    I am a medical student, graduating next year and sleeping 8 hrs per night. You can do anything you want, you don't have to sleep less, you just have to have a better management of your time. Sleeping is essential for your brain functions. It may feel like you're okay with 5 hrs sleep but in the long term people who slept less than 7 hours were the ones with more health issues. Be careful.

      @ceven8037 5 лет назад +78

      Residents aren't med students, they've already graduated and are working in hospitals as junior doctors. I'm not sure how it works outside Australia, but as long as you make the most of your days to study, you could easily get 8hrs sleep as a med student, even on rotations in the hospital.

    people get hung up on waking up early. you can do all that stuff in the evening, after work. the reason you wake up early to meditate, workout, study, read etc. is because it is 1000x easier to own the time in the morning than it is to own your time after work.
    when you leave your job you're probably tired and stressed from a hard day of concentration. friends will ask you to hang out, you might have an event to go to, you may have to work late, or some other distraction will inevitably pop up in the evening. nothing ever "pops up" between the hours of 4-7. There are no distractions.
    Want to earn a certification, wake up early and work on it. want to learn the guitar, wake up early and work on it. want to get swole? wake up early and work on it.

      Rowena Tsai It might be really nice to randomize the alarm to not get used to anything. The app Sleep Cycle lets you do that. I downloaded it today, and to me it looks like an absolutely fantastic app. I’ve also been a cronic snoozer for years! It’s time to get that fixed!

  • @dianahayday9194
    @dianahayday9194 6 лет назад +237

    One tip I can recommend for those who struggle to get out of bed:
    After your alarm goes off stay in bed but STRETCH instead of going back to bed.
    It works so well for me!!
    I like to just lay for about another few minutes and by stretching it slowly wakes up my body plus it feels good!
    Look up yoga moves in bed videos on RUclips and you'll find lots of ways to stretch 😃😃

    As someone with depression I actually found this video super helpful, I find it hard to get out of bed at all, let alone early in the morning. I particularly related to the idea of “decision fatigue” although I hadn’t really put my finger on what it was before you articulated it.Thanks for the tips, I’ll definitely try them out!

    Just cut down social media you don't need to see what everyone is up to, cuz if you don't you'll wake up early start looking at your phone then baaam time wasted and waking up early went in vain..
    It's not just about building the habit of waking up early but also what habits are you going to do when you wake up and this is exactly why it's a hard thing to maintain,
    Also wasting morning time feels a lot more frustrating than wasting a night time

      Lol XD i have two sets of alarm. Their difference is the alarm ring. So i don't wake up to the same tune every morning. I tend to easily tune out anything that i hear regularly so if i hear the same sound every 3:30am everyday for 2-3 weeks my brain just gets used to it and learns to "not hear it". And i'll wake up later because i didn't hear the alarm ring. I also change the ring at some times because i easily get bored of the same tune. ( ̄▽ ̄;; )
      But if i have things planned for the next day, i just automatically wake up early. The same when i had work.

    Omg youtube is scaring me! I've been waking up at 4:30 lately to teach English to Chinese students, and I actually liked this time of the morning SO MUCH that I was really considering always waking up around 5 am. I think 6 am would be great at first, but I am aiming for 5 am. I got this video in my suggested videos, and I love your channel!!! So glad I found it. Thanks for your amazing good tips!

Everything will be confidential but pretty soon ill be creating a web site so i can star my own business..

  • @kmms4720
    @kmms4720 5 лет назад +12

    Honestly though,
    There was a small period in the year 20 of my life where I went to sleep at like 11 and woke up at 7 and it felt so good. Not only was it because I felt highly productive already because I’m already being disciplined but also because of health; I have anemia so the fact that I’d be feeling more tired than others because of my health, which is already affecting me in a way I can’t really control, I CAN control my sleep time. Honestly, the best week (or month) of my life because wow!! The difference is clear!
    I so want to get back into it but I’ve just been lazy so any tips drop them my way but I’ll do my best to redo this because it was honestly such a benefit!!
    Overall what I’m trying to say is that I was inspired by your video 💖

I've been looking into rigging a lamp with a timer so maybe the light will do half the work of waking me up and I could just set one or two normal alarms

