​ @caricakes I have always been a morning person too. In high school I got up at 6AM seven days a week! Work has made me a little bit more of a sleep in person but still better in the am.

I‘m definitely a night owl. Always have been even in my school days. For some reason i‘m more productive in the evening/night. Back in my school days I always did my homework in the evening. I don‘t know why but I love it when it‘s dark outside and the quietness that comes with it☺️

I am so happy that summer weather is making the comeback, seeing so much light throughout the day definitely makes me happier. I've been a night owl my entire life, but I am trying to wake up a little earlier these days too. Hopefully the sun will make it easier 😅

Both, early is for coffee a book on the porch watching the deer, rabbits, squirrels, listening to dove calls, drawing. Late night is for reading and talk shows, afternoon is for chores, sewing and a nap, but i'm retired lol! Beautiful video, i love snow but i also love flowers and baby green grass of spring, so i choose everything!😉🐩🦌🐇🐿🦋🐞🌸💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷🍦☕

I agree, 22-23° with some sunshine and a nice breeze is the perfect weather! It's nice enough to enjoy the sun, but you're not dying from heat or humidity.

i love your vlog and the way you filmed it !

Your channel is my comfort channel 🥰🥰🥰

I'm the exact opposite - when I try to force myself to be up early and doing things during "normal people hours" I feel so sluggish and miserable. But when I just let myself follow what seems to be my body's natural rhythms and stay up all night then sleep during the early part of the day, I feel so much more content and I actually have the energy to do more things. Maybe because the rest of the world seems quieter and more peaceful while everyone else is sleeping. I'm so glad that you're finding your way back to the rhythm that works best for YOU though! I think that's what's most important, really. Learning to listen to what your brain and body need and working with that as much as you can.

😊You look very happy in your new home!

Cari your channel is the coziest corner on the internet!!..🥹💓

Such a calming and relaxed video. Your home is so lovely and you look so at peace there…❤️

You live such a wholesome life... it's lovely to see you experience life and you sharing it with us, is magical! Thank you ✨

i've always been a morning person and i'm honestly so grateful for that! so much more time to get stuff done (or even just chill hehe). also, it's very nice to see you working out regularly 😊🤞i had lost my routine for a while, but recently i started getting back to it and it feels sooo nice! 🌸

This video was the perfect mix of comforting and inspiring. Forever my favorite youtuber

I really needed cheering up after this Eurovision 🥹😂 love you!!

thanks for the wonderful video, cari! i've been watching you since late 2020/early 2021 (i think?) and it's been a while since i last visited your channel. really needed this to reset my mind for uni and stuff... and the morning person advice is just !!! thanks. this was a pleasant watch

I loved this video so much. I was so good about waking up early and then after my half-marathon I’ve been sleeping in but you’ve inspired me to wake up and seize the day! Also I’m a new booktuber and have definitely learned that practice makes you better and it’s difficult learning new hobbies as you mentioned BUT it’s also rewarding and so fun! Thanks for being so inspiring!

I just loved your new video! It was so cozy and happy. I always look forward to watching it on Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee. It's the perfect way to start my day for the last five years. I'm a morning person too. It feels like a switch has been turned on and I'm awake! It's so easy to wake up in summer, but I often find myself sleep deprived because it's hard to go to bed early with the late sunsets and warm nights. I'd love to see another video of what you wore in a week. Your style is so authentic and not so trend based. Another apartment vlog, maybe trying to finish some things furniture or decoration wise.

i really love those calming, cozy vlogs

i feel the same way about my productivity in the morning, when i get up earlier it just changes my whole day but it’s hard when ur not around other morning people! i feel like who i’m living with at the time changes my own schedule too. also seoul has such beautiful cafes you have convinced me to visit one day

I think it's because ur new house is sunny and ur face got brighter cari~~~~~! Always support you and stay healthy~~~ :)

I relate so much to this video, especially in this moment of my life where a lot is changing and I’ m finding what works for me again. Thanks for sharing these reflections and moments of your life ♥️

Absolutely love early morning to have some quiet time to myself before I have to work ❤

My favourite part of Sunday is making peppermint tea and watching your vlogs! Love from Australia x

loving the chappell roan

I don't know if it's the house my husband and I moved into, a bit of postpartum depression, or what, but at night when I close our curtains it makes me want to cry. So, I've been waking up early (for me). I have more sunshine to make me feel better. Hopefully I'll find a routine that will help me in the winter, too. 😭

Awesome video. Enjoy all your daily adventures. ❤❤

I relate to everything you said so so much. My husband is a night owl and it has taken me years to readjust to getting up early (before moving in together, I was in bed by 9pm and up by 6/7am). It feels so good to get those hours back in the day. I realized recently I was just wasting time after 8pm because I didn't actually have energy to do anything; and like you, I have my energy in the morning, so it just makes more sense to start the day earlier and go to bed earlier. Also similarly to you, I have a very flexible work schedule, so it takes more discipline to stick to a sleep schedule. Good for you for getting back to a sleep schedule that feels best for you!

