It's crazy how many times i've thought i was too tired to work out, but worked out anyways and had a great workout. It's probably because i confuse mental fatigue with physical fatigue and just because i'm tired in one way doesn't mean i'm tired in other ways
On thing I’ve realized too is that sometimes when I’m feeling fatigued I’m actually dehydrated. I guzzle down 1-2 liters of water and all of sudden feel great again.
I know they won’t see this but I gotta say. I started listening to Jocko in May. I just figured out the anti depressants I was on for 4 years my body wasn’t accepting. Jocko has made me wise up and has helped me I’m doing better and I’m not depressed. Jocko saved my life no joke
For me, losing too much sleep is a deal breaker as well. However, if I wake up to do something important, I'll do it, but once the adrenaline wears off, I feel like crap. Really tired. If I accumulate a great deficit of sleeping hours in many days in a roll, I invariably fall sick.
@@Nickkhan802 why is that,have you ever gone to bed at 10pm till 6am you feel refreshed. Go to bed at 2am or 3am and have the same 8hrs you get up feeling like shit same amount of hours slept but you definitely dont feel the same.
@MrNilssonTheMonkey yes mate I agree with you sorry I was making a point to the post above be by nick that said that's not how it works,but your right there is something to it and if anyone has ever worked night shifts will know that no matter how much sleep you get you still feel drained
You want a shot of energy? There's an exercise that I did in track where you sit against a wall in such a way that it looks like your sitting on a chair that's not there. It puts a strain on your knees and legs. No movement, just fatiguing your muscles. You can do this exercise for about 30 secs with steady heart rate, but when your muscles start to strain, you can feel your heart rate jump into a higher gear. Hold it until your legs start to fail. Then get up. Your alert and aware. When I come out of this position after 2 to 3 mins, I immediately feel the need to stretch like I just woke up from the world greatest power nap. It's great. Advice from a trucker who cannot compromise getting tired. 💪😎👍
My old man swore by the naps with your feet elevated slightly above your heart. He always woke up for the day before daylight, but then he “put his feet up” around mid day for about 20-30 min and said it made him feel so much better and then had plenty of energy for the rest of the day.
Rest is critical, but I tend to find a lot of fatigue can be a false indicator of tiredness, as when you remember your purpose and reason for taking action, motivation and energy can often come extremely quickly.
I don’t think it’s good or "tough" to not sleep the right amount. For all the things you do off half assed sleep, how many of those things are you doing WELL? For all the things accomplished instead of sleeping, would it not be better to simply do them more effectively with better sleep and energy to power them? Powering through is great, 100% agree, when you need it. For as much as I see Jocko as my fav superhero that never needs rest, he would probably agree with this.
6-8 minutes?? Man, that just makes me more tired. I need to keep moving as long as I can. If I sit, it’s game over. I do agree that going to train when I’m tired is best. I’ve never regretted training, but sure as heck regret the days I don’t.
Here’s how you tell the difference. Being fatigued feels SATISFYING. You feel like you EARNED it. Being lazy has a bit of guilt or a negative emotional feeling associated with it.
Not exactly. Excercising enough to cause fatigue feels satisfying. If its caused by something like a medical issue you can easily feel the need to excercize in your muscles while you dont have the energy to stand up. Its really unpleasant
Insomnia is no joke man. I used to think I was fine just powering through days with no sleep, but after about 48 hours of that shit you legit start hallucinating. Like I've done actual hallucinogens and they're often less intense than serious sleep deprivation
I went through a rough point in life and for whatever reason I could be up 40-50 hours and felt great. I’d crash for 8 hours and be good to go again. I seriously think I took years off my life. I went on for that about a year and then I lost all ambition. Just recently gotten back to a productive state. Life is crazy
