I find that browsing UA-cam videos puts me right to sleep... Problem is, I drop my phone on my face or chest, but that's my cue to hang it up! 😴
I'm glad that I'm not the only person to do this 😂 I used a tablet holder so I don't need to hold it until I fall asleep; the only thing that hinders me to automatically fall asleep is my glasses, I must wear them off before sleeping
Yes! We are a select few.
💯! I often have to look around and follow the charging cord to find my phone on the floor next to me LOL
Yes i know that. Allways hit my face😂
Yea, I listen to them more than watching them. Light doesn't bother me though. I sleep best in the daytime so if I turn on a light or phone, I might fall asleep. For some weird reason I fall asleep holding my phone and not dropping it. I wake up after the video ends, then I put the phone down, I have no idea how this can happen.
I love how those studies assume people sleep in one of the positions! I use all 3 positions multiple times a night!
I start on my back, go to my right side, swap to my left/ left stomach, and then return to my back before falling asleep like clockwork every night.
Yeah same. Start on my back, rotating to my side. When I wake up, I rotated 180 degrees with my head on the feetside of the bed.
"avoid blue light before bed" *has an all blue background*
Nah dawg its red
LOL
Stupidest comment i've ever seen
Thankfully my phone can turn everything black and white, useful for bedtime (only when you not planned to keep binging)
I used to always keep a blue lightbulb in my lamp, until it finally burned out.
Showering before bed has always been such a cozy thing for me. So cool to see my cozy-ness is backed up with science!
Not me watching this at 4 am
😆 Go to sleep!
😂😂😂
I work third shift so that's normal
Considering we went from exercising up to 4 hours in the prehistoric era to 0 in the modern era it definitely explains a lot.
More like damn near the whole day
I don't think Alot can be explained. He simply exists in all his furry grandeur
@eugene3883 Most of the daily activities were actually attainable in very little time, which is why in most societies, even H&G, you would have plenty of free time.
I cannot sleep when I am hungry, so eating in late evening is absolutely fine for me, overeating on the other hand is not.
Sleeping position is a weird one, I tried to look into that one and I found a lot of contradictory papers and no really well done study with big enough and random enough sample. I am stick what feels the most comfortable.
There may be other medical conditions that affect your optimum sleeping position.
Showering only in the morning has got to be the grossest dumbest time to shower, y’all mean you crawl into bed when you’re at your dirtiest/sweatiest?
My wife does this.
And then she complains she has no time to get ready in the morning.
Literally insane.
Why does hearing Robin & Stu's voices make me so happy? I think I'll sleep well tonight.
Happy it helps 😊
@@DebunkedOfficialI'm being serious here : Has this guy voiced television documentaries ? His voice sounds Very familiar . ♑️✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺
@@Friendship1nmillion He has voiced audio books and used to be the voice of the Alltime Movies and Alltime Conspiracies UA-cam Channels. Hope that helps.
@@DebunkedOfficial Thanks . I emailed a topic suggestion for your channel recently . What's the progress on that ? 💝
So that's why being a side-sleeper I always unintentionally embraced the blanket with my legs. Seems to be for the same reason as they recommended a pillow here
same fr
In summer I mostly shower late, nice to know that thats good^^
Sadly, my room is almost impossible to cool below 24° C in summer because the building is very new and isolated pretty good (no there is no AC), keeping windows open the whole night only brings it down from 25+ to about 24
You're not alone with your temperature problem mate
is it a problem that i’m watching this at 2:00 am?
I use a blue light filter for my computer, and use smart lighting to adjust color temps in the morning and evening, and I wake up almost every morning feeling energized... having had no problems falling asleep. I sleep on the floor most nights, and the only thing that I've found to keep me from falling asleep is not being comfy. That is almost always solved by turning to my other side, at which point I'm usually out in less than 5 minutes.
I work night shift as a Security Guard and sleep during the day. Any suggestions for how I could get a better sleep? Would it be better for me to sleep during the morning right after I get off work or stay up a bit and sleep in the early afternoon? Is pacing around at work better than sitting and relaxing? Does always wearing sunglasses during the day when outside negatively effect my ability to sleep when I’m inside? Does wearing a face mask over my eyes negatively effect my sleep quality in the long run?
