I recently learned this but mitochondrion is singular and mitochondria is plural. So in the context of, "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" it would be grammatically correct to change "is" to "are." So in this sentence I believe it would be more correct to say, "Mitochondria, are the powerhouse of the cell."
Remember that this is a commercial. Dave is subtly marketing his products he mentioned. His job is to convince you that his products are beneficial by introducing the problem they solve. He has the motive to convince you of his marketing campaign. Regardless of how true this may be, never get your information from a marketing campaign. It's biased. #ThinkBigger
Okay... What products is he trying to sell and how exactly is he to profit from said products? Exactly. You're wrong. What he is saying is true and not biased or with motive other than being helpful. Do the research. Stop trying be clever and cynical and maybe just listen..

My brain has always been much more focused and productive at night for as long as I remember. I feel more energized too, so I usually study or work at night up into the early morning. I've never been an early bird and I don't have diabetes or anything. Daytime can be too much for me, I feel tired by bright sunlight, heat, noise and hectic movement of people in general. I don't feel mentally active much during the day. I've been living in different cities in different parts of the world, but my body still makes me a night owl everywhere I go. Ironically, I've become much healthier mentally and physically now that I am not bound by a daytime routine. I've also found that my body functions best with biphasic sleep of about 8 - 10 hours in total. It seemingly doesn't matter what time/how often I go to sleep in a day, my body just needs a total of 8 - 10 hours each day and it's automatically done, I can't sleep more than that. And when that amount of sleep is not fulfilled, my body will not function optimally until the lost hours of sleep are compensated. I think while most of us are early birds, some of us are just wired to be a night owl.
My situation is much the same as yours, but I still benefit from a blacked out room and sunlight exposure. It's just natural that some people are night owls. In the cavemen days, having everybody be asleep at the same time would have been a huge survival risk. The tribes that did that died out, while the tribes with night guards who went to sleep much later, when most of the nighttime predators weren't on the prowl anymore, survived and passed on their genes. So now we have a mix of people with very different chronotypes. The problem is that the morning larks have this controlling tendency of making everybody adjust to their schedule and they create a lot of misery in the process.
Can I ask how old you are? because i had the same from around age ~14 to age ~22, around that age i started having huge problems with feeling tired/depressed all the time and it took me some experiments and time to figure out that it was my sleeping pattern, i am now 26 years old and have a natural rhythm, wake up with the sun, go to bed when the sun goes down, my sleep quality and general quality of life is back to normal again, but i couldnt have that with my old teenage sleeping pattern
@@GuRuGeorge03 I'm pushing 30. I absolutely agree that the quality of sleep is vital. My stance is that I don't need to force myself to wake up/go to bed early or have a monophasic sleep pattern to have quality sleep. I've tried changing my sleep pattern to be an early riser several times before and it made me groggy as I ended up feeling drowsy and needed to nap during the afternoon despite having been sleeping the whole night. Worse is whenever I have to set my alarm clock to wake me up in the early morning, my body always ends up waking me up about 10 - 15 mins before the alarm goes off. It's almost like my body subconsciously pressures itself on waking up rather than to just rest itself worry-free. But when I switch back to my night-owl mode, I never have such a problem nor do I need extra sleep. It's great that you find the rythm that suits you. A lot of people that I've known at school or work have physical/mental health issues related to sleep despite being an early riser.
Put on blue blocking glasses a couple hours before bed. Uvex has some for like 10 dollars on Amazon that are really good for the price. They’re orange and really nerdy looking but they work. Also, magnesium and omega 3’s. For magnesium you can mix 3 tbsp milk of magnesia with a liter of seltzer water, close the bottle and shake. The reaction results in magnesium bicarbonate. Take 4 oz in the morning and at night for the first few months. That’s the cheapest, most bioavailable magnesium you can get. Magnesium oxide is trash and a waste of money. If you have more money try magnesium threonate. It passes the blood brain barrier very easily.
