You are broken and your question was answered in the first three minutes of the video. It's a habit you've developed and now it's a vicious cycle because less sleep means less ability to consider alternate solutions to problems. Assuming you're not joking lol
sleep is so important. Don't understand why medical school purposely cause students to lose sleep. Same with Engineering school, they act like "bah.... sleep, you don't need it...."
That's my secret. Most of the other students are smarter/better at this than I am, but when they're sleep deprived and I'm well rested, I have an edge. Also, big naps. If you can fit that 1.5h anytime when you don't have class, you win. Anytime you can fit about 20 mins, you do it. That, and exercise + decently healthy diet.
Because it's a form of bootcamp. Medical school has to brainwash the students to accept its authority - no room for questioning. Also why "pimping" is an important part of it too - the fear keeps the students in check. The ones who are too independent and ask questions are more likely to get filtered out. The system requires absolute obedience.
Watching this at 2am begs the question do I carry on watching this video thus losing sleep or quit the video to sleep and miss out information on why sleeps important
Theres always begging the answer...watch it the next day and get to sleep. I know, you can't. If you could sleep you wouldnt be up and since your insomniac you'll watch something boring hoping like this video hoping with it you'll fall asleep?
Happy Elf you have to come up with a scedual and follow it. Unless your in night school and day school you really shouldn't be feeling the way you are. Sleep is so important. I really hope you get it figured out. My children are in school and they get their sleep and have time to study and time for fun, hobbies and exercise. Work on it :) .... I do understand what you're saying tho.Especially if your in college or university is can be difficult ...and more so if your on campus or have a roommate. xo
Bump it, if i feel sleepy and i need to go to sleep, unless it is a project, i go to sleep. I just did it with my homework just a couple of minutes ago, i felt sleepy stopped my homework and got ready for bed but saw this video on my phone so i watched it.
I saw another video, I think on TED talk about the importance of exercise for the brain. It helps you prepare better for exams. So, now my goal is to sleep better and exercise. So sad how we neglect our bodies from what makes them function well.
Yeah, forgoing sleep and excercise is, sadly, the first thing we do when we're in a hurry. And even when we aren't, our current consumerist culture easily talks us into thinking that just one more episode of this show is more important than sleep and hey, that one extra hour of videogames will help you unwind much better after a workday than going to bed early. I don't even want to start on exercise - "you want me to raise my butt from this comfortable chair to do WHAT?!"
@Kyle Wilhelmsen this describes me pretty accurately..when I went away for college I didn't know how to manage my own time because I was on my own for the first time. I would end up going to sleep at 3 am due to staying up watching random crap on the internet.
I work overnights, my entire house is blacked out during the day with blinds, my neighbours probably think I am a drug dealer and or vampire at this stage. My bedroom has blinds, then thick blackout curtains, I am going to install a third layer of a retractable window awning also you will be surprised how much light fucks with your sleep even a little LED on an appliance. Also get rid of clocks in your bedroom seeing what time it is can prevent you from sleeping if you get anxious about sleep.
I think I may have that genetic mutation mentioned on the video. When I sleep more than 8 hours, I feel more lazy, more sensible to emotional response and less smart. When I sleep 4 to 8 hours, i feel hyperactive and productive. I got all the best insights of my life when i lacked of sleep.
You don't need any mutation to feel hyperactive when deprived of sleep The body produces way more hormones to mantain you alert. In nature if you were under-sleeped would be due an extreme emergency
Just set your alarm for a reasonable time and go to bed early enough so you are likely to wake up naturally before your alarm. I work overnights so I need to wake up by 21:00 in order to make it to work in time. But I go to bed around 9-10 that's 11 hours of sleep if I slept right up to my alarm. I normally wake up at 19:00 - 20:00 prior to my alarm and when I do I use this time for relaxation and light excercise. It also helps me sleep knowing if I cannot get to sleep quickly, or my sleep quality is crap I can get an extra hour or two of sleep without anxiety.
