This is my new job — I’ve been working here since mid-April, so it’s almost two months now. My working hours are from 6 AM to 4 PM.

Honestly, I’ve been feeling really tired. I usually stay up at night playing on my phone until around 10 PM or 11 PM , and sometimes I don’t even shower until midnight. But I have to wake up at 4:50 AM, so I don’t get enough sleep.

I noticed that if I eat dinner at 7 or 8 PM, I end up sleeping and showering even later. So now I always try to eat at 6 PM. I only realised this after working for about 3 weeks.

Sometimes I feel like I want to escape from reality. This job feels quite different compared to my previous one — there's less space, and more stuff everywhere. It’s not like the servicing job I used to do.

At night, I go on dating apps and chat with people. But every morning when my alarm rings, I regret staying up late.





I feel super tired and always ask myself why I didn’t just go to sleep earlier.









Why I sleep at 11pm or 12am

Same thing happened today…

Where you work?

The 5 AM Club: What Is It And Should You Join?


Waking up at 5 am may seem like a nightmare, but for a growing number, it's the route to a fulfilled life.


Based on a book of the same name, the 5 am club is all about rising early to concentrate on your life goals before the rest of the world wakes up.

This new trend became popular in 2018 when the club’s ‘President’, Robin Sharma, released his book titled ‘




The 5 am Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life’.
《早晨5点起床俱乐部：掌控清晨，成就人生》

It’s since become an international bestseller and the concept has become a bit of an online sensation too.

Now, members are soaring. Influencers sing the club’s praises. Life coaches share Sharma’s motivational quotes.


Social platforms are awash with the #5amclub hashtag.
So, given its popularity, it may be time to consider your own 5 am club application.



On my first morning, I got all the wisdom found in Sharma’s book and felt ready to apply it to my own life.

Here are three key ideas I learned from Blinkist’s explainer of The 5 AM Club.

1. You Need to Protect Your Limited Mental Capacity
We all have a limited mental capacity or cognitive bandwidth. And this can easily be taken up with work responsibilities, childcare duties, social media notifications, and all the errands we need to run.

We may have the best intentions to work out or read a chapter of a personal development book each day, but before we know it, our to-do lists have taken over and our cognitive bandwidth has been used up.

Getting up at 5 A.M., and focusing on the things that matter to us first thing without any distractions, stops this from happening.

早上5点起床，先专注于对我们最重要的事情，避免任何干扰，能够有效避免这种情况的发生。

2.


Use Day Stacking to Improve One Skill by 1% Each Day
One hour a day doesn’t sound like much when you want to improve a skill, especially when you only spend 20 minutes of that hour reading and learning.


But Sharma argues that a small amount of daily progress can add up.

This is what he calls “day stacking.”

If you aim to improve a skill by just 1% each day, over a year, these days will stack up and you’ll have improved by more than 300%.

“All change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end.”

使用“日积月累”法每天提高1%的技能

每天一小时看似不多，尤其是当你在这其中只花20分钟进行阅读和学习时，似乎不足以提升技能。

但Sharma认为，每天的小进步会积累起来。

这就是他所说的“日积月累”。

如果你每天只提高1%的技能，一年下来，这些天数会积累成一个巨大变化，你的技能提升将超过300%。

“所有的改变开始时都很困难，中间有些混乱，但最终会变得非常美好。”

Robin S. Sharma.


3. Follow the 20/20/20 Rule

Waking up at 5 A.M. alone won’t transform your life. After all, you could just wake up and spend the extra time on social media or watching T.V. The 20/20/20 rule is what makes Sharma’s morning routine so powerful.

Sharma says you should spend 20 minutes on vigorous exercise, 20 minutes on reflection by meditating and journaling, and 20 minutes on growth by reading and learning.

Sharma提到，您应该花20分钟进行剧烈运动，
20分钟进行冥想和写日记反思，
另外再花20分钟通过阅读和学习来成长。

He recommends this order, but, of course, you can customize the routine to suit your life and goals. The point is you get up early and spend an hour bettering yourself each day.


