One of my bosses early in my career told me the secret of his success was not giving in to the temptation to sleep. He'd say the opportunity cost to sleeping eight hours every night is eight hours of not hustling. And that only when man transcends sleep can man succeed in life. Sadly I never got as much success as him. Sadly only one of us is still alive.
Wow
Damn
😂😂😂
This advice he gave you is terrible. Lol.
@@MrHenrymorle thats his point
"perfect is the enemy of good" such a good quote!
True but i still struggle with this
@@hnnhmlyet the struggle keeps us driven to achieve improvement because… well blimey because perfect is the enemy of good!
I love how his morning routine doesn't involve going to work yeah, that makes waking up alot easier.
It's funny innit
Yeah those who have a job can't apply any of these tips to their life.
not really, i had way more trouble waking up every morning when i was unemployed and didn’t have anything to wake up for
@@cooperswan534 this!
Well then the issue isn’t your sleep routine, it’s the job you hate. Work towards doing something else that actually makes you motivated to get up in the morning.
*People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.*
“The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.”
Always put your finances in good care to ensure that your income rises. Wealthy people achieve there financial goals and acquire riches by seeking help from finance pro(s) but many claim to have achieved success themselves.
That’s a just approach. I’m 50 but my financial life is a mess. Any ideas will go a long way in shaping my life and finances.
I operate a wide range of investments and have achieved massive growth in my finances with the help of my financial professional, making my financial goal a reality.
sear ch the full names below if you care
This hits differently when you watch it at 3am .
Yeah lol
I'm watching this at 1am
🤣
To anyone reading this, please try not to compromise your sleep and try to prioritize it over social media, social outings, etc. Especially if you have mental health problems. I've learned this time and time again growing up and I really wish our society would take sleep abnormalities and sleep problems more seriously. Sending love to those who have trouble sleeping and who are struggling with mental health problems. 💙
Thanks ❤
"Perfect is the enemy of good"
Loved that quote!
Ali saves me every single time. I started a skincare routine after watching him, and now that I'm struggling with my sleep, he's back with a sleep routine. Thank you man!❤
Oh ok, so his fear mongering gets you hooked and then you tune in, earning him more views and ad revenue. Got it.
@@1122redbird There's nothing wrong with having healthy skin or sleeping well.
its a win win for both.

Unsung heroes of RUclips 🥲
This is amazing dude
OMG than you👏🤗🙏
GOAT!!
That Pie Chart representation at 12:58 is so much helpful. It also shows how much disciplined you are in the video aesthetics for delivering fab content. 💯
This is my favourite video on this channel. Discussing something very basic but most important to go on for years.
When people around me trying to get ahead in life by working longer hours, I am struggling to have a simple routine closer to natural way of living. Thankyou so much for sharing information along with your personal experiences. Keep it up.
This video was so helpful ali . I have adhd and havent been able to watch the extensive videos out there thank you for putting it together simplified , this was really needed
This video is really well done. The visual aids and your way of breaking things down in an understandable way is so helpful. Thanks Ali!
Your tips are so helpful, Ali. You constantly inspire me to be better 💚🙌🏽
Ali is one of the most inspiring & valuable person to be around. His videos are great. Who agrees? One of my inspirations for starting RUclips. All love👊🏻
👊👊
Mine too 🙌
They are 📍
Legend! Exercise, sunlight, the right food, and the right conditions all really have a huge help in making or breaking our sleep!
Always top notch material, the design and vídeo quality only getting better! Amazing job! Thanks!
Great video, I'm a shift worker that wakes at 5am on my early shift and finish at 00:30 on my late shift. There is no regularity that can be established unfortunately.. Id love someone to make a video for shift workers and health. I work 12.5 hour shifts so earlier meals , wake up to sun and walks aren't really possible in regularity. Great video
This video is exactly what I needed today, I’ve been having trouble sleeping through the night, and always end up using my phone during the “sleep break.” Definitely going to try these things to help sleep better!
peak performance!
I was actually think “this information is great BUT what would that look like in a schedule” when the circle graph popped up. I love that you always think of everything!
Ali, I am officially a fan of your channel. Thank you for making, what others present as waffle, non-waffle and very interesting and simple. Another great video!
This was absolutely terrific. So much value, so well done. You are awesome!
Your point about avoiding bright screens from 11pm makes so much sense why a late night scroll doesn't give me dopamine boost. Thanks for distilling this widsom!
