Yoga Influencer's 'Morning Routine' Video Requires Waking Up at Time That Doesn't Exist

Yoga and wellness influencer Soleil Daybreak has posted a 'My Morning Routine' video to her 2.3 million followers that begins at 2:45 AM and includes a sequence of activities so extensive that mathematicians have confirmed it cannot be completed before the heat death of the universe.

'I start with 20 minutes of oil pulling,' Daybreak narrates over footage of herself swishing coconut oil in a kitchen illuminated by the kind of light that suggests even the sun hasn't agreed to this timeline. 'Then 30 minutes of pranayama, followed by 108 sun salutations — which I do in complete darkness because the sun isn't up yet, so they're more like void salutations.'

The routine continues with dry brushing, tongue scraping, a cold plunge in a copper tub, 40 minutes of silent meditation, gratitude journaling for 'things that haven't happened yet but which I'm manifesting,' a green juice containing seventeen ingredients, and what Daybreak describes as 'a 20-minute conversation with my houseplants about their emotional needs.'

'By 6 AM, I've already completed my morning practice and I'm ready to start my day,' Daybreak says in the video, which commenters note would require waking up at 2:45 AM and somehow compressing four hours of activities into three hours and fifteen minutes.

'I tried following this routine,' wrote one commenter. 'I set my alarm for 2:45 AM. My alarm went off and I experienced what I can only describe as an existential rejection of the premise. My body refused.'

Another wrote: '2:45 AM isn't morning. That's still last night. She's doing a LAST NIGHT routine.'

Daybreak has responded to criticism by posting a follow-up video titled 'My Evening Wind-Down Routine,' which begins at 4 PM.
