Waking Up At 5am For a Week.

Oh, soda water that went down the wrong pipe, well, hello again, I just understood, oh, my infinity glove is off. I can't start without this, it's from the movie and Avengers Infinity War and I'm obsessed with it. I've been having a bit. kinda very funny with this mmm ouch ok anyway zombie in this video we have a big problem that I need to discuss with you today is the fact that they haven't uploaded for almost six months after saying you're back again uh No no Is it weight gain? It's just that you look like you're 20 pounds heavier, so oh my God, no, and I'm not twenty pounds or twenty-two pounds heavier and people don't even notice because I'm six-four. it's distributed evenly, totally, that's what I was thinking, holy shit, I can't tell, no, I was just going to say that my sleep schedule is really really messed up, so I'm making a video to try to help fix that, oh Yes, I know it's a big problem that is literally destroying your life, yes, so let's talk about it.

There's something about me that I would love to talk to you about in this video, which is a big problem for me, my sleep schedule, those three words don't seem so scary, but those three words don't solve the seriousness of the problem, a lot of justice says that the most honest and complete version of what those three little words mean is actually much darker. n equals twenty-nine words and those are I am totally and radically nocturnal and I never wake up for anything and I have a zero percent sleep schedule or schedule of any kind. In fact, many of my friends and even family have asked me what you do with your days.

The answer is, you guessed it. wait, I sleep during the day and come back to life at night, so it's a radical experiment to improve myself or at least try. I thought about trying to wake up every morning at 5am. during a work

week

. Anyway, 5 days I know my limits and see in those five days how much I can achieve. I'm also very interested in seeing this thing I've heard so much about called Sol. Sorry, I didn't like that joke. more than you, but I'm serious. I haven't seen the sun or mornings of any kind and for longer than I can remember and that's not right, but I've honestly been that way since I was a kid.

It was like that in high school, but as an adult this problem has gotten particularly out of hand, a couple of

week

s ago I told myself that I would stay up and at least if I was going to get up I would do my taxes, but instead I finished. What I was doing was eating pizza and watching Avengers Infinity War, even though I've watched it 12 times 13 now, it was fun, yes of course Infinity Wars is perfect, how could it not be, it was hedonistic and super inappropriate for me to do that? Of course, and I'm okay with being a night owl.

I don't think that will ever change for me. Now I will always be a gentleman, like staying up until 2:00 or 3:00 and

waking

up in the morning. It's okay, but what's not okay is sleeping until 9:00 p.m. and go to bed at 9:00 a.m. m. that's not good, but you and I over the course of this video are breaking the cycle, so the first step to starting all of this is I watched a bunch of videos about these people

waking

up. at 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. and they were generally like beauty gurus or military guys which I have nothing in common with any of them but after watching a bunch of these videos they had some rules to live by like a code of conduct if you're going to start out to do that is not touch your phone for the first hour of being awake go outside every morning you get the sun you get oxygen there's something like melatonin or skin or something like that, I don't know, but They say it's good Will Smith, that's right.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-air and the new Jeannie had this to say and this was amazing and probably the best rule I read about this. We advise you not to set out to build. a wall you don't start there you say I'm going to place this brick you do it every day this is what you know soon you have a wall so the ideas the change happens little by little and as long as we enter it feeling that this way we can achieve it, so I'm going to follow this with two very simple rules, rule one, wake up at 5:00 a.m. m., the rule to achieve one thing a day, that's why it's so simple, why not more ambitious, because really ambitious is not in my nature and secondly because I trust the new genius so that's all two things me I wake up at 5:00 a.m.

I write down one thing a day and then at the end of the five days I will reveal if it was life changing so let's start day one right now, how can I start day one right now? You laugh calmly. I haven't slept in 23 hours straight to prepare my sleep schedule for this. Also, it is currently 5:00 and literally right now I waited 19 minutes to get this shot. I think look so no I didn't have to wake up for that and yeah I'm a sleepless mess and yeah I feel bad anyway this is the first day so let's get started wait.

Sorry, sorry to interrupt the title card, but I forgot to say this and it's very important at the end of the five days I'm flying to Japan to see the Avengers finale and I've wanted to go to Japan my whole life and I've been waiting. watching the Avengers endgame for possibly ten years and I'm so excited I could throw up on my shoes. Yeah, did it look cool? What could start? Never take it easy. Tell him it's still dark. Don't know. I don't know when the sun comes up, what I'm doing now is, well, I'll tell you what I mean by making an alarm clock because we have a very specific delivery to make today, but I'd rather tell you over a breakfast burrito, what do I prefer? talk to you over a breakfast burrito.

