@@journalologyandcoofficial not at all man, dad bod is totally different, this man's physique was wayy better and just another 3-4 pounds away from being shredded
@@journalologyandcoofficial XD thats a whole new thing now lol this gave me another perspective, i just assumed people though a person with less visible abs and full developed chest in a dad bod
@@journalologyandcoofficial haha, dad bods are like well mascular but more of a bulky physique which suits them being at that age
Jesus dude, your physique is insane
@@journalologyandcoofficial rather would have asked for workout plan XD
Shoutout to Night Owls 🦉🦉🦉 Thanks for having me Matt! !! This video turned out so good!!
You did great Sara. Hope You'll continue. 👍🏻
What you said at 12:49 is so poignant. All of my passions and creativity were formed out of NOT doing what I was told or expected to do... 20 years later and I still treat my creativity the same! The life of a UA-camr also sort of encourages that GET IT DONE LAST MINUTE AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE mentality so ever since being a UA-camr it has actually not helped inform the more structured lifestyle LOL
if i go to sleep at 10pm ish I always start to feel productive then - which leads me to not sleeping :)
I love your kitties :D 🐈
I used to be a night owl but Im more middle ground. Not sure if this is age or work conditioning me.
The bit Sara talked about with procrastinating something by diving into a rabbit hole of something else you find interesting is so relatable lmao
also a very autistic/neurodivergent trait
Definitely related to that lol
Even before watching her current ADHD video, I watched this whole thing thinking “she has ADHD”. And true enough.
@@PennaMinecraft now all came together
@Ana Carolina Sussel I do it too and I don't have either of those diagnosis. I think it's human to tend to procrastinate and find something else to do
Loved everything about this video and experiment. Not everyone needs a 5am morning routine to be productive or successful. That's such a toxic notion that's being pushed around. Thanks for showing a balanced perspective!
Night owl gang!!! I sleep at 10AM and start doing on my creative work from 8PM till 8AM. I love the quietness of the night and the bird song in the morning. Everything is so relaxing
Yeah, that's really good but on the other hand when you want to go travel or meeting with your friends maybe it will be hard to create time for that. For example even going to a market will be a problem (not a major one but little one). But if it's possible to create a really good home atmosphere and really good night owl people that would be awesome also.
Fr I go to bed earlier now but for a while I was hitting the hay around 5-6am every day and the sound of birdsong was very serene to fall asleep to.
@@prinniapuff i’m a night owl and wish i wasn’t. when the birds start chirping it drives me NUTS and reminds me that i’m up way too late every morning 😭
@Mustafa Umut Güven for me I go to the market in the early morning for food and as for friends, they're usually not going to be free until night anyway ;)
@@madiisuun ugh same. I was still awake at 5:30 this morning and I could see the sun come up and birds singing and it made it so much harder to fall asleep especially since I have a huge window that my bed faces 😭
Oh this is good stuff. I’m a night owl who - left to my own devices - would go to bed between 2-3am and wake up around 10-11am. It takes me forever to wake up. Primary school was a symphony of teachers complaining about me not being attentive at the start of the day (when classes started as early as 7.50am). In this regard, being able to work from home has been a total godsend.
Even when WFH i can't, i usually wake up for 9am daily meetings at 8:50am and go back to bed for anothe hour right after lol, but in total yes it 's been a absolute godsend
Your schedule is exactly mine! I tried for DECADES to force my body into an "early bird" schedule, but that isn't how I am most productive naturally. (Also, my school started at 7:20am and it was torture)
YES. Night 🦉!
That can barely be considered night owl, I usually cant fall asleep until 7am
And there's me who just won't sleep even if I'm tired. Idk it's just so hard for me to fall asleep. Sometimes I just can't stand the process of trying to fall asleep so I go online again. It's 8.15 am here and I haven't sleep since yesterday (I woke up at around 1pm yesterday. Still tired af)
I’m so glad you did this one, I’m not a morning person AT ALL and I always feel like the rest of the world makes me feel guilty or lazy for not being able to get up early and be productive. I’m so much like Sara in the way my natural sleep and work habits are, nice to know I’m not alone haha
I feel that deep in my soul. I'm much better at night. Work, exercise, creativity.
Morning is when I hiss at the sun.
I’m a morning person through and through, but I never understood the flack early birds give the night owls.
