I wake up at 4 in the morning to be able to work on my computer, think, run, write or sometimes just walk outside and stare at my dog. I do this because from 4 to 6:30 I don't see a hear a single human being is amazing.

I know this video is old, but it holds a special place for me. This must have been the first Ted Talk I ever watched, oh so many years ago, and I thought it was so goddamn funny at the time. I still think it is. A classic.

@UrbanSurvivalMethods 8 лет назад

I actually found this while looking through Ted Talks to watch….at 4am.

@lorrainejohnson829 6 месяцев назад

OMG I just noticed...it IS actually 4am right now 😂

@TheDiscoMole 11 лет назад

The reason 4 am is such a controversial time is cause on an emotional level adults doing work and procrastinating recreationally find the hour from 4 to 5 to be the turning point where one day changes into the next. Even though we can rationally tell that midnight is the time shift to the next day, on an emotional level we feel that the new day has approached as we start approaching the morning light at around 5 to 6 which infers that 4 am tends to be the real end of a day to us.

@skiinginmt 11 лет назад

This is a very good example of how information can be cherry picked to form outlandish conspiracy theories. And it's funny.

"Meme" in 2007? I didn't recall it was used at such an early time.

@InfiniteFaithInGodsUniverse 3 года назад

The word "meme" is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "to imitate". The word has been around since 1976.

@beecare5383 6 лет назад

ayub abdikarim I think...that is at the time when Allaah subhana Hu wa tala decends to the lowest heavens. ( check some hadeeth about it) Hence the night pray (Attahajud) - is a potential time for dua to be accepted. Plus starting your business or studies or anything else for that matter ,from that time onwards, insha Allaah. Has with it emence blessings for whoever is up and active in something one way or another. It has reminded myself of this blessed time that is available to all who seek it. Hope that helps bro. Peace. ( just to explain a little - A person would derive the most blessings, success or whatever you what to call it, in what he or she is doing) Hence and Allaah knows best: " For the most part...you see that Wealthy people are awake and active at these times taking advantage of the time...but in the unseen forces in life...they are actually conciously or unconsciously reaping the blessings and benefits of starting anything at the peak blessed time on the morning before sunrise. These guys have named it as 4am".

@shvonned.burkemsncrnpagpcn619 4 года назад

Funny thing is, I don’t consider myself to be a creative artsy type (more of a book smart nerd) but whenever I wake up between 345-4, on occasions I have all sorts of ideas and write poems. More than one at a time. I literally have to stop myself. It even feels as if I’m operating like a computer while it’s all going on. Idea after idea. I surprise myself, but sadly haven’t made a habit out of it yet. I should. Maybe more people should. (Now as a I write it’s 636, been up since 4 am) 🤯

@thirteenfingers 14 лет назад

This guy's delivery style is incredible! Musical. Rythmic. As a public speaker myself I like to see (should that be hear?) someone who can deliver well, He's a master! There's a really poetic quality to it. Hm - as I typed this I checked the video description. I see he's a poet (previously I'd only read the title) so that actually isn't so surprising. His delivery is still fantastic though. :D

@GenocideLv 9 месяцев назад

from an analytical standpoint the answer is simple at 3 a.m. not everybody has gone to sleep yet at 5 a.m. some people start getting up, especially the older ppl so 4 a.m. is simply the middle ground where the least % of people are awake

I see a lot of mixed comments. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. I think the people pointing out you could cherry pick examples from any time are right but it doesn’t matter. It’s not supposed to be an information talk it’s a performance, it’s supposed to entertain you. Which for me it very much did.

Pause at 4:18 The guy in the audience with the black hair and glasses leaning back looks like he would be thinking "I don't care about all this, they are just stupid coincidences." Well listen they are more than just coincidences, they are VIPs (Very Important Patterns) that actually have significant meaning, more coincidental than just running into someone you know at the store. Sit up and pay attention to Rives he works hard for this !

Fun fact: Hour of the Wolf is the time at about 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 and that's when the body's activity is at its lowest. If you're awake during this time it is also the time of day you feel like the worst, regardless of how much sleep you got. This is also the time most of the humans are being born or dies.
