Pretty much all my life, I've never been somebody who wakes up early and now I went off alone on a big step in my journey, on my path, which was to move out of home.

私はこれまでずっと、早起きするような人間ではなかった。そして今、家を出るという、私の旅、私の道における大きな一歩を一人で踏み出した。

I moved to a big city and now I'm pretty much independent, right?

大都会に引っ越してきて、今はかなり自立しているでしょう？

I still have to get an apartment though, but...

まだアパートを借りなければならないが...。

And the thing is, I have become somebody who likes to wake up early.

それに、私は早起きが好きな人間になった。

Yesterday I started work at 10 in the morning.

昨日は朝10時から仕事をした。

So you would think, okay, you know, take your time.

だから、まあ、ゆっくりしていけばいいと思うだろう。

I mean, this is what I would have done.

つまり、私ならこうする。

I would have, like back to who I've always been, I would have gone back and like stayed up till, I don't know, God knows when, probably watch a movie or something, maybe even play some video games, I don't know, play some Counter-Strike and just take my time with it.

僕だったら、いつもの自分に戻って、いつまで起きていたかわからないけど、映画でも見て、ビデオゲームでもやって、カウンターストライクでもやって、ゆっくりしていただろうね。

Because I like the night, I like staying up late because everybody's asleep already and it's peaceful and I get it.

夜が好きだし、夜更かしが好きなんだ。みんなもう寝ているし、平和だし、分かるよ。

And even if I wouldn't have stayed up that late, I would have at least slept till eight or nine and not even that long ago, this is like a month ago, I would wake up 30 minutes before work.

そんなに遅くまで起きていなかったとしても、少なくとも8時か9時まで寝ていただろうし、そんなに昔でもない、これは1ヶ月くらい前の話だけど、仕事の30分前には目が覚めていた。

So I just had to get ready and then I would go straight into my shift and then, you know, I'd be done with it.

だから支度をして、そのままシフトに入って、それで終わりだった。

Yet, now I'm waking up and it sounds so petty or so flamboyant, no, it doesn't matter.

でも、今、目が覚めたら、それがとても些細なことに聞こえたり、派手に聞こえたり、いや、そんなことはどうでもよくなっている。

I'm waking up at five thirty in the morning now, pretty much every day, at least I'm trying to.

今は毎日、朝5時半に起きるようにしている。

And even today, I mean, I was out, I was out today, like last night, you know, there was this party from work and stuff and I was out and about, you know, I had a few drinks, which is great.

今日だって、昨日の夜と同じように、職場の飲み会があって、外に出かけたんだ。

I believe everything in moderation is cool.

私は何事もほどほどがクールだと信じている。

Even though, I mean, I wrote down today, maybe I might quit alcohol for good, but who knows?

今日も書いたけど、もしかしたら永久に禁酒するかもしれない。

I'll see that still.

まだ見るよ。

And, you know, I've been up since five, five twenty ish.

それでね、5時か5時20分くらいから起きていたんだ。

Yesterday I did that, even though I had work and I did not want to go to work like at all, you know, I didn't want to wake up at all and I didn't, I hadn't been sleeping very well, like I didn't sleep.

昨日は仕事があったにもかかわらず、仕事に行きたくなかったんだ。

I had nightmares and stuff.

悪夢を見たりもした。

So my, unfortunately, my sleep was like bad.

だから、残念ながら、僕の睡眠はまるでダメだった。

And I still went to the gym, still did my laundry and all that stuff.

それでもジムには通っていたし、洗濯もした。

I just, I don't know.

ただ、わからないんだ。

It feels like it does give you more time, you know, because sure, I mean, I can wake up late and go to sleep late, but like the rest of the world, like we do have, like the humans, if we were just outside, right, because we are, I mean, we are one with nature.

確かに、遅く起きて、遅く寝ることはできるけど、世界の他の人たちと同じように、人間も、もし外にいれば、自然と一体化するんだ。

It's nothing, we can't, there's nothing that can divide you from nature, right?

自然からあなたを切り離すことはできない。

You are, you're a fucking, you're an animal, we're an animal, we're mammals, right?

君はクソだ、君は動物だ、僕らは動物だ、僕らは哺乳類だろ？

Anyhow, in nature, you would wake up around the same time, five thirty, or at least when the sun would rise, as well as go to sleep when the sun would go down.

