I'm kinda confused. You say the full episode goes live on Monday but at the end of the video you point to a video that was 10 months ago? Is there a new podcast episode with @hubermanlab coming on Monday and you'll update the link once is out?
Loool- I have three kids and I currently wake up at 12, 3 and 5 am. For the teething 16 month old. When she decides to sleep through though, I get amazing sleep and naturally wake up at 6. The older kids usually sleep through until 7 or 8, so that’s nice.
1. Set alarm for 5 A.M. 2. Sunlight exposure. 3. Light exercise. 4. Caffeine + Breakfast. 5. Social Interaction. 6. Late sunlight exposure. (It'll be miserable but try your best not to sleep during the day. It'll be fine soon.)
I have a 2.5 hour nap when I get home from work most days. Then I generally sleep for 5 hours at night before waking up at 5am to go to work. The reason why is it helps me function when I get called into work at midnight and get stuck working all night long after working a 12+ hour day shift.
2 weeks ago, I woke up at 4am for no reason and could not go to bed. I then rolled around in bed until 5am before I realized I wasn’t going to fall back asleep. I said “fuck it” and went to the gym at 5:30am to get a workout in before work. I’ve now been doing that everyday since, and I can’t see myself stopping.
@@CC-mr5xqI've found 6am is easier to manage the social life because it sees you in bed around 10pm. You're not going clubbing with a 10pm bedtime but you can still catchup after work for dinner or drinks. I will allow myself 1 social occassion that keeps me up past 10pm per month but don't let yourself sleep in past 8am the next day and immediately go back to 6am wakeups.
I started off using red lense glasses in the evening 1hr before bed. That along with a very small dose of melatonin (1mg) helps me reinforce a specific bed time. It worked so well I ended up buying multicolor LED light bulbs. Now all my lights turn red at 10% brightness automatically every day at 9pm. That signals it's time to put away my phone, brush teeth, etc to get ready for bed. I work as an engineer that has to work both days and nights at random times because a lot of my work needs to be performed during a midnight maintenance window (12am-6am). Everything Huberman mentioned is stuff I figured out on my own and practiced for about 10yrs. So I can confirm it all works.
I went from night owl (sleep 3am-11am)to early bird (sleep 8pm-4am) in one day because I would get fired if I didn't. Worked out great. I find no caffeine works best for me.
Out of necessity we had to start walking our dog several times a day. This meant 5:40 every morning I was walking with my husband before the kids got up. Hilariously that one simple thing is a habit/routine that has changed so much. I am ready to go for the day when I get back, refreshed, awake, and excited for the day. So cool how much walking outside right away in the morning can change the trajectory!
I was a "night owl" for the first 15 or so years of my adult life, until it made me so unhealthy from sleep deprivation, I had to make a radical change. I learned to reprogram my brain, hormones, and habit to the default healthy morning riser. I've been healthy and happy for many years since.
this couldn't have come at a better time, I returned from a vacation abroad and am still jet lagged one week later.. I went to bed at 11 AM yesterday and felt so dejected when I woke up and realized I missed the entire day.
I’m in the army, father and husband, part time teacher/coach for teenagers. I’ve struggled with consistency in my sleep routine. When I trip out of town for work for several days, I focus on resetting my sleep cycle earlier in the morning. Getting past the first few days and being disciplined with light pollution/exposure has made an incredible impact on this routine.
bro you gotta do one of these with a bunch of speakers and get each other’s thoughts and feedback on each other that would be so entertaining like a group podcast and ask them what they think abt something
I’ve been waking up with no alarm at 4 am every morning. Rested and ready to go! It’s a bit annoying on the weekends but I like being up early. All it took is 2 simple steps. Not easy but simple. ❤
light and exercise are a yes for me and certainly work outs which really gets you going and you have to force yourself into it to start with, talking to people are a no. I do not like to have conversations in the morning (difficult with a family)
Main objective - To train the circadian clock to be alerted at a certain time of day and make you wake up without a damn alarm A. Seeing light at the time you want to wake up B. physical exercise at that time (most affective) C. Social interaction at that time
Muslims have a morning prayer right before sunrise which is pretty cool because it makes you get out of bed and move your body, get some social interaction at the mosque and catch some sunlight on the way back.
All 3 of the abrahamic religions are suppose to pray at least 3 times a day. Jews and Christian’s do morning prayer too. And afternoon prayer. And night prayer.