I avoid using mine, I can't sleep continuously and have nightmares, I can't wake up from my nightmares unless I hear a noise from the real world or if someone notices and wakes me up, so I don't feel inclined to go straight back to sleep until I've spent at least 30min awake so I don't get stuck in a continuation of the same dream again
3:25 "So you can gain insight when you don't even know there was an insight to find when you sleep on it". Makes me think of the intricate relatedness and immeasurable capacity of the subconscious mind to store and process all sorts of input data, coming up with startling new and creative ideas to previously unimaginable by the limited conscious mind. The power of associating multiple seemingly unrelated ideas is ultimately the hallmark of the creative process. In fact, I suspect that not only lack of sleep stands for the number one cause of most societal problems today, but also an interesting correlation between sleep hours and creativity in general, the ability to think outside the box and behave accordingly. I have always had a feeling there is a strong connection between memory consolidation and hormone regulation, of course all happening during non-REM deep-sleep phase. The jump from short-term memory to long-term memory may very well indicate a strong possibility for higher levels of mental relaxation thus leading to better and more fluid lateral-thinking capabilities (alpha-delta brainwaves/state of flow).
lmao nah his mic is fine too, he needs to upload more often but i guess a man can only have so many anecdotal experiences to critically analyse and draw empirical conclusions from eh? :D
It would be an interesting topic. No Fap Vs Fap Vs Sex. I know some people who will refuse sex for quite a few days leading up to an athletic event, they think it improves their athletic performance and endurance. True or placebo?
I got premature white hairs on my beard and head, because for two years I was having sleep problems. As soon as I started sleeping better the white hairs stopped popping up. I'm hoping they will go back to being their original color but that will more then likely not happen. Oh sleep...so unimportant at times but very important in the long run.
David Copperfield. you know, I was also heavily involved in porn back then and I was also masturbating a lot. You could be right about that. I have now stopped watching porn and rarely watch it. It was messing with my everyday drive and motivation to get things done. How do I know this? Because once I stopped, I was more driven and focused on things and projects that I needed to do, and I would actually get out of bed with a need to get things done. It's insane how masturbating n porn can affect a man's body n brain. I'm glad the nofap movement exists.
I actually ment all sort of ejaculation, while having sex too. In deed, while masturbating it seems that one does it oftener than with sex, yet it's the ejaculation itself, the loosing of a very essential liquid that bring for exemple white hair. Did you know that to produce 50g of sperm the body takes the same amount of effort as to produce a pound of blood ? so basically every man who is ejaculating a few times a day is a permanent high-amount blood donner !! if you get into personal relationships with older men 40-60 and talk to them, you will find out that those who still have their hair colour are those who really have sex really rare ( once a month, once in two monts ) which is "normal" for that age, they will also seem much more active, having more endurance and so... while those with white hair, if you can get it out of them, are very much probable to masturbate at least a few times a week, which is already a lot for that age.
I remember when I was first learning to play guitar, one night I spent hours trying to play a particular riff, but I just couldn't get it. I went to bed and tried again first thing in the morning, and I could play the riff flawlessly every time. Sleeping definitely helps to develop your brain when learning to things.
Part of the reason babies need so much sleep - memory consolidation (learning, development). If you are into self improvemen, dont slack on your zzz's 🙏
5:08 Does this mean when we're in non-REM sleep we actually experience random images flashing in front of us and just don't remember? I'm so fascinated by what goes on in our brain while we're asleep but not dreaming and more importantly what we actually consciously experience.
The last year i slept 5 hours every night when i was lucky. Had to get up at 4am because of my work and after the workday i had to visit a very ill family member at the hospital. My day started 4am and ended 23pm for almost a whole year (on weekends i catched up some sleep hours) - every hour of this year i felt also very stressed because i was worried about my family member. What i can say about this time: My concentration, reaction, memory and mood went down big time. It's like i dumbed down - before i was like the very old "The Simpsons" - Episodes, but now i am like the newer episodes. It's sad!^^ I have more free time now and i can sleep more hours (try to get 7hours), but the effect is still here. Thankfully my mood is better, but the concentration and memory-thing is very annoying. I can't remember my dreams anymore -.- I hope i can "reverse" those effects in the next months with more sleep, sports, better diet and meditation. I also started with 5min cold showers in the morning to work on my self discipline 2 weeks ago. I'm looking forward to your next video. You are doing a great job :) PS: You ever thought about making a video about the effects of Vitamin D ?
I suffered similar symptoms after the most stressfull months at university two years ago. Two months with 4 hours of spleep, I had to train because I play in a competitive level, and I had to prepare many finals at the same time. It took me three weeks to get normal again. The first recovery week, I would sleep from 11 pm to 5.30, I couldnt avoid waking up; then I would have a nap at 3pm, but as soon as the night fell I would feel sick and useless again. I lost 6 kilos during that stressfull time. It was awfull.
try keeping a dream journal if you're worried about not remembering your dreams. even if you just remember a few moments of a dream, writing them down helps you recall dreams in future :)
Again, thank you for putting time into this channel and your videos. I frequently check to see if your channel has a new upload and am always excited for the next one.