Early birds are their most productive in the morning. Night owls are most productive in the evenings. Same system, different times. For example: “I got so much done before most people are out of bed.”
Yes, but while you were in bed going to sleep, the night owls were just getting started. They could say to the morning person “hey look, I got so much done while you were sleeping.”
@@Bethany-fo6lt thank you. Means a lot. I hate how the whole world seems to always bash us but we can't help it.
Even after 8 hours of sleep, when I have to wake up at 06:00 I feel like crap and I'm 90% useless fpr the next 6 hours.
That would be the same as me bashing others for feeling crap at 01:00 in the night while I feel energetic
but the question is is it natural or procrastination? because for Sara it was procrastination
I can SO relate to Sara. I wake up late, without an alarm. Loiter around, casually ease into the day, and then wind up working late into the night when I find I have the most focus. I pursued self employment almost exclusively for the ability to do this. I was a complete zombie my entire time in school and I could not keep living like that.
Your comment makes me want to pursue self employment too 😭😭. I am so productive at night, but I feel like a latecomer at school and now work just because I'm not myself in the morning 😴😴
I feel it's weird how this video seemingly still buys into the idea that being a night owl means wasting your time in the morning instead of just shifting your time. Like you don't need to get up slowly if you get up late. You can still have a routine just at a different time.
The whole idea that you have "all this time" in the morning if you get up early has always weirded me out so much as if people don't know how time works and just totally ignore that if you sleep the same length of time, you will have the same awake time regardless of when it is.
that's interesting. i didn't get that vibe. i'm a night owl too. his very last sentence, though!
Absolutely. This video is organised/motivated person vs procrastinator, not early bird vs night owl. Really unfair comparisons.
Matt thinks 1 AM is late. That's adorable.
I’m a night owl and have struggled with the judgement that comes with not wanting to operate on everyone else’s schedule. I’ve also put a lot of shame and pressure on myself, and felt like I just lacked discipline for not being able to adhere to the routines you see all over the internet. Learning about chronotypes was so validating. Being in a remote job with a more flexible schedule has also been a game changer. Routine and structure can be super valuable, especially as a chronic procrastinator like Sara, but being able to build a routine that works with my natural schedule not against makes all the difference.
This is a really cool concept!
Why don't you upload on this channel anymore?
Takes one to know one, Thomas.
I miss your video about productivity.
We miss you
@@L.I.T.H.I.U.M we're working on new videos now. But I keep finding too much cool stuff to build for the second channel 😂
matt saying "it's 9:30, it's not even morning" is probably the most matt d'avella thing he's ever said
Yeahh, i went to bed 8 am yesterday lmao. I do night shifts
@@CinemaFIN SAMEE i be working the graveyard shift
@@gage.does.everything Haha yea
I kind of heard it the other way around... Like it's so early it is not even thr morning... Night owl brain lol
Thank you so much for portraying late start/late night in a positive light! I've tried for so long to wake up early, and I can do it, but I didn't realise at what cost until recently. I've actually pushed my night until later for practical reasons (flatmates in the bathroom anyone?) and ended up sleeping less overall and feeling more refreshed when waking up. And I shed some of the guilt I had about waking up late, and I feel lighter as a result! Also, the willpower that I was using for waking up early and having a good routine (working out, journaling, etc) is now available for other things. No more fighting each morning only to be tired and depleted for the rest of the day! What a difference it can make!
Excellent. I often take for granted why Matt’s videos excel beyond the rest of self development UA-cam. He doesn’t tell you what to do with your life. He inspires you and gives you the information to figure it out for yourself
12:47am and you're tired?! Damn man, as a final year college student, my bedtime is around 5-6am each night. It's been like that for two years.
THANK YOU for normalizing being a night owl!! 😂 my brain doesn’t work before 10am 😅
I always look forward to your videos. I just finished all my exams for the year and had your videos in my watchlist and now binge watching them all. Better than watching a movie, seriously!
I've never understood why waking up early is seen as productive and beneficial but sleeping in is seen as lazy, we all need sleep, so sleep whenever you'd like.
That's definitely total nonsense. The only thing beneficial for productivity in waking up early-ish is that you're awake during more business hours than someone who wakes up at 10:00 or 11:00 or later.