    I've been waking up between 8 and 11am during my holidays then I started school and I couldn't change my routine so I've been skipping school. I would literally get into bed at 7/8 and couldn't sleep until 1/2. This is because I was going on my phone in bed. I got quite behind in school so I had a lot to do this weekend. I set my alarm for 5am but was expecting to snooze until 6am. I read before falling asleep... And I woke up by myself at 4am!!! First thing I thought of was this video I watched ages ago (:
    I'm so happy, when I saw how early I woke up and tried to get back to sleep but I literally couldn't because my body was already rejuvenated and ready for the day. So I got up, stretched, did my devotions (spent time with God for the first time in a long time!), studied for a bit, had breakfast and took my dog on a big run.
    Right now having a study break and already gotten so much done.
    So moral of the story, don't go on screens before bed, listen to your body and you CAN do it!!

    I used to go to bed at 4am or even 5am when I was a bartender or server. Now, my career is much better and I wake up at 4am. Definitely get everything ready the night before and go to bed so you get enough sleep for YOU. I hate waking up so early but really, it's way more beneficial than sleeping in until noon or later. I have serious issues with sleeping and I know that this does work.

    I just found your channel, and I'm generally not a fan of lifestyle and self-help vloggers because I find it to be too gimmicky, and a lot of them come across as flexing ("I eat only organic food from my own garden, I seemingly don't really have a job, I live in this giant house and these are all reasons I'm better than you" type of vibe that makes me uncomfortable and bored after less than a minute) but your videos have a totally different vibe. Your videos are very calming and very down to earth. You can tell immediately when you open your mouth that you're a humble, spiritual, and amazing person. You really are like, future goals, without seeming unattainable. 😍

    Haha I usually fall asleep at around 3am xD I woke up at 9am today and I felt really proud of myself especially because it's summer vacation... I don't think I'll ever get to your level but those tips are super helpful ! I feel more energetic at night but unfortunately it's not the way our society works so I'm trying to become more of a morning person...

    I did wake up @3:45 am and get out of bed @4:00 am but now since winter is here I've been hibernating literally it's just so cold now :// I loved waking up early! Can't wait for spring :)

    You inspire me. I need to get my shit together, and for some reason, I believe that I can because you did it?
    You just give me the vibes that you did NOT have your shit together before, but finally do.
    So I believe you.

    I've started waking up at 5am after reading The Miracle Morning. I can't even put into world how much I improve my productivity. I'm reading a lot more, I'm working out, I'm studying way better and by 7pm I'm almost finished my check list.

    Thank you so much, Rowena!
    I’m having a really weird and confusing moment in my life and this video helped me to retrieve that spark of motivation and inspiration I used to have so easily some months ago 💙

    Normally I feel videos like these repeat the same stuff, so I usually just watch them with a blank mind, but I don't know why you cheered me up! 4am is unnecessarily too early for me, but I will try to wake up at 5. I will probably not hear the bird chirping tone, but I will give that a try as well... if I succeed, thanks in advance.

    My goal this year is to sleep early (before midnight, preferably around 9-10pm) and wake up early / stop being late to class / stop rushing those last 10 minutes and take that extra time in the morning for quiet time (journaling/reading), maybe stretches/yoga (goal is to do front splits and increase flexibility in my spine) and self-care and skincare, maybe even eat breakfast lol, since I never eat breakfast... Which means I need to wake up around 6-7am at the latest. I made habit cards from r/theXeffect and made credit card sized habit trackers (49 days, about how long studies show it took to solidify a habit) and I’ll try to post my cards in the sub after I’m done so I feel some accountability. Whenever I need to wake up early, I would take a melatonin gummy at like 1am (1.5mg or 3mg if I really needed to be out) and set that blaring alarm on my phone, and I’d wake up groggy bc the melatonin was still in my system. 😞 I really need to be less dependent on these drugs to fall asleep (I used to take benadryl or other sedating antihistamines... that shit knocked me out).

    My first watch. Love your mindset. I’ve been trying to get other people to try waking up at 5:30 with me but they’re like I’m mad. So doing it alone and failed to be consistent more then 4 days straight so your video has encouraged me again and now I’m following you in hopes you share more content like this 👍🏼✌🏻
