How To Get To Bed Early And Wake Up Early

For the past 3 years I’ve been waking up between 4 AM and 5 AM. In that same time, I’ve also been going to bed at around midnight if not later. 

Yes, I realize that’s not much sleep. Yet somehow I have been really productive. 

But after learning about the science of sleep, I finally decided that 4 to 5 hours of sleep is NOT a good long-term plan for me. 

So for the past 3 months, I’ve been researching and experimenting ways to get my butt to sleep at a decent time. For the most part it’s been very successful. On average I am getting to bed at around 10 PM. This is huge for me. 

Occasionally I still end up falling asleep at midnight, but I’m going for consistency—not perfection. And every week I am getting better at resting my mind, body and soul. 

In this video I share some of my best tricks that have helped me get to bed at a decent time. 

Do you guys have any good tips for getting to bed early? If so, DM me or leave a comment below. I’d love to hear them. 

Big LOVE, ⁣
