Wether you want to get in the best shape of your life or you want to build a successful business, improve yourself and live the life of your dreams, I will inspire and help you to get there.
I understand these 5am videos get a lot of views, but the reality is the most important thing for productivity is getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep, and not forcing yourself to sleep early just to wake up at 5am. As long as you get good sleep, and complete your daily goals, there is no need to wake up at 5am
YES. even 8 to 9 hours is better
It can give structure to your day though. Since I wake up early instead of 12 in the midday I'm so much more in control of my day. 5 A.M is a bit overkill IMO. 6:30 is just fine. It's just that these Lifestyle UA-camrs add so much complete utter bullsh*t to their morning routines. "I don't check my phone in the first hour"; "I take cold showers"; "I meditate for x hours every morning". Fuck that shit bro you don't we all know you don't. Like we make it way too difficult for ourselves. Just go to bed earlier, wake up earlier, drink your coffee eat your breakfast and go do your thing.
@@Melvin420x12 nothing but facts here, like for me it doesn't matter how early i wake up if i dont get my 7-8 hours i can't do shit for work, you can even wake up even at 10 am and do your deep work all the way to night time without issues depending on your responsibilities. obviously earlier in the day you get less distractions from people unless you live alone but all this 3am and 5am bs does absolutely nothing than waking up at 7 am or 9 am
You didn't watch the video before commenting, but yes indeed, sleep is the most important! This is why I explain the slowly building it up for your circadian rhythm and having a proper night time routine. There are other benefits to waking up at 5AM which I all explain in the video. Guess what? Most people do not "complete their daily goals", so while you're totally right, there is a clear benefit to a number of people to this lifestyle change. I didn't make this video as a challenge or experiment for views, I started doing this many years ago ;)
I beg to differ. It’s all subjective. But….. waking up and getting stuff done when less energies are out and about is actually amazing. This only applies if you live in a big city.
Informative AND cinematic! YESSSS MERIJN!!!
I love those good old day in the life style, keep em coming! Also im still waiting for you to bring back(at least once) the student esthetics theme, it is real good memories
Sounds good, thx for the input!
Hey Merijn, wat een toffe beelden van onze nieuwe locatie 💪 Tot snel weer!
This is the video I needed to see, I stay hitting the snooze button lol I've been trying to break this habit!
Haha let’s make it happen!! Try putting your phone in a different room before sleeping, you got this mama
It's cool to see Stan the man again in your video
We back 💪
For some it works, for others it don't. I can honestly say that it works for me as well.
Thanks bro, enjoyed the vid!
Exactly! Glad to hear it
Your hair is looking very nice at this length merijn! Will try this haircut too, i’m at a longer length now but this looks clean
Appreciate it! II'm not sure where I will take it yet lol, but I def recommend
@@MerijnOfficial yeah it looks great on you. I used to have my hair like that as well during my student years. It's a chick magnet 😜
5 A.M is a great lifestyle. Will add thus to my life too when I finished school
Great video mate! I’m a night owl but will try it soon as well. 🙏
Great video and nice haircut btw!
Cheers!
I was the first thumbs up let's get it 💪💯🙌
Just something to add which goes with a lot of what you are saying. I find that setting an early time to wake up such as 5am helps you build momentum for your day. It is the first thing on your list of things you plan to accomplish and if you start your morning with something as relatively easy as getting up at a certain time you can use that as a momentum builder to tackle your other tasks for the day. No matter how out of control your day gets you can always go to bed that day knowing that at least you stuck to your core discipline of getting up that time and doing your best to take on the rest of your tasks... I suppose this also helps instil some internal grattitude towards yourself to always have something positive to think about at the end of your day.
Agree for sure 💯
I wanna start waking up at 5 during this summer here in South Africa, by 6AM the sun is out blazing hot, I'd like to take a morning jog. But I'd definitely aim for 6 or half 6 in the winter. But definitely have to work even harder to sleep earlier to get enough rest.
Not for everyone, but it definitely worked for me. My income nearly doubled since I started waking up early. It's so helpful getting up at a time wherever no one is texting, messaging, or no other roommates and family are up at the same time to bother you. I'm very A.D.D., so I need to optimize myself and focus on one thing at a time to help maximize my potential. Getting up right into the action where so much crap is going on already is terrible for my focus.