You need a routine. Get flux or twilight, no screens 1 hour before bed, warm water/tea with 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar right as you're laying in bed. Minimize light pollution in your room. No LEDs, even small ones. Keep your room cool and consider a white noise machine.
I know ppl who worked shifts 2 aunts died between 52 - 56 yrs, including one died of cancer. others who lived unhealthy living habbits also died before 60 or 61, etc. I Myself worked in various night shifts for nearly 10 years, and by 26 + my health got screwed totally , now 31 + and still can't take on stress and most days are dull and listless and only few active positive days. So, sleep well, and live healthy
Would be cool to get some black out curtains with an alarm clock built in that pulls up and let sunshine in when it goes off. Beyond that, have it connect to a sleep tracker and wake you up at the best time. Think of that!
No it's NOT OK to not have enough time to sleep. This is a severe problem. A largely systemic one too, mostly the result of our ridiculous approach to civilization and economics. Of course some individual action can change some of this - but that alone is not enough. Very interesting video though - re: lights.
If you need a TL;DW: For sleep, turning the lights down when late, use black out curtains, don't eat after dark. For waking up, get morning sun or sun lamp or just bright lighting if nothing else.

I have moderate to severe back pain and nerve pain in my lower body from an injury years ago. I sometimes go 3-4 days without sleeping, somewhere around the 3 day mark I usually start having motion hallucinations in my peripheral vision. I have a 16 million (or whatever) color light that I leave set on red and pretty dim. I keep black curtains closed over my bedroom windows which really helps.
I can relate. Abused my body with incorrect exercising, now I have to manage back pain and poor sleep on a regular basis. I bought this light bulb, which emits candlelight colour. Prepares me for sleep really well. Breathing exercises are also incredible, not just for better sleep but for reducing back pain. There are many more things I do. One I would point out is diet. Food that bloats me, such as dairy would put pressure on nerve roots in my back, and basically eating dairy always leads to bad sleep.
@@gricius I've adjusted my diet and lost around a hundred lbs. which has helped a lot. I will have to look into the light deal. I haven't tried that. I'm pretty sure that exercising wrong and bad posture had a part to play with my back troubles, although much of that was due to what the surgeon believed was a broken bone in my vertebra (L-5) while I was being born. He thinks that because I have no history of really bad back problems or pain until I injured my lower back falling in the bathroom ( bc of course I did haha). I did have a lot of pulled muscles in my back when I was younger which also fits with the Dr's supposition. Thank you for responding,it's always helpful to hear what other folks do for back problems - also it's always nice to have an extra reminder that I'm not alone.
I sleep better when there's low light rather than darkness, low literally in the sense of height. The kind of light you'd have around a campfire. Yellowish, dim light near floor level. Also I sleep better when can hear people talking rather than complete silence. So long as no one calls my name.
I've been successful with it. Lower all light levels dramatically 1hr before bed (smartphone included, modern ones have night mode now) its that simple.
Lol I predicted the comment section for this one very accurately. Look, I get it, sometimes Dave Asprey has been spouting BS, as with mycotoxins in coffee. However, as far as I can tell, he is very much on point in this video. Though most of this is really common sense if you think about it. And yeah, he does have stuff to sell (though he really only mentions the glasses here. Turning off the lights and talking a walk are free). Imagine you're a smart guy and an entrepreneurial type and you're into health topics. Wouldn't you want to create products that you think are helpful and that you would like to use yourself? And wouldn't you mention these products when you're discussing these topics? What good is a great product if nobody knows about it? Not everybody who's got something to sell is trying to fuck you over. And if you really hate Mr. Asprey that much, you can get these types of blue-light-blocking glasses from lots of other manufacturers, too. They really do work.
So if blackout curtains aren't enough, what is? Are there screens that can darken your room even more? I'd imagine you need something that perfectly covers the entire surface of the window.
Right. He didn’t give us any suggestions of what to do beyond black curtains. Why mention those are not enough if you’re not going to tell us the alternative?
