“I am not a doctor. I’m just a guy on the internet.” This is coming from the guy who does more research in one day to think for himself than most doctors do in an entire year that just regurgitate what they were programmed to say in medical schools funded by drug companies. Keep up the amazing work Thomas. You’ve made an incredible difference in the quality of life for my wife and me. We’ve both lost about 10 and 20 pounds, respectively, in the last couple months. Both of us have stopped experiencing GI issues and my wife stopped having joint and gut inflammation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they have any clue what they're talking about. As you said, most of them just regurgitate what they were taught in medical school. That is not to say that there aren't some good doctors out there but they are rare.
@@Axiomatic75 I'd say only rely on Doctors for a diagnosis or a surgery, because we're not trained to do it ourselves. When it comes to nutrition advice though, not so much.
Doctors are most of the time. Academically induced hubris. In comparison to the doctors I know, I know more about how it works just from reading studies and watching youtube videos. Jason Fung, Eric Berg, Sten Ekberg, David Asprey, David Sinclair - Put it together and you're already there.
Lets not forget that some doctors spend years in school and thats more than most people will ever accomplish in their life, at the end of the day most docs wanna help its not entirely their fault that the educational system is flawed.
When I started with Keto my sleeping improved massively. Since then I always fall asleep within a few minutes and wake up about 7 hours later fully rested. I never felt better
I don’t sleep good on sad , low carb or basic keto however keto/ carnivore had me sleeping like never before . I miss it about to go back to carnivore and slowly add in veggies to try and figure out if there is something I’m intolerant to
Struggled sleeping (waking up in the middle of the night) doing IF and keto. Turned out to be a blood sugar spike as my liver was reacting to low blood sugar. Drinking ACV 30 minutes before bed cured this. You can aslo try a handful of nuts (almonds/pistachios) as well. Good luck.
@@drkimap5784 Normally 2 tbls in a pint of water. A handful of Pistachios works great aswell because they contain a pre cursor to serotonin which helps with sleep plus keeps your blood sugar in check. But obviously breaks your fast.
My psychotherapy teacher told us about an experiment that had been conducted many years ago say around 40 plus years, where they studied a group of random people when they slept but woke them up whenever they started REM (Rapid Eye Movement ) indicating the person was in a "dream" state. They continued interrupting the dream state of the participants every night but after a week or two of this they all started having psychotic episodes, mental break downs, hallucinations and all sorts of psychiatric malidies. They deduced that the REM or Dream state was a vital function for the normal healthy function of the human psyche, although they could not explain the phenomenon clearly.
Hey thank you for the video! For me it’s kind of the other way around when I am sleeping. Im doing keto for 6+ years now and my sleep recordings show that I always get 100% of my deep sleep, but only 5-10% rem sleep. I also noticed when I’m eating carbs in the evening my rem sleep at night improves a lot.
I have been struggling with sleep recently, I started IF 4 times a week again in Feb and my sleep wasn’t too bad. Then started a longer fasting window doing 3 day fasting and I am struggling to stay asleep. I hope this video helps. Thanks for all your guidance
I started keto and intermittent fasting beginning of the year. Ruined my sleep and gave me constipation. After ten weeks, I dumped keto but kept intermittent fasting. Went back to eating complex carbs and lots of veggies. Within days, my good sleep returned and constipation vanished. So, it’s not the fasting.
@@Nicksonian appreciate that. I have only recently started really minimizing carbs, previously I kept a low carb diet but still had rice, pita, tortillas. I’ve cut that out over the last few weeks so I totally agree with you. Cheers
Same thing happened to me while fasting. Its most likely your liver iniciating a blood sugar spike at 3am ish due to low blood sugar in the night. Try eating a handful if nuts (almonds) or drink 2 x tbls of apple cider vinegar (with water) 30 minutes before bed. Worked for me.
I tried a new product just for skin care and it had melatonin in it. It had an obvious impact on my sleep quality. I am ok in that area but this made it even better. It's called Ancient Minerals. Has Aloe and Magnesium with melatonin too. Just was a nice surprise. Sometimes I just rub it on my wrists. It's a little pricey.