This is so insightful. I have normalized sleeping for 8 hours a night and that has really helped me to feel well rested. I also colour, meditate and do my breathing exercises so that I am less anxious before bed.
Really found the pie chart clock graph useful to summarise and collate the 9 tips! 😊
The “who am i” when you wake up got me laughing hard. Aren’t we all like that 😂😂😂
RE: Circadian Rhythm, would highly recommend smart lights!
Having a natural sunrise in the morning, at whatever time you need it, is a GAME CHANGER! It's almost as important as the super warm lighting in the evening that helps your body feel tired.
I 100% agree%. Because of my work schedule I have to wake up at 2am on weekends and setting up my smart lights to turn on slowly right before I wake has helped me tons
cannot thank you for the great timing that this video came out
Thank you so much for this. Usually I have no problem with sleep but recently due to time zone issues with my work I've been struggling a little. I look forward to trying these!
Thank you so so so much Ali! This by far the best inspirational routine and consistently back up research you done. This is amazing! I’ve been trying to get a healthy and back up routine and follow by scientific evidence for morning routine to my 20hr study and enjoy life too without burnt out. I’m sharing this with family and friends. I’ll be downloading your resourceful and inspiring back up by actual science for healthy living.
Thank you again! My 20hrs of learning is of course learning the theory of it and apply continuous education in MBC career. Thank you again Ali!!! 💙😃!
Great video Ali as always really interesting and informative. Seeing some clips in here from the old videos makes me reminisce, I miss the Cambridge days ! And the day in the life doctor vlogs 😅🥲
This is incredible, thank you for sharing and making it so easy to understand!
Basically the best video on sleep I’ve seen on RUclips !
Thanks Ali, very informative and helpful!!
I’m a visual learner so I really appreciate the graphics you’ve put in here! I also really liked the pie chart clock graph you’ve put to summarize everything you’ve talked in this video ❤ I’ve always learned a lot from your channel. Thanks Ali!!
There is no scientific evidence that the things like visual or auditory learner exists
Exactly what i was looking for . Thank you !!
If you're watching this at 2am, stop it. Put on rain sounds and go to sleep. 😊.
this has been the most informative one i've watched so far
This is perfect timing.. I needed some advice with my sleep schedule and this should really help, thank you Ali!
Matthew Walker's book "Why We Sleep" was a life changer for me. I now quasi-religiously stick to my sleep timetable (Midnight to 8:15am), it has made a huge difference to my life.
it really is a great book
I'm curious, 12:00-8:15? Do you account for 15 minutes to fall asleep, so expecting to doze off at 12:15?
@@utub1473 Sometimes, I fall asleep in a couple of minutes, other times it takes a while but I try to stick to my sleep routine.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve set an alarm for 7am, and I’m going to try and break through this awful sleep pattern I have. I’m having success with your skincare routine, and I’m excited to see where this goes :D Next up, procrastination!
I was thinking about watching a sleep related video just now! Thanks Ali!
Love the science that you shared! Thank you!
This is video is amazing!! Beautifully broken down and nicely delivered. Thank you so much. I've also never seen a schedule written out on a 24hr circle and that makes so much sense to my brain. Nothing more important than sleep! 💤
Thank you for everything Ali 🙏
All your videos are fire and soo interesting !! You're AMAZING >>✨️
i've been sleeping so badly this week. thank you for this video!
great video. that visual was super helpful.
Very comprehensive and short video especially compared to the lengthy videos out there. Thanks, now I have time to sleep.
Thanks for your advice. For us dealing with sleeping problems, this is life changing.
I badly need this.. Thanks so much!
Great video ☀️ If you make an updated sleep video in the future please include meal-timing as well.
Best vid on sleep so far without having to sit through and hour to two hours of content
Very incisive. Thanks for covering all the aspects of sleep while being succint. ❤
Your voice is really soothing, should maybe look into doing an audiobook or two
Thank you for the sleep tips btw
I love how his morning routine doesn't involve going to work 😂 yeah, that makes waking up alot easier.
For real 😂😂😂 I did the quit your job technique and now I can sleep 8 hours every night
When it comes to being colder going to bed, I highly recommend not getting under the covers until you are properly cold. If you go straight from your warm clothes to jumping under the covers it can be easy to sit there hot and bored and not very sleepy.
