks for this necessary realness, I was tired of watching everyone "waking up" at 5 am!
This was so honest that it's very refreshing! I think one thing that sabotages you is the fact that you put multiple alarms. I did this exact same thing before, but when I decided to change it to just one alarm, it really made a change, mostly because at some point you freak out you're going to sleep in if you don't move right with that single alarm. I admit at first it was tough, but at the long term it was the only thing that worked for me to make it a consistent habit :) *Good luck*
Thanks!
I feel like playing Aileen’s videos or podcast while your trying to sleep would be amazing for putting yourself to sleep 😂❤️ her voice is so soothing and comforting!
Truly is! I always get the feeling everything's ok and all is possible even if you need to rest now when playing any of Aileen's videos ♥
ARE YOU PSYCHIC?! I was literally thinking can't someone just make a video on how to get your life together? I literally journaled about this!! Idc what anyone says I attracted this video into my life 😣😆btw love you and your videos 💞
Lol glad it can help! Let’s do this together 💪🏼💕
This is a life savior
I appreciate that you show everything on the vlog, even your failures. :) Lotsa love.
Thanks for your honesty and putting yourself out there! I follow some other channels where it's all about productivity and waking up at 5am...which was making me feel bad and inadequate bc I have a hard time waking up early. I also love the aesthetic of your videos, so light, lovely and fresh! Thanks for sharing the process of your journey!
Oh God I'm so glad I found someone who's got the exact same type of sleep schedule and not beating myself up anymore for not being a 5/6am kinda person anymore. U helped so much in helping me realise that it's ok to sleep in..and ur video gave me hope coz my target is exactly the same as urs..much love to uuuuu..like so much love!❤️ Really appreciate ur video. Means a lot!
Good timing, I need to get my life together so bad rn- I’ll be in bed early this week 😁
Good luck dear! 💪🏼💖
Same here!
@@lavendaire so inspiring
Can't wait for more videos of these series! Yay
Spanish and Arabic subtitles are available! Click "CC" and check the video settings. Thank you to the contributor listed in the description 💕
I woke up at 9 today! And it is so refreshing to see a productivity content creator with realistic sleep habits! Thank you!
I am SO excited about this new series! 💕
So, I'm also a nightowl. I used to think this was something people made up as an excuse as to why they stayed up late and got up late. However, I read a book called "why we sleep" by Matthew Walker and it taught me so much! Being a nightowl is a real, scientific thing! We have an internal bodyclock, and for nightowls it's basically impossible to go to sleep before midnight. I won't go into the detailed science of it but we basically don't have the right chemicals in our body before that telling us to go to sleep. For us, going to bed around 1am or 2am and getting up at 9 or 10am is the best! So, your idea of getting up at 9.30 is great!
Ever since reading this book I've really focused more on getting the right amount of sleep and it feels really good when I get it right!
Aww thanks for sharing this!! Makes me feel better lol
I totally believe that. I have been a night owl my entire life. My mom would come into my room at midnight and I would be playing with my toys. She’d be mad I wasn’t sleeping lol. I just wasn’t tired. I just have to accept I’m not a person that’s going to wake up at 5 am everyday lol.
I love that you’re an night owl and honestly it shouldn’t matter what time you wake up and to sleep as long as you’re productive and get things done !
I love how real and vulnerable you are. Thank you!!♥️♥️♥️
Mannn I needed to see this! I think this is a struggle for a lot of people who are self-employed. We really have to either set ourselves up for our own personal optimal work hours, or have the discipline to force ourselves to wake up early!
It is
Totally agree. I’m as bad as waking up at 2pm.
I'm excited for all of the series!
You know what, you have inspired more than anyone else has ever done. I am grateful for that. Thank you Aileen❤❤❤
I loved how you share your success and failures during your challenge. It's real and it helps us to don't reach unrealistic goals. thank you!
