Living Like An Early Bird For 7 Days

I think it's safe to say at this point, this challenge has forever changed my life. ���

But is that a good thing? No, I'm freaking beat, my boy

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, today is the start of a video I have honestly been dreading to film

I'm going to be living like an early bird for the next seven days of my life

Now, you might be saying, stop being a little baby, this challenge isn't even that hard

I wake up early every single day. Well, all I can say is, you're a better man than me, let me tell you

Ever since I was a child, I've always been a night owl. I stay up working until sometimes 3 in the morning and sleep in accordingly and it's been working great for me

So, why even try this? Well, studies have found that the peak of your sleeping time should be around 2 to 4 AM

And when the peak of your sleep hits at, let's say, 6 or 7 AM, that sleep you're getting in turn is going to be less restorative as a whole

So, simply put, you are not sleeping as well. And that leads us to today, where I'm either going to be a change man that feels super energized and happy or not

Good morning, sunshine. Freak, you can't even see me. Oh, gosh dang it

So, it's day number one. I'm already regretting the freak out of this challenge, bro

It's like one of those things, like the night before when you get that spell of motivation

you're like, I'm going to wake up early, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this. And then your alarm goes off and you just do not do any of the stuff you talked about

That's how I'm feeling right now. Really, the only reason I'm awake right now is because I'm doing this video

I got some things I got to do today in order to get my body on this time track

Oh, and I have to go work out. Holy... In order for me to complete this challenge, I'm about to get my circadian rhythm, is what it's called, in check

Basically, your circadian rhythm is just the thing that tells you when to wake up or start being energized for the day

and when to get tired or go to sleep at night. It basically is your internal clock regulating everything you do and everything that gets released in your body

Long story short, a few ways that I'm going to be trying to get my circadian rhythm in check with this new system that I'm going to be running

this early bird system. The most important thing is getting bright sunlight at the very beginning of the day

So right now, when you first wake up, immediately once you wake up, you want to do that

No matter if you're on your normal time zone, whatever it is, get bright sunlight in your eyes immediately upon waking up

So that's what I'm doing right now. It is cold as a mofo. You can see in the freaking reflection on me, dog

There is so much snow out here. But this is what's got to be done. I've been out here for like five or so minutes, but I got to work out

Hey, it is a beautiful day, though. I will say. Look at nature

Smells great. Nice blue skies. Can't complain. Holy freak

I'm done. I literally was this close to throwing up. I don't know what it is

We made it through regardless. I'm so glad I'm done with that. It is kind of nice getting it done already

But I kind of enjoy, like look forward to my workout every single day

So that's kind of why I like doing it at night. Because it's like, oh yeah, I get a workout later. You know what I'm saying

Here, it's just like dreadful the entire time. But it's done. I have to go get into all of my hard stuff just now

Like I don't get any time to wake up. I think that's going to be the hardest part

Because I like to ease into things a little bit and work till late hours of the night. But not today

Let's go work, baby. Going to get some work done. So far, for the work I've done, it's so hard to focus, dog

It's so hard to focus. I literally just want to fall asleep. But I'm going to push through it

I'm going to just block out my work periods. Very, very effective. It's just blocking out your work periods

It's a lot easier to focus on a task for 20 minutes rather than sitting down and trying to complete all of it at the same time

Makes your brain be like, oh, okay, yeah, this is all right. You know what I'm saying? I don't like, I don't know, but like what am I going to do tonight

You know what I'm saying? This is normally what I do at night. So I don't know. It's going to be interesting, but yeah

A few working periods are complete. I got a good chunk of the work for the day done. It's literally only 3 o'clock

Normally, I'm done working at midnight. So I don't know what the frick I'm going to do for the rest of the day

I just feel so tired. It's like I can't even do anything. So let's get into the late wee hours of the night

It's not really that late, but late for me in this new time zone

Why do I keep saying time zone? I don't know what the frick to call it. Normally, this would be like 9 o'clock at night for me, but now it's like 5 o'clock

My focus is not improving whatsoever. So overall, I'm not enjoying it too much

Still too early on to tell because my body's not adapted to it. And seven days, honestly, probably is not enough time for me to get the full benefits of switching

