So good to hear that there are others like myself. I start getting ready for bed at about 8:00 p.m. and automatically wake up (no need for an alarm clock) at about 4:00 a.m. There is no change on weekends or holidays either. The best part of the day, for me, is that time between when I wake and when the sun comes up. It's so peaceful and quiet. It is quite strange to my wife and myself when we watch television shows which show people eating their evening meal at 8:00 or later at night. We have our dinner no later than 6:00 and shut down the food intake at that meal.
I am note sure if it is caused by genetics. I am in the 50ies now and used to stay up very late, sleep almost until noon, when I was young. Now I get up between 4 and 6 am, read a bit, go for a run, do some yoga or garden work before I start my working day - still earlier than my colleagues. If I think about why I changed that, then I would say, it‘s because I became smarter. Let‘s be honest - what did I do late evenings? Drank some alcohol, eat junk food, watch TV go to bars and spend a lot of money. Not very productive, isn‘t it? Now compare to what I do these days in early morning, as written above. In the evenings, after work - when I am tired I can go to bed and be happy. I did my day. Productive things for me personally were completed, even before I started to work. Next day is again a good day and I feel great and energised.
Always enjoy your videos. A happy morning lark here, but once a depressed night owl. I attributed it more to my closer walk with God, but the early to bed early to rise habit I’m sure helps.
I got to know this through having a kitten. Most of the time kitten will sleep when I switch off the lights, anytime from 21:00. She will wake up about 03:00, to have breakfast. So I decided to take the early route otherwise I cannot function very well during the day. I do try to get back to sleep which is not always successful, but it’s super just relaxing in bed until 05:00.
I can confirm this 100 % even on Sundays I tend to wake up earlier - but I need a bit more coffee then 😂- do not stay in bed when the sun shines bright !
It's funny that out of 11k views less than 1000 likes... The rest of them are night owls 🦉 😆 I'm currently a night owl myself, but I did like the video.
I don’t want to admit it but I agree with all of that !!! I’m a night owl by nature and working 12 hr swing shifts goofs everything up and now menopause is like a wrench I’m my spokes. But straight days when I have to leave the house by 6am to clock in at 7 am, I get so much more done and feel accomplished. Every person I know who is an early riser is a very highly productive and self motivated person. Studies have also shown that early to bed early to rise people are more successful and are wealthier ! It’s 10:38pm…….I’m going to bed !
I have farmer DNA. From 19 into the 70s, I was happy sleeping late when I could, and staying up late. An evening nap was part of my routine. I liked late-night TV, but nothing tempting is on now, and I have a Tivo. I need to do what I can to cope with depression.
Eh! I'm going to say that there is a huge difference between going to bed late and getting up early, thereby reducing the number of hours you get to sleep, and going to bed late and sleeping long enough that your body gets enough rest. I've never in my life been a morning person, and I always hated having to get up early. Getting up early makes me feel sick, and because of that, I can't get much done. Anyhow, I'm retired now so I stay up late and sleep in late, and I don't have diabetes or any of the diseases that are caused by a lack of sleep. Also, I'd like to know how many of those researchers were morning people, and if they didn't insert their early bird bias into those studies. As a dedicated night owl, I'd have to say that the biggest problem with being a night owl, is having to function in a world full of early birds. LOL
@Caroline Rose….I’m the same way. However, he mentions that night people have a 94% higher chance of having a psychological disorder….mmmm…..I wonder if it was the constant fights that my parents would have at night, that caused me to end up being a ‘night person’. And as for the ‘psychological disorders’…..I think the stupid parents fighting would have more to do with that, than just something as simple as when one decides to sleep. I wonder if when they did these studies, they looked into other background factors, like parents fighting at night? Morning people get on my freaking nerves! They are always pushy, trying to force me to wake up and get up to their speed quickly…..when they have had the whole morning to themselves, without anyone pushing them, for them to be able to ease into their day without anyone getting in their face! I love the evening-AFTER the morning person goes to bed! The quiet night….to work on whatever my creativity wants to do…..without interruptions. But when the morning person wakes up in the middle of the night and interrupts my creative moments, and pesters me like I’m a child, asking me just when do I plan on going to bed…..well…..pure hell! I tend to feel that morning people do not have as much respect for night people’s needs, as we do for theirs. I hate mornings. Something just feels ‘off’ about them. The sun is too bright (I love cloudy, rainy days), and here in Arizona, it is my hell! So yeah, evenings are cooler and less shocking to the eyeballs. I could probably become a morning person if I lived where it rains a lot.
I see what you are on about . I used to work nights and loved watching the early bird rise ,the change from night to day and watching meteorites in some cases . Now I`m retired I`m still struggling with the transition even after 10 years ,Where the diabetes comes into this is something I have never ever seen in anyone ,so i`m taking this study as unfounded in practice ,psychologically nope .I`ve never heard or seen anyone suffer from this, the exception being those who work different time shifts their "clock" was all over the place ,that resulted in bad tempers,bad mistakes at work and relationships .