Ali, thanks for sharing your evidence based tips on how to sleep. I got value from this video. Your videos are quite motivating and inspirational. I started my RUclips channel after following you for a while. All the resources you shared about starting a RUclips channel still guide me to this very day
Ditto
I love the Huberman podcast but your condensed version gets the essence!
Thank you, this is great advice!
This is perfect! I love the scientific explinations
The background music is ❤ and the content is obviously 🔥
A good way to avoid screens in the evening that works for me is an evening walk. Getting everything ready for when you get back from the walk at the sound of an alarm, such that you can go straight to bed, I find is a good way to start the evening routine. The lack of stimuli and very mild exercise makes you tired as well, and you can just walk for as long as you like until tiredness sets in. Definitely recommended
I agree...
I feel the power of the sun's energy on gray days, when the mood isn't the same.
Thanks for the video... Great value... I need to have a better sleep 😴
Amazing video!! I really like it!!
Educative and inspiring video, Appreciate it 💖
Light between 11pm-4am activating hebenula and making you disappointed over the next few days BLEW MY MIND. And explains MUCH
I love the science based videos. Will need to do some research on how the circadian rhythm is impacted by shorter days in winter. Seems the light would be telling our bodies to make melatonin too early for our normal bedtime. Or even in summer when it’s not getting dark here until close to 10.
Amazing video Ali - you are my productivity inspiration - I saw a growth in grades after your tips - THE RUclips PRODUCTIVTY KING - ALI ABDAL
Keep it up Ali !!
Thank you for being there
Wow!!!! this is the one video I actually already do well😴, now I hopefully try to implement the rest of your videos, step-by-step😜💜👌🍀🤞
I stayed up late to watch this video. Not off to a great start...
Same. But I think that you are actually taking a few more steps by watching the video. I believe in you and hope that you'll sleep well !
9 hours is it y’all and I can still feel happy through unwarranted conversations
I work overnights, so have come up with a complete system: cold room, completely dark, earplugs and: l-theanine, apigenin, boswellia extract, and most importantly: magnesium l-threonate, has to be that form because of how it goes through the blood brain barrier. All that combined usually equals 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 deep sleep out of 7-8 hours total.
You are undoubtedly a gem
I first couldn’t sleep well so I thought maybe it’s because I’m not tired enough but this video just showed me the actual reason . Thank you
I really NEED this Video...👍💤.. and I really APPRECIATE You, Doc...🙏🙌🧡❤️💐
Some more great advise really easy to digest
Thank you for making this video 😴👍
Andrew Huberman is my #1 RUclipsr. I’m new to your channel, but am loving your content.
i gave this video a "Like", because i unintentionally did what Ali mentioned here. My boy starts attending morning school this year, i found myself not having time to make a nice coffee early in the morning, thus avoiding early caffeine consumption, walking my boy to school, and going to bed early thus cutting down on browsing through the phone aimlessly. i do intentionally bring my iPhone 13 mini to bed (it serves as my alarm clock), instead of my bigger Note 20U. given my aging eyesight, this act kept me from browsing the internet. so all in all, i really like this video.
what works best is:
- take a shower right before bed
- eat some fruit before bed (but dont eat huge meal within 4 hours of bedtime)
- take some magnesium
- meditate into sleep (clear your mind)
- be physically active during the day
omg this is amazing😍😍😍😍!!
YES!! THANK YOU
Why was that “science behind effective sleep” so mesmerizing
When I saw the thumbnail I said Yes! Out loud and clicked instantly, I had been waiting for this video
Hey Ali, great vid! Just wondering your thoughts on using blue light glasses at night. Thanks!
his videos are always professional
Hi Ali, could you make a video on evidence based scalp and hair care routine and right compounds to look for and product recommendation. This will be of great help. ✌️
great video!
Your skillshare course is why I actually started my RUclips channel!
Ali you are fantastic ❤
sleep is one of my absolute favorite topics (I'm currently working on yet another video about it myself) and I'd say I already know quite a lot about it but still, this was, as usual, so very insightful 🙌
Was ignore the weekend (alarm clock) a real tip or a joke, I truly couldn’t tell. Thanks
I think the melatonin and cortisol colours are inverted at 3:09, but besides that another great video Ali!
Him talking about the sun so much while I'm here in Sweden, where the sun isn't even up when I drive to work, and it's already gone down when I drive home!
That coffee subscription was quite clever 🎉
You got straight to the point and were super informative. You deserve more recognition for that!
Cheers mate, it’s 2am and I’m watching this