Take excellent care of the front end of your day, and the rest of your day will pretty much take care of itself.

Own your morning.

Elevate your life.


At the top level, the benefits include **** a reduction of stress***** in the morning,
******improved sleep quality****, and an
****overall happier mood.*****

I work 9am but send my partner to work everyday...

Also 7am to 4pm...

Wake up 5am...

Sleep before 12am...

You need about a month to get used to it...

First 1-2 weeks i felt like dying too...

You need to have motivation

Guy have 3 motivation only


Power,
Pussy,
Money,

Which one are you?

Put some workout/exercise sesh into your daily guarantee won't have this problem. First time will be rough but it will do great things to your body and then your life overall

Coffee does wonders

not enough rest is bad for you, period.

If you wanna keep the job, you should start changing your daily routine, dinner eat early n then sleep early.

ok lah , i oso 6am-4pm , but already used to it, dinner very early at 5-6pm , then sleep before 10pm

just get use to the cycle, sleep earlier , dont play phone till so late

This post has been edited by cytyler: Jun 4 2025, 06:56 AM

good timing. go out no jam, go home also no jam yet.

Wah I wish I have that job timing. Mine is 7:30 to 5:30. Much more tiring.

What is your job?

Money and woman

You also work early morning?

no big deal la dik. over time your body will adjust to the time and u will be ok.

i've worked US time before supporting US projects. i still alive until now.

i thought u knew this is gonna happen when u sign the offer letter?

This my friend is called delayed procrastination

You subconsciously try to have a late night knowing that u have to work tomorow and try to let’s say try to have more time for your self that it affects your sleep

Here is a trick, u need to train your body to sleep early. I used to go to bed at 2 am and wake up at 6am and feel tired and think I should sleep in more but this is not the case. You end up tiring yourself out

Our body has a sleep cycle, light sleep, deep sleep and wake up, if h wake up, do not try to sleep in again. I repeat do not!

This is because the body will go back into this cycle and u wake up feeling even more tired because the cycle isn’t complete and u wake up abruptly due to alarm

This is what my shrink shared, in the end, I train my body to sleep by 11 and auto wake up by 5.30 or sometime earlier so I can work out. I still don’t get 7 hours sleep so I need to refine this further by trying to sleep earlier

You can get a way with lack of sleep when you are young but once hit 40, it will come crashing down on you

programmer

As you get older, you only need 5 hours of sleep

No

I used to work 5am to 4pm. Life is shitty.

No good, i tried that

Heh amature. Try waking up 4.30 am, cross JB Singapore border everyday, arrive home at 6pm

Fk work fk work fk work fk work fk work fk work

how i wish on my previous job that my job starts early

less jam + less distraction at work + productivity is way higher

I work for an Australian public-listed MNC, and my time is just about the same as you...

I commute to nearby KL daily too.

You feel tired because you just started work... You'll get used to the routine soon enough...

To me, starting and leaving work early is a boon because you get to bypass all the jam... Besides that, it's way healthier because you get time off hours to do things with your fam as well as exercising...

I sleep just about 4-5 hours during the weekdays, and I try to catch as much sleep as possible on the weekends btw...

After 55 maybe

sleep no less than 10.30am.

u need those deep sleep and REM sleep usually comes at the end of the sleep cycle.

sleeping earlier cause your REM sleep to come earlier. if not, no REM , ur body will be tired as F.

also pls exercise at evening la u fatty bom2

I tried this at 2015 -2017


Super tired !!!!!

And i arrived malaysia home at 9pm or 11pm

I work 7am -7pm last time


Live at sg since 2017 until now



8 years already

I not fat person

My bmi is normal

Because I work 9am -9pm before

is that supposed to be special?

come on la dik. eat a spoon of concrete and toughen up. don't be pandan

Ok

I will try to change the habits


Recently also almost fall in love

Better focus on job first

6am to 4pm is ngam2 8 hours including lunch? Better than typical 9am to 6pm.

