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 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.
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’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.
All I had to learn was sitting up rather than continuing to lay down. No brainer, but depressive thinking wasn't allowing me to get up at all. Knowing the impacts physiology of sitting up vs laying down helped out too (thanks to Dr. Huberman). He's not perfect (ahem-- his love life) , but knows a lot!
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!
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 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.
im interested in this. Mat walker would say you cannot change your chrontype- and hes kinda the authority on sleep these days... Huberman is saying you can... Joe Dispenzer, i hazard a guess would say you can... and you are saying you WERE a night owl and you changed this up... if genes are the bullet and environment is the trigger... are you saying you changed your environment so much that you changed your genes? Genuinely interested in this..
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)
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.
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
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. ❤
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
In his podcasts he says that you can start the “cyrcadian timer” just by putting on artificial lights in your home. Alternatively you can buy a bright light generator (like a light ring, or a light thats specifically made to simulate morning sun, tho they are expensive).
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.
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.
*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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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…
😃🌞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.
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 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
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”
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
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!
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
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).
Haven't watched the video yet - saw the title and thought, crap, easy answer. Get a house cat. You'll never have any trouble waking up early! 😂 (I'm talking EARLY!)
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
I hope this works for some people. I have tried all of the tricks to become a "morning person." This was not good for my mental or emotional health. I could not sleep at night no matter what I did, and I still was waking up early to feel better, to be healthier and happier. I ended up becoming ill and could not work for 5 years due to exhaustion. There is nothing wrong with being a night person. I'm glad he mentioned us and the genetics. I have always been this way and I've met a few others who are truly night people. I go to bed at 3am and wake up naturally around 10 to 11 am. It takes me a couple of hours to get going. My mind works better at night, I'm not as impulsive, and I look way better! Caffeine does not work for me. I crash and it gives me anxiety. There are plenty of night people who are healthy and lead successful lives. Elon Musk is one of them:). Humans are not all the same and not everything works for all of us. I would love to see you do a show on night people and the genetics. People need to be aware so there's not such a stigma due to lack of knowledge. Thank you for the video.
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*
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?
exactly this. also, a lot of night owl types are also not neurotypical, so that also comes heavily into play here. this advice is definitely not geared toward people like me who have severe adhd and are ten times more likely to be diagnosed with a sleep disorder (ex: circadian delay disorder).
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'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
Yeah. I know it’s not the best thing to take up your phone while still in bed but just staring at something for about 5 minutes wakes me up. There is no chance to get sunlight even at 9 am here in northern europe
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
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
Message in a bottle here (might as well throw it into space). I really really wanna wake up early, when I can do it without issue everything is better but it's just too damned difficult. I have a very irregular schedule and sometimes finish work at 9pm or later. I'm also constrained by the timetable of my 'dojo' where we exercise from 6.30 til 8, which is pretty late already, added to the fact that I don't really know what to eat to recover and have a good night's sleep after that. When I wake up early my body is just screaming for rest. Please help me Obi-Wan Commenty
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.
I want to sleep longer in the morning, but i just cant. I keep on wakeing up at 4:30 or 5 AM. Then i cant fall back to sleep anymore.... different problem - can anyone help? I go to bed 21:30--22:30...
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.
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

There is no sun at 5am. Is there an artificial way to get the light you need?

Or just watch the Huberman lab as this channel just parrots that channel. No added value
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.
lol
This is almost the exact scenario I had recently lol
You give me hope.

i do 10 pm - 4 am
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.

Hey Chris. Just wanted to say thanks.
very good background for podcasts. i like it!
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.

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.
I live in Sweden and in winter it's almost dark the whole day😅
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
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!
Thank you ❤
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
Great video
Two years getting up for work for 8am start.
Felt ill every single day.
11am wake up is the best.
You’re complaining about a 8am start? That’s late for the average working individual. Felt ill everyday, you’re joking right?
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).
Amazing cinematography! Would love to see the bts lighting setup on this podcast 😍
8:07 NIGHT PERSON 💙
Haven't watched the video yet - saw the title and thought, crap, easy answer. Get a house cat. You'll never have any trouble waking up early! 😂 (I'm talking EARLY!)
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
I hope this works for some people. I have tried all of the tricks to become a "morning person." This was not good for my mental or emotional health. I could not sleep at night no matter what I did, and I still was waking up early to feel better, to be healthier and happier. I ended up becoming ill and could not work for 5 years due to exhaustion.
There is nothing wrong with being a night person. I'm glad he mentioned us and the genetics. I have always been this way and I've met a few others who are truly night people.
I go to bed at 3am and wake up naturally around 10 to 11 am. It takes me a couple of hours to get going. My mind works better at night, I'm not as impulsive, and I look way better! Caffeine does not work for me. I crash and it gives me anxiety.
There are plenty of night people who are healthy and lead successful lives. Elon Musk is one of them:).
Humans are not all the same and not everything works for all of us.
I would love to see you do a show on night people and the genetics.
People need to be aware so there's not such a stigma due to lack of knowledge.
Thank you for the video.
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*
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?
Yes...
exactly this. also, a lot of night owl types are also not neurotypical, so that also comes heavily into play here. this advice is definitely not geared toward people like me who have severe adhd and are ten times more likely to be diagnosed with a sleep disorder (ex: circadian delay disorder).
When waking up at 5:00am or even 6:00 or 7:00 in Michigan it is dark. So how do I get sunlight early?
In Poland for 7-8 months there is no sun at 6am. What should I do?

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
I can do all the things he suggested and then an hour later fall asleep from exhaustion
Shoot I got to beg at mid night ans wake up at 4:30. In truck by 5:10. At job site at 6:15 filling out permits. I’m
Miserable!!!!
How do you turn this around? I don’t want to wake up at 4:30-5:00am every morning, I haven’t slept in in like 10 years …
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
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. 😮
Getting more in touch with neature...who woulda thunk
Me, watching this video at almost 1:30 in the morning doing emails and paperwork... "This looks like a video I should watch"... 😂😂
The sun isn’t up at 5am…
Ya Exactly, he doesn’t address that.
Alaska would like to have a word with you
He said bright light, then used the sun as an example
Yeah. I know it’s not the best thing to take up your phone while still in bed but just staring at something for about 5 minutes wakes me up. There is no chance to get sunlight even at 9 am here in northern europe
Broooo there is noooo sun at 5:30😮
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
Watching this at 4am
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
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
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
Waking up early in a society that works late is incredibly isolating.
Morning tiredness ka ye ek acha hack hai, lekin maine apne channel pe 3 aur steps cover kiye hain.
Great! A question: If my aim is getting up before sunrise, is viewing other kind of bright light then helpful too?
Message in a bottle here (might as well throw it into space).
I really really wanna wake up early, when I can do it without issue everything is better but it's just too damned difficult.
I have a very irregular schedule and sometimes finish work at 9pm or later.
I'm also constrained by the timetable of my 'dojo' where we exercise from 6.30 til 8, which is pretty late already, added to the fact that I don't really know what to eat to recover and have a good night's sleep after that.
When I wake up early my body is just screaming for rest.
Please help me Obi-Wan Commenty
Have kids there you go! I didn't even watch the video, but I'm up every day at 5 am. You're welcome. 👍
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.
No light or sun in the uk , in January
Food is a big one for me
I want to sleep longer in the morning, but i just cant. I keep on wakeing up at 4:30 or 5 AM. Then i cant fall back to sleep anymore.... different problem - can anyone help? I go to bed 21:30--22:30...
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.
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
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
