So, to sum up, you need to have a clear intention, your WHY to want to wake up early (meditation and specific goals for yourself can help you find it) , and then you need to give yourself a chance to actually wake up (cold shower, exercise, walking outside) because these things help you regulate your body's rhythms (cortisol, temperature, light). If you do these, it's more likely that the version of you that starts your day is not the groggy, sedated one, but your awake and alert self.
2:54 "it's because you didn't even give yourself a chance to wake up." That's an eye opener! It makes so much sense and you said it perfectly. Great video Kenny!
Are you spying on me? This is EXACTLY the video I needed. Today I woke up at 11:00AM. I constantly feel like shit because of waking up this late. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I REALLY MEAN IT!
The thing that motivates me to wake up early is the feeling of nobody else being up, so you can be yourself with no distractions, AND to reach my goal of gaining more muscle, quicker.
The intention bit really hit hard and got me to tears. I have been trying to change stuff, waking up early, working out, planning in agenda's, keeping track about things in notion, dopamine detoxing, diet, etc. But why I really do it, well because everyone says it better, to be more organized, blah blah blah, but a real intention a real purpose for doing the things that I do. Thinking about it, I don't think I really have it. So thank you so much for making me realize this. Most of the time just doing stuff is better, then planning everything, but knowing and driving your intention and end goal for your change, can really make that difference I believe.
*The snoozing part is so true.* Those initial 3-ish minutes after waking up are hell, but then one you, as you said "Give yourself a chance to wake up", you feel full of juice and ready to go. But whenever I do give myself those 2 extra hours of "sleep" I end up feeling burnt out, 0 energy, 0 motivation, which is strange, because I feel fully rested. *"Give yourself a chance to wake up"* is a phrase I really like, I'll add it to my arsenal. If put simply, 6 hours of sleep and instantly waking up is much, much better than 6 hours of sleep and then snoozing for 40-90 minutes. Idk what it does, but it just kills all the drive. Makes me feel borderline depressed. I incorporated cold showers into my routine a long time ago, like 2 years ago. And I still feel "egh" before turning the shower handle. But it has become a part of me, and if I don't do it - I feel like *I'm not myself throughout the day.* *My advice* is, if you have a set of habits you wanna incroporate into your life, don't just jump at them. Take them one by one. And do them for 14-20 days, while gradually adding other things. Kind of rebuild yourself one habit at a time. Because if you try to incroporate 7 habits at once, saying "I'll wake up a changed man tomorrow", you might go through a couple of days like that. But this wave of motivation will inevitably fade away, and you'll find yourself back at square 1. I can't really put my finger on another habit that became a part of me like taking cold showers. But I'm working on *"No activities 2 hours before bed (games, sports, intense music)"* and *"Journaling every morning and evening"* but it's not going great, I keep forgetting, since these are the foggiest parts of the day. But making a plan for the day ahead and actually having a mantra of who you are, where you're going and who you wanna be is great. And you must set your days up for reviews, asking yourself questions like "What did I do wrong today?; How can I become better?". These things may seem obvious, bacause you have them in your head as thoughts, but when you put them on paper (or notes app, tablet etc) - that's when they gain weight. *It's like your brain is parenting itself* And yeah, mostly, I went back to sleep when I didn't have a plan for the day. I knew whan I had to do, but nothing solid, just ideas. I just wanted to want to wake up early.
The answer to the title for me is “Have something you are excited to do everyday” Like creating content, or working on a passion. The rest will fall into place!

If it's not for you, that's okay but before deciding that you have to put effort in and see the results of your effort so you know that you don't like it.

Last year I was getting up at 6 every morning, it felt fantastic and the days felt so productive. Then winter hit and I wasnt able to get out as easily, I then slipped into sleeping in, 9, 10, 11 barely crawling out of bed. I've been that way for months now. That's all to say, thank you for this video, I needed it.
One thing I wanna point out is that as much as I love the video, some people ARE IN FACT more productive at night, or in other parts of the day, so it's best for them to complete their work during that window. New studies recently found that women feel more productive in the afternoon compared to men and men feel way more productive in the morning compared to women. Obviously it's an average, and I'm aware of that as a woman who wakes up early but I thought I'd mention it. :)
It’s very late where I am too, not sure if i will be able to wake up early tomorrow but I will do my best to tomorrow come up with a better reason to why I should wake up early. How are you doing?