Sometimes I hear people brag that they can fall asleep anywhere, and most of them are not children or teenagers, they are full-grown adults at least the age of 35. I usually think that is not something to be proud of - it means your body desperately wants to have a chance to repair itself while you are sleeping.
So it's cancer and diabetes for me. - I regularly go 2-3 days without sleep. Right now I'm awake at hour 48 actually, and still not tired. I'm not insomniac just a weird, irregular (non-)sleeper. I also tend to avoid all light sources except my computer screen (Which is on the lowest brightness setting and 50% reduced contrast.) I pay little to no sleep debt either; After I start to feel tired (~70h mark) a mere 10 hours is enough to completely regenerate - I wake up naturally. Of course I can pretend to be normal and put myself to bed every evening like a normal human being would, and then it's the prescribed amount of 9 hours sleep for me. But it's a chore to stick to that schedule and forcibly go to bed in a not completely exhausted state. If I stay up all night then go about my day as if it was a regular / fresh start of the cycle, I will sleep 10 hours that night (Diagnose me.)
Well, that worked for me, after I started using it few months ago, but I still have a dilemma, is it better to leave the curtains blacking my room at night, so sun doesn't naturally wake me up and have unhealthy morning clock wake up or should I rather leave the night lights from the outside street coming to my room and the sun wake me up in the morning so I don't need to be destroyed by morning clock wake up?
I agree with (& practice) his basic premise. However, my mitochondria are broken from a systemic disease (ME/CFS). A sleep study revealed I have a severely broken sleep cycle (a common symptom). Often a disease *causes* a sleep disorder, *NOT the other way around* !
Hey i have the same thing. 4 years of hardly being able to do anything. Good Luck to you man. I hope sciences figures it out. Nothing works for me, have been everywhere tried everything.
I also live in the north and it is a bloody nightmare. In the winter there isn't nearly enough hours of light to keep me awake during the whole day, and in the summer there is no way of naturally getting sleepy at the "right time" nor blocking all the light during the night. I have suffered from depression (probably SAD) and so have lots of people I know. I often find myself relying on alcohol and caffeine to medicate my sleep cycle, which in the long term only makes things worse.
You are telling the fact because in ancient times when there wasn't electricity people were used to do so there was candles or something else after the sun set so they had quality sleep becoz after sun set there was dull or no light available for them which prevented them from many diseases such as depression etc and made them physically and mentally strong.
As if a dim sliver of light, away from your eyes, coming from the sides of blackout curtains and a brightly lit room were the same thing... Ok, I'll pretend I buy that.

Somehow I doubt that wearing sunglasses in the summer can lead to seasonal depression. This guy gets some stuff right but always takes some logical conclusion too far.
@@stelmarsky6778 Sunlight has antidepressive properties, yes. Sunlight, at least where the majority of people live, is abundant in their own summer. Sunglasses in winter? I can see that exacerbating SAD caused in part by deficiencies. In summer in a continental or in-between climate zone his claim is preposterous, and actually harmful. We need sunglasses to protect our eyes from UV radiation, which is ABUNDANT in summer same as sunlight. Wearing sunglasses in abundant sunlight during the longest days of the year will not cause any deficiencies related to sunlight, especially when it is SKIN exposure that allows us to create so many of these regulating vitamins.
i don't understand the argument "black out every light" ... our ancestors slept under a bright sky of stars and moon. so there was light. not the blue light from our screens, but still light
@@Bakwazan I guess you're right. I was mixing not sleeping with Fatal Family Insomnia, which is more complex, it seems. Still I think those ppl go longer than 11 days.
What if I can not "turn of" all lights because it is hot and I want to leave my window open so I can breath? Should I prioritize your tips and sweat like shit?
This does not solve anything. Because I have Trouble sleeping. You Just made me feel worse about it. It takes me 2-3 hours to fall asleep. And I wake up 1-2 hours before my alarm clock goes of. So yeah thanks for the obvious.