Love this channel. I had to dig this vid back up. Just hit a deep ketosis the last week or so and man its been tough getting solid amount of hours. Finally back to hitting closer to 7-8 hrs
I'm having issues witg staying asleep for about the last 0.5 to 1.5 hours of an 8-hour sleep video. Did you have similar issues and if so, what helped?
@@torgoron9695 adding carbs back in. Was at 40-50g day. Than went to 60-80g a day for a few weeks. My activity was still too high. My workouts were garbage energy wise. And sleep was crap. Went to 180g a day and that seems to be okay. I still occasionally have a shitty night sleep but thats from staying up real late. Or getting woken up odd times from drinking water close to bed time
Really interesting, thanks also for the detailed numbers. Did your sleep issues affect the last part of the night, rather the middle of the night or falling asleep? One the one hand, would be interesting to know but on the other hand, I guess everyone's different. I've also had some experiences of being on keto, but then on some family-occasion we ate bread-based dinner. The night after I had the best sleep in weeks.
@@torgoron9695 trial and error.. As my activity exercise increased for 7 days a week and my workouts with my trainer were more intense. Going from 30-40g carb wasnt doing it. Than i did 70-90g a day for a few weeks and again it hit a point to where my energy crashed bad. Felt very dehydrated and very malnourished feeling. I started to try and hit 150-170g a day and that seems to do the trick
For all the good advice you've served over the years hears one for you Thomas; Dark circles and bag under eyes usually mean kidneys and liver are struggling. Try MSM and NAC to help your body out. MSM to be taken in the morning to not effect your sleep :)
Love the videos Thomas...lost around 45 lbs on KETO / IF and feel fantastic. I have no problem falling to sleep but wake up a lot...get up early 3 am - 5:30 am (just wake up and can't go back to sleep) but still feel rested for the most part (bed around 9:30 pm). Still would like to sleep longer.....will try these suggestions
I’m there with you. I fall asleep fine. But wake around 3 every night. I was wondering if I had shift work disorder. Glad to know I’m not alone…(but not happy that you’re waking up too).
Try ACV with salt & scoop of dr. Gundry vital reds. And your mag about 1 hr bfore bed... of coarse i stop eating by 4pm... sleep great and well rested in morn.
The collagen supplement may cause you to need carbs because typically tryptophan is not present in those. Maybe try going without the collagen and see if that helps. Still trying to figure out my perfect formula.
Hi i have the Glucose monitor in my arm for a few days and i notice that my glucose drops around 3 am everyday ... should i be concern ? goes down til 47 sometimes ... and during the day stay between 70 and 90 range ... fasting and no fasting ..
Yes to red light therapy! Watching sunrise and getting sun on your skin as well. 🌞. Keto/low carb ruined my sleep as well but after trying red light therapy and getting outside more it’s getting better. Had to stop fasting more than 12-14 hours as well.
I can’t sleep on sad , low carb or regular keto yet i sleep like a rock on keto carnivore . I’m going to go carnivore again slowly add in foods to see if there is something causing this
I’ve discovered that I’m really having a difficult time sleeping, unless I take allergy meds. I don’t want to take them just to sleep or they won’t work when I need them. I’ll try the tea & hot shower before bed first. Thank you.
@@james7751 yes but when one has allergies you don’t want to make the meds not work for that and if I take them more than a few days they end up causing migraines. Not fun. So I can’t take antihistamines every day.
Hm yes could be since I quit keto I've been sleeping normally kind of. Well you should ask why keto messes up sleep, that sounds pretty wrong, given how important sleep is. The obvious answer is high iron, which causes adrenal fatigue which causes insomnia. My gout is still almost completely gone. On minimal iron diet, anything goes that's whole food, with quick high intensity exercise.
@@starbreath76 it's not really keto but imo keto is just a bunch of best practices anyway. Like meat is an extremely nutrient dense food, but also very high in iron. The ketones angle hasn't convinced me. I believe that if you don't get more carbs per meal that can be temporarily be stored in your muscles you won't have blood sugar issues. Easy to measure. More important not to eat junk, avoid veggie oils and sugar drinks. I eat lots of fullfat milk and cheese, disregarding the few carbs this adds. Especially since milk blocks iron and is almost keto. Pure whey for protein and that is keto. Salad drenched in olive oil, carrots, keto. Potatoes and sweet potatoes. It wasn't called the potato famine for nothing. For fillers I'm having fruit (guava, grapes, bananas) with hit exercise which reduces insulin dramatically. I'll add back nuts first after I get a bit lower in iron (avoid with vitamin C at same time as that absorbs iron a lot more).
