Jocko looks like he wakes his alarm clock up every morning.

Jocko a lot of talk but no action why doesn’t get help train and fight in Ukraine maybe cause he loves Russia

😂😂😂

Jocko wakes up Father Time

Gets out of bed an starts screaming at his alarm clock

Lmaoo

Just so you know...this video has been the catalyst to a massive life change for me. Seriously. I'm coming back to it after 6 months. I've lost almost 40 pounds. Written 16 chapters of a book. This video is so motivating, so logical, and the visual aid is perfect. Edit: Thank you Casey

@Brian Stanton what is your book called?

@Brian Stanton Hell yeah Brian

@Part4 I'm sorry I never responded to this. I wake up every morning at 4am. I got to bed around 930. I sleep an extra hour on Saturday and Sunday. An extra 2 hours if I feel like I really need to catch up on sleep. At first, I didn't allow myself ANY deviation, because for me, the smallest disturbance in a discipline can lead to me falling our of the habit fast, however this is a VERY ingrained ritual now. So I have no problem waking up early again on Monday. Sometimes, if I'm concerned that I'm not getting enough sleep, I go to sleep earlier. I always try to adjust my sleeping schedule, when I have to, on the FRONT end, not the morning. I want life and activities to PIVOT off that 4am foundation. So far, it's worked great. I've taken up a 52 short story per year challenge, on top of my other goals. And I read the bible, for 45 minutes with coffee before I start anything else, like my writing. These are all things that I wouldn't have even started before, because I wouldn't believe I could do it. But now, gaining an extra 3 hours in the morning when my brain is as fresh as it could be, I feel like I can take on just about anything.

@ladgend productions I will! I'm pretty much done. Just editing now. ;)

My boy Brian! Good work!

I heard when jocko left his home, he turned to his dad and said, "your the man of the house now"

that's hysterical :D

ou men how the fuck internet has so many brillant jokes ! xdd

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

😂🤣

Kinda token joke still good though

I like how Jocko called him out for the donut.

Discipline tries to get more Jocko every day

😂

Jocko doesn't have sex, he tactically inserts his unit.

i am friends with his daughter.

And then deploys the troops.

Bro what the fuckkk

Awesome informative vid. I have way too many wasted hours in my day. Thank you Casey and Jacko!!! 👍🏻❤️ I love the way you guys think and your success is very inspirational. 🤩💕👊🏼🙇🏼‍♀️👍🏻

Ever since I've started waking up at 6 AM and developed a morning routine I've noticed I get more done during my day. I start work at 2 PM and I end work at 10 PM. Getting up early really helps squeeze in everything I have to do before I leave for work. I usually have between 1 and 2 cups of tea every morning.

I think the key is the brain. When you have somthing to look forward to...its easier to get up. Also you are still somewhat in theta brainwave mode and that's when you are the smartest and creative. Having that alone time in the morning is so important for me and I dont leave rushing out the door which sets your whole day up with anxiety. I used to be that way and now I get up early and demand peace and alone time just to do stuff that makes me happy. Do a braindump of creative ideas or anything. I don't do anything work related until work.

Man I truly appreciate your talent at vlogging every moment of your patience has led directly to your practice... Keep inspiring

If Kasey can : runs a company,exercises twice a day,makes videos, helps his wife and he is older than me and he can still wake up at 4:30am.....then basically I have zero excuses to try it and be more productive. You are leading a good example for me Kasey. Thank you!🙏

Life hack: Wake up at 4am every day to remember how much you hate yourself

@Daniel Fowler yeah i can usually function between 4-6 hours of sleep at work. that being said its harder right now with it being winter and i wish i could just hybernate.

@Paul_Sleeping i do it tuesday to friday myself lol weekends i sleep in and mondays its because i work later so i can get up at 7 lol.

