Why I Get Up At 5AM And Why You Should Too

If you asked me what the single most important thing I did to grow my YouTube channel was I would hands down say getting up at 5AM was it. By getting up so early I was able to get a head start on my day which meant I could get tons of work done before most other people even think of getting up. On top of that it left me with more open afternoons to enjoy the nice weather and sunshine of the day. The reason this is so effective is because our will power is a resource which starts to run out after working a full day. This means that by the time we reach the end of the work day we have very little or no willpower to do the things we want. This is why I get up at 5AM so I can do all the productive activities I enjoy such as making these videos and going to the gym. If you haven't tried getting up earlier I highly recommend it.

I'm watching this while going to bed at 5AM

You know you think like a programmer when you try to optimize every bit of your life

[ugslxyr]

waking up with a purpose in mind is what makes the difference.

This is great advice. Getting everything done by 9am is a life changer. It’s hard to describe how big a deal this is. It’s the best thing I ever did for myself.

I played fortnite all day, check mate bro. But seriously it's nice you dabbled more in these talking videos, would love to see more!

[GuitarsRgood]

Very inspirational! I've been testing it out

UPDATE: This really works for me! I've been sleeping at 11:00 and waking up at 6:00, giving me 1hr 30min before I need to get ready for work. I'm a lot more productive in the morning, and I feel better when getting ready and driving to work. I used to sleep at like 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning.

I am a developer myself and I am getting up at 5 for over 10 years now and it has so much benefits! No traffic when driving to the office, no traffic on the way back home. During summer you have like half the day free for outdoor activities, during winter you have at least some hours of sunlight for outdoor activities. Etc. etc.

That's absolutely true. Sometimes it's hard to make myself go to bed earlier but it really works. You really get much more productive when you wake up early and go to bed earlier

With your tutorials, we learn things and it's clearer than any other content. With your experiences, we can confirm that you're following the right path and i thank you for trying to bring us with you. Thanks Kyle, and a lot !

You're spot on w.r.t. will power. I remember reading experiments that showed that people's good will is much stronger at the beginning of the day. And that's one of the reason why dates are more successful in the evening: because when your will power is gone, so are your inhibitions, which helps bonding with others. It's similar to being drunk. So I also think that while you may have more will power in the morning, your creativity may be higher in the evening. So it's a balance.

I do wake up @5AM and it took 3 weeks to get adjusted with this routine,
But now that i have become morning person it's too good

[shahzaib]

Thank God I'm a muslim and our pray is early morning and that is says to us start your day after pray your mind will be fresh and things will be easy to understand and now you're also says the same happy to hear from you 💓

[electrotsmishar]

Really appreciate it.
My productivity got increased after I've started getting up early in the morning for the prayer as well.
One hour half effort work during that period is more productive than full effort 4 hours in the night.
Thanks for the video

[av]

I applied this and it works compared to my old routine, thanks again Kyle

[hamzafaysal]

3, 4 months back I think exactly the same and now it's become my routine and I'm happy with it...

[DeltaNrOne]

I have been doing this my entire life, falling asleep at 11-12 and wake up at 6am.

However i noticed one thing very quickly. Spend that extra time not on work but on yourself.

Like Kyle said “going to the gym”, “improve my skills”

A burnout is just around the corner.

[mnh]

waking up earlier in the morning is day to day lifestyle in my religion

[scottgonzalez]

Totally used to be a night owl. Now, I'm up at 5a every morning. Studying JS from 6:30-8:30a every day.

[eldyko]

Stop you’re giving me anxiety. I can’t keep up with your perfection.

[elishaschool]

You have found wisdom, young man. I get up at 5am, hit treadmill, sleep by 11 or 12am. I have more energy with this schedule and I get more work completed than getting up at 7am and sleep by 10. If I sleep more than 5 or 6 hours, or sleep late I am useless and then my body crashes twice in a single day at 11am and then around 3 or 4 pm. I have been doing this schedule for 19 years.
Keep it up, you will be very productive in life if you master this!!
Having control over "self will" is a masterful power!!
Btw, I found one of your other videos extremely helpful, informative, and straight to the point. Then I saw this video title on your channel and was very intrigued that someone your age would have stuck through the first month to get past the hard part of adjusting your mind and body! Congratulations!