@@starbreath76 basically anything low protein on the keto list is low iron, with the exception of dairy which has almost no iron. I'm not a fan of plant protein, but it has less absorbable iron (at least when not taking it with vitamin c). Meat is worst, but at least chicken or fish have less than half the iron in beef.
For those who've been experimenting with red light: what time of the day and for how long each sesh works best for you in regards to sleep quality? I've been doing 4-5 times a week, 15 min morning upon waking and 15 min at night
I recognize the sleep thingy after four years Ketogenic,but I questioning if it's really a problem or just natural state? Maybe or mindless Dailey living is the problem and we think keto is? Now I'm on insulin injections since two months and I can tell you if you think keto gives you bad sleep....well....just think about a diabetic type 1 👌🏼 And I suspect it's not the Ketogenic part that gives us less sleep,I think it's too do with the fasting part?
STOP PRESS: DEFRAGGING? That is what you do with hard drives, spinning rust. Most modern computers come equipped with solid state discs (SSD's). You do not defrag those. It does not improve their performance (since no spinning means direct access) and defragging actually shortens the lifespan of SSD's. Windows is smart enough to not schedule defragging for SSD's but you never know with people on the interwebz.
Hello, Im 5’9 327 lbs and i started at 350. Im currently doing a 24 hr fast, then i eat like 1,700 calories and night like 2-4 hrs before I sleep. Im trying to lose weight while gaining or at least maintaining muscle. Should i keep doing this? Ive been doing this daily for like 2-3 weeks or so.
I have the opposite, with clean keto and fasting I sleep extremely a lot. Beyond the 8 hours per night I must take an afternoon nap. I also feel weak, even hitting the 4th month.
I had a similar experience then I started adding in sodium and potassium, which isn’t as fidgety as it sounds. Very quickly I had more energy and strength in the gym because I could retain more water in my muscles. You retain less water on keto, so you piss away those minerals (magnesium too) leaving you feeling weaker. He’s got a good video about how those two minerals work in tandem if you want the importance explained further, but I digress. A quick easy way to get potassium is “lo salt” (you’ve probably seen it in the supermarket) and for sodium have some Himalayan salt.
I can’t remember having a hard time on keto and fasting. On cheat days though and on the second day of a 3 day fast is only I have a little bit of hard time sleeping. On carb refeed days though even eating healthy carbs that because of the bloat I have discomfort when sleeping or trying to sleep. Since I clconverted to high fat carnivore though sleep compared to keto is much easier to get into and much more comfortable. I think the 12 years I went vegetarian before turning to keto has made me sensitive to oxalates because I get the signs of oxalate sensitivity even on clean carbs during my carb refeed days on keto.😳
“It’s all about cooling the body” it’s a warm shower separately and in junction, cooling the body because it’s too warm, it’s reflective to changing pillow sides every now and then.
It's the process of cooling the body down that's important. Taking a hot shower your body would need to cool down after to get back to normal. The study he referenced just used an ice pack instead of a shower. Honestly I'd try both. Warming your body up and then cooling it quickly.
Hey Darren, did you give it up cold turkey or did you slowly transition out . I been on it 2months and the insomnia is crazy getting no sleep getting ready to quit 😢
I swear to god, if you would approach this subject less click batey I would watch all your videos. But sincerely it looks silly, the thumbnail, the well thought title. Just say it as it is.
Dr. Ken Berry calls carnivore the “proper human diet” but it cannot be if it affects sleep. If it were not for stumbling on these videos I would be a wired mess. My sleep is all broken up since being carnivore 3 months. I believe we are omnivores and those of us whose intestines have been damaged by the SAD diet have to become carnivore from the damage. GMO’s and everything else are damaging us. I hate eating keto/carnivore. It feels like jail.
How is taking a "warm or hot shower" all about "cooling the body" and potentially equivalent to an electric ice pack? On its surface, that makes no sense!
You take it about 90 minutes before bedtime. After your shower your body is heated up and then rapidly lose body heat as your body cools down, and this change in temp is what triggers a better sleep.