Will be looking forward to this series and try to do this challenge. Love you 💖
You won't believe how refreshing it is to hear someone like you, a person to look up to, talk about being a night owl and waking up later than most of the world! I have this exact same pattern. And waking up at 9:30 can be a real challenge. But it could also be the optimal time to wake up. So thank you for being so honest and providing such important support for others like you! ♥ The internet is full of "How to wake up at 5am" -stuff that just makes me feel like I'm bad and wrong for having a different kind of natural rhythm. This video was so important to me. Thank you! ♥
❤️❤️
I’m honestly just really thankful you were honest. A lot of people sugar coat it and make it look like they did everything perfectly. Instead of that you were honest, I appreciate that way more, great video
My sleep schedule has been all over the place and I've been trying to fix it FOR MONTHS. I really needed this video.
I am low-key amazed at how much alike we are with this particular struggle. Even the go-to bed and wake-up times are basically the same!
Glad to know there's another person like me out there sis! 🤗🤗🤗😘
By the way, following your advice from another video, I've disabled notifications and moved all my social media apps to another area on my phone and honestly I feel like I've been reborn!!! My anxiety and stress levels have gone down so much just by that adjustment alone. Love your channel & career! Keep up the amazing work! RESPECT!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so glad that there is someone else who struggles with sleep. This video was very inspiring. Thank you for being so honest.
Thank you for being honest and realistic. You can’t work miracles in a week, but I am glad you’re trying and we do see the slight improvement. You got this!
It’s good to know that I’m not alone haha. It kinda encourage me that even a self development related youtuber like you does the same. I actually had a sleep diary which I forcefully did for 4weeks but lately I stopped doing it. And now that I saw this, I wanna do it again to get my sleeping habits together. 😁 loveyah!🥰
Lately I’ve been feeling really depressed about how late I sleep in. Daylight savings time makes it worse because the sun sets so early. This vlog makes me feel less alone. Also, I’ve strangely been more productive since I’m trying to cram so much into the hours that I’m awake and the sun is out. Thanks for normalizing my night owl tendencies 🙏🏼
I love your honesty in this video and how you showed your failures as well as your good days, it makes me feel a lot better about my own failures.
Thank you for being so real! My sleep schedule has been a mess lately and this video is what I needed!
Wow, thanks Aileen! This came right on time for me. :) I love your Kaizen-type methods. I'm so excited for the rest of the GYLT challenge. Thanks!
Woohoo! Notification squad! Thank you! Thank you! For this series ..! Like seriously, I feel like I'm a hot mess 😭😭😭 you always seem to have something that can help me ♥️♥️♥️ I have an irregular routine! :( I never get to school on time either.... By the way I joined your podcast on Google play!
Wow, I know I will LOVE following along this serie! You are amazing and your channel is so inspiring!
thank you for being so honest, aileen ! this video was very relatable, i felt a little better about myself after seeing that you, a person that i admire so much, have these waking up issues too. i've been trying to fix my sleeping schedule for like a month, but i'm still struggling sometimes. this video encouraged me to keep trying ! 💛 thank you !
Loved it, Aileen😊Cant wait for the rest of the series!!💖
I'm so excited too
Girl, I’m totally feeling those series. I love you..❤️
She is Wonderful
the honesty is so refreshing
We love you Aileen!! We're growing and working on improving a certain aspect of our lives. I'm just so grateful that you're willing to share your experience with the rest of us!! 🤗🤗🤗
You literally read my mind. I haven’t had my life together in years 👌🙌
I feel you, Sis.
Wow, this made me think about how it is all about the mindset and also, how important it really is to just focus on YOUR own best.
When I wake up at 10 am, I seriously want to die haha. It feels so late for me, and I'm feeling that guilt throughout the entire day. Waking at 7-8 is ideal for me and what I always aim for. Yet, for you, 10 am would be ideal and much better than 1pm.
So although it is great to collect inspiration and motivation from one another, it really shows how the most important thing is to focus on yourself and listen to your body and gut feeling and do what's right for you.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST. LOVE TO SEE THE PROGRESS. CANT WAIT FOR THE REST OF THE VIDEOS.