I think sleep is the most important activity for people Because sleep is controling our feelings and helping us to adjust to a given situation Also sleep makes us feel better when we do other activities
Usually these kind of videos are absolute popular science garbage. But your videos are good! It seems like you have read the papers and understood what they were about. Props from a neuroscience PhD
No! Most pro-athletes sleep way more than 8 hours a day. Roger Federer constantly sleeps more than 10 hours a day, with his target being 12! (and he is the GOAT) so obviously you have some untapped potential you didn't realise yet thanks to your excessive sleeping! ;)
there is a study showing people who get 6 hours of sleep have a lower overall mortality rate than 8 hours, i believe 7 was the optimal but someone can check that
What I've Learned Like 10 to 12 hours but I wake up many times during the night. Like I sleep nice and tight for 4 hours then I wake up, look at the roof for 5 min then I sleep for 4 hours again and so on.
Thank you for bringing this up. I'm a neurobiology student, currently doing my Master's at Chronobiology Department and I find everything connected to internal rythms endlessly fascinating. Also, sleep is such and overlooked topic, it blows my mind that the society takes things like night shifts, all-night parties and abuse of stimulants so lightly - quite possibly because sheer lack of awareness of the long-term consequences. But who can blame them - up until just recently being sleep deprived was a rare event and the data showing the real dangers of ot is just accumulating. Connecting this to another big topic on your channel - have you heard about time-restriced feeding? Check out Dr. Stachin Panda. Not long ago he was a guest on Found My Fitness podcast (which is also a channel here on YT, which I can highly recommend). I'd like to thank you for these viseos. So far you've covered only the topics which I'm really passionate about myself. I'm glad I found a channel where I can send interested people to - sending actual articles to folks not connected to science (and usually not native english speakers as well) rarely resulted in them reading those, even if they were the ones who asked for them. Even a relatively straightforward podcast can be off-putting to a layperson. And most of the short videos I found were either waaaay oversimplified, sometimes even not correct factually, or just not appealing. Your videos have it all. Keep it up! I'm sure your channel will grow fast.
Wow. I thought you had millions of subscribers. Your channel is totally worth millions of subscribers. Thank you for your videos man, absolutely love them.
its just a habit. you need to reset your circadian rythm by waking uo early, always at the same time, and immedialetly looking at the bright sky after you wake up. after two weeks, yuo wont be a night owl anymore. and stay off that caffeine!
@@username-yn5yo No it's not! I've tried changing my rhythm, believe me and I've hated every minute! Hated it! I was always tired all morning and all day and really awake and alert in the evening, even after a long time of trying. It just didn't work.
Several years ago I had to travel for training in a new highly technical job performing lithotripsy. The days were long and hard so even if you took notes each day there was no time to study, and you were too tired anyway. Right away the second day I noticed I was doing everything a lot better than I had the day before. I even said something to my trainer about how funny it is, its as if I had more practice even though there was no time all I did was sleep. I'll never forget, he said, "Its always like that."
I have found that uncomfortable dreams (mild nightmares) are generally when I think about something for less than a second. Kinda like my brain saying "soooo about that one thought earlier..."
i can't thank you enough, literally a few minutes of my life changed my mindset completely. like the video you posted about excersise completely changed the way i see sports. this channel is the most informative i've seen in all my life. i have no doubts that you will reach 1kk subs eventually if you keep doing this. thank you.
Great informative Video. Really outstanding approach to this topic, great video effects (Matrix monitor writing) and of course useful knowledge. Thank for your effort in making it.
So how did you get over your sleep anxiety? Now im feeling really anxious about my sleep. I fall asleep ok, but wake up after 4-5 hours and have a difficult time going back to sleep.
Your body is really good at creating habits and associating certain objects and times with patterns of behavior. If you can lay in your bed (and do nothing else -especially not check your phone) at the same time every night (10PM would be good) and wake up at the same time every morning, your brain will quickly associate 10PM and your bed with sleep and you'll fall asleep faster and faster. -I started making sure to get in my bed 10PM every night, and each night I fell asleep quicker and quicker. Started out taking about 25 minutes, now I fall asleep in about 5 minutes. -I screwed up the schedule to get this video done, and then it was hard to fall asleep again. The next day I was saying "Goddamnit, go to sleep, go to sleep." to myself then I stopped and thought: "You've gotten in bed at the right time, all you can do is lay here and all you have to do is lay here at this same time again tomorrow night and it will get easier." Resigning myself to the fact that there was nothing else I could do other than lay there really helped curb that anxiety and before I knew it it was morning.