It's like a trend to not sleep. You're a lazy person if you do sleep 8 hours.. it's kinda silly, but then again, people who sleep good are most of the time beautiful and smart, those who dont look like Donald Trump, and yeah sure, you get an extra 3 or 4 hours in the day to do something, but those who sleep will have 15 to 30 extra years to live 🤦🏻♂️😂
yeah it really is silly. fields that require peak performance like sports actually have the trend of sleeping as much as possible, for example roger federer sleeps 12 hours a day, the grindy fields are obviously more widely spread though and when hours put in trump peak performance then being able to cut out sleeping time gives you a huge advantage. that is why you see many financially succesful people who sleep less than 6 hours a day, but the problem is like you mentioned, that "success" shouldnt be measured by the number in your bank account, quality of life is more than that, and lets be real, sleep is fucking amazing, so why cut time off of something that is amazing :D
@@GuRuGeorge03 yeah, it's super common for people to sleep 4 hours now days, and then we make it the norm for some reason.. my mom is like that, she never sleeps, and she makes fun of me for sleeping 8 hours during the week and around 9 on my days off. Quality of life is not just a number, like for sure having money is GREAT, but if it's at the expense of your health, then what's the point.

I can sleep anywhere anytime I programmed comfort time the brightness of the room the temperature you can train yourself to not need them it's just uncomfortable to do sleeping on a cement floor when your bed is right beside you with blankets and pillows. What if I don't have beds blankets and pillows one day that would probably be the day I need to sleep the most to make sure I'm regenerating and recuperating so if I require no Creature Comforts for sleep for the ability to fall asleep anywhere with noise light Comfort is not a concern so flying in the wrong direction with your kid getting to bed at 1. Course you slept well you're mentally and physically exhausted from travelling imagine you're staying in a Manhattan hotel that is luxurious even if modestly and I have worked in high-end hotels and they do not purchase a single bed that is uncomfortable or hard to sleep in so you were set up perfectly to sleep well because you came from the west coast to the east coast which means you went back in time so you thought it was 4 a.m. or your body. Also the hotel itself would Grant you a level of subconscious security because the concierge the doorman the Bell man the Porter's everybody's so friendly and his people everywhere and they're wearing masks and there's hand sanitizer your room would have been thoroughly cleaned there's no real concerned so you saying you slept well in a hotel bed after flying across the country with a child which during the pandemic would be emotionally and psychologically taxing and physically where's my child does my child have their masks so on and so forth would be the most exhausting experience as a parent I think I'm not one but if I had my nephew's in that situation I will be on high alert for anyting because I need to protect and make sure because they're so young they're not doing something that could put them in Jeopardy that they don't know especially with the pandemic obviously you slept well the security guards help to at the hotel I don't find it amazing that you were able to sleep I would have been more surprised if you didn't. The body cannot take that much stressed in a day and flying travelling with a child during a pandemic must be the most terrorizing frightening situation of parent could be in. I quite the coronavirus to playing Russian roulette with a ghost that you don't know where the ghost is when or if they will appear or if they even pulled the trigger and if a bullet went off or not you're literally fighting a ghost that plays Russian roulette with you metaphorically you don't see the virus you don't know who has it you can't tell when you've got it what it's on and you won't know for up to two weeks and you've gotten sick or who even has given you the illness tell me that doesn't sound like a damn ghost playing Russian roulette with covid-19 bullets he doesn't shoot lead he shoot covin but I don't find your story believable you're not thinking big I expect more from this Channel honestly I am not traditionally educated as a university or College trade school injury and then educated myself for a decade and besides the fact that you're not coming across as believable or very credible or maybe exaggerating of course you slept only a monster like me wouldn't

Of course I can pretend to be normal and put myself to bed every evening like a normal human being would, and then it's the prescribed amount of 9 hours sleep for me. But it's a chore to stick to that schedule and forcibly go to bed in a not completely exhausted state. If I stay up all night then go about my day as if it was a regular / fresh start of the cycle, I will sleep 10 hours that night (Diagnose me.)