I feel you mate. Glad to hear that it’s been great for you
Same for me!! I have more ideas, I’m much more positive and productive and my health and fitness also improved dramatically (and I was fit before). I have a different attitude with this starting time
I believe that whether you know the reason or not, you'll notice if it works or not for you. So while i cringe at these motivational videos, i did wake up at 5 am for a week and that week was a great week for me both in terms of productivity and self-confidence, i'll tell you.
For sure, you'll notice. Great to hear that it's been good for you!
Your 5 am is my 9 am. For me it’s discipline to wake up at 9, i will never understand the point of sleeping earlier at night and waking up earlier. Same exact thing.
❤nice
How does your gf feel about your alarm going off at 4:55am in the morning? Or are you already naturally waking up then? And is she not waking you up when she goes to bed at midnight or whenever she sleeps? So much easier to do this as a single man lol.
Why i wake up at 5... I have to go to work lol
I'm back in bodybuilding after seven years
Nice one! what's your goal?
@@MerijnOfficial My goal is to build muscle mass and then dry up to get an athletic body
❤❤❤
Read Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. U will never cut sleep or set the alarm again.
You want to live your life.
Instead of life living you.
Sometimes you gotta get up early to take advantage of your day. Some people can sleep in. Whatever works best for your day.
That’s right!
the thing is i come home from work at 5am :c
Thought you were going to quit fitness?
It doesnt matter what time you wake up, what matters is what you do during the time you are woke.
Yes, that's very true. But if it helps you with doing things different during the time you are awake, it does matter ;) For some people, this can mean sleeping in and staying up late, when they are night owls. It does matter. Figure out what works for you.
Well there is a difference between being woke and being awake 😂
I thought someone punched you in the eye on the thumbnail 😂
Yea got in a fight with the drunk people on the street that were still awake at 5
I wake up at 4:50... gives me 10 minutes to make up my bed, brushing my teeth, quick splash of water in my face and I am ready at exactly 5 AM..... 7 days a week!
thats pretty bad. watch every sleep scientist or expert and they say that this is what you should not do, unless you want alot of health problems later in life…
@@nielsie22 Uhm...no?
Where is the shirt from?😊
Which shirt in the video? there is multiple haha
@@MerijnOfficial the last shirt 😅
@@kevingreeven1998 It's from Zumo (store in The Netherlands)
Then you got me staying up at 5AM 💀
martijn en spiritueel ontwaken :P
Remember that an hours sleep before 12 is as good as two hours after 12
makes zero sense
Try working in night shifts. The concept of early and late doesn't apply, you will need to work around the schedule to get things done and you will have a whole new perspective on it. A lot of people can work on this. Try working from 9pm to 5am for a week, it will change your perspective
It's well known that many truly successful people wake up early 🙂
Dit is toch zo’n onzin. Of je nou om 5 uur opstaat of niet, het enige wat je doet is het verschuiven van je uren!! Je moet namelijk ook veel eerder naar bed wil je kunnen functioneren. Tenzij je echt kan leven op weinig slaap dan is dit pas relevant.
Je hebt duidelijk de video niet gekeken. Doe dat maar eerst voordat je een comment plaatst. Je leeft inderdaad op dezelfde slaap, en je verschuift inderdaad je uren, maar er zijn anderen redenen waarom het een verschil kan maken. Die leg ik uit.
everyone one who does not get good 7-9 hours sleep a day, might get alot of problems if you only sleep like 4-6 hours a day. Things like alzheimer can be a cause later on in life if you sleep less alot of the time. Its fine to wake up at 5, if you go sleep at 8-9pm
It's a ridiculous idea to wake up that early and to sacrifice sleep. Above anything, sleep is always the number 1 priority, wether it's productivity or lifting weights or feeling more in control of your time. You indeed have to sleep early ;)
@@MerijnOfficial so at what time do you go to bed my man?
Wait until you have children, I’m lucky to get consecutive 6 hours. Still grind though!
9-10 is fine. And he made it clear you need to go to bed early.
Nice black eye... did you get knocked out by some teenager???
