If I didn't know you and haven't watched all your previous videos I'd have said this whole video is just an elaborate way to promote Oura Ring and other products thru affiliate marketing, but I guess it's not. Wait a second... one stone two birds...?
Ahh this is perfect...I get so excited as an entrpreneur with new ideas and never ending work that my sleep SUCKS! Totally going to use these tipssss!!!
Great video as always Sam, could you create a video on "How to view yourself in the 3rd person" you mentioned in a previous video that your life changed when you incorporated this! Thanks.
I used a weighted blanked last night after mentioning this video to a friend they said they had one. It felt like I was getting a hug all night it was the best thanks for that! :)
Thanks Sam for making these videos, they have being helping me a lot. I now see many changes in my life just implementing what I learn from you. Thanks again
I'm glad that you mentioned noise machines. I find it easier to fall asleep with some audio going in the background. Though I'll need to test if my sleep quality is better or worse with sounds.
I've been doing this for a year. Thought I was freak but I guess there are other sheet geeks out there too :) Gotta get the Oura ring though. Some other variables I also input are "Happiness 0-10", "Motivation 0-10" and "Financial 0-10". And one tip is that you can create a Google Form that stores all the data in the Google sheet automatically. So every night I fill out the form and it sends the data to my Google Sheet document.
Found this video facinating Sam with some great practices. I have found meditation, exercise and reading really beneficial for me personally and will definately give the other practices a go. Thanks for taking the time to research and collect all this data and then to share it with us generously. Incredibly grateful Sam. Keep the wonderful content coming👍
Hey Sam it was really helpful your yesterdays video that tonight I got an awesome sleep! Thank you for that, because that was the only think that I was struggling with.
Thanks for these Sam. Here after watching part 1 last night, honestly so mind blowing. We all know sleep is important but usually we just throw ourselves in a bed or couch at the end of the day and hope for the best. This has given me so much to play with. I had a couple of questions about your wake up routine. You mentioned the 2 hour wind-down pre-sleep. Do you have a similar 2 hour wind-up when you wake? When do you eat breakfast and what do you have? Are you meditating after waking? (I do this first thing, utilising the relaxed mind) What things do you avoid doing straight after waking? etc. I feel strongly that the first few moments & the first couple of hours set the trajectory for the day, and was hoping you could speak to this maybe in a part 3. Loving all these mindset/productivity/health videos mate. Alex
Could you do a part 3 on the mental/emotional/psychological aspect of optimizing yourself for sleep (fear, anxiety, stress, overwhelm) I bought a Bedjet v3 and a oura ring last night! But I struggled to sleep because my head was running about what I need to do and my goals etc despite removing electronic devices 2 hours before I sleep, using white noise, and not eating 2 hours before sleep time.
Nutrigenomics ie: Neurotransmitter nutrition is key. 6 different genome types determine your best answer and there is a company who has just mastered a custom solution. Not just the testing to determine your type but the supplement solution. This also changes blood from anaerobic to aerobic in 5 minutes! Science has figured it out. Doing a soft launch so text 250 927 5574 and mention Sam O.
You worked 12.5 hours. Could you possibly breakdown a general work day schedule and how you go about doing working through your day and tasks. Many thanks either way.
Thanks Sam for this amazing video may i ask you to make a video on a couple of questions that are very frequently lived by every person who tries to get his life together and boost his performance. "How to deal with getting out the routine i designed for my self for a reason or another? because usually when i do i get veeery lost and i get easily back to bad habbits." "What is a good and balanced diet system for a beginner who can't afford expensive ready meals? And how to make it efficient so i wont waste time cooking and still eat healthy? What resources you use for that?" Thanks sam in advance for considering this, if anyone find this intersting please like this so it gets sam's attention 😄
What about waking up in the morning? Usually there’s an optimal and efficient way to waking yourself up in the morning based upon your sleep cycle. I.e. you wouldn’t want to wake up in the middle of a deep sleep or REM cycle - there’s bands/watches out there that specialize in tracking this to nudge you during light sleep at a time closest to your desired wake up time
Great Video! Thank you for sharing the health tracking sheet, I was recently planning on making something similar myself. I appreciate you providing a great template! I have a question which could be a topic for another video: How do you compound your knowledge? What I mean by this is: how do you grow your knowledge in such a way that you remember what you read and what you learn? I feel that every book I read I apply in the short term, but forget about in the long term. For example, I knew that in relationships you can't lose sight of your own path and your own dreams and ambitions. I'd learnt that before. And yet I made the same mistake a few years down the line. How do you live by the knowledge you gain and the life lessons you learn? And build on, rather than forgetting about this basis? Thanks again for all the great content. Looking forward to meeting you in a couple of years time.
Always get checked for Sleep Apnea. I know lots of people with it and always use your mask. If you have it then it will cripple your life and your ability to move forward. The less air going into your lungs and brain means less productivity. I really thank you for going over this Sam. You didn’t even have to get a Masters Degree to figure out this is a major problem with anyone in any industry. I wonder what the statistics are world wide. This is why homeless people have struggles moving forward.
