okay here's the situation I don't know about you guys but I feel like I keep
hearing and reading everywhere that successful people wake up early in the
morning average millionaire wakes up so it started off four o'clock in the
morning rich people wake up early the power of waking up early the most
successful people in the world all share the same interests it started in the
rituals early in the morning but this presents a bit of a problem for me
because see I want to be successful but I am NOT a morning person like at all
ask my parents yet Here I am trying to force myself to become a
morning person because I do want to be successful and I honestly just want to
see what all the hype is about now there's no denying that many successful
people have attributed much of their success to their early morning rituals
early risers claim to feel more at peace knowing that the rest of the world
around them isn't even awake or functioning yet so people feel this
sense of accomplishment they feel like they're way more productive because
they're getting things done before everyone else
so most of all I hear people say that by waking up early they are just starting
their day off on the right foot and it leads to a more productive successful
happy day in general and to be honest all of this makes a lot of sense I get
it so here I am I am going to attempt to wake up at 5:00 a.m. every day for a
week 5:00 a.m. is not in my vocabulary of wake up times it just absolutely not
my body's like no no so I'm gonna challenge myself because not only do I
want to be successful I would love to become an early riser if I can but also
I just want to see what all the hype is about good waking up early really be one
of the keys and secrets to success well buckle up because I guess we're about to
find out now I do have to make a quick disclaimer I actually attempted to film
this video months ago it was a complete fail really hoping it goes better for me
this time so without further ado here is me attempting to wake up at 5 a.m. for a
week straight
it is officially the night before day one waking up at five am per week I
can't believe I'm doing this it is 11:48 p.m. so it's obviously way later than I
anticipated going to bed really just starting on the right foot here wish me
luck we're gonna see how I can do hey guys
good morning it is day one so okay as you can probably tell it's not 5:00
in the morning the Sun is out to be fair I did wake up at 5:00 I went to the
bathroom and I realized that I was stupid and really really did just not go
to bed early enough and I would have actually died if I only had gone in five
hours oh I'll let this one slide and no more I went back and forth like 10 times
on whether to just scratch this morning and start tomorrow morning because I
failed and then I said you know what no because this video is about the journey
it's about how it's tough sometimes it's about how you know it may not go
according to plan and it's also about building that
discipline I chose to mess up like that I went to bed too late all I can do is
correct habit and be better it's currently 11 o'clock wanted to be known
that at 10:00 p.m. I was ready to go to bed and one of my friends who's out of
town Monica Church she was like over next door at my friend's house and I
started talking to her and I kept saying shoot I need to go to bed but like loved
talking to her just goes to show it's really hard to be disciplined I knew I
needed to go to bed I decided be a psychopath an absolute psychopath and go
to a 5:00 a.m. base camp workout class tomorrow hey I need to make up for lost
time from today because I failed secondly because the instructor who
teaches the class has wanted me to go to a 5:00 a.m. cos forever and I keep
telling him like bro I do not wake up that early like there's no way and I
want to surprise him and actually go and like get his reaction to me going I'm
not gonna mess up tomorrow and I have five more days to see how I do okay
it's 11 o'clock setting my alarm for 4:30 wish me luck I'll see you guys
tomorrow
for 24 I'm actually getting this I woke up in the middle of the night at 2:00
and I genuinely thought it was gonna be like 6 o'clock I was like shoot I missed
it yeah okay we were doing this huh all right fact I'm doing this right now is
insane it's literally 436 but I already feel
like kind of awake which is weird but I don't look it at all I'm gonna put on a
fuzzy sweater and get the heck out of here all right it's for 53 and I'm
showing up for my workout cause this is insanity
I really instructors like giving me crap about never coming to 5:00 a.m. so here
I am welcome how do you feel about me
actually coming at 5:00 a.m. my name is garlic uh coming see you goes to five am
passing didn't have a thank you for the shoutout
it felt honestly bomb people I'm more awake now than I was in like 7:00 a.m.