Also can avoid jam and crowds. Very good. Even if work typical 9am also need to leave earlier to avoid jam, this means makan luar and poop in office.

It is about your regular routine that carried forward.

I also sleep around 11:00 ~ 11:30 pm but wake up at 4:00am every morning, even during weekend. Even though alarm is set at 4am, I usually wake up before the alarm. I do not start work at 6am but around 6:40am I'm already out to work. Work finish at 5:45pm.

You still like 8am to 5pm?

6:30am to 8pm, almost 300 days like this, if off day i sure sleep from 2am to 12pm, dont know why

sleep time is 11:30pm to 6:30am

What time you work?

What is your age?

boomer age already , 25+

lastime i work 4am - 2pm for 2 years, frankly it's the best working hour thus far.

go work no traffic, finish work still got time to run errands, then dinner at 6pm, sleep at 8pm. hhnhnhnggg...

aussie/nz hour?

either you sleep earlier or maybe try to change team or change job, that's it LOL

isnt it better? you get to go home before sun set

must be farkin strawbeli, sudah know when is work lagi mau ajar bila tidur ka??

quit ur work or quit ur life

Huh how come you work extra 1 hour.

My working time is 7-4.
Yes I ate dinner around 6.30 -7pm
After meal there are ample of time about 3 to 4 hours to get chores done and some workout

Prolly u need to change your lifestyle instead scrolling phones before bedtime

Neither good or bad: your weak.

I start at 8 but I always wake around 5. A bit earlier if go out for morning jog. Regular day I always do 20 mins stretch, this routine has helped to wake my body up, totally recommend it

I don't do coffee at morning for me it's a recreational drink, I take when I chill at home mostly at night time

My other activity also echo yours. I still scroll phone a lot and sleep at midnight. Earliest I sleep these days is at 11

What I meant was I do not start work at 6am like you. I go out to work at 6.40am and reaches office around 7:30~7:40am. Work starts at 8:00am~5:45pm

I work at my own time as I am the boss, but everyday also I woke up 5.30am to prepare my kids for school. I usually sleep at 10.30pm-11pm every night. At lunch, I do take power nap. Switch off everything, sleep for 30min. It does wonder.

Coffee will not help u. I drank americano every morning, double shot. Still sleepy. Caffeine is a drug, u will need more and more everyday as your body adapt to it. I know someone who drink quadshot and still sleepy as hell.

incorporate some exercise in your life. No need gym, 30min brisk walking after dinner is ok already.

Most importantly, u need good quality sleep. REM sleep. As company owner, my brain keep on working thinking about work, even at night when I am sleeping. I even sleep talk about work. So i took something to get me some of that good sleep, but its still a drug, and I dont want to rely much on it.

Anyway that is life. A lot of rich, business owner I know also feel the same way. Some will resort to drug, some goes for sleeping pill, most will drink until they are tipsy then off to sleep.

Take some time off. Go to Thai, have some fun. Our body need reset once in a while. Find something that make u happy.

At the end of the day, we are all human, so chill out.

Want sleep only ma what so susah? No need sleeping pills, tfk etc. just drink warm milk before bed time

Now that I am a full-time business owner myself, I agree with this.

I do have a sinus problem, so whenever I have a sinus issue - I won't have a good sleep. That's where I rely on Fedac pills, so my nose are dry and not congested, and I can have a good night sleep. Also I take with moderation knowing the dangers of getting addicted to it one day.

Ts a teacher?

how many break time ? breakfast 1h + lunch 1h ?

Fckd sleep = fckd life

Get your sleep right, and everything else will fall to the right places.

2 hours 30 minutes

Or 2 hours

Depends workload

here is my routine

7am-5pm

i woke up around 6am
get ready, then 7am depart from home, sent partner to train as her office is opposite of mine but train close by to her office

reach office around 7.40am, clock -in
return home after fetch partner, around 7pm dy

8pm dinner,
9pm - 11pm play game or watch netflix (to de-stress and temporary forgot about work)

12am-1am sleep trying to sleep

yes i sleep less than 7hr. Yes i'm tired and I'm proud of it.

