Accomplish more, be successful, and attack the day - these are the promises of what's in store for you if you become a morning person. I am not sure the promises necessarily hold. However, I have found waking up earlier has made me more productive, healthy, and happy because I have the extra time to do the things that make me productive, healthy, and happy. I now wake up at 5:30 every day, including on the weekends.

Who am I:
My name is Zach. Iβm a fourth-year medical student in Philadelphia. I make videos about medical school, studying, and growth. I love trying new things and often mess up. However, every time I screw up I usually learn something. Whatever I learn I post it either on YouTube or on my website π (zhighley.com/ββ).
I write a weekly newsletter π (zhighley.com/newsletter/ββ) linking the best things I read, watched, and listened to that week. Join the 4,000+ that read it every Sunday morning.

For me, itβs not about productivity. Itβs about having time in the morning to just chill. Not having to rush out of the house to get to work on time is amazing. Iβve been getting up around 5:30 for 3 years now. Itβs amazing. Having time to cook a better breakfast, take longer showers, longer time to exercise.

I would love to be a morning person and wake up early but here in Denmark it's so difficult to wake up early when it's so dark and freezing cold π₯Ά

what I really appreciate about your videos is that first you try something and then you explain how you did it and give science based advices to support what youβre saying. youβre not vomiting the same things you hear every time and everywhere just to put up a video. great work Zach ππ»

I LOVE MY MORNINGS. I get up without an alarm clock between 6-7am every day and mornings are the best parts of my day because I get more done, I am excited, nothing has happened during the day that could affect me and I'm in full control of how my day could look like later on. Thank you for this video π
-
I love how you always show yourself trying something and then make another video explaining how to do it (just like the running videos)! Super cool!
-
Another amazing video, Zach! Thanks for sharing with us! Cheers from Brazil!

Hi!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this video! I have scheduled to start waking up at 5am every morning starting next Monday morning. This month I am focusing on trying new things that will improve my body and soul - things that scare me but I know are important to being more productive and starting my day in a positive way. Thank you again and I hope you have a lovely week! β€β€

Iβm definitely way more productive in the morning! Once itβs night and dark outside itβs so much harder to be productive and I naturally start relaxing generally.
-
This really helped me a lot thank you. I went from 8am to 7 am now and Im slowly going back to my old routine at 6am. It realy helped with my depression.

Every time when I become morning person I lose my ability to have a life in the evenings. I want to be productive in the eveningsπ€·π»ββοΈ

I love the tone & manner of your video!

i love your channel because a great number of times you have scientific proof on the things that you are trying to convey to people. Great content and amazing quality of video and editing.

The most valuable here is cold shower in the morning. I cold turkey snapped from 8am groggy as hell, to 5am, ultra alert by 5:30am, workibg/being productive by 6am. COLD SHOWER. I swear on my life it'll change everything. And you don't have to start it freezing cold to where you can't get in. Start it Luke warm/warm to where you can actually get in, then walk it down slowly, u till its cool/cold and where you get a shiver and want to get out. Do that till you can stay in there for a couple minutes. You're morning will completely change. Caveat is... You'll get really sleepy around 7-8pm, sooo not so great if you're younger and all your friends constantly go out late at night. Great if you want to outperform your coworkers/get home stuff done.

There were definitely some great tips here that I'll be sharing with my mom too.she doesn't get much light in the mornings. I loved how informative your video was, definitely need to up my game as I want to create more informative videos too. Thanks for sharing!

Your videos are well thought out and practical! Great job Zach

My Struggle is when I'm in a bad sleep schedule, I'll try to go to bed at a reasonable time, For it to take 2~3 hours to fall asleep, Only to repeat the bad sleep I had the previous night. It's an awful cycle to be in and incredibly difficult to get out of.
-
i love the darkness and the coldness and the quietness of the morning

Iβd like to thank you for giving the motivation to finally start doing what ive been postponing for months. Iβve been binging a lot of your videos. Iβm just some lazy 34 year dude stuck in a dead end soul sucking job that pays peanuts. Itβs time to change that. To at least add some of what Iβm passionate back into my life. Thanks!