Well, that worked for me, after I started using it few months ago, but I still have a dilemma, is it better to leave the curtains blacking my room at night, so sun doesn't naturally wake me up and have unhealthy morning clock wake up or should I rather leave the night lights from the outside street coming to my room and the sun wake me up in the morning so I don't need to be destroyed by morning clock wake up?
Black out your room and get a light alarm clock.
This is basically an advert for his products.
Thank you.
What’s so wrong with that?
@@jameshardin1786 not everyone wants to watch an ad.
I agree with (& practice) his basic premise.
However, my mitochondria are broken from a systemic disease (ME/CFS). A sleep study revealed I have a severely broken sleep cycle (a common symptom).
Often a disease *causes* a sleep disorder, *NOT the other way around* !
Hey i have the same thing. 4 years of hardly being able to do anything. Good Luck to you man. I hope sciences figures it out. Nothing works for me, have been everywhere tried everything.
Interesting, how about if I get really good sleep everyday, but just at different times every day?
My sister had regular sleeping hours and just died of cancer..
I also live in the north and it is a bloody nightmare. In the winter there isn't nearly enough hours of light to keep me awake during the whole day, and in the summer there is no way of naturally getting sleepy at the "right time" nor blocking all the light during the night.
I have suffered from depression (probably SAD) and so have lots of people I know. I often find myself relying on alcohol and caffeine to medicate my sleep cycle, which in the long term only makes things worse.
You are telling the fact because in ancient times when there wasn't electricity people were used to do so there was candles or something else after the sun set so they had quality sleep becoz after sun set there was dull or no light available for them which prevented them from many diseases such as depression etc and made them physically and mentally strong.
Dr. Gundry, Dr. Hyman and Dave Asprey really know what they are talking about.
Great video. THANK YOU DAVE!
np
Quite a good video, but not eating after the sun goes eat can be conter productive. Trying to sleep hungry isn't the best idea
Why is trying to sleep hungry bad idea??can you explain
It can be done with Shilajit.
Correlation does not prove causation. Noticing a trend in one stat to another does not proved they are inherently related.
Go out into the hot summer sun without sunglasses? But I'm autistic with sensory issues...
Nice work for sure!
As if a dim sliver of light, away from your eyes, coming from the sides of blackout curtains
and a brightly lit room were the same thing... Ok, I'll pretend I buy that.
Link to the ring? I'd like a health monitor. I don't want a smart watch that is going to try and get my attention every second
Oh god, I just realize i'm in deep flipping trouble. Diabetes!? Cancer!?
It's worse than you think; according to the latest studies, scientists have found that you have a 100% risk of death if you're alive
@@thstroyur I'll kill myself before I let that happen
@@thstroyur Darn, glad I smoke. Then I have a good excuse.
@@klaasklapsigaar1081 Us smokers reduce the cost for society for medical issues. We are not alive long enough to cause late life drain on the health care system.
@@sussekind9717 Yes, us smokers should be considered noblemen. Live hard, pay and provide, die young and use less healthcare as a result.
And the most important point is that with dimming glasses you look damn cool!
Your word is "mitochondrial".
Can I hear it in a sentence, please?
"Even Master Yoda doesn't have a mitochondrial count that high."
Reporter : Mr. President , you haven't followed through with any of your promises. What do you say about that ?
President : Well , I might-a-conned-you-all ( mitochondrial ).

@@jacobkuca7711 .........
just go stand in the hallway and stop disrupting my class.
Midichlorians are the powerhouse of the cell
I live in BC there’s barely sun. I hate it here. I need to move for my health. It’s a buzzkill here. I can’t keep up with all these health tips.
So ummm, what if ive been sleeping an average of 5-6 hours every night for the past 3 years? Im 16 now
How good is the pillow app to track sleep... or how do i get me a ring like that
Why watch hours of matierial that dont change your cellular structure or microbioal function
Quality of the guests on Big Think going down I see.
Imagine the dystopia we live in when the guy telling you that sleep is as important as water says it's actually okay to not have time to sleep, and offers advice on "sleep-hacking", instead of halting the presses and screaming "WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING, GUYS?! WE ARE ROBBING OURSELVES OF OUR BASIC NECESSITIES FOR SOMEONE ELSES PROFIT MARGIN! STOP IT!".