What I've Learned I am in bed every day at 9. I have no problem falling asleep. I wake up at 3am though and can't fall back to sleep after that. The longer I lay in bed, the more anxious I feel. I've tried meditating, thinking happy thoughts, reading, the only thing that has helped is Benadryl but that is not a long term solution.
I have watched so many videos on sleep........this is one of the best videos I've seen regarding sleep and its importance. I especially like the part concerning stretching your back which has caused me to wake up several times throughout the night in the past. I just did some stretching and you can bet that I'll be doing that from now on.
You trade sleep for life Ive slept about 1 hour above my class and i passed but every year my grades went down(didnt study) Now im sleeping 8 hours and my grades and great and i barely learn
Your channel is fantastic, seriously. You have a good voice, the images you use to illustrate your points are interesting and most important the information you bring foward is unique and seems well researched. If you continue like this I suspect you'll have one of the biggest information channels on TH-cam in no time
Thank you for posting these videos. I tend to binge on information in a disruptive way, and these videos give me a shortcut to positive, applicable conclusions and practical solutions. I'm less inclined to mistake the discovery for the application when I find them this way as well, which means implementing what I'm learning also becomes easier. I really think you're doing a great service. It may sound like a cop-put, but I'm unable to contribute to your patreon right now. Someday!
Great video! Some of this research I'd come across myself, but I found it very insightful to know exactly how the varied levels of hormones and neurotransmitters affect the body. Very much looking forward to the next video. Sleep quality is definitely something I want to improve upon.
I knew it....I deprived myself of 8 hours, thinking I could adapt to 6 hours maximum and still be the same. I've realized that alot of my life has suffered from this and im now trying to change this and my sleep habits. I mean I know that this isn't the source of all my issues, but it's a big part of it. I am now on a path to recorrect my problems for the sake of myself and my relationship. Thank you so much for this extremely useful information...I thought I was just going through some sort of funk or mid life crisis.
It is my experience that sleep will return your mind/body to homeostatic equilibrium (ie. "conditioning defaults" as I sometimes call it), so for those fellas addicted to something (so the mind is conditioned to frequent substance abuse), sleeping will actually make their urges harder to tolerate, as they try to push to change this equilibrium.
I've gone several days at a time unable to sleep too worked up about work and school. At one point I thought sleep was even a waste of time. Keeping deadlines is what mattered.
DRC 85 it sucks and is a great at the same time, I need. Sleep but staying up very late and being just you and no other annoyances in your way and atmosphere is like an entire new world it’s hard to find a balance
I love your videos! so thanks a ton for your hard work. I just wanted to maybe add a tangent on the this subject to look into. Ive been getting into the ancient yogic sciences of the east, there I came across the idea that unless your extremely physically active most of your sleep needs are related to diet. We know roughly how long it takes our bodies to digest certain foods, cooked meat is somewhere around 50 hours(70 something for uncooked) veggies are like 16ish cooked ( or 12 or something raw) and fruits are like 2-3 hours. Now you can see what happens to food when its sits around for that long in a temperature similar to the inside of your body, decay happens, it also happens in your body while you process it. So if you eat a excessive amount of food in general or far to heavy portions of meat you can have up to 2 days of food in you at a time that is basically rotting. rot is just a large amount of bacterial activity when this happens in your body now a large portion of your bodies energy needs to be directed to quelling this bacterial activity especially when your eating heavily everyday consistently causing a constant backup further slowing the process thats gonna make you very TIRED as basically your normal state so normal you forget notion of feeling any different and probably also depend on caffeine and other stimulant to even simply function a entire day without face planting into insta sleep every 20 min. Id be very interested in your opinion and what you find regarding this thought process, because I used to sleep like 9-11 hours a night and be very very addicted to constant caffeine and pretty much any other stimulant i could get my hands on, because i would actually feel fully functional for once, and my diet was basically straight processed garbage. I made a radical diet change while not completely cutting out meat( never imagined id ever even try because i thought i loved it sooooooo much) heavily reducing it and eating lots more veggies and fruits with lots of peanut butter as my main source of fat and protein. even so it was still a half assed attempted at the diet I was trying, and all of a sudden after a couple days clearing my system and adjusting all of a sudden my natural wake time( no alarm) happened after 5-7 hours usually 6, and I pop out of bed going to full alert awake mode after like 5-10 min instead of being in full zombie mode for like 1-2 hours after waking like i used to be. And even more amazing I just decieded to quite caffiene and stimulants( like adderall) and just tossed them like it was no big deal. This is not some little thing for me at all I tried my damnedest to quite caffiene soo many times but found it literally undoable, I would simply be 2 tired and non functional all the time yet this time it was like deciding to wear different shoes cause the old ones hurt, easy peasy. Anyway sorry for rambling, just thought id salivate your curiosity a bit. Thanks again for your great content and the time you put into it, and have a great day!!