It's true! I was a morning person, but ever since I changed my job, everything shifted and now I'm definitely a night owl. When I take some time off and spend more time outside my sleep schedule changes back to more a morning type.
After working nights for several years I thought when I switched to dayshift I would feel great and healthy. I started going to sleep by 9 or 10 and waking up at 5AM. Felt terrrrible for about 6-8 months. Circadian rhythm finally switched to feel normal again. But still, if I ever pick up a night shift randomly, it’s like my body switches right back to night schedule and I wanna sleep till noon for about the next week.
The biggest obstacle that I needed to overcome was going to bed early and saying no to late hangouts. Once i got over that over that, I've been making up usually at around 5:20
Thats great, but I still have to get out of bed to get outside to see light. How do you get out of bed in the first place is what i thought he was going to help with
You have to genuinely want to get out of bed. If you can’t think of a reason then it won’t work. My reasoning was that is been snoozing my whole life and it wasn’t working for me and making me depressed. So each morning I was hit with a thought of “if I don’t get up nothings gonna change, I need to do this”
You wait until there's sunlight. I wake up 4-5am. Meditate for an hour, sometimes journal and chill outside if it's still dark and observe my habits, the things around me and when the sun starts coming up I go for a walk.
*pro-tip - to assist in reducing light from your phone in the evenings you can enable an accessibility shortcut in your phone settings (iPhones) and make it so that your phone screen goes all red and the white point brightness is reduced. This helps me immensely.
same here 😉 I thought what on earth he is talking about... I usually waking up at 4-30 am and living in the UK...and sun especially in winter 😅 maybe he live in california
😃🌞I would say that we should not underestimate the importance of waking up early. It really is something that can transform our routine for the better.
This is groundbreaking. I thought that Dr. Michael Breuss said that you couldn't switch. Since then I lived as a bear sleep chronotype, but I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks so much for sharing!
@@mohammadtamim3732 yes and I did like it. It was very hard at the beginning, but it got better everyday, like a jetlag. However, it didn't make much sense for me because my goal this year is to work on my career as a techno dj and producer, which I do at nighttime. If my goal would be to go all-in on my health, I will try the early morning routine again, but for now it makes way more sense to be awake late at night, after my day job and when the techno parties are.
One part is missing - if someone is a Night Owl, would shifting circadian rhythm by five or six hours not affect their overall wellbeing, if they are supposedly genetically adapted to one specific scenario?
I feel like crap every morning all my life. It's getting worse the older I get. If I wake up early for work I get tired more near the end of the day. I'm almost 52 years old now....I also have a 6 year old husky who tries to get me up too. When I was young I use to say the old skit from the movie "Road House" "I will get all the rest when I'm dead doc" Sam Elliott..
This is great if you sleep alone and have control over your own schedule. This doesn't help for those of us that co-sleep with partners. My SO is an early riser and I'm a natural night owl, which means that either I'd go to bed later (waking him up and missing out on time together before falling asleep) or earlier (where I'm tossing and turning for hours). Genuinely don't know what the answer is here. Would love to exercise in the morning, but I'd literally be sacrificing sleep to do so. It's taken my whole life to finally fall asleep around midnight.
I have heard good feedback from couples who have tried a "sleep divorce". It means they either sleep in different rooms or on different beds so disruptions are minimised.
I recently found out that going to bed at fixed hours makes you wake up early, the only thing you need is regularity and enough sleep. As soon as your rhythm is synced (centered around) with the sun, you will wake up by yourself always at the same time (+-15min), there is nothing painful or difficult. All my life I've had a lack of sleep. One thing that helps is to not do anything exciting 30/60min before going to bed. I don't think that you need to wake up at 5AM to make it work, anything between 5AM and 8AM is fine.
I'm trying to wake up early every day, yesterday I spelt at 11 but today I woke up at 7:30, I wanted to wake-up at 5:30 but I just hit the snooze button. I then realised I must see Andrew's take on this topic
Also, if you plan to start your 5 AM Jocko protocol, go to bed a 1-2 hours earlier than usual the first time. That way it;s stress free.(and stick to one protocol at a time).
Always used to get bullied in school so my memory of morning is associated with the anxiety of going to school. 20 years later, now whenever i wake up and try to do anything early morning, i feel some of it still. I pray and go to gym but can't go to work for some reason early. I delay going to work
Process- A. Set the alarm for 5 am not matter what time you went to sleep that night, get up and do the 4 things Andrew described Food and caffeine are optional Yes there is only one step Do this for 3 days no compromise*
Rick rubín said it many times that he used to wake at noon and staying up all night, until Phil Maffetone said to him to wake up and straight away go outside for sunlight, that was it!
