Living on after the legacy of SCF - Doug Robinson, Cameron Keym, Sal Mignano, and Joseph Zizzo continue to develop and write music that we now know and love.
With a drastic change from the hardcore scene, the Sleeping is now considered to be post-hardcore/Rock/Alternative, and has played with bands such as Fightstar, Halifax, Silverstein, Bayside, Stretch Armstrong, Spitalfield and Haste the Day.
On August 6, 2008 the band announced that after 6 months of auditioning for a new pianist/guitarist to replace Cameron Keym, they had recruited Paul Cadena (Guitar) and Christopher Evans (Keyboards/Synths), the newest members of The Sleeping.
The band proceeded to tour across the East Coast and Midwest US with Envy On The Coast and Secret Lives of the Freemasons.
On February 17, 2009, new album What It Takes was released.

As a person who is a struggling student (not even in the military haha), I've spent months where my overall total hours of sleep per night would range between 3 and 5 hours. In grade 11, for my first sem, I had chemistry, bio and a 2 period coop in the morning at a pharmacy
For bio and the coop, I essentially threw them to the side, I remember nothing of bio and my experience at the pharmacy (as the days went by) felt like I was trying to swim in a stormy ocean
It was horrible, for the first week I felt fine, maybe a little bit under the weather, but as the days strung by I started to depend on caffeine like crazy (hey, it was all I had), I'd chug a redbull in the morning as soon as I woke up, slug through my homework (just to finish it, I didn't even care if it was done well), eat breakfast and walk to school, come lunch I would chug another energy drink and work through the newly given work I had gotten
When I came home, I normally worked out, but because of the work and how fucking tired I was, my marked work took precedence over a workout
I went insane, I stopped talking to anybody that wasn't related to schoolwork, I threw up very frequently, felt dizzy and had a pounding headache throughout the day (which I tried to block out with painkillers, but it triggered acid reflex a lot, making me throw up even more)
If I pulled an all nighter, I would go to a cafe and get a couple shots of espresso, chug them, then slug through my work again in hopes that I could get ahead enough that I could get some kind of jump on the next day's work (thankfully the teacher worked linearly through the textbook). Of course I hardly did and although it did let me sleep properly that one night, all the shit I felt was amplified tenfold, resulting in me getting behind on work (cause, y'know, it's hard to pay attention and understand what was going on when your head feels like it's splitting)
I eventually broke down a week before winter break, just crying, screaming and laughing and took a couple weeks off of school only to be thrown through the cycle (although without caffeine) again to finish up the semester, I understood next to nothing of what my teacher would say 99% of the time (as in, I didn't know if she was saying words or making noises that were familiar to me), my head swam like a mofo and my mark went from a 59% to a 68%
All of that just to go up 9%, fucking chemistry
I have to take it again, but I've been trying to find ways to prevent the same thing from happening again (online school, studying way before school starts via hand me down textbooks, etc.)
Get some fucking sleep, cause shit gets so fucked when you don't

Jocko would be the first to probably agree with these guys when it comes to sleep. He gets the amount he needs and tells others to do the same. He wakes up early because he likes to work out, surf, run his business, podcast, train BJJ, etc. When you have a lot to do, you need a lot of time so he wakes up early and that works for him. Some people don’t need to and probably shouldn’t wake up at 4:30AM especially if they aren’t getting to bed until midnight.
Personally, I like getting up early and feel good when I do but I’m also lazy and like to sleep. Either way; so long as the mission is getting accomplished and my health isn’t being compromised because of it- we’re good to go. Good video.
The thumbnail was definitely click bait for the Jocko fan boys including myself but after much consideration, I don’t think he would hate on this video other than the thumbnail caption. Also, let’s face it- some people do care what time Jocko wakes up because it gives them a sense of responsibility. When they see Jocko up taking care of business, they want to do the same.

Doug - very obvious this wasn't scripted and you were speaking from the heart. Takes a lot of strength to be vulnerable. We appreciate you leading us there.

Great video. 25 yrs and still serving. I can tell you suicide has crossed me mind more times then I care to count. Went through all the issues. Had a wake up call when my daughter saw me severely upset and the words daddy you will be ok. From that day I made daily changes to where now I am free of any harmful thoughts. I train 7 days aweek. Yes balls to the wall. And that has been my life line. I sleep a good 8 hrs. Life is 100 percent better. And one thing I do for my soldiers is ensure they call me anytime any day if they need help. Big thing for me was being able to learn to turn the switch off. Deload per say. And doing the type of training I do really helps deload.Rid the mind of those thoughts. And I ensure my soldiers find an outlet weather be the gym playing chess Idc I instill in them to find that log it and we talk about it. I can tell many stories as you have lived too. But thank for this video.

Thanks for sharing your personal stories and troubles relating to these issues. It takes. A brave man to open speak about those issues and always great for those that suffer in silence to hear they aren’t the only ones carrying that dark weight.
Derrick Ross
Thank you for sharing this information!!! I had to learn lots of the info here from my transition into retirement after getting blown up. It has been extremely helpful and I've tried to share some of this info with as many as I can. Thanks a ton for sharing!! 🤙🏽

Excellent video. It’s takes more courage to be open, honest, and vulnerable about real world problems we face than to be “hardcore” and hide your problems.
Jonathan Hunt
Really needed to hear this. I'm really glad I found you guys, you're helping me change my life. Thank you
David Cubillos
Great video! Glad to see them discuss issues Soldier's struggle with!

I followed the Jocko thing for almost a year, getting up at 4:30 and working out. I ended up being tired all day. I have done my workouts in the evening from about 8 to 9:30 PM range for about 40 years now. That's my best time. Sleep by 11 PM, up at 5 to 5:30.