Great video and really helpful that you put part of your source material in the description. I'm looking forward to seen the next video. Keep it up! Thanks!

Did you know that to produce 50g of sperm the body takes the same amount of effort as to produce a pound of blood ? so basically every man who is ejaculating a few times a day is a permanent high-amount blood donner !! if you get into personal relationships with older men 40-60 and talk to them, you will find out that those who still have their hair colour are those who really have sex really rare ( once a month, once in two monts ) which is "normal" for that age, they will also seem much more active, having more endurance and so... while those with white hair, if you can get it out of them, are very much probable to masturbate at least a few times a week, which is already a lot for that age.
David Copperfield. wow, that is very interesting. I didn't know any of this.
ITS JUST SPERM BRO
EVERY SINGLE VIDEO YOU POST NEEDS TO BE VIEWED BY ALL OF HUMANITY. KEEP DOING WHAT UR DOING
I remember when I was first learning to play guitar, one night I spent hours trying to play a particular riff, but I just couldn't get it. I went to bed and tried again first thing in the morning, and I could play the riff flawlessly every time. Sleeping definitely helps to develop your brain when learning to things.
+tomzjamz That's awesome!
This is so true. Sleep is one of the most important factors in holistic health.
Love this channel
Silva Gorilla I was abou to watch this video after 20 hs being awake, but seeing is 14 mins long....
I'll watch it later. Gotta take a nap now...
I need to open up my wallet, if we don't pitch in, this kind gentlemen would eventually stop putting these videos and ideas up!
eh bro bs 7sebe fade xD
franco I’d open up mine but ya see, it’s empty.....
You know you can do your own research for free, right?
Bruh he just told you to sleep. Not very revolutionary.

Part of the reason babies need so much sleep - memory consolidation (learning, development).

Tell me about it
@@WhatIveLearned Omg how are you the only answer
5:08 Does this mean when we're in non-REM sleep we actually experience random images flashing in front of us and just don't remember? I'm so fascinated by what goes on in our brain while we're asleep but not dreaming and more importantly what we actually consciously experience.
Your voice is at the top of my list of things that help me sleep. I've had to pause in the middle of a video and take a nap.
The last year i slept 5 hours every night when i was lucky. Had to get up at 4am because of my work and after the workday i had to visit a very ill family member at the hospital. My day started 4am and ended 23pm for almost a whole year (on weekends i catched up some sleep hours) - every hour of this year i felt also very stressed because i was worried about my family member.
What i can say about this time: My concentration, reaction, memory and mood went down big time. It's like i dumbed down - before i was like the very old "The Simpsons" - Episodes, but now i am like the newer episodes. It's sad!^^
I have more free time now and i can sleep more hours (try to get 7hours), but the effect is still here. Thankfully my mood is better, but the concentration and memory-thing is very annoying. I can't remember my dreams anymore -.-
I hope i can "reverse" those effects in the next months with more sleep, sports, better diet and meditation. I also started with 5min cold showers in the morning to work on my self discipline 2 weeks ago.
I'm looking forward to your next video. You are doing a great job :)
PS: You ever thought about making a video about the effects of Vitamin D ?

I suffered similar symptoms after the most stressfull months at university two years ago. Two months with 4 hours of spleep, I had to train because I play in a competitive level, and I had to prepare many finals at the same time. It took me three weeks to get normal again. The first recovery week, I would sleep from 11 pm to 5.30, I couldnt avoid waking up; then I would have a nap at 3pm, but as soon as the night fell I would feel sick and useless again. I lost 6 kilos during that stressfull time. It was awfull.
try keeping a dream journal if you're worried about not remembering your dreams. even if you just remember a few moments of a dream, writing them down helps you recall dreams in future :)
I will never meditate though
Again, thank you for putting time into this channel and your videos. I frequently check to see if your channel has a new upload and am always excited for the next one.
This channel is absolutely fascinating
I'm always telling myself to get more sleep, but I never learn
set an alarm
to go to sleep
I feel like Im the only one who got that joke
I think sleep is the most important activity for people
Because sleep is controling our feelings and helping us to adjust to a given situation
Also sleep makes us feel better when we do other activities
Me, too. Sleep is very very important for human being. And..you look a Korean. Are you?