Hi Sam, your videos are really good keep up the good work, I'm constantly learning new things from you. In a video you talked about eliminating and automating, for this I have a question I use your healthsheet for Ouraring. Do you have an automate to transfer the oura data to the healtsheet? The Qura cloud allows yes to export the data in a CVS file only unfortunately I can not just copy & paste in the healthsheet transfer. Did you find a way for you here? I am happy about your message
Sam you're brilliant! thank you for sharing all that knowledge in a such formatted and logic way! can you recommend other entrepreneur who share this kind of knowledge related to SAAS? (i'm already following Alex Becker, he's brilliant as well btw ;)
I think it would be great to do a third video about the mind, because no matter how many gadgets you have and how perfect your room is for sleeping, if you have an unpeaceful mind (busy, anxious, stressed, angry, etc.) when you go to bed, you just won't sleep.
Oh, yes. Two more things. 1. I would add something to the file (for women). I would add lines to record info about our monthly cycle, because it has a massive impact and it would be cool to track that and see how much it alters (for good and bad) your sleep and general performance. 2. Sleeping with people that snore I love your videos, by the way!
Another variable that should be mentioned is room humidity because the AC acts as a dehumidifier, but in some rooms, it may reduce the humidity below optimal conditions causing overall increased illness as your nose and airways get drier and its harder to catch bacteria and viruses, not to even mention that some people forget to maintain their AC once a year or change the filters which causes more problems, so people without knowing this may ruin this entire experiment and think their +$4,000 investment considering all the products you recommended was wasted. Humidity levels play a big role, I may argue that even bigger than some of the concepts you mentioned in your spreadsheet.
Sam you are amazing! Better and better BUT have you tried OMAD or Intermitent Fast? Imagine working up until 5pm with no lunch break with An increase if NRG and FOCUS by the hour!
More things I would add (based on experience, unfortunately): you ain't gonna get a decent sleep unless your adrenal glands are fixed. Having been through adrenal fatigue, I'm taking extra supplements for ensuring my adrenals are functioning well. Additionally, I do acupressure on myself to provide my adrenal glands with release (they don't relax by themselves because it runs on autopilot, however a "hard reset" acupressure 10-15 mins before bed does the trick). For general relaxation I find aromatherapy is amazing: I use Himalayan salt lamp that has an essential oil dispenser integrated into it: the Himalayan salt lamp purifies the air and the aromatherapy is beneficial to putting one in the bedtime mood. Also, gives a nice and homey light and can be used without essential oils. I left a comment on the first video which either got marked s spam or deleted where I mentioned these things along with others so I'm just repeating here (probably because I mentioned the supplement name; anyway, if anyone has issues with adrenals, it's easy to find the doc on RU-vid).
Hi Sam, it’d be great if you made a video covering the early days of your entrepreneurial journey and why people who cant leave 9-5 employment are short sighted. Niall
He says you can't audit the work end/work duration of that day once the day is over. But this is the same as with the diet, alert,mood,meditation,workout.... So this ones also need to be done when the day has ended right? Or did you mean you need to fil that in for the day before?.
Sam, what's your thought on Alex Becker sleep schedule, 7.30PM to 3.30AM? or some CEOs that sleeps between 9PM to 5AM. it seems unnatural and might go against our body natural clock. I tried it, not working so well. Have you tried it? What's your thought on the insanely early wake-up time? :)
Sam, can you share what kind of supplements or vitamins or enzymes you take on a daily basis? and also share what kind of supplements are Must-have for high performance :)
I play bineural beats from my Amazon echo plus and use tea light candles or other candle sticks with a 7 W incandescent bulb. You can ask Alexa to play Summer night and ocean waves or water . I have beautiful sheets and blankets. I keep my room cool and I also use vernado fans for me and my dogs. Environment is everything and where you measure performance, performance improves. I’ve always been a fan of tracking and quantifying physiological things ever since I had a polar heart rate monitor in the early 1990s. I want to get an aura ring
My Oura Ring says I am awake for about 2 - 3 hours per night. I have had it for about 3 months and it always says I woke up about 15 - 20 times per night for a total of 2 - 3 hours. I don't remember waking up this much.
I think it either has to do with movement or temperature. this is what their website says Movement: Oura uses actigraphy to estimate your sleep patterns and sleep-wake cycle. Temperature: The occurrence of sleep and wakefulness is closely related to changes in body temperatures. Oura tracks the variations of your body temperature by measuring your skin temperature each night.
Hey gang! :D @SamOvens: You put a 90% on how "Sore" your muscles were were that day. Does that mean that you were REALLY feeling sore that day, as you put 90%? Just trying to figure out how to accurately decide my metrics. Thx guys! :D
I've alternated between Day and Night shift for 7 years - 3x 12 hours day , 3 day free, 3x12hours night, 3 day free, 3x 12 hours night , 3 day free, 3x12hours day, 3 day free - repeat. It was Zombie mode level 11. Now I don't use alarm clock
I wonder what your thoughts are regarding polyphasic sleeping? Similar to what Cristiano Rolando does, yet, quite the opposite to pretty much everyone. Love your content 🔥 👌🏻
Hey guys! :) QUESTION: What metric is Sam actually referring to when he talks about the "HR", "LRHR" and "LRHR" (time). HR = Average bpm? LRHR = Lowest bpm? LRHR (time Sam shows as "03:44") = ....where do I find this metric? Please advise if anyone knows the anwers to this :) Thx a lot in advance guys! Regards, Fredrik
Sam, if you are going to talk about sleep, please, talk about polyphasic sleep. I want to know what a real entrepreneur thinks of the effectiveness of sleeping 4h or less.