It's probably tied to the sun from very old times, or someone who wakes up earlier can take things earlier, although, with this logic someone who stays up late, is earlier haha
well if you procrastinate your work and have anxiety about it like sara then I would say maybe try to wake up a bit earlier and do some work earlier in the day instead of at the end of the day. but other than that I agree, sleep whenever you like if it's not bothering you or your mental health
This whole video is great lol. Watching Sarah struggle with waking up early but overall enjoy the benefits of it, while Matt is out here like "I'm so tried how do people live like this"
I love this! I think I've had and tested all kinds of sleeping routines (a lot of them as a consequence of youtube videos pushing the idea of becoming the morning person) but what I tend to gravitate towards, and always have, is very similar to what Sara does. The lack of distractions during the night is absolutely amazing, but this routine doesn't make it easy to live when you have fixed schedules like school or work where you *need* to show up at certain times during the day. But had I the freedom to set my own schedule I would 100% stick to being a night owl.
Awesome to see this collab. I started watching John Hill years back and loved seeing his progression (Progress Daily!) in life. They motivated me in life which lead me to watching your channel. You guys are a huge inspiration.
This is sooo timely. Ever since I've watched your videos, I developed a routine for myself that actually works. But life happens, you lose your job, broken relationships, familial obligations and etc. I've been a morning person, or at least a daytime person. Right now I'm applying for a Virtual Assistant job that would affect my circadian rhythm. I'm from the Philippines and the work schedule that I'm about to venture into would use the Pacific Standard Time, 8am to 4pm. Which would be 11pm-7am in my country. Just wanted to appreciate this video for differentiating #MorningPeople and #NightOwls. 💙
Great collab! I find both of their content interesting individually so it’s definitely neat seeing these two UA-camrs together.
Matt this is an amazing video, loved this experiment. Natalie is of course the highlight, I just love her. I can't wait to see how much of your day to day routine is going to change once your bambino gets here.
I always thought I was a night owl, but in fact it was just the result of bad habits, which I realized only recently 😮😅
@@TheCapedCrusader39How’s that going for ya?
@@TheCapedCrusader39 is it working?
very epic good job mlord@@TheCapedCrusader39
This video has really been effective for me. given im in high school - i've been meaning to find my productive hours, and this video really just helped me see the other sides of work-routines. Thanks a lot Matt for such a informative video!!
Thank you for the sharing. This has allowed me to understand my mentality better!
I appreciate this video so much. I used to feel so much guilt for staying up late and getting up late. I felt like it was morally bad of me even though I was getting a fair bit done. But then I stumbled on to Brandon Sanderson's schedule - which was near identical to the one I had fallen into and guilt evaporated. I've been twice as productive since I let go of the guilt and just embraced it.
Wow these videos are so beautifully done, wonderful aesthetically, and amazing editing. Really enjoyed and will subscribe.
Interesting experiment, and diving into and exploring your chronotype is a gamechanger. It really shows you how unique we all are and that trying to follow another person's "way" will only work for so long. It's about 1) learning what works for you, and then 2) giving yourself the permission to embrace this - it's the latter that's often the hardest.
I loved this video! So creative and different from the usual.
Crazy, I just watched yalls podcast from years ago it’s cool seeing the collaboration re-ignite!
Great video as always. Made me think about my own routine.
Wow this is something special ❤ I am subscribed to both of you guys. I just wanna say you guys are really awesome.🎊🎊👋
Really enjoyed this one, Matt! Well done!
Can't wait for the first video featuring the little one!!!!!!!
4:10 😂😂 Matt! So funny. Love the lighthearted vibe of this video
Very interesting video, Thanks Matt
Thank you for making this video! I love your productivity and experiment content, but I am definitely a night owl. I ate breakfast at 1pm while I watched this. I think this is the first time I've seen a creator share a routine that is closer to mine! I work evening shifts, so there are definitely jobs in society where night owls can thrive. Schools and remote or office jobs should definitely offer more options though.
It's so interesting seeing the lives of people that are so different to mine and then seeing them experience each other's lives. Such a cool video! Keep the great work up
Gotta love it when the "night owl" is like "Oh no, I go to bed at 3 a.m. and then sleep until 10 a.m.!" *blushes*
I'd love to hit these numbers on my days off. Usually it ends up being anywhere between 5 and 6:30 a.m. followed by waking up around 1:30 p.m. from my alarm that keeps me from sleeping even longer 🥲
great video concept!
