The latest fixation is rolling out of bed right into a quick routine of 50 little jumps. It began in July 2025 when creator Kathryn Smith introduced the morning hack on TikTok, garnering nearly half a million likes. In 2026, it had spread across social media platforms gaining momentum.

Its appeal very evidently lies in its simplicity: no equipment, no serious time commitment, coupled with what sounds like a very generous payoff.