so we're gonna see how I feel like like 2 5 a.m. everyday in class and it's
still dark out isn't it ok so update I'm home I showered I got gas shaved my
whole body put on self-tanner did the whole nine yards and it's literally only
704 didn't get moving ahead so far like I know I'm getting ahead of myself to
this only day technically one of actually waking up at 5:00 and right now
I feel great I feel like I'm up before everyone else I feel like I'm gonna be
way more productive because I'm already getting a bunch of stuff done I already
did my workout and showered and all of that and it's only 7 a.m. I also felt
like way more awake in this 5 am class and I ever have in a 7 or 8 a.m. class
which makes me wonder if my sleep schedule it's just or my sleep cycle is
like it was like easier to wake up for this I don't know if that's like a
permanent thing or if it means I'm gonna crash really hard later not sure we'll
find out if I could go to bed earlier I feel like I would really like waking up
this early I actually think I would like it of course there are gonna be some
days that I won't like it I'm also just like proud that I woke up this early so
that's giving you just a more positive outlook on the whole day when you wake
up and you're already like yes I did something I accomplished something I
woke up early you just heard in a better mindset I feel like versus if I ever
sleep longer than I want I wake up and I'm immediately like oh my god like I'm
so stupid why did I sleep so late and then it just really sets your day off
kind of on the wrong foot update it is now 10 o'clock a.m. I am baffled at the
fact that I've been awake for like 5 and a half hours that's crazy
so far I'm still feeling pretty good I had like a moment of feeling a little
bit sleepy when I was downstairs working on my computer I think I was just
staring at the same document for way too long
so I switched what I was doing it now I feel okay again this is interesting but
so far so good all right update it is the same night so
it is day two I was very awake all day I was working and I was so busy cuz I had
this long to do it and I remember just thinking like wow I
like still feel fine so I get to the hair salon and I sit down in the chair
and she's doing my hair and because I'm like not doing anything and for the
first time I'm sitting and I'm just staring up ahead I literally fell asleep
sitting up so hard that I did that like jerky thing and I freaked everyone out
we're all laughing she was like good thing I wasn't cutting your hair with
scissors I would have like punched you in the eye with the scissors overall
though today was incredible I got so much done I felt really good the whole
time because I didn't actually end up working longer than a normal day since I
had that hair appointment but because I was getting everything done early and I
felt ahead it was this whole weird mentality where I just like felt more
productive I loved it I loved my workout class I was more awake so I'm gonna see
if I can do the same thing tomorrow I'm stupid and again it's 11 p.m. I told
myself I'd go in about a 10 but I will see you guys in the morning I'll let you
know how I feels alright I'm up and out up and I'm about to enter my workout
class it's 4:40 again I feel very awake it is very strange so I'm gonna go work
out and alright the second day of my private workout that is successfully
complete I am not kidding I loved it I have way more energy and I don't
understand why but so far so good we're gonna see if I crash name I'm very happy
I really know what else to like be filming for this video I hope this is
entertaining it's probably not but some part of food
hello and welcome to night 3 this only night three I can't keep track anymore
excuse the zit cream and keep sitting down for these clips after I get ready
for bed this is me so today started off very very well I did the five man
workout class and it felt amazing again I was like super energetic during the
day I will say I was a little bit slower with my work I just had one of those
days something that happened made me kind of sad and like I'm a generally
very happy person like very happy you don't have a whole lot of issues don't
let things really like get me down but today was one of those days where I was
just really distracted from work I don't actually think I had anything to do with
waking up early I think it was just a random one of those days like I said on
Tuesday what I noticed was that as long as I kept going and I kept working and
like doing different things and moving around I didn't get super sleepy right
now it is 1056 so once again I can't seem to go to bed before 11 o'clock
which is not amazing but tomorrow instead of doing the 5 a.m. workout
class I'm doing the 6 a.m. workout so I'm still gonna wake up at 5 but I don't
have to leave my house to like 5:30 and so this makes me really want to wake up
at 5 a.m. at least like twice or three times a week maybe not every morning
because sometimes I just go to bed too
late guarding small is probably the most
smart option for me so anyway I am going to go to bed and I'll see you guys
tomorrow bye
it's 531 so I did sleep a little bit in oops already for my workout class oops
oh well alright I'm back from my workout class and I showered I you look really
good right now I can't tell if I was a little less energetic in class today
because it's 6 a.m. or because the class was actually really hard I think it
would probably just cuz the class was hard but I still did have any easier
time waking up for the 5 a.m. then the 6 a.m. I did go to bed a little bit later
last night because I woke up and had a really scary dream it's fine so far I
feel good and we're just gonna see how the day continues to go I got my workout
outfit already picked out because y'all know I can't think in the morning that's