May I just point here: any meal that is not actually balanced well enough can and will disrupt different aspects of our well-being, I.e. the “Keto”. Than there is the the thing of our humble beginnings of origin: like some people are more vegetarian than others, but also there are those who are very unhappy with their vegetables. Have you given a thought about that?
Why are you talking so fast today? BTW I've tried most of those things, but still getting the same sleeping patterns, the only thing different is, I'm having more dreams.
What's with the bullshit click bait titles? I only just subscribed to this channel, not because I saw any of the DESTROYS or YOU WONT BELIEVE titled videos. It was just "a guide to longer term fasting". And then I watched a bunch more coz this guy is badass. These clickbait titles make me want to unsubscribe.
I have been experiencing keto insomnia for 3 week. I am taking L tryptophan 3g, L theanine 600mg, 5-HTP 200mg, magnesium citrate 400mg, alpha gpc 1.2g, omega 3 1g, melatonine 0.1mg and 20g glucose every night before Bed. I couldn't sleep without them. Although those supplements do help with my sleep, My sleep quality still sucks. I need help😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am sleeping 7 hours a day, and my body and heart feel restless and tired, I am becoming more and more irritable. I want to know why and how to fix this.
i dont think this is really the cause Thomas.. i think there is something bad with keto diet in general here... when i look at ur old videos for example this one.. ua-cam.com/video/uYp0yvZmYqM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThomasDeLauer i can see that u looked much healthier around the eyes etc so it cant be genetics that makes u look bad around the eyes now... ? and better looking in the face and body in general. i cant see many people doing keto and building muscle or looking healthy and mostly getting white hair and tired eyes looks tired which is strange and considering how much good quality food u have access too well that is making it more strange that u look worse not better the longer u are doing keto. i hope u dont take this in bad way or personal i still love u and ur amazing videos but i cant ignore the obvious here.
🤬 How can you come out and say keto is doing this to you? Are there studies you are referring to that you didn't share in this video? I totally disagree with this click bait method you busted here. 🤬 This whole video is just tips on how to sleep better.. What was the point of blaming keto? You didn't even get into that. 🤬🤬🤬
@@adindashe5991 Are we talking real keto? or Kinda-keto? Fact is, many folks out there doing keto are just claiming they are while still consuming all those yum yums they consider "low carb". Even Tom here admits he's not always keto. Products claiming to be keto but still have inflammatory ingredients aren't actually keto. Inflammatory oils and wheat being the main culprit. Further more, I would suggest these folks are eating something inflammatory that doesn't agree with their body. This could also mean a plant product.
SIR! the keto diet is not even optimal. Carnivore is. Carnivore does keto cycling how it's supposed to be done. Please ur are not qualified to critically look at the literature properly.

acv - regulates blood sugar.
How many carbs before bed does this require to be affective? Does it have to be 20? Is 10 enough?

I eat 1/2 small bowl of white rice and it helps me to sleep better.
Thank you !!
What brand of magnesium glycinate do you recommend? There are just so many on Amazon and reviews are mixed.
The gay kind
Never get decent deep sleep and haven't for decades.I get so much REM sleep it's ridiculous.
Paused video. Finally a Thomas video on sleep!
What are some examples of carbs to allocate for end of the day?
I eat 1/2 small bowl of white rice and it helps with my sleep better without kick off the ketosis state.
How does taking supplements and redbush at bed time square up with fasting? I try to shut my window 8pm - ish.
Great video topic idea. Thanks!
which carb can i allocate on keto diet for better sleep
I recognize the sleep thingy after four years Ketogenic,but I questioning if it's really a problem or just natural state?
Maybe or mindless Dailey living is the problem and we think keto is?
Now I'm on insulin injections since two months and I can tell you if you think keto gives you bad sleep....well....just think about a diabetic type 1 👌🏼
And I suspect it's not the Ketogenic part that gives us less sleep,I think it's too do with the fasting part?
Thank you 🙏🏻
I tried glycine caps. It does help with getting to sleep.
Using it works
Where do you get that tea from?
Which is the best book you recommend for nutrition ?
FINALLY.. I've been fiending some TD!
