Sure, I'll just listen to my body, and go to bed at 1.30 and get up at 9.30. I have to be at work at 8.30, but hey, I'll just tell my boss I'm listening to my body ;)

Takeaways from this video: 1. Listen to your body. 2. Neglecting sleep to be productive is one of the least productive things you can do. 3. To wake up early, you need a full night's sleep. 4. Marriage is taking its toll on Natalies looks (she even grew a beard)!

Well, of course waking up without an alarm is great if you don't have to be at work at a specific time... I'm a teacher and I have to be at school very early, so there's no chance of not using one, simply because (and I tested that during term breaks) I always sleep until 8 or 9 (and then the first lessons would have started already) if I let my body decide - no matter when I go to bed! It's like my body say "nah, girl, that's my time, I'm not ready to get up any earlier". My compromise was buying an alarm clock that wakes you up with light instead of sound! Much more peaceful, I highly recommend it :)

Agreed! And that's exactly what I thought when I first watched this video. I rewatched it again right now and I realised that the reason he can wake up around 6:30am or 7am without an alarm clock too is because he has been a morning person/early riser/doing the same since the last decade (he said it himself in the video). Our body clocks play a huge part in this.

"I don't need an alarm clock to wake up early, I need a full night's sleep to wake up early" this hit hard 🔥Somehow I stopped using my alarm for 2 months already, can't be more happier now 😍

Matt is one of the best at giving advices. It seems like he has been doing great. Somehow we all need to limit our screen time as much as possible. It can certainly make a huge difference.

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. It feels so balanced. How life should be, not racing to be productive. But real guidance to live a meaningful life. Thank you for sharing!

Natalie's "Nawr" was flawless! As always, such a great video Matt!

Such an interesting concept to stop using an alarm! Especially for us who are early risers and can’t seem to get up without one! I definitely want to start trying this eventually. I love your self improvement videos and they inspire my content so much!

Matt 6AM in Australia here. Thanks for another great video! I realllyyyy can't wait to see your videos if you and Nat decide to have kids. Much of your advice will change in light of the struggles of parenting.

Matt your videos are amazing, really inspiring and motivational! You’re my favorite KZreadr/coffee addict/ “bad boy of minimalism(?)/ productivity realistic/the rock lover! And documentary director 🥸

Lmao quality content Matt n Nat. I obviously do not set an alarm on my days off but dang my body sure does wake up as if it's time to go to work 😔🤷‍♀️ so yes, I agree no alarm is needed as long as your length of sleep is adequate 👍🏼

Your Natalie character and strong Aussie accent just made my day 🤣 I have also been trialling no alarm and it makes me so productive all day! Love your videos Matt, they are always so thoughtful and impactful 😊

Is it just me, or is Matt-Nat a legit believable hippie character? Either way, I think this is amazing & I wish I had the lifestyle to support it. I try my best to not set my alarm on the weekends but during the week, despite being a morning person, I wouldn’t get up in time to get the things accomplished pre-work that I want to do. I try to ‘front load’ my day with working out etc, take time for myself before work, because I’m much more energetic and focused earlier in the day.

I think i’ve been following you ever since minimalism first came out back in 2015, and I must say this has been the most entertaining piece of content i’ve ever seen you make. Great insight on the alarm clocks as well :)

You’re very right. Listening to our bodies is possibly one of the most important things for living healthy. Thank you for sharing. I like this challenge.❤

Жыл бұрын

Yes please!

That exclusive Natalie interview was gold!

This video is great as always Matt but as a 7-4 Monday to Friday employee it isn't super practical! For my 9-5ers, parents, pet owners, etc, if you try no alarms on your off days (if you get those) but end up oversleeping that's from a BAD SLEEP AVERAGE! Your body is trying to make up for lost time (and who can blame it!) If you have a poor and inconsistent sleep schedule (5 hrs one day, 2 the next day, 10 the next) you are not going to wake up feeling great with or without the alarm. The consistent hours every night create higher quality sleep and a more pleasant wake up, not the other way around!

Love the topic! When living alone, using a wake-up light helped me so much, haven't heard an alarm clock in almost two years now! Those sounds can only drive one crazy. Programming a smart light bulb to slowly wake one up is another option and you don't have to buy an extra wake up light - minimalism!

Loving the content Matt and getting some great tips for my own channel. Many thanks 🙏

Very nice one! I've recently started going to bed earlier and even though I set an alarm clock, I end up actually waking up earlier because I got my full rest. And it has been amazing! Loved the video Matt!

Firstly I learn numerous things from your channel .when you say I get early in the morning .i feel very good .this is one of the most sensible thing in the whole world god bless you apart from that.make new videos for your subscribers god bless us

Good to see you handle this topic. I’ve had the fortune of living w/o an alarm for years. For the past couple of years i had to return to the dreadful alarm sounds of my iPhone. If i may suggest a tip, what’s far less annoying than an alarm is the way my parents used to wake up in time, i.e. by setting a clock radio (station). At least you wake up with the sound of music and/or voice(s).

This video is fantastic in so many ways lol. I did this for about a year when recovering from burnout before my kids were in school and it was so nice! I have to wake up early now though since we are out the door so early & I desperately need to wake up at least an hour before my kids do. But I use a spotify playlist that's very calming & my watch vibrates. It's not so abrupt and it works pretty well!