Get TF OFF night shift!! Your body simply CAN’T adjust to that as a regular daily schedule…
12:15 Maybe use a warm color light/tone on your screen or set it to a black screen. Maybe sleep when you fall asleep at home. I think balance is good. Like between relaxing and some activity. Listen to something relaxing to help you fall asleep. You can look up your questions.
@@zeebest1004 not everyone has that option...
Exercise during work and sleep in a pitch black room
Yes it CAN adjust. I've been doing it for over a decade. No problems.
Night shift for phones. Also for PC users. f.lux is fantastic. based on your timezone changes your screen to a WARM light
Mark, du sprichst mir aus dem Herzen. Und aus der Seele. 👍👍👍
Hey guys, Butcher is right. Get to bed.
Great video. Thank you.
Very useful information! Splendid work man.
Thanks 😊
All your videos are brilliant and your funny as well keep making more please better than anything on tv well done
Very useful information, thanks!
Thanks for watching
8:59 That bedroom temp in the Caribbean where I live is literally impossible without specialty equipment.
As well as downright uncomfortable to those living in hotter climates, not to mention the AC cost for such temp would break the wallet.
I'm from SEA and have been sleeping in 25-26C range ever since.
@@chetawanung-adjmagool9967 and in some places it can go from near-freezing temperatures to sweltering in the space of 12 hours (east coast US is great for that sort of thing!) I personally am very temperature sensitive and can't even function if things are below about 21 degrees C.
You’re so real for this 🙏😘
I agree with the food topic, I hate that I end up eating dinner at 2am before I head to bed. I hate this. But thankfully (for some reason) watching educational videos help me fall asleep as I learn. I fall asleep quickly and eases my mindset.
You'll figure it out, buddy!
Carb coma has entered the chat😂
I do get pretty tired from a workout. I can't do it right after work because my whole day would consist of work, workout & sleep.
I figured out that the lights on my ALienware m18X mimicked firelight. Sleeping by that machine was comforting to say the least.
I always smile when I see an upload from this channel.
😊
I'm 61 I work on a building site. My back and calf muscles hurt every day, they still hurt in the morning. I've just brought another turnaround project to do when I get home from work. I never get a good night's sleep
It could be that people who sleep poorly think they are less fit, not that people who preceive their fitness to be high sleep better. (2:45-3:03)
It's somehow funny, that if I got exhausted by exercise or work over the day, I'll have a really hard evening, trying to find any sleep, because when I get home, all that tiredness completely goes away in about 10-30mins of being back home and transforms into "I wanna do more" from my body and mind...
same lol
About the best temperatures to keep the bedroom. I dont think that is universal.
Some hot countries like mine have an average temperatures ranging from 27-32°C.
Amd growing up in such environs males any temperature below 20°C so cold.
So imagine a temperature of 18°C in the bedroom.
Itll need a lot of getting used to.
Short,i think the temperature of comfort vary from person to person
And heavily dependent on temperature you grew up in
As a welder/fabricator I wouldn't dream of going to bed without showering before hand. I would literally turn the bedsheets black.
Even on my days off I wouldnt feel great getting upto 'after hours activities' with a days worth of sweat and other nasties lingering around.
I'm definitely in the shower before bed camp.
Same here 😂
Things I did to make my sleep way better (I have bad insomnia problem). Drink a glass of water with Magnesium 1h before bed, shower in the evening, read a real book with a more yellowish light and keep all other lights off. The only Illumination I use then is the red led of my Garmin Fenix. Even though I am a side sleeper using an extremely flat pillow or none at all reduced my headaches in the morning to almost 0 (contrary to what you said). Took me some getting used to though. But whenever I use a firmer or thicker pillow my headaches are right back the next morning. Btw I started to try this out when I read an article that ergo pillows are actually bad for everyone and I wanted to see if it’s BS or not. My sleep gets better after any sport like 5-6h before bed. But extremely straining sport makes my sleep bad. Like no more marathons or even Halfmaratjons before workdays.