Usually these kind of videos are absolute popular science garbage. But your videos are good! It seems like you have read the papers and understood what they were about. Props from a neuroscience PhD
01:45 AM ... got this in my recommendation, lmao
That’s not even late tho. You should still have plenty of time it’s almost 5AM here lel.

Your channel is one of the best things that have ever happened in my life
My problem is sleeping too much, not too little. Am I gonna die?
How much?
No! Most pro-athletes sleep way more than 8 hours a day. Roger Federer constantly sleeps more than 10 hours a day, with his target being 12! (and he is the GOAT) so obviously you have some untapped potential you didn't realise yet thanks to your excessive sleeping! ;)
there is a study showing people who get 6 hours of sleep have a lower overall mortality rate than 8 hours, i believe 7 was the optimal but someone can check that
What I've Learned Like 10 to 12 hours but I wake up many times during the night. Like I sleep nice and tight for 4 hours then I wake up, look at the roof for 5 min then I sleep for 4 hours again and so on.
how much sleep you need varies beetween people, so no maybe you just need more sleep than others
Awesome! This is what I was waiting for, great video as usual! Good job!
Neo presses ctrl X as narrator says 'cut out'
Brilliant editing my man
The first 20 secs of this are gold....u basically explained why I'm finding it difficult to sleep early after reading up on the importance of sleep
Thank you for bringing this up. I'm a neurobiology student, currently doing my Master's at Chronobiology Department and I find everything connected to internal rythms endlessly fascinating. Also, sleep is such and overlooked topic, it blows my mind that the society takes things like night shifts, all-night parties and abuse of stimulants so lightly - quite possibly because sheer lack of awareness of the long-term consequences. But who can blame them - up until just recently being sleep deprived was a rare event and the data showing the real dangers of ot is just accumulating.
Connecting this to another big topic on your channel - have you heard about time-restriced feeding? Check out Dr. Stachin Panda. Not long ago he was a guest on Found My Fitness podcast (which is also a channel here on YT, which I can highly recommend).
I'd like to thank you for these viseos. So far you've covered only the topics which I'm really passionate about myself. I'm glad I found a channel where I can send interested people to - sending actual articles to folks not connected to science (and usually not native english speakers as well) rarely resulted in them reading those, even if they were the ones who asked for them. Even a relatively straightforward podcast can be off-putting to a layperson. And most of the short videos I found were either waaaay oversimplified, sometimes even not correct factually, or just not appealing. Your videos have it all. Keep it up! I'm sure your channel will grow fast.
Wow. I thought you had millions of subscribers. Your channel is totally worth millions of subscribers. Thank you for your videos man, absolutely love them.
being a night owl sucks
A great idea would be adderall
its just a habit. you need to reset your circadian rythm by waking uo early, always at the same time, and immedialetly looking at the bright sky after you wake up. after two weeks, yuo wont be a night owl anymore. and stay off that caffeine!
@@username-yn5yo aight I'll try it
@@username-yn5yo No it's not! I've tried changing my rhythm, believe me and I've hated every minute! Hated it! I was always tired all morning and all day and really awake and alert in the evening, even after a long time of trying. It just didn't work.
@@username-yn5yo yess that's so true, everyone can become a morning person!!
You should produce a recommended reading list! You always refer to great reads!
Several years ago I had to travel for training in a new highly technical job performing lithotripsy. The days were long and hard so even if you took notes each day there was no time to study, and you were too tired anyway. Right away the second day I noticed I was doing everything a lot better than I had the day before. I even said something to my trainer about how funny it is, its as if I had more practice even though there was no time all I did was sleep. I'll never forget, he said, "Its always like that."
Your edits are incredibly well done -- and creative.
I have found that uncomfortable dreams (mild nightmares) are generally when I think about something for less than a second. Kinda like my brain saying "soooo about that one thought earlier..."
i can't thank you enough, literally a few minutes of my life changed my mindset completely. like the video you posted about excersise completely changed the way i see sports. this channel is the most informative i've seen in all my life. i have no doubts that you will reach 1kk subs eventually if you keep doing this. thank you.
"Sleep is so important for your health"
School : We don't do that here
Honestly, thanks for your videos. Led me to some videos and books that have really improved my life.
so much happening visually in this video o.o
my head hurted watching so I found myself looking away in order to focus on the information presented
I respect the amount of research and citations you put up for a video.
3:45 I see what you did there. Very good!
Joe Simmonds Damn!
Huh
Wait, the guys mouth movements syncing with what he said?
You slept well
Brilliant!
Great informative Video. Really outstanding approach to this topic, great video effects (Matrix monitor writing) and of course useful knowledge. Thank for your effort in making it.