But, no, it's sleep-hacking, that will help more. 😢
Ironic that you film this with a bright white light background, which triggers my headaches. FYI
It's 2 AM ... Night Owl here👁👁
Woot woohoo!
Just to clarify, DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN. Just look at the reflected light.
Exactly 😂
Fucking thank you. Jesus.
Does anyone know what is the sleep tracking ring he mentioned?
I suppose it’s the Oura ring
He likely has a financial interest plugging that needless crap.
Curious thing is I sleep better with day light than in darkness.
It may be affected by your circadian rhythm, and this rhythm can change. Do you work night shift?
Whats the ring?
Somehow I doubt that wearing sunglasses in the summer can lead to seasonal depression. This guy gets some stuff right but always takes some logical conclusion too far.
I don't think you've studied this in depth.
@@stelmarsky6778 Sunlight has antidepressive properties, yes. Sunlight, at least where the majority of people live, is abundant in their own summer. Sunglasses in winter? I can see that exacerbating SAD caused in part by deficiencies. In summer in a continental or in-between climate zone his claim is preposterous, and actually harmful. We need sunglasses to protect our eyes from UV radiation, which is ABUNDANT in summer same as sunlight. Wearing sunglasses in abundant sunlight during the longest days of the year will not cause any deficiencies related to sunlight, especially when it is SKIN exposure that allows us to create so many of these regulating vitamins.
How do I get the ring?
Bullsht detector: "my patented glasses"
I know I'm being extremely shallow here, but it's difficult to take advice seriously by a guy wearing amber glasses.
So happy to see old Dave "full-of-shit" Asprey here on Big Think. What are you hawking now?
First I thought you were Robert downey Jr..😃
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist
Oh, so he wants you to buy his glasses...
Here is a suggestion for you. Get rid of your dazzling bright white background and use something that has the same brightness as your face.
i don't understand the argument "black out every light" ... our ancestors slept under a bright sky of stars and moon. so there was light. not the blue light from our screens, but still light
Yeah, it does sound like a hack
Scientist,Doctors, and Parents:You need 9 hrs of sleep.
Education system in Philippines:No!!!!!
That's basically all education Systems unfortunately lol
So I'm supposed to trust a guy who says he's a hacker and talks about hacking sleep?
How unfortunate that this guy looks like Kevin Spacey does right after he's fondled one of the lighting technicians.
Data please. Sounds like opinion unsupported by reality.
Yeah.. but you can go more time without sleep then without food
You can actually fast for months if you're high body fat but sleepless record is 11 days or something.
@@Bakwazan I guess you're right. I was mixing not sleeping with Fatal Family Insomnia, which is more complex, it seems. Still I think those ppl go longer than 11 days.
What if I can not "turn of" all lights because it is hot and I want to leave my window open so I can breath? Should I prioritize your tips and sweat like shit?
Think primitive - at sunrise go out and look for food; at dusk go to cave and sleep..
Bullshitt, he didn’t invent anti blue light glasses
3:02
This does not solve anything. Because I have Trouble sleeping. You Just made me feel worse about it. It takes me 2-3 hours to fall asleep. And I wake up 1-2 hours before my alarm clock goes of.
So yeah thanks for the obvious.
How can I take you seriously while you wear orange glasses?
This was probably filmed in the evening, and he wore those because they block blue wavelengths.