not a thing that can happen I can't even think it 8 a.m. so we're gonna outfit
picked out right next to the socks I'm gonna wear and the shoes
okay it is day I don't even know what day it is five I have no idea
once again it's 11:45 p.m. I'm not doing very well at this whole going to bed
early situation that's just okay I was contemplating whether to do the five AM
or the six a.m. base camp class and I decided to be a
psychopath you the five man I was going back and forth between the two which is
why I allowed myself to stay up past ten men I chose to do the five am basically
this is unhealthy I'm gonna get four and a half hours of sleep which I mean I
powered through last week but like it's honestly just an LD I'm going to need to
nap because I'm filming all day and then I'm supposed to have a kickball game but
instead I have this launch event for a mental health talk show that I develop
so I'm not gonna like be back in my house till probably 10:30 p.m. I will
catch you guys in the morning can I
good morning it's 4:35 I'm tired I'm really glad I picked out my outfit
last night because it's 4:40 so like I can go you know I look very asleep
Kathleen was your over sleep last night because I feel like I really enjoy this
5an lifestyle but I just should have gotten more sleep like I only got four
hours of sleep that's not known enough all right let's do it
ere we somehow are again unsure how this keeps working out but we're doing it
Louise you better remember the space he's gonna be all over the entertainment
the best choreographer of all time right here he's gonna be famous better get to
know him now Louise Cervantes yeah he said I debated
going to 6:00 a.m. but I had to go with him okay just worked out and it was
fantastic I'm very awake considering my four hours
of sleep so that's good I'm actually stopping at the store right now to get
tampons being real with you let's go
good evening guys it is day five evening it is midnight 41 I have been awake
since 4:40 so I have been away for literally 20 hours straight and it's so
weird I feel fine I'm so confused I got tired once today and it was right after
dinner I'd eaten a bunch and I was just like feeling full feeling good I just
can't believe how much a I just love wake him if i manic like I'm okay with
having some days where I wake up at 6 or 7 that's still really early I'm not
gonna sleep in like I used to till like nine and you know there will always be
the occasional day and I work from home so it's okay but like yeah I'm feeling
pretty good alright you guys so here we are I I mean I feel like I addressed
most of how I felt during the week to be honest I accidentally loved waking up at
5:00 a.m. I noticed that I had a way easier time getting up when I knew that
I was gonna do an early morning workout so if I was doing a 5 a.m. class or a 6
a.m. class it was a lot easier to get out of bed because I knew that I had to
be somewhere and then by the time I was done working out I already had all this
energy it wasn't even light outside yet and I
was just ready to start my day and really be productive and be the best
version of myself I called this habit matching so I was associating waking up
early with feeling terrible negative tired like hating it right so then I
took something that's good a good habit of mine that makes me happy and feel
positive and productive which is working out at base camp and I combined the two
so I figured ok if I start doing something that I love at the time in the
morning that I hate maybe I can actually create this habit and stick to it and
enjoy it and lo and behold in just one week that absolutely happened now I will
say I really don't think I could do this every day I mean I could if I wanted to
but the biggest issue for me is I just don't go to bed on time I just don't go
to bed early enough I think to get a full good night's sleep and it is true
that it's really hard for me to function at my 100% capacity the next day if I
get anything less than like 7 hours of sleep I really should be getting 8 but
usually I get between like 6 & 7 because of that like unless I drew a Stickley
changed my lifestyle and was able to go to bed at like 9 or 10 every single
night which right now is just not possible I don't see myself waking up at
5 a.m. every single day what I do see myself
doing is picking two or three days a week and going to the five am Basecamp
class because I get that that actually means I have to wake up by like 4:20 or
4:30 which is ridiculous ridiculous psychopathic absolutely psychopathic but
once I started doing it I was like wait I actually loved this I love how I feel
I'm more energetic in the workout class no idea why and I just love how I feel
the rest of the day and I get so much more stuff done so overall I would
consider this experiment a success of course I'm not gonna wake up to my alarm
at 5:00 every single day like right away I obviously had some failures and I had
some days but I woke up too late but overall I mean the whole point of the
challenge was to really just force myself outside of my comfort zone and
force myself to be disciplined and I think that I really learned a lot about
myself this week I also learned that you really can't knock something until you
try it here I was really thinking that I am NOT a morning person it's tough for
me to even get out of bed at 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. and here I was getting out of
bed at 4:15 to go to a 5:00 a.m. workout class that is so unlike me so just show
me that like if you challenge yourself and you do something that is sometimes
outside of your comfort zone or something that you don't think you're
gonna like you might really surprise yourself so anyway thank you for coming
along on this journey if you guys want me to try out something else leave a
comment down below and let me know what that is subscribe if you haven't already