Completely agree on dogs counting as a social interaction... My pitbull loves to walk for a while in the morning but not when sun is down, we both sleep like heros
So I can agree with everything he's saying EXCEPT exercising in the morning. I don't have time to workout in the morning so I'd rather workout after work
Huberman has mentioned elsewhere that he often goes (at the time anyways) for a 10-15 minute walk and that is when he gets his early sunlight in. Would you have time for that? Even that little movement might help accomplish what you need from exercise. And two-minutes of burpees :)
So what did humans do before we learned to brew coffee? I love coffee, but you can achieve natural, healthy morning ease of life by doing the light exposure, exercise, uniform wake times (weekend included), roughly uniform sleep times, no screens within 1-2 hours of bed, no late eating, little to zero alcohol (on any night you actually want good sleep), and no caffeine after noon.
Andrew is highly bias when talking about coffee. He picks and chooses which data to talk about and a bias as he drinks coffee and when you hear him talk bout it, he clearly sounds like an addict. “I can’t do what I need to do before I have my morning coffee” - Andrew huberman. Words of an addict
Can confirm, i am genetically geared toward nightowl and i moved some plants and the auto on for the lights and im at least awake even if i still dont get out of bed immediately
Andrew left out one important thing: Get a cat. He'll be waking you up at 5 every morning meowing next to his bowl that still has cat food from the day before.
I'm night person and i love that but i wanna change to be morning person because I have many reason to become morning person.Thank you for your advice .I work hard of my self to be morning person.i well back after 3 days and tell them to reselt
I really struggle with my sleep. I will be ready to sleep by 11pm-12am but then struggle to wake up before 10-11am. If I went to bed earlier it’d still be the same. 10-11am is the time I like to wake up
This is what Muslims do through Morning prayer. Wake up at around 5 Pray - moving yourself Socialise with people at the mosque Sunlight while going and coming back from the mosque Caffeine/ Tea after the prayer.
8:42 “If you’re not in a place like Iceland” - I feel attacked 😂 Or maybe I feel seen because it is really challenging to wake up early here but I think it’s mostly due to my terrible lack of judgement and disciple between 16-22:00…
Yes. I wake up at 5.00 and then trying to find what to do for 2 hours in order to let my whole family have their rest. And all morning productivity disappeared. The quietest thing I am able to do is scrolling the phone under the bed cover.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth in this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
I got in a good habit of going to bed at 7pm, 8:30pm latest. meditate for an hour now and early 7 go on a walk. If I don't do that anymore, I thought off for the whole day..
Get chickens. Or get an alarm clock? I go to bed at 9pm to read, asleep by 9:30pm. Awake at 5am for coffee, reading/praying (my holy hour), and ready for the day at 6am.
have you tried switching your sleep schedule and stick to it consistently for a period of time? I also really struggled waking up early and being productive but i’ve finally got the hang of it after doing it for 30 days straight. I used a journal to keep myself accountable and stay on track. Key is to stay consistent and go to bed around the same time every night.
@@MagicPants647 Of course. I went to grade school for 18 years lol. Then did a 2 year medical program.... Then got a full time job. No schedule repetition, blue light glasses, melatonin dosing, etc helps unfortunately. When I was a baby they kept doing tests on me thinking I was in pain bc I wouldn't sleep. By 16 I had already done multiple sleep studies. I was given OTC and RX meds to help get me through grade school. Struggled immensely as an adult. Then embraced it and got a night shift; which completely changed my life. Years later, the 23&me data confirmed what I already knew.
If there is no sunlight until 0830 in the morning. What can I do to wake up bright and feel ready for the day? (Live in Norway) the sun goes down before 0430 in the afternoon
What about when you live in England and the sun doesn't rise till 8am and sets at 4pm? Winter in England feels so un-natural to be in as a human and effects almost everyone I know in some way mentally
Honestly, I'm so sick of how our society looks down on anyone who's not a "morning person". I'm probarbly one of those who's genetically wired to stay up late. For literally as long as I can remember it's been a struggle to conform to an early sleep scheduel. I've had multiple strategies, doctors, theripists and help from others, but it hasn't made a difference for me. It's like forcing a square peg into a round hole... and honestly I do not think it is healthy how so manny of us, feel forced to conform and contort our own natual and unique sleep cycles to that "morning people" lest we be seen as lazy or having something wrong with us... I'd like to see morning people try to force themselves to be as functionaln and productive at 2am as many of us are... Sorry for venting here... I know I'm overreacting a fair bit, but this has just been a stresful subject in my life for a while...

