I read that successful people wake up early, you wake up early so something doesn’t quite add up here
Waking up at 4.30am is seriously hardcore
Yea, waking up at 4.30am is bonkers
You only got into waking up when you were older, so that explains why you did sh!t at school

RnR Grammar
In today’s show, when Dan the Man was talking about how he used to wake up at 4.30am, I asked him what his tactic was to wake up at that time and he replied:
“I would go to bed 6 hours and 15 minutes before I wanted to wake up”
Notice here how we use ‘would’ for a REPEATED PAST ACTION. It would be the same to write:
“I used to go to bed 6 hours and 15 minutes before I wanted to wake up”
This can be used interchangeably, EXCEPT when it is a STATE VERB (like “know”, “like” etc.).
That’s some serious stuff! ?
