English: Does comedian Chris McCausland use this weird method to wake up? | Would I Lie to You? - BBC

0:00:00: All these years, I have been pretending to be blind.

0:00:03: LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:00:07: If only. Lee, would you read that for me, please?

0:00:11: Every night, I use an unusual technique

0:00:14: to make sure I wake up on time in the morning.

0:00:17: Ooh.

0:00:18: All right, David's team. OK, so, what is the unusual technique?

0:00:23: The usual way of making sure you wake up in the morning

0:00:27: at the right time would be to set an alarm clock.

0:00:30: Yes. Yes. I've heard of that.

0:00:32: OK, so... So, and you do something different.

0:00:35: Well, we don't need to know what. I think it will go true.

0:00:39: What I've done is I have trained my brain to wake itself up...

0:00:45: No, you haven't. ..at the right time.

0:00:48: By doing what?

0:00:50: When I'm lying in bed, I will bang out the time on the pillow

0:00:54: with my head... Right.

0:00:56: ..saying the hours for the time that I want to wake up.

0:01:00: Yeah. And that subconsciously programs the time...

0:01:04: Chris? Yes? Are you all right?

0:01:10: And how accurate is this?

0:01:12: 50-50.

0:01:16: Where did this idea come to you from?

0:01:18: I read it in a book.

0:01:21: LAUGHTER

0:01:23: What was the name of the book?

0:01:25: The book was called Last Man Standing.

0:01:27: It was a fictional book, David.

0:01:29: It was a fictional book from which you were taking lifestyle tips.

0:01:33: Well, do you know when you read something

0:01:35: and it sticks in your head as an idea to try?

0:01:37: This may help you, David.

0:01:39: Give us a demonstration, if you would,

0:01:42: of the severity of the headbang.

0:01:44: You're settling down at the end of the night.

0:01:46: OK, Lee, I'm going to turn around a bit and use you as a pillow.

0:01:49: All right. So, I'm in bed. Put my arm there, yeah.

0:01:52: Oh, me pillow's firmer than that.

0:01:57: So, I want to get up at 7.30 in the morning,

0:01:59: so I'm like, I go, one o'clock, two o'clock,

0:02:03: three o'clock, four o'clock, five o'clock,

0:02:06: six o'clock, seven o'clock,

0:02:08: and if I want to get up at 7.30, I go, 7.30.

0:02:13: APPLAUSE

0:02:20: Chris, I don't know whether you've got a partner or a wife

0:02:23: or somebody who shares the bed with you.

0:02:25: He used to have a wife, he headbutted her to death.

0:02:29: Is there anybody else in the bed with you, Chris?

0:02:31: So, I mean, I tour a lot.

0:02:34: So, some nights, yes, some nights, no.

0:02:39: I tour a lot, I'm away a lot,

0:02:41: but when I'm at home, I do have a wife.

0:02:43: I mean, I have a wife all the time.

0:02:49: What are you thinking, David's team? Alex, what do you think?

0:02:52: Oh, it's so unbelievable, it's believable.

0:02:54: Yeah, and also, I do think that if you tell yourself

0:02:57: you need to wake up at a certain time,

0:02:59: the chances of waking up then are higher than you'd think.

0:03:02: It's not totally random.

0:03:03: Well, let's give it a go tonight. Yeah.

0:03:05: I didn't realise...

0:03:06: You make it sound as if you're sharing a bed.

0:03:10: So, I think you're saying it's true.

0:03:12: Well, are we happy to say true?

0:03:14: Yeah, I think we're going to go with true.

0:03:16: Alex, they think you were telling the truth.

0:03:18: Were you, or was it a lie?

0:03:20: Everyone will be trying it tonight, it's true.

0:03:22: Yes!