@thomas First time I have heard a person not from South Africa pronounce Rooibos correct.😂
No I take 2 Xanax before bed.I dont have a problem. But I do take 2 grams of GABA. Explaint
that one
STOP PRESS: DEFRAGGING? That is what you do with hard drives, spinning rust. Most modern computers come equipped with solid state discs (SSD's). You do not defrag those. It does not improve their performance (since no spinning means direct access) and defragging actually shortens the lifespan of SSD's. Windows is smart enough to not schedule defragging for SSD's but you never know with people on the interwebz.
wrong video for your comment?
Hello, Im 5’9 327 lbs and i started at 350. Im currently doing a 24 hr fast, then i eat like 1,700 calories and night like 2-4 hrs before I sleep. Im trying to lose weight while gaining or at least maintaining muscle. Should i keep doing this? Ive been doing this daily for like 2-3 weeks or so.
Any updates?
Glycine break a fast?
If you need more than one way, there is something wrong with whatever it is you're doing
Timely wisdom …
Thanks for the tips! Three kids need sleep
CBN is an amazing sleep aid
Do you take the cbn every night? If so, have you found that you have to increase the dosage over time as the body adapts?
What if I only do 4?
I use some thc to sleep 💪🏻
Every night? How often? I’m concerned the body will adapt and require more and more over time.
@@gunner5916 that it does. I seem to get by with changing brands of my edibles. But you are right, it is an issue at times
a cheaper source of glycine would be cooked collagen, i.e. gelatin
Is there any gelatin without added ingredients or sugars ?
the mdma receptor 😁
I have the opposite, with clean keto and fasting I sleep extremely a lot. Beyond the 8 hours per night I must take an afternoon nap. I also feel weak, even hitting the 4th month.
I had a similar experience then I started adding in sodium and potassium, which isn’t as fidgety as it sounds.
Very quickly I had more energy and strength in the gym because I could retain more water in my muscles.
You retain less water on keto, so you piss away those minerals (magnesium too) leaving you feeling weaker.
He’s got a good video about how those two minerals work in tandem if you want the importance explained further, but I digress.
A quick easy way to get potassium is “lo salt” (you’ve probably seen it in the supermarket) and for sodium have some Himalayan salt.
@@CursedWheelieBin yeah, did the same. I stopped keto a month ago but planning to re-start again next week
I can’t remember having a hard time on keto and fasting. On cheat days though and on the second day of a 3 day fast is only I have a little bit of hard time sleeping. On carb refeed days though even eating healthy carbs that because of the bloat I have discomfort when sleeping or trying to sleep. Since I clconverted to high fat carnivore though sleep compared to keto is much easier to get into and much more comfortable. I think the 12 years I went vegetarian before turning to keto has made me sensitive to oxalates because I get the signs of oxalate sensitivity even on clean carbs during my carb refeed days on keto.😳
A little bit lighter is quite a understatement for me anywat
💯
My sleep issues turned out to be undiagnosed sleep apnea
Wait.... Is it a warm/hot shower, or an ice pack on the head? Seems like opposite things... I've rewatched that part and still don't get it....
Yeah, it was contradictory
“It’s all about cooling the body” it’s a warm shower separately and in junction, cooling the body because it’s too warm, it’s reflective to changing pillow sides every now and then.
It's the process of cooling the body down that's important. Taking a hot shower your body would need to cool down after to get back to normal. The study he referenced just used an ice pack instead of a shower. Honestly I'd try both. Warming your body up and then cooling it quickly.
@@morganrodriguez4675 I'd think the shower and/or pack should be the same then?
Well unless it is a hot shower at 98.6 degrees plus it would actually provide cooling yes?
Is glycine itself keto?
@6:57 🐷 😂😂😂
That was funny to you!?!?!?! Wow
I have some plain Greek yogurt b4 bed and take a hot shower
That's why I gave up low carb semi keto, couldn't sleep.
Hey Darren, did you give it up cold turkey or did you slowly transition out . I been on it 2months and the insomnia is crazy getting no sleep getting ready to quit 😢
Yeah, drink a diuretic before bed so you can be up all night peeing. Good one!