Science shows that different people need different sleep schedules. It's easy to sell an over-simplistic one-trick solution to ignorant people, but it won't necessarily apply to them. The reason why this works in the military is that they have a selection process, this form of discipline doesn't work on everyone.

@Mario yes it is. However, if you'd like to be more productive, it is easier to do so in the morning. also, see 9:33

Ive been waking up at 330 every week day for this year to get to the gym from 4-530 before work and my family wakes up. It has literally changed my whole life. I feel 10000% better in all aspects of my life. Ive lost ~80 lbs, my marriage is better, I'm a better father, I'm better at my job, I'm better mentally, and I feel way more confident.

@Chertsey Nermal no, im still doing it and im up all day and fine. By 930-10PM im ready for bed though.

Manic episode

Great advice. Sacrifice the moment for the betterment of the future. And smart time management. Just what I needed.

Love how Casey purposely added a donut-eating scene before talking to Jocko who explicitly says, "NO DONUTS!" Love the small rebellious gesture.

I remember first watching this in 2018 and exploring the thought of waking up early and I loved it. Fast forward 19 months and I was doing this willingly. I'm not at 4:30 yet, but 6 am is a lot better than 7am. I need more discipline!!!

He was an instructor at BUDS class 234 in 2001, the full 4 hour documentary of it is on YouTube. Legend man

@Ricardo Urena what?

No he wasn’t

I tried waking up early, slept 5 hours a day and every day I was getting less and less productive, to the point I was a complete vegetable in the evening. Now I just sleep 10 hours a day and feel great, my performance never been better.

Well it’s not just about adjusting your wake up time, it’s also about choosing what time to go to sleep. Obviously only getting 5 hrs of sleep isn’t good but in order to avoid that while waking up earlier is to pick a earlier night hour, 9/10 pm.

I might not be the first to say this, but I absolutely needed this video. I get up at 9am and think I've done well... after doing exactly what Jocko said; turning over and embracing a little more sleep. I do have the 'excuse' that I'm a night shift worker. But that's what that is; an excuse. Now, I see exactly where it goes wrong. My day, every day, starts of on the wrong side of productivity. GET UP. WIN.

Definitely feel like we should be implementing elements of this into our lives. Dunno if the partner will be happy about getting up at 4.40am 😂

practice silence like a navy seal

Problem is not getting up early. Problem is: getting in bed early.

@Ashton Lyons winning is living..... Not enough sleep can shorten life and give health problems. Happiness and Health is winning and are the real winning people

Wrong.... Get up early a few times in a row and you will fall asleep standing😅

Can't agree more. My damn problem is always going fuckin bed late.

Facts

@Tsar like having heavy Jetlag but without flying

This video changed my approach to life, I actually started thinking about discipline instead of covering my ass with “lack of motivation” excuse.. It’s a life changer

Interesting. Ive always wondered why my dad tried to cram his militaristic lifestyle in my ears over all of these years.

Thanks a lot man...I'm making a case for myself to wake up early. You have helped me a great deal and you should feel good about this piece of content you have put out. Alright I'll stop simping

Perfect video to watch as I’m up early working overtime on my day off. Thanks 🙏

Watching this at 4:30 am feeling good, then realizing I havent slept yet

S A M E

😂😂😂😂

Cocaines a hell of a drug

4:28

Haha good luck for your day!

The SEALS I knew were just a unique breed. Highly intelligent, even intellectual. The ones I knew slept, kinda. It’d be nothing for them to go on a ten mile run before dawn, work, work out again, squeeze in a college course, hit the rack around midnight or one, and start the whole routine all over again.

This is the most chill and non-intimidating version of Jocko I've ever seen.

Hey Casey, Thanks for your routine and tips. But how do you stay awake in the late afternoon ( especially after lunch).

I was able to lose over 90Lbs due to a similar discipline. Early mornings can be the devil but they helped a lot in my transformation.

now i feel bad that I went back to bed after my alarm lol. this definitely motivated me to get up earlier on the first time and win. thanks Casey. also love the domino schedule marker :)

@Netrics 6 is enough lol

Just be sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep per day, as it will affect your health in the future if you don't.