Take advice from people who don't have actual sleep or fatigue issues carefully. People don't understand "invisible" problems and modern medical science doesn't have any significant answers to sleep and fatigue disorders like insomnia other than stimulants and behavioral therapy, which, surprise, doesn't work in the majority of cases. Until they do have those answers, you'll just have to settle for "laziness" and excuses or lacking in motivation. Ever wonder what motivation actually is? Realizing it's more than just a choice is a big step. The best part is when you put in the commitment, out perform others, and still have the same issues you did before back when they blamed you for your sleep or fatigue issues and now they say: "oh, you are over doing it." Hm. Now who's making excuses? You can't have it both ways, ignorance is a hell of a drug. Oh, and don't even get me started when people tell you that you are on drugs and you aren't. Then of course you must just be hiding them. Most people mean well though, they are just clueless on most issues they are inexperienced with.
I think it's dope that Jocko can get away with that. I have sleep apnea myself and I stay up late on top of that so the power naps don't do as much for me, but powering through is definitely attainable. I have 2 physical jobs and I like to workout and sometimes I feel spent before the gym (sometimes I actually am spent) but most of the time I can crank out something good at the gym. Even if you don't hit a PR, just work on metabolic overload, muscle tone, or something that might not demand your short twitch muscle fibers as much. Obviously if I'm spent, I rest and go the next day (or I take 2 rest days if I really feel I need it). If you just feel kinda tired though, push through it and you'll see results.
Maybe it’s just me.. I agree with Jocko on “getting the blood flowing “ after about 10 minutes.. a workout brings out energy... Especially if you can catch a bit of sunshine... Get Some Sun ☀️
Jocko is on point. This also applies to studying. Can you study too much? Hell, yes. However, there is a smart way to study for long, long periods. There is one orthopedic surgeon who served in Iraq (as a aoldier) before going to medical school who studied 18 hours a day in medical school. How? He would study for 3/4 of an hour and then goof off for 15 minutes, rinse and repeat. The 15 minutes of rest per hour is what allowed him to maintain his focus. Very true.
Active recovery is great. Warm up on the bike, stretch it out, roll it out, get good sleep. No sense ripping yourself in half today when a bit of active recovery can get you ready for the rest of the week, 1 step back and 3 steps forward is further than 1 step forward, 3 steps forward.
Reminds me of Daniel Pink’s book “when”… book is worth reading just for the “nap-achino“ idea. Chug coffee, snooze 15 minutes… caffeine hits right as you get up from the nap for double bump in energy
I've struggled with this with fibromyalgia. I give 300% every day when it's insanely hard during a flair up but sometimes I really need the rest and I'm resentful about it.
When im sleep deprived (2+ days of 5 ish hr sleeps)I get symptoms of a cold. Warm forehead, warm air through nose, sore eyes, stuffy/runny nose. The day I get an 8 hr sleep its always gone. However if I go with super little or no sleep ill go on for days feeling great (0-1hr a night) until on about the 3rd-4th day im seeing weird things lol. It only takes me one 8hr sleep to reverse all my symptoms of low sleep. Still figuring myself out.
The problem with what Jocko is saying here is stress and fatigue can present as not being tired and full of energy, similar to when a child is overtired
If you're sore for 2-3 days, you worked out too hard. Do 10% less until you're not sore for multiple days. Then increase your intensity slowly so that you're never fatigued. After like 2 years, you're going to be so much better than if you're working out to the point of being sore for multiple days. Don't listen to Jocko about sleep unless you want to look like him lol, I guarantee you Jocko has some problems that he is probably just too tough to care about but are limiting him. Most people are living with too much stress. The benefit of exercise is that it makes your mind switch to a different mode. You must sleep enough to let yourself recover and heal. If you want more time in your life, cut out ALL TV, internet videos, social media, video games, etc, you will be surprised how much time there is after you cut out all that CRAP.