I was just thinking of your channel, and here you are, a new upload. Coincidence? I think not.
tunananananan tan tan tan tan tan taaaan
same for me
You have seriously knocked it out of the park, Loving your videos man. Great research
you deserve more subs
All of your videos deserve more views and you deserve more subscribers. Seriously.
Wow this is actually insane... I need to get my sleep together😅 all the things you say in the video checks of with me...
Sometimes I have these "guffaw" moments during your videos; ghrelin was this video's moment.
Thank you SO much for compiling this - all of it.
So how did you get over your sleep anxiety? Now im feeling really anxious about my sleep. I fall asleep ok, but wake up after 4-5 hours and have a difficult time going back to sleep.
Your body is really good at creating habits and associating certain objects and times with patterns of behavior. If you can lay in your bed (and do nothing else -especially not check your phone) at the same time every night (10PM would be good) and wake up at the same time every morning, your brain will quickly associate 10PM and your bed with sleep and you'll fall asleep faster and faster.
-I started making sure to get in my bed 10PM every night, and each night I fell asleep quicker and quicker. Started out taking about 25 minutes, now I fall asleep in about 5 minutes.
-I screwed up the schedule to get this video done, and then it was hard to fall asleep again. The next day I was saying "Goddamnit, go to sleep, go to sleep." to myself then I stopped and thought: "You've gotten in bed at the right time, all you can do is lay here and all you have to do is lay here at this same time again tomorrow night and it will get easier." Resigning myself to the fact that there was nothing else I could do other than lay there really helped curb that anxiety and before I knew it it was morning.
What I've Learned I'll try that
What I've Learned I am in bed every day at 9. I have no problem falling asleep. I wake up at 3am though and can't fall back to sleep after that. The longer I lay in bed, the more anxious I feel. I've tried meditating, thinking happy thoughts, reading, the only thing that has helped is Benadryl but that is not a long term solution.
I find 6-8 bourbons helps calm the nerves, puts me right out
Buck Shot I don't drink
your videos are very useful and nice, thank you for all your hard work!
Anyone watching this late instead of sleeping?😂
Nope, "early" in the "morning"
absolutely love the quality of your videos. thank you!!
Watching this knowing full well I haven't slept in 46 hours
Perhaps take melatonin supplements?
Have you slept yet?
Excellent video! I always think about what a fantastic job those on call surgeons must do after being up for 60 hours straight!
Damn school stress gives me symptoms like insomnia or sleep deprivation, loss of appetite, and anger etc.
I have watched so many videos on sleep........this is one of the best videos I've seen regarding sleep and its importance. I especially like the part concerning stretching your back which has caused me to wake up several times throughout the night in the past. I just did some stretching and you can bet that I'll be doing that from now on.
Good ! And now i m gonna rewatch "Fight club" ! Like for the 223rd time !
i am your big fans now.
you are the one of my youtuber that i will watch IMMEDIATELY when you upload video
You trade sleep for life
Ive slept about 1 hour above my class and i passed but every year my grades went down(didnt study)
Now im sleeping 8 hours and my grades and great and i barely learn
Your channel is fantastic, seriously. You have a good voice, the images you use to illustrate your points are interesting and most important the information you bring foward is unique and seems well researched. If you continue like this I suspect you'll have one of the biggest information channels on TH-cam in no time
its true,..less sleep for a week caused moody,anxiety,paranoia.... sleep well!😉
For me, at the moment, this looks like the best channel I have found so far! Always well-presented and very interesting. Well done!
I’m wondering how the brain reacts on information about how the brain works when i sleep
gaining insights from sleep is definitely true and has helped me solve programming bugs.
watching this at 1am, 6 hours before I have to get up for school.. lol
Excellent choices in movie clips... Well done on the video making.
whats the music at around 5:50?
also, does adenicine build up when you are on a keto diet?
This is definitely one of my favored channels these days.
Thanks for sharing! (=
can you make a video about nootropics like noopept and other stuff?
This is the most informative and interesting channel I have found on youtube. I wish there were more content like this
Thank you for posting these videos. I tend to binge on information in a disruptive way, and these videos give me a shortcut to positive, applicable conclusions and practical solutions. I'm less inclined to mistake the discovery for the application when I find them this way as well, which means implementing what I'm learning also becomes easier. I really think you're doing a great service.
It may sound like a cop-put, but I'm unable to contribute to your patreon right now. Someday!
Looking forward to Part 2. I struggle with getting/not getting enough sleep and am trying to normalize my sleep habits/patterns.
Boss: why are you late?