I dont have much motivation anymore, just come-in work, do my task and go home. Rinse and repeat.

But if change this to something i like, i dont feel tired at all.

My previous work need to wake up 6.45am

And I was very unhappy with that. Everyday wake up feels not enough sleep.

Then I got a better job due to salary huge leap.

This current job I can wake up at 7.30am. I initially thought hell yeah I finally can have enough sleep.

Slowly, still the same. Because it ends up having feeling "I don't have to wake up early anymore so I can sleep late a bit"

So I sleep not enough in the end lol

kena ingat lepas meninggoi company cari orang lain terus

"quiet quit" then...

Play phone at night very bad

What is your age?

What happens if your circadian rhythm is disrupted?

Maintaining your circadian rhythm is very important to your health. If you experience a circadian rhythm disruption and can’t get an adequate amount of sleep, you may develop certain short-term and long-term health issues.

Short-term circadian rhythm disruptions may result in:

A delay in healing wounds.
Changes to your hormones.
Digestion issues.
Fluctuations in your body temperature.
Lack of energy.
Memory loss.

Circadian rhythm disruptions can lead to long-term health conditions in many different body systems, including your:

Cardiovascular system.
Metabolism.
Gastrointestinal system.
Endocrine system.
Nervous system.

20km distance is very far with long working hours from 6am to 4pm

Just find another job that is relax sahaja like selling items in shopee

TS what is your age

you signed up to a unordinary work hours but don't adapt your hours

you need to sleep by 9/10pm, no caffeine by 9/10am if you're sensitive. hit the gym at 5pm, 6/7pm dinner

this is normal, you need to adjust your body clock around that shift

last time also i werked from 3/4pm until 12-1am. sometimes even 9pm-6am

my body clock while farked, i still get around 7-8hrs sleep a day. but my social life beyond weekends are non existent ed

All staff can claim taxi on morning

Around 34 age


I plan eat dinner at 5.15pm

Bath at 6.30pm


Sleep at 7.00pm

This is best for me

This post has been edited by plouffle0789: Jun 4 2025, 11:46 AM

sleep at 7pm like no life liao haha

just sell goods in shopee like me, cashew nuts

What do you sell?
Working in Singapore can give you a good life.
You might even be able to retire by 50.

This post has been edited by plouffle0789: Jun 4 2025, 11:57 AM

oh, singapore?

Cashew nuts, barangan kegunaaan perempuan

So you have a stable income monthly?

yes, initially no business from shopee

need to do a lot of tweak

I especially feel nervous on Sundays,

because Friday night and Saturday are so relaxing (NO need OT also)


On Friday, I sleep late around 1 a.m. and wake up late the next morning.


Even my shower and dinner times are delayed.(not like Mon - Fri)

All of this affects my Monday — I feel tired and it's hard to focus on work.

yeah been this too, just need rearrange your sleep patterns

like alot of my friends ever since they got kids also they been sleeping at 10pm and waking up at 6am daily like routine ed, all cause need send kids to school/daycare etc

If I got kids ,i cannot send them to school


6am need to be arrive at company

more than 30+

i think you're at a junction in life.

1. do you want to go all in for this job and risk your golden years?

2. you feel it is just a job so that's why no motivation, then you need to change job or change mindset.

yes, I wake up at 8, reach office at 9

Actually, this job is ok because there’s no night shift.
There is an afternoon shift from 3:00 PM to 12:00 midnight.

I can claim taxi fare every day after finishing at midnight (if the month is afternoon shift)

Last time i work 9am to 9pm/ 9pm to 9am

Because this job involve many small small items,thats why a bit culture shock for me

Last time my job is dealing with big parts



But now I really wake up my brain and accept it
