- It's hard out here for a night owl. For the longest time I struggled with waking up in the morning and falling asleep at night. After a lot of trial and error, I've finally figured out how to manage my sleep schedule. Here's how I did it. (✏️Video Notes Below ↓↓↓)

Getting a good night's sleep can be hard work! I've finally released the societal pressure to keep normal hours and am going with the flow of my body. It feels so much better than fighting myself to stay on an unnatural schedule. Figuring out what worked for me took a lot of listening to my body, and fine tuning my evening routine over time. It was a longer journey than I expected, but I feel so much better rested having reached the destination.

THE TIMES I MANAGED TO SLEEP EARLY I WOKE UP AFTER 2 HOURS AS IF IT WAS A NAP 😭
I love how at the beginning you were like, “being a night owl is biological… but I want to be a morning person.” And by the end the solution was just be a night owl 😂 we just can’t outsmart our bodies so we might as well listen to them!
YUP - I can now say I’ve given it an honest try but night owl it is!
Me watching this at 4am wishing I could at least sleep at 1AM.
wow what a JOURNEY! as a fellow night owl I love the unexpected ending
**night owl high five** - thanks!
at 6 or 7pm, i feel a fatigue crash. at 9pm, im effin alert!!! based on what i have watched, it's called a 2nd wind. could be adrenal fatigue.
this is my goal! I'm a super night owl, and need to adjust my bed time, to hopefully falling asleep by 1 and wake up at around 9, thank you so much for sharing!
i'm in the process of figuring out my new sleep needs after a chaotic year dealing with the aftermath of burnout. so being reminded that sleep is not a quick fix is very comforting
Yeah I definitely found it to be an whole, long, journey. Yes to taking that time for rest and recovery
The orange glasses are a game changer.. I'm excited to start wearning mine again. Thanks for the reminder :-)
Love this for you! Being able to find a way to work with your natural rhythms is the dream. I think especially with the whole morning routine thing there is a lot of pressure about your days fitting a certain look, regardless of whether or not that actually works for you.
Thank you, Lydia! Exactly - finding something that works specifically for you can be a challenge but it’s worth it!
Not me watching this while getting ready for bed at 4:15am 😬 being laid off really has me effed up
Before the pandemmi though I'd figured out that being in bed falling asleep by 1am and waking up at 10am was my body's ideal schedule
Hoooo boy, the late night/ early morning CZcams rabbit hole sounds so familiar - woof
Feel this struggle; having a longer than 24 hour body clock is a nightmare to try and commit to anything -__-
Putting a routine on my sleep tends to stifle my creativity, for there different energies through out the nite and day of which I transmute... My solution has been to remain flexible between night owl and early bird... which tends to reak havoc on my social life but my art is more important.
yes for for the 1am and waking up around 9am, there's been weeks i wake up at 8am because of early calls due to rome time but it's so good when i am more intentional about reading and then finally going to sleep. thanks for sharing your struggles and journey!
For sure! Glad you can appreciate - getting rest on your natural schedule makes such a difference
Love this. I'm a night owl as well and struggle with falling asleep too.
I'm better afternoons and evenings too.
HOOT HOOT, i am a nightowl, i became a RN nurse so i could work swing shift 2nd shift in afternoon/evening. I wish i was a morning lark. My family and friends do not understand
Great job using a notepad! I guess your body needs time to adjust to this new sleep schedule.
Thanks! Yeah it took a long time!
You definitely gained a subscriber! Love your energy!
I Like. Self hypnosis CZcams sleep videos fixed my sleep. Peace
Haha wow, that's awesome that you came right back to just doing what felt best for you. I'm a fellow night owl but I've worked an 8:30-5 (or at one point 7:30-4) job for my whole adult life and it is a STRUGGLE sometimes. It's gotten way better since we moved to work from home last year, since I don't have a commute and can just roll out of bed at 8:15. The only thing that I've found to quiet my mind to let me sleep is listening to calm stories like on Headspace. Otherwise my brain won't stop going! Anyway, loved the video!
Love Headspace! Yeah I have strategically worked jobs that have only required me to show up at 10am. Morning work requirements can be so rough!

🇺🇲🌎balance your timing with jogging anything strenuous, you were running yes ? employ the activity into your schedule. I'll give ya a hint, brain activity versus concentration/focus . ..... .