いずれにせよ、自然界では同じ時間、5時半、少なくとも太陽が昇る頃に目が覚め、太陽が沈む頃に眠りにつく。

There was this quote that I read, it was about drinking the water that the deer drinks, going to sleep with the, with the birds and waking up with the, I think it was a different animal, I think it was the other way around, waking up with the birds or something, because the early, I mean, we've always heard this, the early bird gets the prey or something, right?

鹿が飲む水を飲み、鳥と一緒に眠り、鳥と一緒に目覚めるというものだった。

So, I don't know, it sounds very cliche, perhaps, yet I do find that waking up early, it has given me some sort of power, some sort of control where I feel like, okay, look at me, I'm actually doing this.

でも、早起きすることで、ある種のパワーが生まれ、ある種のコントロールができるようになった。

I feel very accomplished, because I, and I feel more than anything, the biggest reason I do it is because I am so peaceful, because I have time, I've got time for myself.

私はとても達成感を感じている。何よりも、私がこの仕事をする最大の理由は、とても平和で、自分のための時間があるからだ。

I don't need to rush, okay, I need to work at ten in the morning, I just woke up at five thirty, I got time, even if I don't get anything done, which I do, even if I don't get anything done, I get to relax, because, you know, I saw this thing the other day, I don't really know where it was, but I saw this, and I was like, man, yeah, it was about what are blessings, or the greatest blessings in life, and one of them are, was, one of them was a slow morning, and that was just so profound to me, a slow morning, just taking your time, not having to rush, and feeling already stressed out, even though you've just woken up.

たとえ何もできなくても、たとえ何もできなくても、リラックスできるんだ、そのひとつが、ゆっくりした朝だった。ゆっくりした朝は、ただゆっくりするだけで、急ぐ必要もないし、起きたばかりなのに、すでにストレスが溜まっているように感じる。

I also went outside that day, I made it, actually, so, yesterday, this is what I did, I went to the gym, I did my laundry, I meditated, I prayed, that was all in the morning, and it was just peaceful, it was great, yeah, obviously, I had breakfast and all that, yeah, you know, I think I might take a nap today, because, you know, my sleep schedule, I do have to get some, a little bit of sleep, but, you know, there are three main things in life that are really bad for you, so you need to be careful with them.

昨日は、ジムに行って、洗濯して、瞑想して、お祈りした、今日は昼寝をしようかな。睡眠スケジュールがあるから、少しは寝ないといけないんだけど、人生には本当に体に悪いことが主に3つあるんだ。

First one is alcohol, alcohol, we all know it's fucking terrible for you, smoking, I don't really think I need to get into why, alcohol, I don't remember why, I just, there's a lot of people out there, Rich Roll, Rich Roll, Andrew Huberman, I mean, those are at least two influences from, that I really, you know, they know their shit, at least, Andrew Huberman, most of all, when it comes to like, the signs aspect, and Rich Roll is someone who's sober, as well as, actually the, Mark Manson, the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, he also quit alcohol, so, you know, I'm thinking like, oh, at least if you don't believe me, or, you know, the common sense, these people, that's their job, you know, I don't know why I'm pointing towards them, because, you know, I don't think I need to explain why alcohol is bad, it's just terrible for you.

まず1つはアルコール、アルコールは体に最悪なのはみんな知ってる、喫煙も、なぜかは説明する必要はないと思う、アルコールは、なぜかは覚えてない、ただ、たくさんの人がいる、リッチ・ロール、リッチ・ロール、アンドリュー・ヒューバーマン、この2人は少なくとも僕が影響を受けた人たちだ、彼らは本当によく知ってる、少なくとも、アンドリュー・ヒューバーマンは、兆候のようなことに関しては、最もよく知ってる、リッチ・ロールは禁酒している人だし、マーク・マンソンも、『The Subtle Art of Not Giving a

Then number two, which is probably the biggest and easiest to fuck up, it's sleep.