I'm also drinking an energy drink, so if it's not my healthiest morning, but it's a start, oh look at this, they just put this chick-fil-a on. in my neighborhood get out of here go somewhere else get out of here this is great I'm at a traffic light how do I look? everything I am I'm here I love this place this is Bob's Big Boy and it's been around for a million years open tonight open every night breakfast your mom would be proud to be open 24 hours there's still plenty of burgers it's too big to you calm down buddy calm down oh my god this is the most disturbing thing you've ever seen look at the reflection in the Starbucks window a Bob's Big Boy judging me where it comes from I'm dead I was in the car accident how can you Bob is?

I'm sure what this is oh why am I scared I get scared in the mornings oh god I want to start a religion and it's about breakfast burritos right something about breakfast burritos when I eat them I make them Netta calera spawned maybe it's in my ancestry like me you know maybe my ancestors were the first to make breakfast burritos it's my first secret family recipe for generations a hundred generations ago shut up, shut up and talk about the video: what are you doing today? This is what is happening today. we have to make an alarm clock, I know you're going to say, oh that makes any sense, just get an alarm clock for four dollars at Target, no, the process of getting up when I have to get up is nothing short of crazy. and a little embarrassing, so we have to build a special alarm clock, but let me go back to my house and show you what it takes to wake me up.

Oh, sorry, wait, I didn't realize they had the biggest meme board I've ever seen. seen in my life here at this restaurant and then that's me thinking about buying another burrito and that's my conscience saying you're supposed to be better than this don't buy another burrito and that's me doing it anyway and then because of my choices that It's me in 11 years oh I feel like I'm fine the burrito came back for a second but I swallowed it again I can't get over this there's no one in the way wait can I do whatever I want?

Okay, listen, I don't know if this is illegal and if it is, believe me it's very elaborate CGI. Don't worry, I'm not actually doing this, but if no one is awake, why can't I drive on the sidewalk like I do? in Grand Theft Auto I also buy a lot of these things. I have like 20 cans of vics, it makes me feel like an X-Men clock storm, okay, so why do I want to take this first day to build an alarm clock because I need it? I literally need to do this because what it takes to wake me up is this terrifying process.

First I have to set Minnie Minnie Minnie Minnie alarm clocks. I have an iPad and I have to set the alarm to the side and then I have to set it high. place, so I have to get up and then, you know, stop the alarm in the morning, but you don't just need that secondly. I have to do the same with my iPhone. I have to set it up and then turn it off somewhere briefly. If that's even a word, I do the same with my iPod Touch 4th 5th. I don't even know the number. I would do the same with my macbook pro.

CH is a big gun we can pull out, oh but that's not all. Of course, I have something called Shake Away, let me get it, I'm not sponsoring it, but this is amazing. I love this and have had it since I was 18. I think you just put the time into it and then it does it. exactly what it wants to do wakes you up so I have to set this up and then I have to put it under my pillow and it vibrates violently lastly and this is the strangest one. I have this very strange Japanese alarm clock that you have to set the time and then play this very loud Japanese song and then you have to stand on the mat for three seconds for it to ring so you have to physically get up for it to stop playing this sound and I know.

This all sounds like a good joke and I really wish it were. This is a real thing that sucks, but I have to do it every time I need to wake up the thing about this thing that sucks and this is just obvious, what a nightmare here. recreating the hellscape of a sound I wake up to when I do this is not cool, it's not cool at all, and psychologically it's a terrible way to start the day, so that has to stop us from moving forward with what we're doing today. I'm going to make some sort of custom alarm clock that, first, is loud enough to wake me up and, second, gets me out to turn it off.

I'm going to use computer speakers, put the computer speakers on my broom and by the way, I'm going to have to glue the volume button closed so I can't access it or turn it down and then there will be like an auxiliary cable that will come to this fourth generation iPod touch and this will be a bit of a shed. back there, hey, yeah, so I'll have these, you know, alarm clock set for 5:00 a.m. m. every day, bro, and I think it's going to work and, funnily enough, I thought about this for a couple of months and I wanted to do it. this, so I went out and bought a bunch of stuff maybe like a month ago, so I have a little recording of me getting these supplies.