Regarding screen color though I have now read a couple of times that the blue light thing is actually more of a myth. That actually matches my observation that I sometimes fall asleep way better when I watch something boring on my phone lol. But probably the mobile thing is more that you will hop yourselves up too often when you should calm down.
Listening to minute 3:47 while having dinner at 5am hitted me hard 😢. Greetings from spain 🇪🇸
Can you talk about young and old then ancient forests and there co2 uptake differences.
Also at the same time explaining why more co2 with less trees = darker green but doesn't mean its good for the plants or earth.
Very interesting topic.
@@DebunkedOfficial is that a yes?
I sleep perfect in a heartbeat, all night and I don't train at all... Unless you count running in cod training 😂 Maybe because I love sleeping my body loves it as well.
Wow guys get a load of Mr perfect sleep over here next thing you'll be telling us you have a roof over your head too lol like if you're going to lie at least make it believable 😆
Ahh yes, Mr perfect sleep, that's a good nickname actually, thanks for the input 😂 anyway, that's me.. And if you don't believe it I couldn't care less, you're just one guy on the other side of the world 😂
I just wonder why you watched this video-was it to see if you do everything to the letter or see if you’re just naturally a perfect sleeper regardless of your surroundings or exertion levels and such?
I came usually fall asleep when watching UA-cam before bed. I am kinda feeling myself nodding off as i type. So likely goin to bed after this video lol
I usually leave the laptop on so it plays a screensaver and I use that as a night light to see by whenever I have to get up and piss. I usually piss several times during any given night. But I can easily pass out on a lawnchair in the 90 degree sun.
I stayed in a Premier Inn Air con crap no window to open no fan, I couldn't get the setting below 21c . Bad night sleep
You talked about alcohol, but I'm more of a smoker than a drinker. Generally I switch to Indica at night and sativa during the day, but most strains now a days are hybrid so unless you grew it your self you don't know what your getting. Dose any of this matter with sleep cycle, also what about sleepy time THC gummies, I usually eat these before bed when traveling and staying someplace I can't smoke. Usually the gummies don't work unless I eat the entire 200mg pack.
11:45 “that’s a cool fact!” “Oh it’s 10:30” Yayy….
What about reading in bed before sleep. Is it a bad idea to read with an ebook, or there aren't any problem with that kind of light?
5:51 Smoooth operator, smoooth operator 🎵
Where did the timeline chart come from? I’d like to use this as a reference to help with sleep and daily living.
Over the coming week I’ll make a shareable image version and upload it to the community tab. 👍 Thanks
9:14
Due to me being underweight, I am often shivering at 65 degrees Fahrenheit...
Interesting. Everyone I have known with major sleep apnea sleeps mostly on their back, which goes against the research.
Watching this in bed, 3 hours after my midnight shower lmao
Me watching the temperature for sleeping at my country in Central America while at 35 C at night xD
Blue light from screens affecting sleep is a misinterpretation of the data. Much more important is to get a lot of light on the middle of the day..the amount of light entering the eye from screens is not really sufficient to significantly stimulate the melanopsin system. The real issue is sitting in the office midday - which is 1000 - 10000 times dimmer than outside. So insufficient signals are sent to the brain to tell us when is the midday peak.
I love it how I’m watching this before I go to bed 😂
So what if you don't get home from work until 10pm, how are you supposed to relax or even eat without affecting your sleep cycle?
honestly, the light part, we as humans already screwed it up too much, at a normal nighttime we are at home with lights everywhere.
@9:20 (ish) surely this depends on preference. I like a cool environment with no draft. But those who like a draft could have a warmer environment
I sleep 14 hours a day and fall asleep fast because of taking melatonin. I haven't worked out since before I started my night shift job in November. When I did workout, i was always tired afterwards.
How much earlier should I exercise before bed if i shouldn't do it right before but only find the time then sadly
For me there is nothing that keeps me awake for longer than getting into an ice cold bed in winter 😖 The bedroom itself I keep quite cool all year round, but I have an electric blanket on in bed in the winter and hour or so before I go to bed 🤷♀️ I fall asleep very quickly in a nice warm bed but an ice cold bed will see me lying awake for ages until my body heat has warmed up the bed and blankets. I agree on taking a shower before bed ☺️ Very relaxing.
