"Fuck..."
This was me last year, off 4 hours of sleep each night, stunting my growth physically
and mentally.
I would be online until 3AM in the morning and have to wake up at 7AM and still be late
for school after barely eating.
Then I would wake through school like a zombie, try not to fall asleep during class, and end
up not doing any work in any of my classes.
Now, however, I cherish my mornings.
It decreases my stress, allows me to finish important work first, rather than just going
to school, along with many other great benefits.
First we'll start off with a list of benefits to waking up early as well as the negatives
of staying up late.
Then, I'll give you specific steps so that you can wake up earlier and live better.
Before we do that, be sure to smash that like button like you used to smash that snooze
button.
Alright, to start off: Those who wake up earlier are:
- Better Planners - Healthier as they have much more time and
energy to workout - Get Better Grades (3.5 for "morning people"
and 2.5 for "night-owls") - More Productive
On the flip side, staying up late and not getting enough sleep lead to serious issues,
including: - Stunting IQ and Growth
- Bad Eating Habits (your willpower is gone) - Weak Immune System
- Increased Likelihood of Mental Disorders
This in itself should make you want to reap the rewards of a better life, while simultaneously
getting away from the horrible negative effects of not resting well.
To get yourself to sleep earlier, this won't be a tip video where I tell you to drink some
tea that makes you sleep and you just pass out.
Much of this comes from proper planning and just staying consistent with it (which is
something barely any people do nowadays).
There are 4 Key Steps.
1.
Get Enough Sleep
This is self-explanatory.
If you were like me, staying up and sleeping 4 hours a night, killing myself, then go to
bed earlier.
This isn't too difficult as long as you plan to sleep at 11PM instead of 3AM because you
should be so tired that you could fall asleep right away.
Waking up early makes us productive, but if you're sleeping for 4 hours, it's completely
worthless.
Make it a habit to sleep 7-8 hours a night and then move onto step two.
2.
Sleep Earlier
See how none of this takes any of those random tips from other sleep videos, rather these
are simple steps to get you to achieve your goal.
Now that you are sleeping 7+ hours, set your alarm clock back 15 minutes a day and sleep
15 minutes a day earlier.
Thanks to iOS 10, you can use the BedTime App to remind you to head to bed.
For Android users, use a different app or just track it like I do using a daily planner
to get everything done with time to sleep at 8:30PM.
3.
Have a Plan for the Morning
If I wake up at 4:30AM with no plan, why the hell would I not go back to sleep until 6:30
to catch the bus?
Run your side business, read a book, script a video, or exercise in the morning.
That way you have less to do during the day and are actually more awake for other activities
such as work or school.
That's literally all there is to it.
Waking up early should not be hard.
3 Simple Steps to get higher grades, avoid mental disorders, and become more efficient.
I have 2 Tips despite not liking tip videos all too much unless they have action steps.
#1 is very common: Place Your Alarm Clock Far Away
I have an older alarm that blasts the most annoying radio station in the area and the
only way to get rid of it is to jump out of bed, turn on the lights, and shut that thing
off.
By the time my lights are on, I just don't feel like going back, and have to get up.
#2 is something you can install on your computer right now: Flux
While many say to not go on the internet 3 hours beforehand, this is simply not practical,
especially if you run a business, have friends texting you, or are just curious about something.
Using this tool will help wonders as it removes the blue light that makes you think it is
morning and keeps you awake at night.
It's completely free and I'll have a link to them in the description below (use a bit.ly
to track).
To recap, waking up early will help you live longer, live better, and avoid the many negatives
of losing sleep.
The first step is to sleep enough, then to sleep earlier, and then to have a plan in
the morning.
That's all there is to it.
Build this habit and kill the bad habit of sleep deprivation.