Editing is on fire 🔥! Can’t believe what iam watching. Monster level is on
I love your videos brother. You changed my perspective on life over two years plus+. I never thought I’d see myself here. Thank you for your help. You are an amazing individual.
Always thinking about you and your contributions ❤
Start a podcast 😊
Love this collab! 😊
This was fun, the collab that I didn’t know I needed to see! Great work.
Love this collab!
I'm a mum of three year old twins. One is a night owl and one is an early riser and I have no idea what I am anymore. 😂
Love this. Can’t wait to see your prospective on productivity, sleep and children. It was a wild wake-up call for me. Pre baby life I was a night owl with horrible insomnia needing anywhere between 8-11hr of sleep to function best. Now with two little boys, I don’t get to sleep in past 6-7am most days living off average of 5 hours sleep a night broken up to breastfeed.
Love this video Matt! being a Night Owl who usually stays up until 1-2AM and will wake up around 10-11AM I really appreciate the dual perspective you gave on "Morning Birds" and "Night Owls" as well as the portion about the genetic coding! From as early as elementary school all the way until college, I remember waking up early and having stomach aches and being half asleep, so to get to this sort of validation for being a Night Owl so many years later is refreshing.
Loved this collaboration and the concept of the video! It was great seeing Sara here! Well, a mid-owl here…I tried the 5am, 6am, the what-ever-am ritual but I decided to wake up naturally (between 7:45 to 8:15) and also I sleep a 20 min siesta everyday (a Power Nap I guess…). I like sleeping and maybe saying it sounds like a little bit guilty in this obsessed society of hustling 24-7 but that´s who am I. A mid owl. Loved the concept!
Love waking up early because I feel so good, but my body naturally wants to stay up until 2AM
Absolutely! I get my best work done late into the night.
As someone with ADHD who struggled in school and now runs a successful videography business,12:53 just hit me in a big way ❤️
aw that’s so good 🤍 do you take meds now?
On and off with a low dose of Ritalin. Some days I'm in the zone, others I'm hopeless 😅
Happy to see you posting rather regularly again!
Great video, always struggled to understand which part i am in. Kind of enjoy being early riser for a bit and night owl on different times
Was waiting for your new video
This idea was great!
Very interesting video guys!
Perfect example of "replacing initial video title" with a more engaging one!
Lesson learnt from your course Matt!
Mind blowing! 🤯
I love when I'm able to wake up early, there's so much more time to get things done before the world starts waking up - but I'm also a night owl whose best hours are between 10pm-3am. Without that late night slot, I feel like I'm losing a part of the day which is for me; the calm hours where I'd draw, study, watch something, listen to a podcast etc before I go to sleep. It's a neverending battle.
I feel exactly the same way 😅
Recently found Sara through her husband John Hills skateboard channel, and I’ve been a long time subscriber to you it feels like my algorithm is just creating videos for me lol
Keep it up matt!
Great Video!
You looked really tired at the late evening! 😆 Very interesting video how it can be if... changing routines!
I've never been an early bird. I prefer staying up most nights. Maybe it's because I find comfort in darkness.
Indeed; it's very hard to explain to "morning people" but there's something so mysterious yet comforting about the night.
It's like you can experience the stillness and true energy of places. Daylight is cool and all, but it's very hard to experience this with other people around.
Researchers have found that there's most probably evolutionary reasons for the existence of night owls and early birds because nights were dangerous and having someone awake at night gave us an advantage.
Me too. I like dark. I like to go for walking alone in the dark in parks. And sleep late. But is dangerous. I know. But what i can do. I have tried countless times to go for walking every possible hour of the day and i hate it. Because of the sun where i cannot see. Too many people. Too much pollution and too loud.
@@DionyzosThat's very interesting!
Awesome to see you two and this experiment 😀 😴
Love this video! I am a night owl who comes from a family of night owls. Being made to feel lazy because I can’t get up early really sucks. When I get up early I feel like I lose my creativity even if I have more productivity and I find I burn out mentally and emotionally without having the space for creativity and unstructured time.
I love this collab!