How can you get light exposure if it's dark out at 5 am
I bought a cheap light bar on Amazon.
Turn on the light in your room right after your alarm goes off or turn on a flashlight and leave it shining at you?
You wait until there's sunlight. I wake up 4-5am. Meditate for an hour, sometimes journal and chill outside if it's still dark and observe my habits, the things around me and when the sun starts coming up I go for a walk.

Always used to get bullied in school so my memory of morning is associated with the anxiety of going to school. 20 years later, now whenever i wake up and try to do anything early morning, i feel some of it still. I pray and go to gym but can't go to work for some reason early. I delay going to work
Process-
A. Set the alarm for 5 am not matter what time you went to sleep that night, get up and do the 4 things Andrew described
Food and caffeine are optional
Yes there is only one step
Do this for 3 days no compromise*
fantastic podcast
Rick rubín said it many times that he used to wake at noon and staying up all night, until Phil Maffetone said to him to wake up and straight away go outside for sunlight, that was it!
Completely agree on dogs counting as a social interaction... My pitbull loves to walk for a while in the morning but not when sun is down, we both sleep like heros
Basically, wake up (something you don't want to do) to do shit I don't want to do. None of this is going to get my head off the pillow.
Huberman has been getting a lot of crap lately from other UA-camrs, but my life has only improved after listening to him.
Same.
Keep on rockin'! 🤘
Ya he's getting crap for his personal life which honestly is none of my business. His podcast is amazingly informative, and I won't stop watching it.
Hang on, what other UA-camrs are giving him shit?!
@@jamessaltlife The most recent one was a guest on Doctor Mike’s channel. I trust Huberman’s professionalism
@@MelFlagg Yep I won’t stop watching neither. I applied his protocols for better sleep and I literally got results in a week
Amazing cinematography! Would love to see the bts lighting setup on this podcast 😍
I live in Sweden and in winter it's almost dark the whole day😅
So I can agree with everything he's saying EXCEPT exercising in the morning. I don't have time to workout in the morning so I'd rather workout after work
Huberman has mentioned elsewhere that he often goes (at the time anyways) for a 10-15 minute walk and that is when he gets his early sunlight in. Would you have time for that? Even that little movement might help accomplish what you need from exercise. And two-minutes of burpees :)
So what did humans do before we learned to brew coffee? I love coffee, but you can achieve natural, healthy morning ease of life by doing the light exposure, exercise, uniform wake times (weekend included), roughly uniform sleep times, no screens within 1-2 hours of bed, no late eating, little to zero alcohol (on any night you actually want good sleep), and no caffeine after noon.
Andrew is highly bias when talking about coffee. He picks and chooses which data to talk about and a bias as he drinks coffee and when you hear him talk bout it, he clearly sounds like an addict.
“I can’t do what I need to do before I have my morning coffee” - Andrew huberman. Words of an addict
Getting more in touch with neature...who woulda thunk
Great! A question: If my aim is getting up before sunrise, is viewing other kind of bright light then helpful too?
Can confirm, i am genetically geared toward nightowl and i moved some plants and the auto on for the lights and im at least awake even if i still dont get out of bed immediately
What do you do in the morning when it is fall/winter and the sun doesn’t come out until later in the day
This advice is great but not for most of us normal people. 😮
Andrew left out one important thing: Get a cat. He'll be waking you up at 5 every morning meowing next to his bowl that still has cat food from the day before.
lol my cat wakes me up at friggin' 5am
😂
Hahahahaha mine got me up at 4am today.... 😂 😂
Cat protocol
How to wake up early ☀️
1. Morning Sunlight
2. Exercise
3. Caffeine + Breakfast
4. Social Interaction
+ Evening sunlight
Watching this at 4am
I'm night person and i love that but i wanna change to be morning person because I have many reason to become morning person.Thank you for your advice .I work hard of my self to be morning person.i well back after 3 days and tell them to reselt
My question is what if you want to wake up before the sun comes up? Sunrise here in FL is 6:45am.
