  • Everyone always asks me, "what is your morning routine?" "how can you get up so early?" and "what do you do when you wake up?"
    In today's video, I am telling you all about my morning routine and how it has evolved and changed throughout my years as a pre-med, medical student, and now resident.
    I hope you enjoy!

    "The fact that you do it, is what matters." love this!! POWER Hour! I'm gonna use this term!
    My morning routine: wake up at 5 am, 10-15 min of HIIT, protein/coffee/spinach smoothie. Then work!

    awesome video! I totally agree :) I'm also most productive early in the morning, but I find that if I don't have a plan for what I'm going to accomplish I won't get as much done. So I usually make a plan the night before for what I want to get done the next morning and that usually works pretty well. Thank you so much for your advice! I found your videos about one year ago and I'm so glad I did! I'm starting medical school this summer and you've been such an inspiration :)

    Hey, Andrea! Just loved this new video. I am also working on my morning routine that usually starts at 3 am. Sometimes I feel that I need to get out of home to get things done, and I will try to go to med school/hospital earlier, thanks for the advice.

    Hi Andrea. I really admire everything that you're doing. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now. You're always inspiring, and full of energy and optimism. Thank you so much for encouraging us pre-meds and really for just being your awesome self! You're an amazing doctor and I'm sure you'll thrive in all that you do!

    Thanks Andrea, for a while now I've felt so stuck being at home all day trying to study for my CK but not getting any work done, but revisiting your videos now is helping me try to stay on track and work hard, I know I have the potential to get a good score. I will start waking up early from now on and stop procrastinating.

    Love this! I'm like you in that mornings are my productive time, although I admit I'm not always great at taking advantage of them. One thing I like to do to encourage myself to get up is having my water kettle for coffee and a lamp in my room on a timer (I use the kind you can buy to turn Christmas lights on and off) and set to turn on when my alarm goes off. That extra noise of water boiling plus having a light come on makes a huge difference in terms of helping me wake up, especially on cold and dark winter days when I'd rather sleep in that extra hour!

    I absolutely love to watch your videos although I am always feeling a little lost and overwhelmed... I am going to be a freshman in high school and I know I want to do something in the medical/health field in my future. I am wondering what I can do as a 9th grader to start learning more about the medical field, how to get into medical school and just everything! I'm not even sure what exact questions to ask but I know I want to start preparing to become a possible doctor or surgeon or something in the health field later in life. If anyone has any advice for me please leave a response :)

  • @Zetunez
    @Zetunez 7 років тому

    The content you learn later in the day is easier to recall the following day. For fellow students, I strongly suggest looking into sleep's role in memory and the recent documentary by Michael Mosley on sleep.

    I prefer late night studying. I work second shift so it's kinda the only time I have. Usually I'm exhausted at that time, but on days I don't have early things going on, I make sure to sleep in so I know I'll be more awake later!

  • @MusicVivianZhang
    @MusicVivianZhang 7 років тому +12

    Hey I'm wondering: when do you go to bed? You talk about loving sleep, so I'm wondering how early you'd have to go to bed to be able to wake up at 3-4 am. And how do you streamline your evening routine so that you're not wasting time at night? Thanks!

    • @alphaspartan
      @alphaspartan 3 роки тому

      she has to be going to bed around 9pm... for a college student this sounds insanely early, but i know sugeons and that's about the right time to go to bed when you have surgery at 7am every week.

    Hey, Andrea. Do you perform your own retrobulbar blocks or does a CRNA/Anesthesiologist do it before you get into the OR? We're learning them now (in CRNA school) and I'm wondering if the ophthalmologist does it themselves or not.

    • @alphaspartan
      @alphaspartan 3 роки тому

      @MikeHunt lmfaoooo. she did say she prioritizes sleep, but if she's getting up at 4-4:30am on average, she must be going to bed at 9am at the latest. 8 hours would be 5am, i wouldn't be surprised if she goes for 7 to 7 1/2. surgeons typically have surgery start around 7am so early mornings become the norm and you gotta go to bed so early :( i don't want to be a surgeon lmao

    Hi Dr. Tooley, I am a morning person and quite productive in the mornings. However I find it difficult to get myself out of the bed when I wake up and I end up staying in bed, wasting time in the morning before class. Do you have any suggestions for motivating myself to get out of bed and beginning my day?

    • @alphaspartan
      @alphaspartan 3 роки тому +1

      anything you want, just gotta make time :) obviously some are harder to do "part-time" than others though. surgeons are known for being on call and working 60-80 hour weeks