Don't thank Casey, Thank the Navy Seal that inspired the video 🙄.....

The ironic part is that Casey said he gets up at 4 every morning yet he still had a clip of him eating a donut lol

you're not supposed to notice that! don't u wanna get up at 4am and NOT eat the donut or have the extra glass of [alcohol beverage] and be the coolest of the cool!? don't u wanna be super "successful" and be the best of all time for a brief moment in time!??!!! don't u wanna???!!!!

Great film from Casey again- I’m trying so hard to learn from you. Inspirational. Jacko is awesome and has made me think hard about self discipline- but the funniest moment in the film - Casey please tell me you made it happen - is when Jacko says “don’t eat the burger, it’ll taste great but you will feel so bad afterwards”, and just then, right then, we have a YT add for burgers, a huge larger than life Deliveroo cheese burger, full screen....brilliant 🍔

I've been waking up at 3-4 am naturally, without much effort and it's been really nice. I've been forcing myself to not take naps so that I have to pass out early enough from exhaustion. I'm about to pass out soon, 8-9pm, I can tell. I think drinking coffee early in the morning has also helped secure this particular sleep cycle. I think I'm turning into my ENTJ Naval officer father. Lol. If your sleep cycle is off, just push yourself to not sleep till the time you want to go to sleep, and it seems to set the cycle, at least that's how I got here initially, but I'm thinking the coffee/early morning ritual is also reinforcing the habit.

I’ve been trying to fight this battle of waking up everyday for the last 6 months man. I wake up before my alarm clock but somehow I still end up getting back into bed and waking up late. I need to break this habit.

man that navy seal commander looks exactly like you would imagine a navy seal commander looks like

I soo agree!!! And I just saw him at Fox and Friends being interviewed about his new book

He's winning many battles.

😂😂😂

Phillip Smith alright there internet warrior. My childhood was spent in a war zone, I’d say far away from a hippie.

Jocko is a total weapon. Great time/priority management too, Casey.

Jocko the man, the myth, the legend!

When I started my own business a long time ago, I started waking at around 3:30-4pm every night. It was my best time to think.

I always see this episode when I need to remind my self that I need to work. Shut up and work! Thank you Casey. Thank you Jacko.

Love this guy, especially his daily-early-morning-watch-pics on Instagram haha! Didn't expect see both of you in one vid, that's dope!!

I used to be the closing supervisor at work, getting off at 10pm, staying up til 3am. Then I switched to the morning shift, which STARTED at 4am, so my alarm was going off at 3am. I learned to love it. Got promoted and don't have to come in til 7am usually now, but I still wake up early just to have that quiet chill time before going in.

Jocko’s line of reasoning holds up and can be applied even without getting up at 4am. He utilizes the foundations of habit building to become the future self he wants to be. Casey seems to work hard for the sake of working hard…to tell people he works hard. Tho, he is more entertaining than Jocko.

He says I sleep at 11 AM and get up at 5, so he gets 6 hours of sleep, not 5! which I think is doable for most people, thanks Casey for sharing your wisdom.

Blimey, every now and then you read or watch something that just clicks and wakes your brain up! This video was definitely one of those - thank you x

Mike Tyson talked about this in the 80's. He woke up because it gave him confidence in the fact that is opponent was asleep.

So sleeping made his opponent less of a fighter?

I remember the story about Muhammad Ali, he woke up super early to do his training.

Cuzcatan correction: he slept them in the ring!

@haiku859 he did??

I need to watch this video more often. It motivates the hell out of me.

I have to wake up at 4 I love it! I can meditate, pray, take cold showers sometimes... occasionally read and I’m ready to go to work at 5!