👌💯 Even with well-balanced hormones when on my chia protocol, I am most happy & functional on the swing-shift hours my parents lived when I was a baby. 🤭
Interesting. I’ve always been a night person, but I’ve been getting up about an hour earlier than normal lately (5am) and I’ve notice I’ve been feeling better. 🤔
Nice, but you can't claim causation where there's just correlation. People stay up longer BECAUSE they are unhappy, not vice versa. There's deep psychological factors for this which need to be healed. I'd wager that as we grow older we become more at peace and lose a lot of the FOMO of younger years, for instance. We're then happier because we've healed, and this frees us up to be proactive. So actually, I think the causation always begins with healing. Human willpower and true choice only account for so much and can't really overcome bad FOMO or other unhealed existential dread.
Good point ! You should talk to my neighbor - she has this problem which I think comes from 2 abortions and other issues - I gave her a Bible & said she should drive to her mother etc. - she is night active but in unhealthy way. Plus she gambles with esoteric crap 🕵🏻♂️so I can confirm your comment. The only reasonable excuse for being up at night is : You are a writer, a painter or record a new album - creative work needs a lot of hours 🙋🏻♂️🤗
I hear the very same thing about all kinds of wild eats and I think that the reason is simply that plants have variants of the same strains and they are different but similar some will develop terpenes to attract pollinators and reduce grasses like insects and animals, and what you know some of these terpenes are toxic to us, so it's not a different plant is just the toxic strain, hum.... Well in my P.H.D. opinion (Pretend Homemade Diploma, P.H.D. not to be confuse with P.h.d) So trust me.....
I have learned over 52 years, I'm not a rise at the crack of dawn guy. I did figure out why. I get the best sleep between 6am and 8:30am. Without that 2.5 hours of sleep, I do not function right the entire day. I have tried to program it out...nope never works. I've tried sleeping pills, melatonin, meditation, food changes...nothing works. As a note, I am a diabetic type 1 for over 30 years.
This sounds backwards to me. When my depression is worse I feel no energy to haul all of my 110lbs up out of bed. When my diet has my hormones in balance, I can easily get up early, and of course I feel better emotionally. It seems odd that you are speaking about "choosing" effects rather than "choosing" sharing knowledge about actions that create effects. (Presumptuous.)
I'm a night owl no doubt about it, but I keep waking up before I've re-charged and I wanna STOP waking up too early! I go to bed at 1am, toss and turn till at LEAST half-past 2, I need to get up and piss at least once per night, so that takes me ANOTHER hour to fall asleep after that. I want to sleep through till 1 pm, I NEED 11 hours per night or I'm not recharged, but I wake up completely exhausted at 11 am, sometimes earlier, I try to get back to sleep because I want to wake up at 1 pm, not 11 am but sleep wont come anymore.
I think you are getting too much sleep, that can make a person groggy. Just try training yourself to go to bed earlier and when you wake up early, don’t go back to bed, get busy doing something and work hard then you’ll be ready for bed early. Good luck
What would be recommended? We go to sleep at 12am now, should there be e switch to 9pm, hard stop, or slowly go from 12 to 11, for a couple weeks, then 11 to 10, for a couple of weeks, and then 9 to 10 which was the goal? Is there a study on this? We tried to go to sleep early, with a hard stop at 10, but it crept up again back to 11, then back to 12
Great question. I wish I knew exactly what the best option is. I travel a lot. We typically try simply making the change right away when we travel to different time zones. That doesn't answer your question. Just what we do when we have to change sleeping times. Blessings.
Find your why. Why would you like to get up earlier. It has to be tangible. It has to be emotionally worth it or the change will never stick. And don't force it. If you're not there yet, make changes from the ground up to get there. I personally believe happiness comes before healthy sleep patterns. When we worry or lead unhealthy lives we stay up for reasons such as compensation (me time), or dread for tomorrow (loss of me time again, you dread your job or whatever), or other. These need to be fixed first. Actually, fixing your life will give you the why. The ability to sustain it.
On the Little Light Studios you had made a comment on Calcium build up of the heart blood vessels and ten year old children, do you know what the cause is and do you know of any way to revers it?
Typically the plaque comes from a standard American or western type diet. The only diet that has been shown to reverse plaque in the arteries is a low-fat, plant-based diet. Typically around 10-12% fat. We have a cookbook on our website www.anchorpointfilms.com/individual/product/cooking-with-natural-foods that has a special "therapeutic diet" which is not only plant based but is around 10% fat. Most plant based diets can still add plaque to the arteries. The recipes in the book that have a "T" in front of them are the ones that are the therapeutic ones.
Psalm 127 - It is vain for you to *rise up early!* What is this scripture actually talking about? Look at it in context - it's not talking about morning larks versus night owls. It's talking about focusing on your daily activities so much that you burn the candle at both ends, so to speak. Please keep scripture in context 😳
Hmmm. I think you need to read the complete verse to put it into a context. “It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.”

The Bible references a lot of waking up early too
Very true.
What is going to bed late? What time. And what is get up early? 8 o'clock or 5 o'clock?
And if I have my 8 hours of sleep isn't that enough.

So I wouldn't trust everything he's saying over here. I think it all depends on personality.
