Living in the Philippines has been an amazing experience—but it’s also completely flipped my sleep schedule upside down 😅
In this video, I talk about how easy it is to get your days and nights mixed up as an American expat in the Philippines, especially when you’re editing YouTube videos late at night, dealing with slow internet, and occasional power outages. The time difference alone can throw off your body clock, but add content creation and unreliable utilities, and suddenly you’re wide awake at 3 AM.
This is the side of expat life in the Philippines that people don’t always talk about—working online, staying productive, and adjusting to a totally different rhythm of life. If you’re thinking about moving to the Philippines, living abroad, or becoming a digital nomad or YouTuber overseas, this video gives you a real look at what daily life can be like.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve experienced this too—or if you have tips for fixing a broken sleep schedule while living abroad!
