About this episode

Chris discusses his month-long experiment of waking up at 5:30 AM and its impact on productivity.

On this episode, we chat about Chris’s experiment to wake up at 5:30 every morning for a month—including what he learned from it, what he’d do differently, and what the research says about our wakeup time and daily productivity. We also dig into his experiment to drink only water for a month—cutting out sugary drinks, caffeine, and booze. You can listen (and subscribe) to the podcast below!