Dude, that was an awesome impression on Natalie. Great video as always.

Best thing you can do to prevent laying in bed vegetating for an hour after waking up is to move your phone away from the bed. I put mine on a charger across the room. Go back to a traditional alarm, or use a smart device such as an Echo to run your alarm schedule. Also, don't change your sleep habits (much) on the weekend; It makes Monday that much more difficult.

If you should ever decide to have kids, I would love to see a re-make of this video. They are alarm clocks without snooze buttons that ring at random times throughout day and night surely produce an interesting sleep chart :-)

You portrayed Nat's eyes to a T. Perfect. :) For the last decade or more I've been using an app called Sleep Cycle to monitor my sleep and wake me up gently with a quiet bit of music that VERY gradually increases in volume. If I don't need to be up at a certain time I disable the alarm function and wake up naturally, so the app just becomes a monitor. I find it works for me. One thing to note is that lying in bed in the mornings actually becomes difficult to do when you get older because your body starts to develop little aches and pains that prevent you from lying still for that long. Enjoy your nine hours in bed while you still can, because it's all downhill from here!

Fab video, as always, Matt. I avoid setting the alarm too, and find we all eventually find our internal body clock, which is much better. Love the new Nat, though this one does need a shave - nawr!! 🧔‍♀

Clone effects are painful dude but this one seems worth it! The camera wobble was a great touch. Also, great video lol interesting concept

You can try the method of setting your alarm for a really late time, but that works better if you have no morning obligations that it's that big a deal if you oversleep for. Basically like.

Yeah, try that with kids and a family. I love minimalism and self improvement. But all of that was gone after i started a family. i barely get about 5-6 hours of sleep at night. (When adding up every nap, not in one piece) Even though we dont buy much things for our kids and set hard restricts to grandmas and grandpas about buying things for them. To be honest, Minimalism is hard if u life with a partner but it is impossible with kids. And its not only minimalism its also the possibility to grow. To learn new skills, habits and hear inside you. We do not have familiy around and COVid did not make it a better experience. I lost many (if not most) friends, have health issues (despite living very healthy with lots of sports before kids) and have barely time for myself. (Both kids happen to sleep very bad and be awake quite often every night) But to give up 95% of your old self and loosing so much just feels bad and unfair. U have no control anymore and being minimalistic helps sure, but not that much how it used to help because its effect is reduced so much in a family setting where u cannot force the other members to obey your ideal. To sum it up: Is here anyone experiencing the same? I completely lost myself in exchange for kids and a family. (I do love them all and think they are the best and anyone having a familiy like this can be grateful) but the constant struggle on the daily routine, fears and anger about the healthiness of your childs and the world they will grow up in eats me up. PS: My wife is also very mminimalistic, not to my extend but definetely above the average. So our appartement is quite tidy and not cluttered but as we all know its not just about the things we have...

I love how you try things out, so we don't have to

Hello Matt! I apologize in advance for my English. Resently i learned about the method of organization of tasks - GTD (Getting Things Done). This method is based on fixing all tasks in one system, which allows easy analyse them, which, in turn, help freeing from them in your mind, whereby leads to getting rid of stress. I think it's will be helpfully.

Anyone that still wants to use an alarm, I use the default android clock app on my pixel and the alarm sound is a spotify playlist of nature sounds. I have the volume max but it gradually increases. It's different every morning and wakes me up somewhat peacefully. When i used a normal alarm i would literally jump up out of bed with my heart racing.

Okay, the time has come for me to do this as well. I've been having sleep issues forever and usually if I let myself just sleep without an alarm, I end up sleeping 10 hours or even more. But I've never been able to stick to the "no alarm" thing for more than a week. So this time, I'm doing this for real. It might mean shifting my whole schedule around, but fortunately I don't have any early morning commitments and can choose my work hours flexibly.

I made it a goal many years ago to create a life without alarm clocks. Life is so better for me when I can ease into my morning.

Who else can make videos about alarm clock this interesting 🤔!!! Excited for Master KZread 😊😊😊

I appreciate that my body automatically wakes me up early 💛 I have a daily work alarm that isn’t to wake me up but tell me when it’s time to log in for work 🤓 thankful I can do this because I woke remote now. Previously, I did have an alarm to wake up to get ready to go to work. Waking up to a jarring sound is so not a great start to the day. Even a nice calm sound is still not the best 😅

I hope that Mattalie becomes a regular in your videos.

I haven't been using an alarm since I graduated uni. I guess it's more doable as a freelancer and not having a set amount of time to start, but I have always started working at 8AM just to build a habit. My body naturally wakes up at around 6 AM everyday and it's been great for me. I don't feel like I lack sleep. But even though at times I couldn't sleep at night, I still wake up at 6 LOL.

it's the "NAURRRR" for me 😂 too iconic

Is incredible how Matt is maturing himself (as we are), watching his past and making some jokes about productivity guru who wakes up 5 A.M. I loved this, bro! Deepy and funny lol

I have done the same experiment for the past weeks, it's wonderful! I am more awake than I was and have more energy. Here I was a coffee drinking non-morning person for 25 years lol. The freedom of being freelancer

Your aussie accent made my day :D

Always done this. Naturally waking up is so superior, yes I need to go to bed an hour early than others but it’s worth it