I typically agree regarding working out. An annoying thing I'm finding lately is that on the day I workout I feel amazing, the next day it's not so much muscle soreness, but muscle fatigue (understandable, I'm not complaining about this) and overall fatigue which really does impact how I well I can perform at work. I'm not going to NOT workout so I can perform better at my job. I still get the job done, but my affect display is basically non-existent. I just power through the day and go home. Compared to days that I workout and I feel positive and I talk with coworkers it must seem almost bipolar lol. Oh well you need to make some sacrifices.
Sleep is the most important thing you will do in your day. Above exercise, above anything. Good sleep hygiene is the key foundation to anything you want to do in your waking hours. I don’t understand the fetishisation and macho bullshit of I DON’T SLEEP, I GO HARD. Nah, it sounds ridiculous. Sleep is a part of your hormones, your metabolism, your mental health, cell regeneration and so much more. Sleep well, and kill it in your day. No naps. Naps are bullshit and fuck your melatonin production/circadian/infradian rhythms up. Diurnal patterns are not to be messed with.
You shouldnt be sore all the time, just like you shouldnt be sleep deprivated all the time. But oftentimes you dont get enough sleep in life. I.e. as a parent or someone who is working nightshift. And thats no reason to skip working out.
This might be unrelated but whenever I had to triple jump while I had tendinitis in high school I’d would rest in between jumps by laying down with my feet up and it always made the leg pain more bearable, when I didn’t rest before a jump I REALLY felt it
20 mins is an ideal nap time, just enough for a bit of REM, just too little to prevent you from getting super sleepy. Brew a coffee and chug it right after the nap for a little zing.
I got called lazy when I was working nights at a warehouse. I'm not a night person and it was 3am. my body was literally being shut down. barely able to walk. was already doing 12 hours at that point. i tried to tough it out drink energy drinks, pushups etc but I just couldn't regain the energy. management laughed at me and Alotta coworkers me weak often. I went home and have done it many times at that job. sorry but my physical and mental health comes first. that's how I discovered physical labor really isn't for me. we can't all be machines but to call someone lazy because of it is just bullying and belittling
@@Junkhead_210 right now I'm doing retail stock. I used to work mornings but wouldn't get going til like maybe 10 or 11 am and I started at 5am. but they expect you to be superman. ig you can say I'm at best later mornings. now I'm night shift and I still have the same energy. I'm more demotivated at this point cause of how I'm treated but some days I'm very energetic and other times I'm sluggish. not able to go to the gym hasn't helped me. that could be a big issue too
@@Junkhead_210 it more of a choice at this point. I could go faster and harder at my current job but management bs me so much that I purposely slowed down
Hey Jocko, how can you get how of the “lazy” mindset? Lazy, as in not actually falling through plans you’ve made, doing the bare minimum, pushing assignments/stuff off to do the side for “later.”
7-8 minutes is good so that you don’t get trapped in a full sleep cycle. What’s worse is waking up tired because your body thought you would sleep an hour and a half, especially after sleeping longer than you wanted (15-30 minutes).
I work 40+ hours a week at a warehouse, workout 3 to 4 days a week now cause my job is pretty physically demanding and then when I get home I still get stuff done and I'm not a nap person at all, BUT if you ever catch me napping, best believe I'm worn out 🤣 I enjoy them, but I don't allow them to be a part of my routine. Just occasionally
One thing I'll say is that making the "I'm tired" excuse as a matter of routine is definitely lazy. Tired is what happens when you do a lot more than usual, but there are people who do 12 hours of hard labor followed by 2 hour workouts every day which is a testament to how high our endurance capactiy can be trained to.
Be careful with the advice "don't take today off." I was determined to not take a day off to push myself, and my heart almost stopped on the mat at Muay Thai. It's ok to know your limits.
That's my problem I barely take naps and I get sleepy fast, my sleep schedule is off has been for years. How would I get a great sleep schedule going and sleep better?
Galaxy check out the book Why We Sleep. No need for naps, just give yourself 8 hrs of sleep opportunity ever night. Go to bed at the same time every night and read before bed instead of looking at the phone.
I'd say if anything smaller people would have an easier time. Really tall people can have trouble with weight lifting due to a less optimal center of balance.