Best thing I did for my sleep was purchase a Wenatex mattress. Expensive unless you notice it’s already outlasted two high quality inner spring mattresses!
@11:26 Asian with bolster laugh 🤣
11:54 - well, there's an alternative here...
if you *don't* watch interesting videos, that may actually make you sleep faster...
what I have been doing for a long time is watching videos without audio about metal pouring (BigStackD) or some restauration videos...
most of the time I don't even finish the video, since I almost left my mobile fall...
I think it deserves a little bit more of investigation...
Interesting proposition, expect there's one big issue with that method. One that I've experienced often.
You often fall asleep at a random position. Tjis is especially true if you're holding a smartphone, as it causes your body -mostly your arms- to go limp at awkward positions. As a result, you end up with a bit of pain if you remain like that for the rest of your night.
I want to participate in such studies if they investigate this. I watch UA-cam videos too 30-60 minutes before sleeping. As long as they are not stimulating videos, I usually have a good night sleep
Watching this right before bed.
So... not using a pillow while sleeping on my back.... got it. Thanks
Decent video for the intended purpose, but there are a few problems, mainly in the sleep position segment. Flat on your back is NOT the best sleeping position, as while it does provide the best passive vertebral alignment it also brings a significant aspiration hazard (choking on your own saliva or nose secretions), the safest sleep position is lateral. Also the second pillow between the knees, while based on real (older) research, has been debunked years ago for multiple reasons, the simplest one being that most people don't stay motionless during sleep and impeding leg movement activates autonomous defense reflexes, stimulating the RAS and consequently lowering sleep quality.
9:49 bro the third one is so me actually
Well screen time can be harmful for sight before bed... But can be negated if you listen to music or some stories before bed.... For some reasons it can make me fall asleep faster
We do what we do and its been serving us like this for many years and never been a problem
When it comes to fitness, it's the thought that counts.
Well, I think, I'm a fat ass...
I always take my toddler out to run and play in the afternoon and I constantly recommend others do it, because not only does it give them some good sensory play but it also burns all that last bit of energy and he sleeps through the night regularly 👍🏻
I stopped sleeping on my back because off all the times I’ve had sleep paralysis, it was always when I slept on my back. Now I mostly sleep on my side or stomach but sometimes I’ll wake up on my back
This explains why I can't sleep even though I do heavy exercise during the day - I feel unfit and unwell.
I've found it's a lot easier to just take melatonin before going to bed, rather than messing around with all this. Sleeping much better now!
I do not use melatonin before bed, it gives me extremely vivid dreams and I tend to feel unrested at night because my dreams are so active.
I sleep but tend to spend the entire night involved in what ever activity I dreamed about. I wake up still wanting to finish whatever I started in my sleep
I never heard of scientific research on weed and sleep, sometimes I feel it helps, other times no, depending on the amount, less usually is better for sleeping, and also, whenever I quit smoking for a few days, dreaming gets realy vivid.
I actually sleep a lot better when i eat heavy food before bed. It just feels so satisfying.
I can’t sleep on my back no matter how tired I am if I try to sleep on my back then I won’t fall asleep and my neck and shoulders hurt every day so no idea what to do there
Watching this while taking a shower at 3AM
... in the shower?
Best tip. Don’t watch this video 6 hours before bedtime: the aggravating, irrelevant, and distracting “music” will put you on edge for hours.
Theres a youtube channel that talks about space and i can never get through the video when its bed time because it puts me right to sleep
insane how bloody complex biology and psychology is, but atleast it's objective and humans can mostly measure it I guess
why does this video suggests us to sleep at 11:00 PM though? I thought we need at least 8 hrs of sleep (I mostly wake up at 5:30)
But what about sleeping with a small light on?
What about music before bed?
Thanks for the video! Has always it was very instructive. However, as a physio I totally disagree with the part talking about the good position for sleeping. There isn't bad or good posture : the best mouvement is the next one ! And it's perfect because you move during sleep. Try to put a pillow between your knees at night and see if it stay until the morning. Not sure that's work very well...
I work as a janitor working from 1:55pm to 10:25pm which is very active, I tried having a cool not cold shower before bed and I'm up till 3am what am I doing wrong?