I don't even know what I'm looking for. Well, actually I've been thinking a little about A CD player for my kitchen wouldn't hurt if you gave it a chance. Spell what it is, oh, there we are good. I found some speakers. I think this is wine, so here I have seven six-foot cables that should obviously give me six times. seven is about 47 47 32 140 something that should have enough. I need to get out of this store in this octopus invasion electronics store. I found these add-on speakers, a 50-foot cable, and then we have to figure out what sound I'm going to wake up to and I think I have an idea, but let's build this horn beard sentence.

Turns out this process was very boring to watch, so I'm doing this. I should have known that watching me make an alarm clock would be bad content and besides I don't know. I know how to make music, so it sounds bad, but I think it's better than making you watch me play some chords. Anyway, this really sucks, so if you don't mind, I'll skip to the part where I say it worked. which is the next part, so now I have to find the sound, but first I'll wake up. I need super glue because I wasn't kidding about gluing the volume button.

I think that's quite an advertisement on my part, okay, so here it is. my thought process that I brought, that's why I put a touch inside exactly charged with one thing because in my head I thought, well, it would be a cool thing to wake up to what I would like to be pleasant and get me excited to face the day and I mentioned earlier in this video I'm flying to Japan to see the Avengers endgame, so I thought psychologically the best thing to wake me up and get me excited would be the voice, well we need search bells or whatever comes with the iPhone.

Hello. I prefer to take Thanos' voice and read it, run away from it. Fate arrives anyway. I hope the dark wakes me up, but it will thrill me. That was, of course, a visual representation of downloading it because that. It would be very boring for you to watch me convert an audio file to mp3, okay wait, what am I doing right? I did it the first day. I did a great job which is exciting for me. I'm going to stop filming right now. the sun hasn't come up because that was my first day so I guess at this point I already know the rest of my day and then I'll set the alarm and everything and figure it all out so I'll go to bed tonight at some point and move onI have to do it, oh my God, I think I've made a big mistake.

I need to pack my bags for Japan. That's what I have to do now. I'm going to take a shower. I'm going to take a shower because I need to shower right now and get ready for Japan so quickly. I'm leaving until, my God, I finish my cow, that's my knife. I did it when I was a boy scout. It's great, the quality of the craftsmanship. That's impressive for a fourteen-year-old. I need a shower, buddy, you got it. I have to be out of my place right now in 17 minutes so I can get on a plane.

It's so funny. I'm trying to do things better by getting up earlier and didn't think to prioritize this. I don't know anything, I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to be better. Oh God, leave dad alone, I'm sorry, I need him back. That backpack is fine. I should have listened to the answer when he usually warns me about things and then I imagine I'm eccentric like this yeah, that's my oh, this is what I'll do, my God, that's my return trip, put those things on the ground, oh, But I have my passport and a hundred dollars that I stole from Ben, okay, I'll take these headphones, oh, I'll take this blank CD from James, uh, oh, I can use that as a towel, I know what I'll do.

I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to get my shoes, I'm just going to grab a pair of pants, this is the only pair of pants I wear because I'm conscious of my legs, I'm working on it. Oh. a ping pong ball I don't need that I don't need that there's no more old demand Oh sparkling water that went down the wrong pipe oh my God oh my God I'm so late oh my God I'm going to miss my plane tour because I'm an idiot Wow Wow okay I'll never have to because you won't move I made it I made it to Japan I Mak I'm in Japan I've actually been here for two weeks maybe you can tell by my beer okay I'll go somewhere quieter to finish this video and tell you what I learned when I woke up at 5:00 a.m. m.

I honestly have no idea where I'll find a quiet place to talk to you, okay, good news, I found it. a very dirty alley that is quiet enough to finish this video and they kicked me out quickly. Their place is called robot restaurant. They have strict security. Well, I have another slightly larger alley behind a robot restaurant. Well, then what did I learn? Know? What security caught me again? I'm going back to my Airbnb. Oh hi, it's very nice of you to join me in this current nightmare I'm in and no, there's nothing wrong with your screen, don't worry, it's pitch black for you.