I swear to god, if you would approach this subject less click batey I would watch all your videos. But sincerely it looks silly, the thumbnail, the well thought title. Just say it as it is.
old saying
I don't care who's the biggest fish in the lake
I'm a completely different animal
Dr. Ken Berry calls carnivore the “proper human diet” but it cannot be if it affects sleep. If it were not for stumbling on these videos I would be a wired mess. My sleep is all broken up since being carnivore 3 months. I believe we are omnivores and those of us whose intestines have been damaged by the SAD diet have to become carnivore from the damage. GMO’s and everything else are damaging us. I hate eating keto/carnivore. It feels like jail.
Collagen give me anxiety!
How is taking a "warm or hot shower" all about "cooling the body" and potentially equivalent to an electric ice pack? On its surface, that makes no sense!
I was thinking the same thing
You take it about 90 minutes before bedtime. After your shower your body is heated up and then rapidly lose body heat as your body cools down, and this change in temp is what triggers a better sleep.
May I just point here: any meal that is not actually balanced well enough
can and will disrupt different aspects of our well-being, I.e. the “Keto”.
Than there is the the thing of our humble beginnings of origin: like some
people are more vegetarian than others, but also there are those who are
very unhappy with their vegetables. Have you given a thought about that?
Thats my theory too! People are different.
Why are you talking so fast today? BTW I've tried most of those things, but still getting the same sleeping patterns, the only thing different is, I'm having more dreams.
What's with the bullshit click bait titles? I only just subscribed to this channel, not because I saw any of the DESTROYS or YOU WONT BELIEVE titled videos. It was just "a guide to longer term fasting". And then I watched a bunch more coz this guy is badass. These clickbait titles make me want to unsubscribe.
I have been experiencing keto insomnia for 3 week. I am taking L tryptophan 3g, L theanine 600mg, 5-HTP 200mg, magnesium citrate 400mg, alpha gpc 1.2g, omega 3 1g, melatonine 0.1mg and 20g glucose every night before Bed. I couldn't sleep without them. Although those supplements do help with my sleep, My sleep quality still sucks. I need help😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am sleeping 7 hours a day, and my body and heart feel restless and tired, I am becoming more and more irritable. I want to know why and how to fix this.
Try half a banana with a teaspoon of raw honey around 2 hours before bed.
R u nuts? 🤪
i dont think this is really the cause Thomas.. i think there is something bad with keto diet in general here... when i look at ur old videos for example this one.. ua-cam.com/video/uYp0yvZmYqM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThomasDeLauer
i can see that u looked much healthier around the eyes etc so it cant be genetics that makes u look bad around the eyes now... ? and better looking in the face and body in general.
i cant see many people doing keto and building muscle or looking healthy and mostly getting white hair and tired eyes looks tired which is strange and considering how much good quality food u have access too well that is making it more strange that u look worse not better the longer u are doing keto.
i hope u dont take this in bad way or personal i still love u and ur amazing videos but i cant ignore the obvious here.
5 years since that video.... (age)
I sleep better on keto so weird
keto doesn't disrupt sleep. you're an insomniac
🤬 How can you come out and say keto is doing this to you? Are there studies you are referring to that you didn't share in this video? I totally disagree with this click bait method you busted here. 🤬 This whole video is just tips on how to sleep better.. What was the point of blaming keto? You didn't even get into that. 🤬🤬🤬
Many people on keto suffer from worse sleep. You’ll find lots of people talking about this online :)
@@adindashe5991 Are we talking real keto? or Kinda-keto? Fact is, many folks out there doing keto are just claiming they are while still consuming all those yum yums they consider "low carb". Even Tom here admits he's not always keto. Products claiming to be keto but still have inflammatory ingredients aren't actually keto. Inflammatory oils and wheat being the main culprit. Further more, I would suggest these folks are eating something inflammatory that doesn't agree with their body. This could also mean a plant product.
@fairyffine then blame the obvious... coffee. but to go on a tangent on how carbohydrates improve sleep without showing why it would, is click bait.
@fairyffine You "easy keto" folks really know how to take a good thing and make it "nothing".
Have a hot shower to cool down ???????
yes, that is how body works. Indians eat spicy hot food because it cools down the body in hot Indian summers.
@@1sr0 no it just makes you sweat ... That's not the same as cooling the body down .
SIR!
the keto diet is not even optimal. Carnivore is. Carnivore does keto cycling how it's supposed to be done. Please ur are not qualified to critically look at the literature properly.
You’re a goober
let me guess, bart kay fan?.... ha-ha