My #1 issue is that i have nothing to work for and i just dont care, even when my soul aches when i miss a day of productivity. I cant really think of why i should put in effort. And its stopping me from not only waking up early, but literally everything else. I dont do anything because i see no reason. And i dont know how to find said reason
I don't usually comment, but my man, you need to find Purpose. Try looking into the Christian lifestyle, maybe by just trying to watch 1 vid about it. It's legit great bro, up 2 you
2020-2023 i’m more productive than i ever been in my entire life, now 2024.. i just couldnt find a reason to keep being like that.. i even question myself why did i do it back then
Not even a minute into the video and it’s so relatable. I set my phone out of the room so I have to walk to it to shut my alarm off, yet I still go to back to sleep. Then I feel like shit since I got a late start to my day and feel like I wasted it. Even when you said you would engage in destructive behavior like watching corn. I thought it was just me but it shows how relatable you are.
The video wasn't even at 1 minute and you already described my life, then you made me open my eyes, of course all of us know how to "wake up early", go to sleep early, a morning routine, we all know that sleeping with our phone makes us sleep late, but we just don't have a very strong reason to do all the stuff we said we were going to do. I hope I can change my life, thank you for this video,

One needs a purpose to wake up. Mine is having a healthy and filling breakfast before hitting the gym. Thats the motivation i need to start my day. I wale up every morning at 6 am without alarm.
right but waking up early is a good keystone habit, if u have done that, everything else follows like if u set a routine. after u wake up, do work, after work, gym, etc.
I feel like the easiest way to wake up early is to go to bed early. I am going to sleep at 8:30 and wake up at 5:30 without alarm. It is 9 hours of sleep. It is hard to sleep longer 😂 And another advantage of waking up without an alarm is that my body is already awake when I wake up. P.S. guys don’t try to go to bed 1-2 hour earlier, you probably will just lay in bad and stare at the ceiling. Take it slowly like 10-15 mins a day
Omg I thought I was the only one who felt anxious about "wasting my day" I can wake up close my alarms and the whole day I have anxiety and madness about the time I "wasted" thank you so much♡
Hey man, what a wonderful video. I woke up in the "sedated" state and was preparing to spiral off into the who cares mode but this is a brilliant reminder to get back to my priorities. Keep it up!
One of the things that has helped me for years is keeping my curtains open all night and into the morning. Having the sunrise assault my eyes helps me wake up, and when I have my curtains closed I can practically sleep all day. And if you wanna try it and are worried about privacy you can try like a sheer curtain that blocks others view but still lets a lot of light in. I have one and it works pretty well!
I find that I have a better time waking up early when I’m motivated at the time. When I’m burnt out, I tend to get stuck in the trap of just wanting to sleep some more.
I would like to see some science behind the getting more done in the morning vs getting things done in the evening. Because while I‘m for sure no expert on the matter, the little science I have read indicate that there IS a difference in people and when they are most productive. Also a lot of these „bad things“ that you listed happening during the day, which make people less productive in the evening are by no means true for everyone. I would go as far as to say that, I hope they aren’t for most. Really glad to learn though. So if there is some science that indicates what you are saying is true for everyone I would be happy to look into that.
You won't find such science to back his claim because there isn't any. People having different peak levels of hormones and at various times of the day is scientifically studies and tried multiple times. It can be within a normal variation, or even abnormal with people who have things like delayed sleep phase disorder. It is categorically untrue to say that "night owls just think they're more productive in the evening because they haven't given themselves the chance to wake up early".
Your night owl comment is painfully true and it took me decades to learn it. I always said I was a night owl but in reality I was just conditioned to it over years and years of bed at 2 or 3am. Why did I go to bed so late? Because I had less distractions so I felt I got more done. It took me several months but I reprogrammed myself to go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier with purpose and change my environment so I had less distractions and I was just as productive as those late nights plus I felt a hell of a lot better all day. I was fooling myself that I was a night owl for so long I just believed that was how I am.
This is so true, i tried to be better and more productive a year ago with poor results because i didn’t know why i was doing that i just thought, “everyone does it for their own reason so it gotta be good”. Now that i genuinely know why i’m doing all of this stuff i’m getting amazing results and i’m actually happy
This is a similar sentiment to other videos on waking up early, but we need advice on what happens when you don't find the clarity or what to do in the meantime while you don't have it..
Damn, this video hit different. It made me realise that apart from waking up early I think I’ve somehow put myself in a state of autopiloting my life away and making, as you said, surface level decisions for not only waking up early but everything I’ve done
This is so true!!! I realized I can wake up early if I know I have to go teaching or have an appointment, but otherwise even with the amount of hours of sleep, without a clear WHY, I can’t pull myself out of bed!
