Waking up at 6 AM

I started waking up at 5 am 3 years ago. From Monday to Friday at 5 am, Saturday and Sunday at 6-7am. I usually need at least 7 hours of sleep, if not, I'm exhausted for the rest of the day. But so far, I managed to cope with this schedule.

This changed me. I had and have periods of time when I want to quit: Gym, diet, back to porn, etc. I still woke up at 5 am and this saved me from the rabbit hole. Whenever I felt like quitting, I remembered that I wake up at 5 am even though I'm not doing too much, and step by step, brick by brick, I'm conquering back my thoughts and taking control of my mind, because I'm doing a hard task, waking up early when my soul wants to sleep.

Also, you have a lot of time for yourself. 2 hours in the morning means a lot. No phone calls, no messages, no notifications, nothing. Just you and your will. 1-2 hours at night watching TV, social media, etc or 1-2 hours in the morning with yourself and planning your day/ goals / life.

Go to bed earlier then.

I go to bed at 9pm and I’m up at 4am so I can be at the gym by 5am. I keep my socials circle full of people like me who are up at similar times so I don’t need to worry about my social life. I also don’t plate or ltr women that are bar and club thots that want to get wasted every night. If they aren’t up early and motivated I have zero interest in them.

Monday-friday i wake up at 5:30 and am at the gym by 6am. Then go to work. I probably go to bed around 11pm.

I go out fridays and saturdays and am usually out till about 3am or so? I will sleep in saturday and sunday untill 11am sometimes. Because i want to have a social life and also enjoy sleeping. I go to the gym those days as well.

Sunday night i will usually take a sleeping pill to help me get back into the work week sleep cycle of 11pm sleep 5:30 wake up.

Thats how i balance my work and social life. No ones really doing shit monday-thursday nights, and u can still meet people for dinner if you want then. Most of my social life is weekend nights/day. Work week is work.

Im the first person in the office everday and am always prepared when my boss comes in late scrambling. It makes you have more value at work.

I am 27 btw. I really only see my plates on the weekends, and sometimes once a week.

Mon-thursday is generally just focusing on work and lifting. Weekends also lifting.

Meal prep saves you so much time. I cook for 2-3 days at a time (lunch and dinner) breakfast fresh every morning but eggs and bacon are fast.

To prep my lunch and dinner i literally just take sweet potatoes, chicken, veggies and throw them in the oven with seasoning and its done in about 1 1/2 hours, and tupperware it up. I really wouldnt even call it cooking, i spend less then 5 minutes chopping and seasoning and then the oven does all the work while i do other shit.

You really shouldnt be spending more then 2-3 days a week fucking plates, you should be focusing on your own goals.

Waking up at 6am is not an old man thing.

Iwake up at 6 am daily. If you take lifting seriously you need at least 7 hours of sleep to keep your hormones in check and maximize gains/fat loss.That means your ass should be sleeping by 11 pm. Realistically it’s not always that easy. On the weekends don’t set an alarm if your getting 7 hours a night you more then likely will wake up after 7 hours on the weekend. So if I go to bed at 4 am I’m up at 11 am. During the week make it a priority if you have plates see them between 7pm-10:30pm hit the gym before that. Also prepping meals for the week greatly increases whatever time you have. Less time cooking= more social time.

Here’s an example for a college student trying to have a good social life learning game.

6am Wake up meditate set your goals prepare ect.. 7:30am -3pm class with a quick break for lunch in between. 3pm-5pm get your work done 5pm-7pm lift eat and shower 7pm-10:30pm pimpin 10:30pm -11pm free time wind down get ready for bed 11pm sleep

Trial and error for your own nuanced situation. You'll probably have to sleep throughout some days to make up lost hours. Other than that, especially if you don't drink, you're fine and just need to adjust.

I spent the whole of last year going out 7 nights a week and coming in to my sedentary 9to5 on 3-4hours sleep; if I didn't pull. Then shop, eat, read, meditate, gym and back out again.

Just make sure you eat really healthy and spread out food intake to avoid Glutton-Fatigue.

I wake up at 530~ for work and get usually 5-8 hours of sleep. I usually get tired after working out and getting home .

Its quarter til 6 where I'm at, waiting for my dog to take a shit before I go to the gym. I try to do it every morning, I didnt make it monday morning because i had a show Saturday night and was up til 5am so my sleep pattern got a little fucked up and I didnt really feel like doing anything about it because sunday was busy. When stuff like that happens i just dont let it make me slack. I made myself go in the evening because I had time, that incentivized me to be careful about letting it happen next week. I did cardio yesterday morning and I fucking hate cardio but I love how I feel the rest of the morning and seeing a bunch of people drag ass with bags of fast food is just the icing on the cake.

It's all about habit and knowing yourself. I can get away with 6 hours of sleep but not everyone can. Until you figure out what you need make yourself get up anyway and stick to it as best you can and the sleep pattern will work itself out as long as you arent boozing a lot and eating shit.

If you eat right, don't drink and learn to not watch youtube to sleep, 6h is plenty

Daddy_ThunderCock · 2019-08-21T10:11:20+00:00

6 hours is plenty if you use modafinil.

Waking up at 6am sounds organized, mature and shit but in reality it's something that only old lonely weirdos do. They usually are the same elderly men or young edgelords who keeps advising people to delete all social media and take cold showers.

To wake up at 6am I need to sleep at 11pm, which means that I should be home before 9pm to cook, eat, clean the kitchen, shit and take a shower, and this means that by 9 pm I should have finished fucking a plate and taking her back home which means picking her up before sunset like a weirdo with no time left to do any other activity, to relax or to have a social life with friends. Fuck no.