The notification came just as I was thinking about what the perfect routine would be. Nice video!!!
this video is really fun to watch, wonderful tase of jokes and sarcasm
I'm very similar to Sarah. I tend to sleep until 10am and then slowly ease into the day. It's really difficult to rewire that. I often have morning shifts at work, starting at 6/7 am, and I can never get enough sleep before as I tend to stay awake until like midnight.
I did that when I was unemployed now I’m working full time and it’s sooo difficult to get up early i swear I’m just not cut out for it 😭😭 I’m so tired all day
11:20 😂😂 Matt you look so done I‘m sorry 😂 just go to bed 😂❤
Fellow night owl here tuning in at midnight Queensland time 😉
Hope Nat & Bubba are doing well Matt.
Enjoy the last little while of the freedom to come & go on a whim 😊
I used to watch John's skateboarding videos all the time. Awesome to see him here.
i really love your house !
I am a morning person in theory but I can relate to Sarah's anxiety issues. In an ideal world I wake up early and start tidying my
space, casually have breakfast and do some reading, go for a walk and listen to music and slowly ease into working. But then I don't have enough time to finish work so I can get my sleep to get up again early 😭😭😭
The peachy buttons are too coot❤
Love how positive this is, I get to watch my sighted non24 teen trying to deal with a world that doesn’t accommodate them at all - I need the positive ❤
I find myself extremely more alert and focus at night.
Been a night owl my whole life. Going to school as a kid was torture waking up at 6 am all those years. As soon as I was done with school switched to my preferred night owl schedule and never looked back. Although I do get all my work done the first half of the day as soon as I get up and leave the evening / late nights for myself.
Exactly! Been trying to find this comment. Not an early riser nor I was enjoying work after 10-11pm. Enjoying both the day and the nights. Cheers mate
I would literally fall asleep multiple times just trying to get ready and then I'd end up sleeping through a majority of my classes... being a night owl is awful when the world runs on a morning persons schedule.
the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Such a fun collab!!
your content gets bettter and better with every new released video
This video made me realize the differences in how my partner and I each start the day (she is more like Rachel and I am more like Matt). I often feel like I'm trapped in bed in the morning until she wakes up, but even then, it takes her a while to get out of bed. My personal takeaway from this video is that I should start doing things that can be done stationary before she wakes up, then I feel more productive and less stressed.
Why not get up and start your day?
Same with my partner and me. He gets up two to three hours before me and just tries to be super sneeky. 98% of the time I don't hear him waking up and he can get stuff done. Why not just get up quietly before your partner?
Nice to see Sara. She's great!
John and Sarah on the Chanel , I’m so hyped for this video
That DR3 helmet is so cool!
Matt you have impacted my prefrontal cortex🎉.
The thing that really brought home the point for me that the biological clock is real and you can only do so much to change it was working a job for the summer that required me to be there at 6 AM every day. No matter how dead tired I was, night time would hit and I absolutely could not sleep. My mind was racing and my energy level increased despite me desperately wanting to sleep knowing how tired I would be in the morning. Meanwhile, while I worked, I downed 3 energy drinks a day just to keep from falling asleep in the chair. I eventually settled into a routine of napping when I would get home at 4 knowing I wouldn’t get enough sleep overnight. There’s no way I could survive on a schedule like that long-term.
"Shall we go and stare at the sun like Andrew Huberman says" *proceeds to wear sunglasses and a hat contry to what Andrew Huberman says* 🤣
Love that this was posted at midnight
Two of my favorite UA-camrs wow
@TextNow010 what is this?
Sara is my spirit animal!!!
I thought I was an early bird cause I wake up when the sun comes up every day without an alarm. But seeing Sara's "slow start" morning made me realize that's actually me. I wake up early and slow roll into my day 🤣
This was so much fun Matt!
Wow, I was just dreaming for this experiment to be performed! Really gripping
After considering myself a morning person all my life, I started a new job working night shift some months ago. Rewiring my sleep schedule was surprisingly easy! I am now pretty much convinced that time is fake - I'm not a morning person or a night person, I'm literally just a person. :D You can have a productive 'morning' routine at any time of the day - well, unless it explicitly contains "seeing the sunrise," but that's just part of my evening routine now.
Early, everyday.
Thanks Matt
I resonate with this lady
I do shift work so am early riser and late riser for night shifts. Would love to see you do a video on it and how to make the most of your day/productivity when your day to day is not the same workwise.