This is the video i needed like fr, i always had that feeling, whenever i wake up a little later than the usual time that i wake up (which is 8am ), i feel like shit. (btw you sound like Penguiz0 lol, cool voice!)
Man I dont even hear the alarms ... I only hear it sometimes and I just turn it off . I will think of a core reason to wake up early right now ! Thanks Kenny
At this point in my life i’m at a pause because I just graduated high school and i’m just in the process of joining the military and I also quit my job so I really have no purpose to be waking up early but I realized how I hate everytime I wake up late asf 12-3 I feel so shitty and weak and still tired, so my purpose right now atleast is that I just DON’T want to wake up late and feel so shitty/weak/tired/sick and so yesterday I checked when the sun rised (6:24) and I set my alarm for 6:25am, and even though I slept like at 12-1am I didn’t feel like how I usually do when I wake up late in the day, I felt fine. sleeping at 12-1am is a big improvement for me because I usually slept at 4-6am
Honestly, I thought this was going to be another one of those RUclips videos giving tips on waking up early until you talked about the third step. It's so refreshing to hear someone speak so responsibly about this. Thank you Kenny sos un capooo
I’ve felt this super strong feeling of being able to wake up once before recently for an entire week. I was able to get up and function off of 4 hours of sleep everyday. Once I get to where I want to be in terms of waking up, I’ll actually know if I achieved that same level of readiness to do stuff because I’ve literally felt it before.
I would add a fourth one: the morning starts with the night. Being ready to wake up starts with getting enough sleep. Most peope need 7-9 hours of sleep. Plan when you want to get up and go to bed x+.5 hours before that. Sleep is the most crucial aspect.
I feel like im losing time and my phone takes my time. From today ill wake up at 5 am until i finish my exams i promise and i won't break that promise my mind is stronger than my body. For my mentally health and less anxiety and clear my mind from all outside distractions and be one with my work and self
The thing that helped me be able to wake up early was, i have to be at work at 7 am... And i have 1.5h travel time... Shit hit hard as a 15 yo. Tho after 3 years, im used to it. If i was able to, you all are as well
these 3 steps arent the best way to make sure you wake up early. the easiest way to wake up early is to go to bed early. (also having a purpose helpsif you didnt get enough sleep)
Sometimes it seems complicated, but it's all a matter of stimulation and getting used to it, sometimes we're too lazy to try everything, but everything is achievable, I talked a little about this in a video of mine on the channel that's all you can do is if you want it!
Because it's kinda just of the passion that you put in. In some cases that's ofcourse not the truth, hamza is good example of only for the money (Nowadays, when he did the gym content that wasn't yet)
I'm sure that this video is helpful for some, but honestly, I think I need more help figuring out how to get to bed early than I do figuring out how to get out of bed early. I'm admittedly a night owl and not really happy with this state of affairs, but I end up spending the entirety of my day either completely wasting time or trying to satisfy a really long to do list which I either stay up late trying to complete or finish by the end of the day resulting in revenge bedtime procrastination. This in turn means I almost never feel fully rested and is a huge reason why I tend to stay in bed a little longer trying to "wake up" or "sleep in" (once I regain consciousness, it's impossible to actually "go back to sleep"). In summary, I was wondering if you could make a video on how to get to bed and fall asleep on time, whatever that ideal time looks like because, as evidenced by the fact that I just watched this at literal midnight, this is one big thing that I really need to fix. Thanks for helping me become a better man and God bless you!
great video man. i know this is irrelevant, but u remind me of those stereotypical high school chad jock bullies from the movies. u've got a deep voice that sounds like your constantly mocking someone and a dead-eyed stare that looks as if your planning some malicious shit. you've even got the middle part hairstyle. all u need is a letterman jacket or something. anyways, great advice. it really helped.
Probably worth mentioning that this will work best for men because their hormones are on a 24hr cycle, women’s hormones are on a (roughly) 28 day cycle - so at different points in your cycle you will feel differently and these tips may not work as well x
Morning cold showers are so shit to me. I tried them for a time and yes I woke up for 15 minutes but right as I got warmer I got even sleepier and more tired than before.
great video just what I needed. I had my alarm going off at 6am for the past month and have just snoozed till about 8:30 when I need to get up for work, i look forward to getting up tomorrow
So, to sum up, you need to have a clear intention, your WHY to want to wake up early (meditation and specific goals for yourself can help you find it) , and then you need to give yourself a chance to actually wake up (cold shower, exercise, walking outside) because these things help you regulate your body's rhythms (cortisol, temperature, light). If you do these, it's more likely that the version of you that starts your day is not the groggy, sedated one, but your awake and alert self.