But at the end of the day, why not just do what your body naturally enjoys doing more

Because you're going to get the same number of hours in the day regardless. Working better overall, and I still feel good

I don't really see a problem. You know what I'm saying? So that's kind of how I'm feeling right now

I'm not going to judge it too much yet, though. I'm going to continue this out, see how we do

And we did not do good just yet. Day 2, not much easier whatsoever

This freaking sucks balls. This is horrible, bro. I got to bed at a pretty decent time, and I got a kind of decent amount of sleep

It's just so hard to fall asleep early for me, bro. Because that's normally the time where I'm putting in all my work

That's when I'm always working out. That's when I'm doing work. So it's like my mind just does not want to fall asleep

But we're here. We're here, baby. That's all that matters. I'm just going to do the same things as yesterday and see if tonight doesn't get any better

I'll give $10 to anyone who can guess what I'm doing right now. I bet you got no idea

Whoa, sun exposure? How the freak did you know that? It's not like I've ever talked about that before ever on my channel

That's crazy. Like if you got that. Come on. Like and subscribe

Another day. It is 30 a.m. My days feel so much longer like this though, I will say

Like yesterday felt so long, bro. It's not like I got more time

It's the exact same amount of time. It's just when it is. Maybe it's because this is lighter for longer at the time

Because normally I'm sleeping through some of the lightness. I'm not feeling great still. I'm tired

I want to sleep. I would love to sleep. Yep, another sun exposure day

Who would have thought? Instant frozen nip every time I come out here. But it really does help a lot, bro

You don't realize how much your body needs sun even during the winter time. And you still do soak up the rays even though it's freezing

So it's helpful. It's freezing. But you got to see it through, bro. We got to look out for our bodies first things first

All right. Day number four. I don't know why but I'm feeling pretty good today

I might look tired. And I am a little bit tired. Overall, I'm feeling I'd say better in comparison to the last days

Which is awesome, bro. That's great. That's just amazing news. Maybe I'm becoming early bird

I'm just going to keep doing my same things. Hope I got another great day ahead of me

Another day above ground is a great day. Remember that. All right

Another day. Got my sun exposure done. I got some sun in my eyeballs

My circadian rhythm is kicking in a little bit. But still, I'm just not feeling this good

Doing my morning workouts. I feel like I'm not working out as hard or anything

But you know what? It's life. It's just life at the end of the day

Another day, another dollar. I don't even know what day it is at this point

6? 5? 6? Something like that. I'm freaking beat, my boy. I didn't go to sleep as early last night

Because I was just doing stuff that I had to get done that I couldn't get done

Which is why I normally sleep in late. Because I'm a slow mover in the mornings

I'm like a little slug. A little snail boy. So, yeah. I was up a little bit later

Didn't get as much sleep. But here we are back up at it again at 6.30 in the morning

But... It's going. Last morning. Thank goodness. I can't wait to be done with this challenge, dog

This still freaking sucks balls. Almost freaking there. We're finally wrapping up this challenge

I will say, prior to everything else I've said in this video probably. I've been a little complainer

But I am starting to get into a better routine. Oh, crazy, crazy

Do I like this new routine? Not really. But it is working. My circadian rhythm is changing

And I'm getting more used to falling asleep earlier. So, it's crazy

It's actually working. Alright, ladies and gentlemen. Here we are. 7 days of living like an early bird complete

Leaving off in the exact same spot that we started in. What are the chances of that

Probably pretty high because I get to choose where I sit anyways. Let's not worry about that

Let's get into the data. For the first few days I got less sleep overall. Which I kind of expected just because I'm used to falling asleep late

And sleeping in late. So, my body just thinks that it's normal for that. But then after I started doing stuff to correct my circadian rhythm

And my body started being like, we got to start falling asleep a little bit earlier so we get enough sleep

I actually did start falling asleep earlier overall. Getting tired earlier and falling asleep earlier

And actually felt pretty good the last few days. I'm not going to lie

But, am I going to continue doing this? Probably not. But, hey, who knows at the end of the day

Time will tell. If you're not sick of me yet, I recommend watching this video right here. Where I live a scientifically perfect life for 7 days