If the water is on the cool side, your body will raise it's temperature to combat the temperature reduction. Try using warm water instead, but not too hot!
I found the solution for all these. I don't go to bed anymore.
I have to shower before bed, if im not cool enough my RLS goes crazy
Nope. I can eat, drink coffee or just about anything else and I can fall asleep in less than 5 minutes.
I think it still depends on person's body.
Nothing helps me sleep more than watching a ton of UA-cam videos with extra blue light on before bed.
Quick feedback guys, missed animations, for example when changing the pillow height and when putting one in betwen the legs.
The whole of south east Asia cannot sleep properly due to high nighttime temperatures. No way we can get our room down to 18C unless we sleep in a chiller.
Sleep study determined that I only snore when I'm on my back. I mostly sleep on my right side, but I move frequently during sleep. I sleep much better with at least one dog in the bed with me, for some reason.
or you just wear a sleeping mask in bed while a podcast is playing. That way the monitor isn't shining in your eyes in the night and the pesky sunrise doesn't wake you up so early(before noon)
Fun fact: Studies concluded that how much weight you lose has to do with how you *feel* about your activity level, not how much activity you actually do. Specifically, this study was done looking at a person's job. If people merely *think* their job is physically demanding, regardless of how many calories they burn at work, resulted in healthier weights and more weight loss during dieting. Also, I have had insomnia all my life and still do. Before I was taking prescription medications for it, I would often drink beer and other alcohol to help fall asleep. Although it would get me to fall asleep quickly and reliably, I would wake up a few hours later with MAD anxiety and couldn't go back to sleep for the life of me. Often I would feel worse the next day after drinking then if I hadn't slept at all. Case in point: see a doctor if you have trouble sleeping.
EDIT: About the temperature thing, I *always* turn the thermostat down a degree or two when I go to sleep (both in winter and summer) or I literally cannot sleep. I cannot fall asleep when it is too warm, and I set my thermostat to 72 in summer and 67 in winter, which is actually lower than most people I know. I do that primarily to save money, as those settings are the borderline to being uncomfortable. But I set them 1 or 2 degrees lower before I go to bed. If not, I wake up sweating profusely and cannot go back to sleep, if I even fall asleep at all. The week my air conditioner broke and while I was waiting for it to get repaired was probably the worst sleep I ever had in my entire life. All week.
So it turned out the whole video was against my routine,its good the video got uploaded on right time to make some habitual changes
Yeah I work a labor-intensive job from 4pm-10pm, don’t eat until I get home, usually only shower in the mornings, and we keep the thermostat around 74F cause AC bills are expensive. I’m doing literally everything this video tells me not to do out of necessity :/
So. To summarise.
Exercise hours before sleep somehow
Don't eat or drink ANYTHING 3h before bed. (How?!)
Shower
And stare at the fucking ceiling for an hour cause the f am I supposed to do
But I'm confused about the phone light part. Idk if this comment will get any response, but it's worth a tru. So the issue is the light tricking your brain into thinking it's daytime, right? But even if I don't use my phone there's still my bedside lamp which is a source of light. I doubt there's that many people sitting in absolute darkness doing nothing an hour before bed time. So why's the phone light bad by my bedside lamp ok?
Speaking about sleep i'm quite surprised that you don't cover the effect of having sex or masturbating before sleeping, as most of men i know (including my self) do this as a sleeping tablet when they have a random insomnia attack.
Mommy always told me that I should put away the phone and other electronics for an hour. I'm hoping to do that. ^^
My mum told me exactly the same x
You make sure you let your mommy know I said hello and do me a favor and see if she's decided on a name for your new baby sister. thanks chief!
Funnny I’m watching this just before going to bed😂
Stop! ✋😆
Falling asleep to this video as I type
Can you make next video about
Differents between
Driving with 2 wheelers 🏍️.
and 4 wheelers 🚗
Which one is good?
From an environmental perspective or to be the fastest, or the most powerful?
Yeah, the difference is that one has a whole two more wheels than the other one.
@@DebunkedOfficial Yes,
So We can understand advantage and disadvantage by all these reasons
And then we can prepare ourselves to buy or use our vehicles.