Great summary
This summary explains why I always get up in the morning in time on irrigation days.
2:54 "it's because you didn't even give yourself a chance to wake up."
That's an eye opener! It makes so much sense and you said it perfectly.

The thing that motivates me to wake up early is the feeling of nobody else being up, so you can be yourself with no distractions, AND to reach my goal of gaining more muscle, quicker.
comparison is the thief of joy. theft effects two parties
i agree, as shitty as it might sound i like waking up early because it makes me think that someone i know is still asleep and im up doing stuff
YESSSS
The intention bit really hit hard and got me to tears. I have been trying to change stuff, waking up early, working out, planning in agenda's, keeping track about things in notion, dopamine detoxing, diet, etc. But why I really do it, well because everyone says it better, to be more organized, blah blah blah, but a real intention a real purpose for doing the things that I do. Thinking about it, I don't think I really have it.
So thank you so much for making me realize this. Most of the time just doing stuff is better, then planning everything, but knowing and driving your intention and end goal for your change, can really make that difference I believe.

Phillips sunrise clocks are actually super good. They are bright asf, but can also not jarr the fuck out of you. Helps with seasonal depression too.
I find that I have a better time waking up early when I’m motivated at the time. When I’m burnt out, I tend to get stuck in the trap of just wanting to sleep some more.

Now that i genuinely know why i’m doing all of this stuff i’m getting amazing results and i’m actually happy
the value in this content is actually high kind of likehamza videos but with more cinematic cuts so retention is higher
This is a similar sentiment to other videos on waking up early, but we need advice on what happens when you don't find the clarity or what to do in the meantime while you don't have it..
Damn, this video hit different. It made me realise that apart from waking up early I think I’ve somehow put myself in a state of autopiloting my life away and making, as you said, surface level decisions for not only waking up early but everything I’ve done
This is so true!!! I realized I can wake up early if I know I have to go teaching or have an appointment, but otherwise even with the amount of hours of sleep, without a clear WHY, I can’t pull myself out of bed!
The third secrest is so simple and also so underrated: I can't agree more
Seeing "Waking up early" as a vessel to achieve our goals and having a clear cut WHY is the most important takeaway for me.
I Needed this, thank you so much! Its an eye opener.
Omg really awesome and meaningful self-help video I have watched in a really ling time.
Literally this morning, I wanted to wake up at 5, my alarm went off at 5, and then I snoozed all the way until 6:50, this video was needed
Finally a video I found useful enough to watch till the end
i needed this i woke up at 3pm today i need a good sleeping schedual it was good but i just ruind it again
This is the video i needed like fr, i always had that feeling, whenever i wake up a little later than the usual time that i wake up (which is 8am ), i feel like shit. (btw you sound like Penguiz0 lol, cool voice!)
Short and sweet, yet extremely informative and helpful!
Great video man 👌🏼
This is probably the 100th self improvement video im watching in my life and i still havent done anything. But thank you anyway
Man I dont even hear the alarms ... I only hear it sometimes and I just turn it off . I will think of a core reason to wake up early right now ! Thanks Kenny
At this point in my life i’m at a pause because I just graduated high school and i’m just in the process of joining the military and I also quit my job so I really have no purpose to be waking up early but I realized how I hate everytime I wake up late asf 12-3 I feel so shitty and weak and still tired, so my purpose right now atleast is that I just DON’T want to wake up late and feel so shitty/weak/tired/sick and so yesterday I checked when the sun rised (6:24) and I set my alarm for 6:25am, and even though I slept like at 12-1am I didn’t feel like how I usually do when I wake up late in the day, I felt fine. sleeping at 12-1am is a big improvement for me because I usually slept at 4-6am
That's exactly what I Needed! On the track to 100k subs!!🔥🔥🔥
yo, your videos are awesome, can we get a guide on tracking time?
4:18 why thank you
Love the crucifix necklace! Also the video is great. Keep it up
Honestly, I thought this was going to be another one of those RUclips videos giving tips on waking up early until you talked about the third step. It's so refreshing to hear someone speak so responsibly about this. Thank you Kenny sos un capooo
Helpful video. Thanks!
Thank you, I really needed this video.
7:57 Andrew Tate acted like him there😂
I’ve felt this super strong feeling of being able to wake up once before recently for an entire week. I was able to get up and function off of 4 hours of sleep everyday. Once I get to where I want to be in terms of waking up, I’ll actually know if I achieved that same level of readiness to do stuff because I’ve literally felt it before.