For some reason, the power is completely off in this place and the only thing I'm thinking about right now is fucking Japanese ghost movies and how there are probably ghosts behind me. I know what you're thinking, big shot, you're going oh, we'll just turn your phone light on so you can navigate and be less afraid or film you, but my phone is at 4% and all my electronics are dead, including this phone, in about a minute and I don't know how to charge them because there is no power. I'm so scared, I'm sorry, I didn't intend for this video to become a horror movie, all I want to do is talk to you about what I learned.

Anyway, this isn't going to work here for talking. but you know, I'm taking a plane soon to Los Angeles anyway, so we'll see how you'll talk in the bathroom on the plane. I'm sure it'll work and if the airplane bathroom doesn't work then just talking to you in LA we'll check out my sad little garden it'll be a moment oh my gosh I think I think a Japanese ghost that just tried touched me on the shoulder, okay, you know, I'm just going to wait until I'm home because this is the worksheet. Okay, sorry, I'm finally back in my own place.

Sorry, the video got a little bit. We are near the end. I'm supposed to tell you what I learned about myself when I woke up for a week at 5:00 a.m. and I'll get to that but in the meantime I'd like to ask Benjamin what happened here yeah it sure doesn't look good it's nothing it's just that your sword maybe in your hair Oh in your hand You have a pretty generous amount of human hair in your hand. You see whose good it is. If something happens in the bedroom. Wow, it really looks like your footprints are coming out of the bedroom in blood.

It's not good at all. Great, so you don't care. if I take a look in the bedroom no no Benjamin you killed someone in the bedroom yeah okay that wasn't that hard just clean it up okay I'm going to finish this video I'm here okay that was quick oh , I am I'm exhausted, I'm sorry, my origins are not like Keith, like it's not the beginning of the video, it's time for you to go to bed, no, really, although I feel dead in every part of my body in this moment because jet lag is real, oh you. ban was amazing the next video I will post will be about Japan.

He's doing something I've always wanted to do, which is stay at the capsule hotel in Japan, but for now I'm going to think about what I've finally been trying. say getting up early is weird it's not for me i love late nights this is gross i shouldn't touch my eye when i'm filming um i'm definitely a night owl by nature so yeah i don't think very early mornings are for me and i never will be , but what it should be for me is waking up in the morning, that is something that I have been doing and with which I feel very, very good, waking up in the morning, as I said at the beginning. from this video in the morning now I know this video has been long and I was away for a long time, which brings me to what I'm going to say next is that usually at the end of my videos I ask you a question, answer in the comments below, but the funny thing about this one is that my last question was like six months ago, which is super embarrassing and horrible, and my last video is about getting my ears pierced, which was a long time ago and I asked about ear modifications. beauty, tattoos and stuff and you guys had wonderful responses and I responded to a lot of them and read a lot of them.

However, what I'm referring to here is when I got into those comments, 95% of them were just comments about likes or my upload or my lack of upload, um and overall they were very, very sweet and good natured. nature. I'll admit, without getting into the Nitty Gritty, it's been a strange year for me and I've definitely been off my game on social media on my own YouTube channel, which is terrible because I love doing this. I apologize for that. I'm also not going to sit here and reload once a week, no, but you know I will. I will definitely go.

I tried harder because things are leveling out and stuff in life and I'm excited about it, so instead of answering your questions, I just wanted to say thank you for your patience and I hope you had fun with this. video that I certainly made and I have many oh. I've been coming up with a lot of crazy video ideas over the last six months so I'm excited to see some of them for now, although I will ask you a question and I hope you'll answer in the comments below so that at the end of my next video we can discuss appropriately the questions I would like to ask you: are you nocturnal?

Aren't you nocturnal? What is your favorite activity to do at night? a morning person tells me about your guys' schedule here because sometimes I start to feel a little crazy and I'm the only one awake at night. This may not be the most fascinating question I've ever asked, but I legitimately want to know that other people can handle this, so I guess my question is: If you're nocturnal, what do you like about being awake at night? And if you are a morning person, what do you like so much about mornings? That's my question and if you're just normal and not a very early person or a night person, just tell me your favorite Marvel movie, wait, don't even get me started on the endgame.

Mmm, okay, sorry, I won't. Quiet and I'm going to bed too, well, I'm going to cut this. I love you so much, thank you again for your patience. I will see you soon in the meantime I adore you. Goodbye, be good, don't do it. I don't break any rules and I don't know what I'm doing with my hands.