I love how Casey ate a donut during the part during his morning office work. Then Jocko came in and said no donuts. 😂

Waking up at 4:45am every morning is really hard. Especially during the weekend... But that’s probably the hardest thing I’ll do all day and I know if I can do that, then I can do anything. And if you don’t think waking up and getting out of bed that early, try it. Especially in winter when it’s cold and rainy... Hardest shit ever.

Now THIS is the old school content that I LOVE. I followed Casey not for all the cool things he does but to see how he works, how he hustles, to get me going!

snap

Yesssss Same

My gosh, he’s right. Started early morning, working at my desk changed my life forever ! I mean, it’s like warming up for the rest of the day ! Great advice ! ^^V arigatō Casey ✅

Perfect thing to watch at 4 in the morning, waking up in half an hour, gotta win the battle

Over 2 years later and I needed this video. Stoked I found it!

I've tried for YEARS, I mean pretty much since after HS to get up at 6am. Biggest issue is I can't fall asleep till like 11pm. It's in my biological clock to stay up late no matter how hard I try. Now I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 11-12am naturally. One little tweak lol

I use to wake up at 3am everyday. Wasn't as cool though, Just worked at Starbucks 😎

Shit, I left a giant duke at 20001010010101 scorpion drive

5am ...

Woah O2B on Neistat what?

ObesetoBeast SAME

Thank you Casey. Thanks for making this video. Appreciate it sir.

maybe take this with a grain of salt if you're already sleeping badly. there's lots of research showing that it's important to get enough sleep so i wouldn't do this if you are one of the many people that struggle to get to sleep and get to sleep late already. if you are one of those people, getting up slightly earlier day-by-day can help to push your sleep schedule forward so that it's easier to get to sleep at a more reasonable time. what i would also add is that if you get up at 4am, you won't get as much of a release of serotonin in your brain (wakeful promoting hormone) due to the lack of sunlight which would potentially make you feel very groggy and would make it harder to get up and stay awake. don't get me wrong, though, getting up later in the day is arguably just as bad but i think a fair middle ground is around sunrise.

Jordan peterson once said, set a schedule to wake up, no need to be 4 am or sometime earlier, just any time you comfortable with it, just wake up in the same time everyday so you get some sense of order in your life

Youre soft

@å Lmao, true that. With how little sunlight there is during winter, it's hard to wake up with the sunlight when you gotta start school at 8 AM

serotonin is not a wakeful promoting hormone.

What excuse I can have if the Sun comes up 10:00 am and goes down 3:00 pm?

I've shown this video to so many people and I'm watching it again because I just love it so much.

Me: Wishes I could get stuff done without waking up my 2 year old this early in the morning.

I'm up at 4:15 Monday to Saturday, walk the dog (speed walk) for 30 mins. In the gym (5 mins from my house) by 5 out by 6:15. Home, breakfast, shower, and out to work by 7:05 am, home by 6:15 pm for family time. Sunday, awake by 5:30, walk the dog, back by 6, breakfast, Take out the trash, clean the bins, jet wash the garden, clean my taxi/cab and all done for the family being awake by 8:30.......always in bed by 10:15 pm. Never feel tired.

@TheIllerX there’s that blame he was talking about

Well, good for you if you don't need more than 6 hours sleep. Unfortunatelly this is kind of biologically determined, so you cannot just adjust to this without negative effects on your focus and concentration unless you are lucky enough to be born with this ability to sleep less.

@Phenics It seems rigid because while going through the paragraph, one is reading task, task, task and task. But there is time between that. Time that people enjoy.

@re but a little variety in your life doesn’t hurt. Like fucking christ…

@Phenics Yeah same here, but I understand needing a schedule or having a rythem.

Can you imagine Jock coaching his kids sports teams?