This challenge is such a good idea!! I'm so excited and am looking forward for the succeeding videos in this series💗
Gosh, girl, I love how real you are (first saw you on Matt D'avella's podcast) . Sleeping and waking early has been my lifelong challenge to the point of never having been to university lectures or work on time, so I can totally relate to you, except I don't even give myself seven hours of sleep daily. Thanks for your honesty..no one else seems to be willing to admit they sleep after 2am and rise close to noon. I believe the secret to waking up early is to remove the negative mental blocks that we can't or that we're still tired..but each their own method. Anyway, I've just subscribed. Cheers!
I needed this video, I'm a night owl too and I've tried to fix it but it's really hard
She fabulous
I can relate to this soooo much. Thank you filming this. I don’t feel so bad for just having a different sleep cycle than most and that’s okay.
I really get where you are coming from. I’ve been a night owl all my life and have been surrounded by morning people and have felt bad about myself. In the last 5 years I’ve decided to embrace it, though work means I have to get up early at times. Indeed tomorrow I’ve a 7am flight to Glasgow so will need to get up at 4.30am , so I’ve lots of alarms set. Like you I’ve thought I must be lazy, but I’m not as I get so much done later in the week. It’s about working with your rhythms and powering through when I have to get up early. Once I started to give myself an easier time I’ve felt better and carer wise I’m a Director for a large business so it’s not really held me back....it’s just meant there are times I’ve had to play against type. Thank you for such a real video. Love your content 🤗😴
I'm joining in this week!
I really need to fix my sleep schedule, I have to wake up at 7:00 am everyday for school (preferably earlier) and it’s so hard for me 😩 2 summers ago I wasn’t going to bed until 8:00 am and I would wake up at 5:00 pm!!!! That’s how bad it gets
I relate to this on so many levels! This video came at a time when I really needed it. Just reading the title resonated with me and made me click right away. My sleep schedule has been extremely messed up for the past two months and it's stressing me out. I am a night owl as well, but lately I've been going to bed around, like, 10pm and it has thrown my whole life off because I don't get anything done that I used to do at night.
I appreciate you talking about the stigma that comes with being a night owl. If you wake up around 1pm or so, people assume that you are a lazy person. There definitely is a societal belief that successful people wake up early in the morning.
I need this badly! Love it, can’t wait for more videos! More power to you ♥️♥️♥️
This video is perfect! I start a new job on Monday where I have to get up early due to the place being far away, so I’ll be late coming home too. I have a feeling sleep will be a problem to me, so this is upload so perfect and amazing! Thank you girlie x
This is right on time for many right
Glad to know that I am not the only night owl that struggles with this. Plus, I was wondering about how I could fix my sleep schedule when your video popped up. I'll implement your tips right away. Thank you for being real with us. #GYLT ❤
Aileen, this video is amazing! I can SO relate to your sleep schedule, I tend to sleep until 11/12 at the moment, which I totally hate. But it's so good to see someone not forcing themselves to get up at 5! thank you for this video! ♥️
You're so relatable and real. Thanks, this make me feel better and motivated :3
Wow! Feeling like a weirdo now. Aileen, I believe I'm your opposite. I really enjoy waking up at 5 am and if I wake after 10 I feel like I wasted half of my day. And it doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I can't sleep past 10 am. Kind of weird cause I really like to sleep. Is there someone like me?
@Brittany FFF True. What bothers me is that I can't sleep in even when I need to. Like when I go to bed around 2 am and I automatically wake up at 7 am and can't fall asleep anymore. It's really annoying. I go through the day already exhausted because I didn't sleep well.
I started to wake up at 4am just because I have zero energy after work and I can’t focus on my passions so I shifted my schedule to do things I love before work and sleep after work & gym. I wake up usually happy and motivated because I start the day with things I choose to do and than I go to work to pay the bills, go home exhausted and I can go straight to bed without guilt.
@@Inekane Wow! That's really brave, girl. 😉 I couldn't do it. 4 am is way too early for me. But I hope it's working for you. Most of my friends think I'm crazy for getting up at 5 because I'm a freelancer and I could sleep in, but I can't. It would kill my productivity for the day.