Then turn on artificial lights as much as you can and exercise a bit when you do.. when it rises go for a walk to get that sunlight as well
I am surprised by how people think of this a being really hard, it's just normal life unless you are not doing anything during the day
I really struggle with my sleep. I will be ready to sleep by 11pm-12am but then struggle to wake up before 10-11am. If I went to bed earlier it’d still be the same. 10-11am is the time I like to wake up
This is what Muslims do through Morning prayer.
Wake up at around 5
Pray - moving yourself
Socialise with people at the mosque
Sunlight while going and coming back from the mosque
Caffeine/ Tea after the prayer.
8:42 “If you’re not in a place like Iceland” - I feel attacked 😂
Or maybe I feel seen because it is really challenging to wake up early here but I think it’s mostly due to my terrible lack of judgement and disciple between 16-22:00…
Yes. I wake up at 5.00 and then trying to find what to do for 2 hours in order to let my whole family have their rest. And all morning productivity disappeared. The quietest thing I am able to do is scrolling the phone under the bed cover.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth in this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
I got in a good habit of going to bed at 7pm, 8:30pm latest. meditate for an hour now and early 7 go on a walk. If I don't do that anymore, I thought off for the whole day..
In Poland for 7-8 months there is no sun at 6am. What should I do?
Watching this at 11pm before bed 😅
We just sleeper early like 8pm or 9pm and after we caught up with the sleep deficit, we automatically got up easier in the morning
And what happens if you keep waking up once, twice or even more times in the night. That being the case, I will wreck myself trying to get to 3 days.
Get chickens. Or get an alarm clock? I go to bed at 9pm to read, asleep by 9:30pm. Awake at 5am for coffee, reading/praying (my holy hour), and ready for the day at 6am.
I can do all the things he suggested and then an hour later fall asleep from exhaustion
I'm one of those genetic "night owls."
I'd pay a lot of money to be able to change it.
People don't understand how debilitating it is.
If you watched Huberman's episode with Samer Hattar, you will have doubts about the night owl/early bird theory.
@@tervanruth6024 🤦♀️
have you tried switching your sleep schedule and stick to it consistently for a period of time? I also really struggled waking up early and being productive but i’ve finally got the hang of it after doing it for 30 days straight. I used a journal to keep myself accountable and stay on track. Key is to stay consistent and go to bed around the same time every night.
I laughed when he said by day 3 you would feel alert at 5 am. I have never felt alert at 7, let alone 5. It doesn't matter how early I get to bed.
@@MagicPants647 Of course. I went to grade school for 18 years lol. Then did a 2 year medical program.... Then got a full time job. No schedule repetition, blue light glasses, melatonin dosing, etc helps unfortunately.
When I was a baby they kept doing tests on me thinking I was in pain bc I wouldn't sleep. By 16 I had already done multiple sleep studies. I was given OTC and RX meds to help get me through grade school. Struggled immensely as an adult. Then embraced it and got a night shift; which completely changed my life. Years later, the 23&me data confirmed what I already knew.
Can I mix ambient tracks that don't have a tempo with the programme?
Food is a big one for me
Watching this at 3 am
That 4th zeitgeber though...may be a deal breaker 😂🤦♀️
Waking up early in a society that works late is incredibly isolating.
Where do these guys live? There is no sunlight here in the winter at least until 8 a.m. it’s pitch black dark when I wake up at 6 a.m. and it sucks
If there is no sunlight until 0830 in the morning. What can I do to wake up bright and feel ready for the day? (Live in Norway) the sun goes down before 0430 in the afternoon
I wake up around 8 am every Day!😊
What about when you live in England and the sun doesn't rise till 8am and sets at 4pm? Winter in England feels so un-natural to be in as a human and effects almost everyone I know in some way mentally
Change all your house lights to red. You'll feel sleepy earlier. Going to sleep earlier is easier than forcing yourself to wake up earlier.
Honestly, I'm so sick of how our society looks down on anyone who's not a "morning person".
I'm probarbly one of those who's genetically wired to stay up late. For literally as long as I can remember it's been a struggle to conform to an early sleep scheduel. I've had multiple strategies, doctors, theripists and help from others, but it hasn't made a difference for me. It's like forcing a square peg into a round hole... and honestly I do not think it is healthy how so manny of us, feel forced to conform and contort our own natual and unique sleep cycles to that "morning people" lest we be seen as lazy or having something wrong with us...
I'd like to see morning people try to force themselves to be as functionaln and productive at 2am as many of us are...
Sorry for venting here... I know I'm overreacting a fair bit, but this has just been a stresful subject in my life for a while...