Are we just gonna look over the fact that he said that he "switched his hours and now goes to bed at 11 and gets up at 5" but his diagram showed he gets up at 4? In terms of late night early riser, that's a tremendous difference in time

You guys are so right. I found this out lately by accident . I was drinking a lot of dank beer for a year and working a lot (I thought). Before I knew it I was waking up as soon as i sobered up. After too long I became accustomed to 5 am and laying in bed hours before the alarm at 7 Now months go by I now still abuse alcohol, marijuana and lsd, I got another job in the morning doing groundskeeper and bicycle between buildings and then to my regular job and filling my free time on the weekends with work I find once you start walking up at 5AM you really start waking up 3 and laying there enjoying your morning for hours before you get up and start your day which by 11 you are tired sleep wake up and are it again . Dec now I started waking up at 5am in april this year. I find myself bored constantly and I never find it hard to fall asleep I wake with a jolt and work and pot break are close .

This guy is so productive, he doesn't waste time twisting the wrist to tell the time

@jimmyjthorn great point.

also because when he holds a weapon he doesn't have to turn his wrist to tell the time, I think its what most military are taught

Though I appreciate routines to a certain extend (amount of time and such) that let you start properly into your day, but doesn't this kind of schedule (which Casey reveals in the beginning) mean, that you virtually have no or almost no flexibilty when you have to deal with unplannable circumstances and have a feeling of lack of variety? How is it?

I think it really depends on the individual. Some people cant stand routine and I'm one of them. A system works but I need to add some variety too.

And this is why this man is a legend. Friggin' bravo (slow-clapping right now)

Why does watching ur vlogs/ short films always make me wanna be a better version of everything I never knew i had in me .

Man, I felt how crushed you felt with the whole donut thing Jocko said hahaha

When Jocko was at school, his teachers asked him for permission to go to the toilet.

so the teachers could clean them for him.

he was homeschooled...

I hope y’all understand waking up at 4 is natural for all service members. It’s not as bad as y’all think it is.

Dope video. Actually gonna get my hands on this dude's good. Awesome vibes guys, subscribed !

I wanted to become a Navy Seal from a very young age

Outstanding. "The way to freedom, is discipline. " Adapt and overcome. "Get ahead of the curve, by waking up early. " Time management. I own it. Ty. I am now motivated. (64 yrs old. Not too late to start!)

💪💪💪💪👍👍👍

Jocko wakes up the sun every morning.

Jacko at 4:00am in the morning - *says to the sun: “wake tf up”

Thought you were funny or what ?

Read the comment twice 🤣🤣🤣

On God my nigga

Watching this first thing in the morning everyday is so helpful

I absolutely love this guy! Love this video.

I can do 1 day like that and then I need two weeks to recover.

Me 😭

🤣🤣

The video is really informative and well done. But I just can't watch you talk and record while being in traffic, limiting your focus and attention putting yourself and everyone around you at risk. Don't try that at home. You'll get into an accident and wake up at 4am - in the hospital - if you're lucky.

I think 4 hour of sleep a day is perfect. Then I won't feel tired until I get my 8 hours of sleep during the night.

Also you have higher chance of having various types of diseases. I suggest you to do your own research for your own sake

😂😂

Good luck with Alzheimers

@Phillip Smith The celibate.

Who gets 8 hours of sleep?

6:57 I like how the ruler is measuring his hand gesture of "how you get there"

Casey, the world needs more of your videos!

I love these tough guys that dont work until 10AM. Thats adorable, my day's half over.

3:57 I need to have Jocko tell me that everyday

Does anybody else get a wave of hate that runs through your body when you hear that alarm sound or it’s only me

mikeh065 well they go to sleep around 10 pm so it’s close to 7 hours of sleep.. they’ve been doing it for years and they are both visibly happy...

these little beeping alarm clocks... i hate that noise so much, i am awake the moment when the mechanism locks in place. The alarm is off before it started, that's how much i hate these things.