MEEEEE ✋🏼😁
Lizzie Rodrigues SAME. My internal clock just tells me at 6 am "ok sleep time is over, time to get to work". Little frustrating honestly
Get your life together challenge : I love the idea! There are a number of these areas in which I'll happily follow along :)
Regarding sleep, I thought I'd give you something to be grateful for ;-) Have you considered that being able to sleep late could actually be a bonus?
I know it sounds like a great problem to have, but I *cannot* sleep after 6 AM. I trained myself to wake up early at some point in my 20s, and now, no matter how late I go to bed or fall asleep, I wake up at 6 regardless of anything else. And then I can't sleep again until the night. So if I'm lacking sleep, I just have to slug through the day, typically very unproductively and hope that I will sleep better the next night.
So right now my sleep challenge is to 1) be in bed at 10:30 no matter what - and 2) try to read something that doesn't excite me so I do fall asleep early enough.
You always post these videos when I need them the most... Definitely have to get my life together!
Yay!! Love your vids! I love how you dont give up!!
Pre-alarm definitely works! I do that myself to trick my body 😅
Meee
to me this sounds no ridiculous at all.. I'm exactly the same. 100%. same sleeping times and all. I just love the silence at night when everyone else is in bed and I can ACTUALLY think more clearly and feel more relaxed. It's also kind of relieving to know I'm not the only person struggling with this
Ditto 💤
This is the first realistic video I've watched about this theme and also the first time I don't feel bad with myself by my fails about sleep schedules, instead I feel like "oh, she understands me", so thanks a lot for that! Don't be afraid about your improvement, you are human and we all need time to improve the things in general
This seems like the only real and honest video of any sleep schedule videos.
I really believe having a good sleep schedule makes the whole day better as it makes me more productive and keeps my mood better, but i was struggling to be consistent with my schedule, you're a big help thank you Aileen
I applaud your effort! Have you thought about getting an alarm clock? I haven’t bought one yet but I plan on getting a sunrise alarm clock, because I hate getting up when it’s still dark (winter sucks). But having the phone away from the bed would help too
I personally don't like to use my before 8:00 am doing do has definitely changed everything.
I was searching for videos to get my life together and this came right when I was about to give up. Thank you so much, this is just perfect 🌸
So glad you're doing this!! I've been having trouble maintaining/creating a new, better daily routine ever since starting a new job in September. Can't wait to watch the rest of this series!
This is the most relatable video I have ever seen!!! I don't understand how most of my friends function on 5-6 hours a night. I need at least 8.
The thing that has helped me the most is being strict with my routine which means going to bed at the exact same time every night and waking up at the same time each morning. I've found that being flexible with the times just makes it so much harder the next day. If you can't stick to your times it will help so much!
It’s true! It starts with being strict about going to bed at a certain time. Still working on it ✨
Right
I swear we are just on the same wavelength on Everything! I have not seen anyone else who makes self-development content view sleeping like this or have the same perspective as me. Society tends to view productivity and success correlated to waking up very early and having lack of sleep, but everyone has different sleep cycles. And sleep is SO important! I applaud you for being your authentic self & sharing your truth, even though it may feel a bit taboo. Trust me - people very much relate to it like me (: Also, the name reminds me of Kalyn Nicholson's "GYST" days for 'get your sh*t together' ;P another one of my fav channels!
Thank you. It's amazing to find someone who has a realistic sleep schedule like me. I see all these creators saying how they get up at 5 or 6 in the morning. I try to follow but I love sleep to much to get up that early.
YASSS! I'm so here for this series! I've been trying to become a 5AMer for forever now. That's still the goal but now I'm going to be kinder with myself. From this video I got that, no one is perfect and to keep working at improving what needs to be improved. Thanks for the motivation and reminder to not give up on this goal. :)

Hi!!!Aileen i just wanna say that how much I love and adore you. You're the best youtuber I have ever come across. I just wanna meet you so so so badly but unfortunately we live in different countries. Love ya!! Have a nice day...
