      Matt D'Avella 30 days of no internet! Given the nature of things, you’d need some special accommodations/help to make it work (maybe do it later in the year after you’ve had time to make some extra videos and get someone to upload them on your behalf or something). It’s amazing how much living like it’s the 1960s (ish) can give you a lot of perspective on our lives we have today. Both in the things we take for granted and things we think we “can’t live without”.
      Alternately: some kind of zero waste/no plastic challenge

      It's just one persons experience.
      Each and every person should try and find their best sleep schedule, and for Matt that happened to be waking up at 6-7 AM after 8 hours of sleep.
      Personally, if I sleep 8 hours and wake up at 7AM I just can't function. Why? I have no idea.
      I have to wake up around 2-3 AM after 6-7 hours of sleep to feel alive.
      For other people who sleep the way you "should", I highly highly recommend trying different sleep schedules.

    People obviously don't get this. Matt clearly says that he is working from home as a freelancer and therefore has no reason to get up at 5am, especially when waking up at 6-7am already is something that works for him. When you get up at 5am due to school, work, military or whatever, it's not your intristic motivation to do so, but you're forced to do it by an external factor. In Matt's case, it's all about self-discipline and getting up at 5am when you DON'T HAVE TO. I'd like to see all you know-it-alls to do it when there's absolutely no reason for it and you have to manage it yourself.

I have cried days and nights when my body needed sleep but my mind wasnt ready. It's hard to explain people my carcadian rhythm.

    Ik that waking up at 5 am isn’t for everyone but ima share my mourning routine here for anyone that cares. I’m still a student btw. So recently, I have been waking up at 5:00 am, making my bed, and going to the bathroom for a cold shower. Then I’ll get dressed and brush my teeth. I’ll do some reading until 5:45 and then I’ll start getting to work. Ill work until 7 and then I’ll do a short body weight push-up workout because I am trying to get better at pushups. Then I’ll go back to work until 7:35. I’ve noticed that I can work for hours in the morning without breaks and I don’t get burnt out or distracted. At 7:35, I do my hair and wash my face with cold water. At 7:45 I go downstairs for breakfast and then I leave my house for school between 8:05-8:10. I try to get into bed at 9 pm every night aswell

    Hello Matt, I am waking up at 5 am for the last 2 months. Yes initial few days i felt the same. Low on sleep and energy. But now in the course of time I feel this is the best thing that I have done. Its like I am aligned to the rythm of nature. My body feels lighter and stomach is at ease, since I have my diner by 7pm. According to Ayurveda 4.30am is the ideal time to wakeup and meditate :-)

    As a 62 year old semi retired guy with no work due to COVID-19 I’ve been staying up until approximately 2:00 AM and waking up at 10AM.
    I’ve always been an early riser arriving at my job at 8:00 AM for many years.
    I now find the late night hours to be so peaceful and quiet.especially during the winter months.I still manage to be productive and always have a list of things to do.
    I’m hoping to return to part time work very soon and will change my schedule once weather changes and life resumes.
    As mentioned in this video it’s so important to get 8 hours of sleep to allow your body to reset and heal.

    If you're trying to wake up at 5am then here are some tips. Set your alarm at 4:45am and 5:00am, so then you’ll feel happy because you don't have to get up on the first alarm. *GO TO BED* AT 10:30 or lower ( *but not lower than 8, because then you'll wake up at night* ) because then you'll have enough rest.
    I've been waking up at 5:00 since I was 7 (Now I'm 15) I always liked to be the first one up for the peace and quiet.

      Yes, there's no reason to wake up this early if you have no activities to do. It's very important thing if you start.