Me too! I am a early morning person! I love to start my day early, get things done early, go out early and be back at home by early afternoon.

what a lovely vlog! I've def become an early bird with the change of my work schedule and it's been so much better for my mental. I love getting stuff done before 1PM it gives me a sense of satisfaction like nothing else! Even on work days when I get out later-ish time doesn't feel wasted bc I have better healthier routines in place ;; /proud

definitely a morning person! love how much more time i have in a day

I relate to you so much, waking up early has never felt like a ‘task’ for me, it was always so easy to do. And yet even if I am a morning person and I am definitely more productive in the morning, I still feel like I get more creative in the later hours, at night. Which has been a struggle for my sleep schedule 😅

LOVEDDDD THIS VIDEO!!! INFACT, LOVEEEE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ON THIS CHANNEL!!! I JUST LOVE HOW COMFORTING, QUIET, AND COZY YOUR VIDEOS ARE. IT'S LIKE CATCHING UP WITH A GOOD FRIEND! WHEN I GET A NOTIFICATION THAT YOU POSTED I UNEVITABLY GET A SMILE ON FACE AND THINK "I'VE GOT AGREAT EVENING AHEAD OF ME!" BECAUSE YOU ALSO DON'T JUST POST 10 MIN VIDEOS, THEY'RE A GOOD 30 MINS AND I'M. NOT. COMPLAINING. LOVE YOU, LOVE THE HOUSE!

Cari, I cannot believe your timing! I have been struggling while trying to push myself to wake up earlier to enjoy my mornings... working from home again has kind messed up my routine, but watching your vlogs always give me motivation to try again, so thank you for continuing to share a part of your daily life with us

I am a night person but I got myself to wake up and go to be easily by 1. getting sunlight in the morning (10 minutes on a sunny day and 20-30 on dim/cloudy) AND 2. being outside at sunset (even if it is cloudy and I can't actually see the sun set, being outside when the sun is going down really helps)

Seven months of being on Instagram practically 24/7 (needing to keep up with the world so I am aware of what is happening in 🇵🇸) really messed with me because I didn’t/don’t have a job to focus my attention. Setting a once-a-week solo adventure to leave the house that doesn’t involve babysitting or the gym has been my way to waste time “correctly.” Also telling myself that if I want to look at a screen, it’s to watch a show/movie/KZread video that is on my watch list 👌🏼

I have phases where i can wake up super early and feel really good, like last year during winter i would wake up before 6 am and go to the gym, but lately my sleep quality has been so weird that i really struggle in the mornings. Even though i love being out and about early. Especially as summer is approaching, i'm definitely gonna try to go back to that vibe ❤

I am suuuch a morning person! I thrive the most around 6-9 am, that’s when I am quiet and do yoga and things for my health and body. When I became a mom the kids waking up early was the best thing for me because early is when I thrive so my kids give me even MORE energy!

The view from the new apartment 😍Also totally earl bird person, I like the city being quite and almost "just for me" xx

i am also on a journey to reclaim my morning self; i am happier and much more productive in the morning! also i love east of eden so much - sooo many underlines!

As always I enjoyed my morning coffee with your vlog🩷😊 I am now more morning person because of my work, I work at cafe/bakery 🍰🍩 And yes I feel like I have more hours in my day and I get a lot of things done 😊

I’m 💯 a morning person like you. It’s funny to hear you say by afternoon it’s game over- again I’m the same and often feel like I’m the only one, that that makes me lazy! I’ve learnt that it’s ok to take a bit of time in the afternoon to do low mental energy tasks and then pick things up again around 5. Loving your energy RN Carrie, it’s giving me life 😊

What a nice week! I’m glad the new place is creating some ease in your routine. I’m such a night owl but sometimes wish that I was an early bird for the exercise time.

I’ve always been an early bird and nothing feels better than waking up to a sunrise 🥹 but I struggled with my sleep schedule over the past 8 months probably and just a few weeks ago I started prioritising waking up early while also getting at least 8h of sleep 😴 Long mornings are truly life changing! On the other note… I need to get up at like 2am tomorrow, because I’m finally going to Vienna for my solo birthday trip! 🤭 My sleep might be a bit messed up, but there’s nothing an afternoon nap can’t fix 🫣

When you mentioned you loved it when what you were reading reflected life, I though of how I also love when books coincide with something you just learned or watched or whatever. A few months ago I read Defy the stars and around the same time watched Casablanca and once I started reading it, found the movie was quite often mentioned, and idk things like that feel like the universe conspiring lol Also, challengers, omg I don't even know what that was haha, it was enjoyable but yeah, at some point the music felt like too much but it was hilarious 😂