そして2つ目は、おそらく最も大きく、最も失敗しやすい睡眠だ。

So I've been starting to take my sleep very fucking seriously, and honestly, I, in my tracker, which I will show you, here we go, so, if you go, this is my tracker, right, so in here, I write down, so this is a template that I got from a YouTube video, I'll link it down below, that you can copy that, it's just, you know, you just gotta use the tools, you can find anything, you know, just make it work for you, and you can find any tools online nowadays, there is no excuse, seriously, and I mean, I always hear that, I'm just like, fuck you, man, like, stop being so annoying, but like, I don't know, it's true, here we go, so this is my tracker, and here you got one column that's sleep, right, and so I was, all these, these are all nights that I slept eight hours, and honestly, I was like, fucking, like, I was feeling amazing, and then the days that I didn't sleep, which are a few now, dude, I was fucked, like, that was just like, I was fucking dead, fucked, I feel fucked, like, I feel completely shitty, there's like, so many parts, there's this, you need to go and watch this TED talk, that is about sleep, you will never think of sleep the same ever again, so we have alcohol, we've got sleep, and then there was the third one, which was, I'm thinking about pornography, but that's not, you know, it's not the one that I mentioned today, sugar, I'm struggling so hard these days, with not eating sugar, or at least keeping my hands off of sweet pastry and things like that, it's terrible, it's fucking, it's so annoying, because we have, I work, you know, I'm a head barista, and we have pastries, of course, and you know, you kind of get hungry when you're standing eight hours a day, you know, and I shit you not, for the past, like, what, a week, I think, maybe not a week, but I've pretty much been just every single day eating something sweet, like a pain au chocolat, I don't know how to pronounce it very perfectly, I'm still working on it, a chocolate croissant, so to speak, a fucking Berliner, you know, these, a berliner, these are like donuts filled with jam, or a fucking cookie, or a muffin, or like anything, a brownie, you know, and it's like, fuck, dude, I always think to myself, man, I shouldn't be doing this, and I fucking do it, and it's like, fuck, you know, fuck, I had a friend say, like, yeah, okay, I would always choose fruit over sweets, but if you, if you put me, like, a jar of fruits and the fucking sweet, they're like, it's a hard decision, and yeah, and I think we need to, I want to, I think life is really about, you know, finding that sweet spot of, like, okay, I always go for the fruit bowl, you know, I always eat the fruit, I never go for the sweet, right, and look at me eating salad right now, I would never eat salads, like, months ago, like, never, it's crazy how much progress I've made just for myself, anyhow, dude, I've really put my head down, I mean, I really am in that, where I'm putting my head down and just working, because I'm not posting a lot of shit about this, the only thing I'm posting about is, like, my journaling and my playing, that's fucking nuts, oh my god, well, fuck me, so, what was I saying again, yeah, I think in life, we need to, especially nowadays, because we have so many options, right, we should try to choose the right thing for you, right, but obviously, if the right thing for you is the cupcake, then you're not looking for the right thing, but I mean, like, what's the right thing for you, it's like, okay, and what's your sport, right, or what's your exercise type, it doesn't have to be the gym, it can be something else, I mean, I would obviously always recommend you lift some weights, right, but it doesn't have to be, or at least the sport, we should all play a sport, maybe, football, or you can do some tennis, or table tennis, those are actually really fucking good for you, because it activates a certain part in your brain, the eye, the eye, hands, coordination, what the fuck is it called, the coordination, at least, it activates, you know, it has the most amount of neurons in the brain, it's a part in the back, underneath, anyhow, you get to choose which sport you want to do, right, so anyhow, going back, in life, we need to choose what is the right thing for you, what's the right thing, and then, every now and then, when you feel like you deserve to go for the muffin, when you feel like, okay, I am in control here, I'm gonna go for the muffin, because you know, sometimes, you actually have to fight for yourself, I've come to the point where I need to fight myself to go out, I need to fight myself to have a muffin, to be spontaneous, because I can go too far, I can try to become too rigid, because I'm just, I'm scared, I'm scared of the, I'm scared of what could be, and I'm not present, I'm not saying, I'm not trusting, I'm scared of the future, I hang around too much in the past, so, to end the circle here for this video, I would say, watch for those three things, you know, and your actual step after watching this video, to me, would be, go and have a walk, go outside and just have a walk, and don't, don't make it this thing of like, oh, I'm gonna get amazing results out of this, don't be conscious about how am I feeling, how am I feeling, just go have a walk, you'll thank me later, you'll thank yourself later, actually, so, yeah, have a good one.

だから僕は、睡眠をクソ真面目に取り始めたんだ。正直なところ、僕のトラッカーに書いてあるんだけど、これを見てもらえばわかると思う、どんなものでも見つかるし、自分に合ったものを作ればいいし、今時どんなツールでもネットで見つかる、だから、これは全部、8時間寝た夜なんだけど、正直、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、すげぇ、睡眠についてのTEDトークは、二度と同じよう
