    I've been getting up between 430am-5am for 2 weeks and it's been amazing. My day is no longer rushed, I read, I pray, I listen to music, clean up the house, work out, make breakfast...it goes on and for the most part, this is done before most people wake up. It's awesome, empowering. Taking back the day, there is no extra time, you have to find it.

    "You need a purpose." - I couldn't agree more. If you don't feel the need to get up at 4-5AM, the extra sleep is better for you.
    That being said, getting up at 4:30am really has changed the game for me, too. The amount of work you can fit into a single day is just insane. That and watching positive people like you lit a fire under my ass to start something I'm passionate about - so I started a mental health-focused podcast here in Ireland.
    Thank you for your constant motivation and inspiration....you could have been doing anything! But you chose to make fucking killer content for us. ❤️

    I wake up at 4am, started doing it year and 1/2 ago and love it. I work out until 6am after coffee and drive to 24 hr gym. Biggest benefit is huge weight loss , energy throughout the day and my evenings are home with my family. If you can pull it off for a month it become an obsession, it’s harder for me “not to go”, then to go. I go 6-7 times a week and love it. Gym is bare and when crowds show it’s time to leave. 👍🏽

    Purpose, that is the key! My husband was the 4am person but there was a purpose! He worked in the movie studios or a tv show and they had to begin work at 6am! He is not that 4am person everyday now, just once in a while when they call! I use to get up at 3am, to run and work out before work and then walk to work! Not now but I still workout in the mornings just not that early anymore! Love your videos!

  • @paulmcclure8317
    @paulmcclure8317 6 років тому

    Love the video, totally agree on being a morning person. One thing that I've struggled with at times is that it can feel kind of isolating. I'm naturally an introvert so it doesn't cause me a huge amount of stress or anything but most social events happen in the later hours of the night (especially in college) and I often find myself a bit "out of sync" with most of my friends' schedules. I don't know if you've ever felt similarly but just a thought I had while watching. Love the videos man! Good luck with the move!

    If you are asleep by 11pm and wake up at 4 am you get 5 hours of sleep per night. This is way under the recommendations. Contrary to popular belief the vast majority of humans need at least 7,5 hours of sleep for optimal performance.
    The side effects of chronic low sleep, much like high blood pressure, is not something you notice immediately. It is shown later in life as vastly increased risk for depression, alzheimers and cardiovascular disease! I strongly recommend reading “Why we sleep” by Matthew Walker, PhD, for more info on sleep...

  • @puiwenhangkpm-guru2162

    As a natural night owl I became an early riser from the epiphany of purpose. Also I got tired of people glorifying sleep deprivation by arguing how little sleep they got. Also the gym at 4am has like 5 people max in it which I find beautiful. If you a are still reading this I wake up by a rule my friend told me once which is "once you get out of bed, you've won".

    Third time watching this one, underrated. Music, edits and voice over so on point 👌🏻

    I love the video. A lot of people in Germany judge you hardcore when you tell them that you wake up at the crack at dawn to work out :D You just equipped me with a lot of really good arguments to defend myself haha!

    I’m up 4am Monday thru Friday for work. Start at 6am. But there’s traffic by 5am here in Jersey. Otherwise I’d hit the gym too before I went in