Me: watch this vid thank me later
Thx man, your videos are so informative, that`s so rare on youtube. I took notes and actually filled up 3,5 pages!
The irony of me missing sleep just to watch this😂
Great video! Some of this research I'd come across myself, but I found it very insightful to know exactly how the varied levels of hormones and neurotransmitters affect the body. Very much looking forward to the next video. Sleep quality is definitely something I want to improve upon.
*Watching this video at **12:36** am with midterm at **9:30** am*
Oh fuck
Love what you're doing man!
nobody:
me: wakes up at 1 am and watches this
I knew it....I deprived myself of 8 hours, thinking I could adapt to 6 hours maximum and still be the same. I've realized that alot of my life has suffered from this and im now trying to change this and my sleep habits. I mean I know that this isn't the source of all my issues, but it's a big part of it. I am now on a path to recorrect my problems for the sake of myself and my relationship. Thank you so much for this extremely useful information...I thought I was just going through some sort of funk or mid life crisis.
It is my experience that sleep will return your mind/body to homeostatic equilibrium (ie. "conditioning defaults" as I sometimes call it), so for those fellas addicted to something (so the mind is conditioned to frequent substance abuse), sleeping will actually make their urges harder to tolerate, as they try to push to change this equilibrium.
You are presenting a wonderful argument in favor of doing away with Daylight Saving time.
Watcing this at 04:20 AM
I've gone several days at a time unable to sleep too worked up about work and school. At one point I thought sleep was even a waste of time. Keeping deadlines is what mattered.
i only sleep 5 hours a night... and maybe 1-2 hours afternoon... idk why but at night im the most creative and can do the most stuff...
DRC 85 it sucks and is a great at the same time, I need. Sleep but staying up very late and being just you and no other annoyances in your way and atmosphere is like an entire new world it’s hard to find a balance
I love your videos! so thanks a ton for your hard work. I just wanted to maybe add a tangent on the this subject to look into. Ive been getting into the ancient yogic sciences of the east, there I came across the idea that unless your extremely physically active most of your sleep needs are related to diet. We know roughly how long it takes our bodies to digest certain foods, cooked meat is somewhere around 50 hours(70 something for uncooked) veggies are like 16ish cooked ( or 12 or something raw) and fruits are like 2-3 hours. Now you can see what happens to food when its sits around for that long in a temperature similar to the inside of your body, decay happens, it also happens in your body while you process it. So if you eat a excessive amount of food in general or far to heavy portions of meat you can have up to 2 days of food in you at a time that is basically rotting. rot is just a large amount of bacterial activity when this happens in your body now a large portion of your bodies energy needs to be directed to quelling this bacterial activity especially when your eating heavily everyday consistently causing a constant backup further slowing the process thats gonna make you very TIRED as basically your normal state so normal you forget notion of feeling any different and probably also depend on caffeine and other stimulant to even simply function a entire day without face planting into insta sleep every 20 min.
Id be very interested in your opinion and what you find regarding this thought process, because I used to sleep like 9-11 hours a night and be very very addicted to constant caffeine and pretty much any other stimulant i could get my hands on, because i would actually feel fully functional for once, and my diet was basically straight processed garbage. I made a radical diet change while not completely cutting out meat( never imagined id ever even try because i thought i loved it sooooooo much) heavily reducing it and eating lots more veggies and fruits with lots of peanut butter as my main source of fat and protein. even so it was still a half assed attempted at the diet I was trying, and all of a sudden after a couple days clearing my system and adjusting all of a sudden my natural wake time( no alarm) happened after 5-7 hours usually 6, and I pop out of bed going to full alert awake mode after like 5-10 min instead of being in full zombie mode for like 1-2 hours after waking like i used to be. And even more amazing I just decieded to quite caffiene and stimulants( like adderall) and just tossed them like it was no big deal. This is not some little thing for me at all I tried my damnedest to quite caffiene soo many times but found it literally undoable, I would simply be 2 tired and non functional all the time yet this time it was like deciding to wear different shoes cause the old ones hurt, easy peasy. Anyway sorry for rambling, just thought id salivate your curiosity a bit. Thanks again for your great content and the time you put into it, and have a great day!!

what about Nicola Tesla ? he slept 2 hour only in a day but he took regular power nap.
@@seanmichaels8060 ur conclusion doesnt make any sense
What.
@@blueyoshi7654 actually that sounds about right. Tesla failed at socializing and never learned navigate economically thus ended up being taken advantaged and died alone and poor. doesnt matter how smart you are, if you cant socialize then you cant human therefore you cant live.