The mind tells the body what to do.
Yeah I heard it... But my neighbors seriously just lit a joint+ Tabitha.. lol..
4pm - 8pm is the perfect powernap

Jocko 'sleeps for 6 to 8 minutes' Willink
Can't let fatigue let you get lazy, but you can't let the desire to not be lazy not let you properly rest when you are fatigued.
Thank you so much 😊
I need to give that a try 6 to 8 minute naps.
Jocko counts his blinks as naps
The look on EC's face.....Six to eight minute naps.
Hey Jocko, how can you get how of the “lazy” mindset? Lazy, as in not actually falling through plans you’ve made, doing the bare minimum, pushing assignments/stuff off to do the side for “later.”
Jocko is vulnerable as well...everyone is
Yeah he‘s More like ‘Thanos vulnerable' meanwhile we‘re just really vulnerable 😬

7-8 minutes is good so that you don’t get trapped in a full sleep cycle. What’s worse is waking up tired because your body thought you would sleep an hour and a half, especially after sleeping longer than you wanted (15-30 minutes).
I'm in a period where I'm working full nightshift, week over week, from July. I'm overfatigued and it's seems that I can't find any exit !
Hi, how do you fall asleep and rest within 6 minutes? I know they used to train pilots to fall asleep in 2 minutes, but how do you do it?
This is awesome advice!. But this looks like a 1920s silent film at 4:00 in the morning. Only the adults are talking about afternoon naps.
How do you deal with chronic mental fatigue from something like childhood trauma.

The only problem with a nap is that I can't fall sleep
Its hard to do a nap working 7-5pm
Jocko is Efficient DOMINATE NAPS
Jocko naps with open eyes
I work 40+ hours a week at a warehouse, workout 3 to 4 days a week now cause my job is pretty physically demanding and then when I get home I still get stuff done and I'm not a nap person at all, BUT if you ever catch me napping, best believe I'm worn out 🤣 I enjoy them, but I don't allow them to be a part of my routine. Just occasionally
One thing I'll say is that making the "I'm tired" excuse as a matter of routine is definitely lazy. Tired is what happens when you do a lot more than usual, but there are people who do 12 hours of hard labor followed by 2 hour workouts every day which is a testament to how high our endurance capactiy can be trained to.
I feel tired all the time. Its my sleep n snoring. It sux
Well that was a curveball
Rest, work, rest, work....ENJOY LIFE

Be careful with the advice "don't take today off." I was determined to not take a day off to push myself, and my heart almost stopped on the mat at Muay Thai. It's ok to know your limits.
or being with SKINNY KNEES vs without. any advice?
That's my problem I barely take naps and I get sleepy fast, my sleep schedule is off has been for years. How would I get a great sleep schedule going and sleep better?
Galaxy check out the book Why We Sleep. No need for naps, just give yourself 8 hrs of sleep opportunity ever night. Go to bed at the same time every night and read before bed instead of looking at the phone.
@Galaxy yep the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker was a game-changer for me- a critical read for your health and well-being.
Thanx man I really appreciate it, I'll do that exactly and I'm going to give that book a read for sure.
20-30 minutes nap for me.
I'm a quick sleeper and all but I' don't fall asleep within 6 to 8 minutes though 😹
Jocko what about being smol?
5 foot nothing.
100 pounds wet and wearing boots.
Do you train small framed people the same as the larger ones?
You should have plenty of endurance. Should be able to work harder and longer.
I'd say if anything smaller people would have an easier time. Really tall people can have trouble with weight lifting due to a less optimal center of balance.
Small people need less calories. So all you do is actually save a ton of money on groceries. But training wise it’s the same as everyone else.
The first question is, what are your fitness goals? Get Big? Get strong? Different goals have different approaches.
Not related but im fatigued from my wife and covid. She is so scared to death she wont even let my parents see thier grandson, who is 9. Its fracturing our relationship. How do i deal with it?
Confirmed both
how do i submit questions to to be answered on this podcast, can someone help?

Don't Confuse rest with lazy...Don't Excuse lazy as rest.
i am always tired no matter how much sleep or workouts i get done. 99% of the time i am awake i am willing to sleep. I rarely feel fully awake or full of energy
See a sleep doctor. It might not fix it, but it's the right thing to do.

I used to date a chick that would ALWAYS say "I'm exhaused😪"
She literally did nothing but booze when she wasn't working. That didn't last long.