@Viktor Vandaele I had reville for a year now and I still do

My alarm sound is reville

Its because you go to late if you go on time you will be awake before the alarm cloxk

Que canal top. Parabéns

Jocko does not sleep, he waits

Big Ups to the legends who still come back to watch this piece.

i want to see a Jocko-Henry Rollins interview....i think it would be so intense but at the same time even tho Rollins isnt military he uses these same principles in his daily life...these guys are so intense while being some of the nicest most relatable people on the planet

Wake up 4:30 in the morning “To take care of things that are important to you.” Important to me is getting a bit more sleep 😂

Facts 😂😂

- hey wake uuupppp!!!!! Wake uuupppp!!! - what???!!!! What is it????!!!!! - hey....I just wanted to make sure if you wanna carry on sleeping or not....just wanted to make sure.....

Bob Bee If you’re getting to all the things you want to in life on 10 hours of sleep fair enough!

Hey wake up, you told me u want to sleep (while u sleeping)

I was secretly hoping that Caseys answer to question "how do you not get exhausted all the time" will be *"COCAINE! LOTS, LOTS OF COCAINE! MOUNTAINS OF SWEET WHITE COCAINE"*

Amphetamine dude

@J C yeah well that's like...your opinion mannn

come on lebowski

Not funny

@Logan Stroganoff glad you said that. Uppers are everywhere in every career field that is demanding. Construction, hospitals, fighting, combat, you name it

When he decided that he wanted discipline, discipline adapted to Jockos schedule!

How do you function on just 5/6 hours sleep? Is it possible to get used to this and not get tired anymore?

The forearms on that guy to Casey he’s no joke a silverback in human form

@y3wtub3 lmaooooo exactly

Looks like Jack from tekken 😁

Didn't know Thanos was a SEAL. Explains a lot.

Clicks his fingers and his snooze button disintegrates

Thanos checks under his bed for Jocko every night. Jocko also wakes up his alarm clock.

deadass tho

ToBeHonest perfectly balanced, as all things should be

Insert thanos quote here

I used to sleep early and wake up around 4:00-5:00 to do things that I can meditate and having my ME TIME until the time I was introduced to online gameplay.😂

Jacko has his watch turned towards him during the talk so he keeps an eye on it and whether it works correct. He likes to imagine every tic is a push up he’s watch does under his supervision

this video is going to change my life thank you Casey, thanks Jocko Willink

I'm surprised our society can accomplish anything starting a workday at 10 AM.

If we have to wake up at 4am. It's best to sleep really early

@FactFinder I assume you base "90 minutes is better than 7 or 8 hours" logic on the fact that 8 hours is not wholly divisble by 90mins and that it's better to wake at the end of a cycle rather than part way through? The latter part is true to an extent, however, the more hours of deep sleep (Stage 3&4) a person gets per night, the better their GH release, cellular repair and memory consolidation. FYI sleep cycles can be 75-120 minutes long.

I agree, I go to bed at 8 or 9 and get up at 430.

@FactFinder you are totally discrediting the work of hundreds / thousands of sleep researchers who have come to the unanimous conclusion that 7-9 hours (consistent times too) each night is the optimal sleeping arrangement? (Note, doesn't have to be 9 hours, that's what 7-9 means..). Also, things like those with early plaque accumulation (early sign of Alzheimer's) having the onset delayed by up to a decade by increasing their sleep? I recommend reading the book. You'll change your tune. I was the same as you. Was.

@Jacob Dunning 9 HOURS? LOL. He looks like a Berkeley Soy Boy, I don't even sleep 9 hours when I'm sick, but I haven't been sick in 10 years. I know the muscles rebuild during sleep and there's benefit to that but too much sleep...I guess if you want to sleep your life away it's ok. The 90 minute cycles have worked for me, I can function just fine on 2 or 3...4 seems excessive and a waste of time.

@Ebani he explains it all in the book. "Why we sleep" by Dr Matthew walker. Very prominent sleep researcher and he goes into great detail on the processes inside the brain and body.

6:25 - 7:30 Catches viewers attention b/c it tells how discipline can benefit anyone.