She is the best
@@Leeedavan yup. She's just so perfect!!!
I'm gonna do this challenge with you. I usually wake up 9-9:30 because I work at the afternoon, and I'm always complaining I don't have enought time for myself, so I'll try next week to wake up at 8am everyday.
So happy these vids are LITERALLY what I need / what I’m working on right now. Lavendaire always comes thru :)
I really enjoyed this video as well as the other ones you did so far in your GYLT challenge. This week‘s theme did not speak to me that much at first because I personally have a pretty rigid sleep schedule already but I am very happy that I watched this video after all: I love that you shared your feelings honestly and your sleep pattern with us even though you were not fully confident about it. I also loved that you endorse slow but consistent change as well as getting enough sleep each night!!
GYLT reminds me of guilt, which is the feeling you will get if you don't commit to the challenge 😂😂
I highly recommend reading/listening to The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. That book motivated and helped me become a morning person.
I second this! And the Sleep Cycle alarm app changed my life. I snoozed all the time but the app helps me wake up at an ideal time
@@NoraConrad the sleep cycle alarm helped me get the best sleep I’ve ever had in my life!! It gives me a relaxing feeling right after I wake up.
Thanks Aileen, your video comes right on the time that I need some motivation to get my life together. I guess holiday preparation and grad some application that’s due the end of this year kind of burn me out, my room is a mess, my sleeping schedule is all over the place.
I feel very inspired to start my life with sleep this week! Thank you for your openness to share it with us! 😘
Loved this video Aileen, my sleep levels have been so messed up since the start of school so super useful! Let's improve our sleep schedule!
Aileen! If you haven’t already, I’d definitely recommend checking out the book, Miracle Morning! That book changed my life and perspective on how to wake up early and start with a productive day filled with gratitude. I highly recommend it!!
Thank you for sharing your video with us and your authentic self. I always enjoy watching your content. :)
I should definitely check that out. Sounds interesting
Hey Aileen ❤ this is an awesome idea 😍 really needed it for me now 😘😘
❤Let's do together 😊 #GYLT
10:30 PM to 6:30AM
Good luck!! 💪🏼💖
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I struggle so much with sleep, and feeling guilty for it. I'm so glad to know that someone else who is into self-improvement is a night owl and also struggles with sleep and doesn't get up at 5am! This video genuinly made me feel better. I also think I am going to try to get up between 9.30-10.00. To me that is a good time to get up since I am also a night owl! :)
Hi!😀 Thank you for posting this video. I found it extremely relatable and helpful. Thank you for your honesty in sharing this. I've had very similar problems with this too, and have felt pretty bad about myself for it. People don't tend to talk about these things very much, and never in such detail. I don't feel so alone in this anymore. I very much appreciate it.
The best pattern for sleeping is 7.5 hours at night in the dark and take a nap for 45 min during the day
I think my schedule is just 7.5 cause if I get 7 or 8 hours I get super tired.
I'm ok with 6 hours + 1 nap during the day or 7.5 without a nap. That makes me believe that my sleep cycle has 1 hour and a half and if I wake up in the middle of this cycle it will feel terrible
Laís Devoti a sleep cycle takes about 1.5 hours, and in the middle of them you will be in a really deep sleep and won’t be easy to wake up from
love the video but my gosh girl you can sleep aloottt ..
Haha lol. How long do u 😴 yourself??
Thank you soooo much for this video!!!!
I have exactly the same problems and the same sleep cicle. I'm so happy to hear that there is another person out there who struggles with this but at the same time is really successful. Right now I'm listening to miracle morning but for me it is really so hard to implement it in my life. So it just feels so good to watch your video!!! Thank you for this!!!
I have been watching many morning routines and this is the first one I have come across wherein you start your day post 9:00 AM. I really liked your honesty in this video and its definitely helpful for the night lovers. I am sure there are many out there. The social media icon tip was great. Will try to incorporate it in my life as well. Thank you for this video and I am looking forward for the rest of the weekly series too. Keep it up :)