I would add a fourth one: the morning starts with the night. Being ready to wake up starts with getting enough sleep. Most peope need 7-9 hours of sleep. Plan when you want to get up and go to bed x+.5 hours before that. Sleep is the most crucial aspect.
I like this guy.
5:25 the best part
"oh yeah i just need to lock in" that shit had me guffawing
I feel like im losing time and my phone takes my time. From today ill wake up at 5 am until i finish my exams i promise and i won't break that promise my mind is stronger than my body. For my mentally health and less anxiety and clear my mind from all outside distractions and be one with my work and self
you got this brother, all it takes is making the decision and believing it to be true
The best thought in this vid is about the foggy person vs active person. Sometimes a different perspective will make big changes
for me, my purpose for waking up at 6 is playing cod, which raises my cortisol and makes me feel more awake for the rest of the day.
Still couldn't figure out a reason to stay alive let alone wake up early. Earliest time I go to bed during weekends is 6AM.
The thing that helped me be able to wake up early was, i have to be at work at 7 am... And i have 1.5h travel time... Shit hit hard as a 15 yo. Tho after 3 years, im used to it. If i was able to, you all are as well
Hey Kenny thanks for this advice hope you’re doing well
On the weekends, I find it EXTREMELY hard to stay disciplined... Perhaps you could make a video on how to fix that? 🥺 it would change my life.
I like the dubbing you used for your b-roll. Looks nice
these 3 steps arent the best way to make sure you wake up early. the easiest way to wake up early is to go to bed early.
(also having a purpose helpsif you didnt get enough sleep)
Sometimes it seems complicated, but it's all a matter of stimulation and getting used to it, sometimes we're too lazy to try everything, but everything is achievable, I talked a little about this in a video of mine on the channel that's all you can do is if you want it!
5:02 you have to PREPARE THYSELF
Since I can remember I always woke up early. Only time I woke up late was when I was depressed and playing fortnite
@1:57 - Video starts here.
I’ve walked my dogs every morning for the past 4 years no matter what rain, sleet, or snow … honestly it’s my favorite part about my day
Working a blue collar job has been getting me up bright and early and I've never felt better!!!
Life hack for light, get a SAD lamp and hook it up to a smart plug with a time control, set it to turn on an hour before you wake up
It's not what time you wake up. It's what you do when your awake!
My problem with the cold shower after waking up is that i am going to excercise and need another shower😢
Not connected to the vid much, but why does it appear that all self improvement ytbrs think only their content is the best
clearly they're all wrong except me 🗿
Because it's kinda just of the passion that you put in. In some cases that's ofcourse not the truth, hamza is good example of only for the money (Nowadays, when he did the gym content that wasn't yet)
@@tristanholland1he is kind of heading back towards that gym hamza
I'm sure that this video is helpful for some, but honestly, I think I need more help figuring out how to get to bed early than I do figuring out how to get out of bed early. I'm admittedly a night owl and not really happy with this state of affairs, but I end up spending the entirety of my day either completely wasting time or trying to satisfy a really long to do list which I either stay up late trying to complete or finish by the end of the day resulting in revenge bedtime procrastination. This in turn means I almost never feel fully rested and is a huge reason why I tend to stay in bed a little longer trying to "wake up" or "sleep in" (once I regain consciousness, it's impossible to actually "go back to sleep"). In summary, I was wondering if you could make a video on how to get to bed and fall asleep on time, whatever that ideal time looks like because, as evidenced by the fact that I just watched this at literal midnight, this is one big thing that I really need to fix. Thanks for helping me become a better man and God bless you!
great video man. i know this is irrelevant, but u remind me of those stereotypical high school chad jock bullies from the movies. u've got a deep voice that sounds like your constantly mocking someone and a dead-eyed stare that looks as if your planning some malicious shit. you've even got the middle part hairstyle. all u need is a letterman jacket or something. anyways, great advice. it really helped.
I lack discipline. I ain’t gonna stop lacking it. I’d need discipline for that
Probably worth mentioning that this will work best for men because their hormones are on a 24hr cycle, women’s hormones are on a (roughly) 28 day cycle - so at different points in your cycle you will feel differently and these tips may not work as well x
Who else spent hours laying in bed with the phone on your hand going one YT recommended video after another ?
what words👊🏼
I'm starting from now 3 am rn lets see tomorrow
Morning cold showers are so shit to me. I tried them for a time and yes I woke up for 15 minutes but right as I got warmer I got even sleepier and more tired than before.
Great video
great video just what I needed. I had my alarm going off at 6am for the past month and have just snoozed till about 8:30 when I need to get up for work, i look forward to getting up tomorrow
