Mans lives and breathes productivity. He SLEEPS productively. Absolutely insane.
Ali is never tired because he loves what he’s doing. This changes lives.
Something that also works: -not using your bed as a desk. Don't do work in your bed, just use it to rest -have a nighttime-routine. Give your body a ritual so it know when you are about going to sleep. Like putting on Pyjama right before bed, not an hour before, skin care routine, meditation, journal, etc

bro, thanks for the tips i really enjoyed my sleep last night.
Something I've witnessed is that a day where you've worked a good amount of time leads to better sleep in comparison of a lazy day. And beter sleep leads to better productivity next day. So, it's a closed feedback loop. Both get benefitted from each other.

This is SUCH a helpful video. I started keeping my phone out of the bedroom and using an analog alarm clock a few years ago and it made a world of difference! I also find that having a drink at night really negatively impacts my sleep.
Here's are my takeaways from this video: *The ultimate way to have energy and never be tired is to get quality sleep every night, and to get enough of it* Ali's suggestions ultimately revolve around how you can optimize your sleeping environment & habits so you can get the best sleep possible. 1. Get blackout curtains - we get our best sleep when it's completely dark; make your room as "cave-like" as possible 2. Cool the temperature - the optimal sleeping temperature is 66ºF, what can you do with windows, fan, or AC to get as close to that as possible? 3. Try a breathing technique before bed - Ali suggests the Pilot's method, which is where you focus on relaxing your face muscles, then you focus on relaxing your legs, then you focus on relaxing your arms, and if you're still awake you focus on your breath and simply let thoughts gently glide out of your mind as they come in 4. Get a physical alarm clock - this means the first thing you look at isn't your phone, and placing your alarm clock across the room forces you to actually get up out of bed to turn it off 5. Avoid screens before bed - this one might just be the most challenging. My question to you: is there a way you could shift your screen-related activity from just before bed to the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? This way you have something fun to look forward to when you wake up, you may find a little more motivation, and it helps your body's natural circadian rhythm 6. No caffeine after 2PM - even if you feel immune to the effects of caffeine, studies are showing it still affects your body and your brain cells. Consider enjoying your caffeinated beverage of choice in the morning and refraining from having any more caffeine after 2PM 7. (BONUS) Get 10 minutes of sunshine outside in the morning first thing when you wake up - looking at the blue sky activates photoreceptors in our skin, eyelids, and eyes that help us wake up and maintain our circadian rhythm. Consider ways you may incorporate time outdoors in your morning, for just 10 minutes, to enjoy these benefits. That's all. Cheers! :)

I have been doing this sleep technique since I was in high school. It works so well for me, I can fall asleep with any amount of light, sound, etc. Almost 100% of the time I am out within a min. If you struggle with the concept, there are a ton of meditation videos that walk you through it on youtube
He hasn’t time blocked tiredness into his schedule, he’s just built different like that.

im a young teen and ive been struggling latley with motivation and i found u and some other youtubers and this has helped me and im doing a lot better with time and other things
Great tips as always Ali!!! I also think that exercise helps a lot! I feel like it helps me a lot when I'm stressed and overthinking everything, because it's really hard to fall asleep with a lot of my mind. When I was in Oxford I found that my brain would be too full of all the things that happened during the day (lectures, classes, etc) so just working out at the end of the day solved a lot of my tiredness issues because I got rid of the stress with it.
Let me just say Ali inspires me to be hardworking you change the perspective of the way we see things ❤️ and become productive ❤️😊😊

"Choose what time to wake up" is improved by waking up at the same time every day to tune in your body clock. Which is bettered again by waking with sunrise which adjusts 2 mins per day. Both depends if your job etc allows.

i always fall asleep in less than 2 or 5 minutes. I have two tips. Tip 1(the one I use daily): I start making up stories. Start from a certain place with a certain person, or imagine I’m in a movie i recently saw, then once the characters start to do things I didn’t plan for them , when I start to lose control of their actions, I fall asleep. For me this works really fast and fun. But my friends tried this, and it didn’t work on them; Tip 2(works on my friends): imagine I’m sailing on sea(or walking on a bumpy grassland), try to picture the waves and details, and feel the ups and downs of the wave. Then I get dizzy and fall asleep. And the caffeine tip from Ali is very good! And beware of chocolates too. If I have a chocolate after 4pm, my night is doomed. (Pardon me if my writing is a bit hard to understand, I’m not a native speaker

One very important thing: listen to your body when it tells you to go to bed (yawning, itchy eyes, fatigue). Don’t force, and you’ll have a better day next day. In France we recommend to reach 19 degrees Celsius during the day and 16 degrees Celsius at night. Also, I turn off all my electrical devices and I use earplugs to enjoy complete silence.
Okey, i will start these all things, thanks sir 🌟👏