It's like a trend to not sleep. You're a lazy person if you do sleep 8 hours.. it's kinda silly, but then again, people who sleep good are most of the time beautiful and smart, those who dont look like Donald Trump, and yeah sure, you get an extra 3 or 4 hours in the day to do something, but those who sleep will have 15 to 30 extra years to live 🤦🏻♂️😂
yeah it really is silly. fields that require peak performance like sports actually have the trend of sleeping as much as possible, for example roger federer sleeps 12 hours a day, the grindy fields are obviously more widely spread though and when hours put in trump peak performance then being able to cut out sleeping time gives you a huge advantage. that is why you see many financially succesful people who sleep less than 6 hours a day, but the problem is like you mentioned, that "success" shouldnt be measured by the number in your bank account, quality of life is more than that, and lets be real, sleep is fucking amazing, so why cut time off of something that is amazing :D
@@GuRuGeorge03 yeah, it's super common for people to sleep 4 hours now days, and then we make it the norm for some reason.. my mom is like that, she never sleeps, and she makes fun of me for sleeping 8 hours during the week and around 9 on my days off. Quality of life is not just a number, like for sure having money is GREAT, but if it's at the expense of your health, then what's the point.
👌 Try and fail, but don't fail to try. A dude by the name of @evenkingsfall (his insta) says you have to THINK BIG to WIN BIG! Always keep that approach to life! Don't stop the hard work 🔥
Huckster.
I'm not going to trust a guy that wears yellow glasses
I love his cocaine glasses
everyone needs to take action i have been in the streets fighting this all alone why is no one taking action ? stop waiting for someone to do it for you , this is not hard to stop but you cant do it sitting behind your computers and dont tell me you dont have the means if i can do it so can you , but i am all alone lost my whole family my job all income but i stil keep going can any of you think about the children please stop just sitting around action is needed like yesterday

He canNOT finish a sentence without trying to sell his product. 🤐🙄🤥
Yeah... But why wear those ugly glasses for the video?!
I can sleep anywhere anytime I programmed comfort time the brightness of the room the temperature you can train yourself to not need them it's just uncomfortable to do sleeping on a cement floor when your bed is right beside you with blankets and pillows. What if I don't have beds blankets and pillows one day that would probably be the day I need to sleep the most to make sure I'm regenerating and recuperating so if I require no Creature Comforts for sleep for the ability to fall asleep anywhere with noise light Comfort is not a concern so flying in the wrong direction with your kid getting to bed at 1. Course you slept well you're mentally and physically exhausted from travelling imagine you're staying in a Manhattan hotel that is luxurious even if modestly and I have worked in high-end hotels and they do not purchase a single bed that is uncomfortable or hard to sleep in so you were set up perfectly to sleep well because you came from the west coast to the east coast which means you went back in time so you thought it was 4 a.m. or your body. Also the hotel itself would Grant you a level of subconscious security because the concierge the doorman the Bell man the Porter's everybody's so friendly and his people everywhere and they're wearing masks and there's hand sanitizer your room would have been thoroughly cleaned there's no real concerned so you saying you slept well in a hotel bed after flying across the country with a child which during the pandemic would be emotionally and psychologically taxing and physically where's my child does my child have their masks so on and so forth would be the most exhausting experience as a parent I think I'm not one but if I had my nephew's in that situation I will be on high alert for anyting because I need to protect and make sure because they're so young they're not doing something that could put them in Jeopardy that they don't know especially with the pandemic obviously you slept well the security guards help to at the hotel I don't find it amazing that you were able to sleep I would have been more surprised if you didn't. The body cannot take that much stressed in a day and flying travelling with a child during a pandemic must be the most terrorizing frightening situation of parent could be in. I quite the coronavirus to playing Russian roulette with a ghost that you don't know where the ghost is when or if they will appear or if they even pulled the trigger and if a bullet went off or not you're literally fighting a ghost that plays Russian roulette with you metaphorically you don't see the virus you don't know who has it you can't tell when you've got it what it's on and you won't know for up to two weeks and you've gotten sick or who even has given you the illness tell me that doesn't sound like a damn ghost playing Russian roulette with covid-19 bullets he doesn't shoot lead he shoot covin but I don't find your story believable you're not thinking big I expect more from this Channel honestly I am not traditionally educated as a university or College trade school injury and then educated myself for a decade and besides the fact that you're not coming across as believable or very credible or maybe exaggerating of course you slept only a monster like me wouldn't
Is he a computer scientist?
my BS radar is triggered

Sleep masks are cheap! Works for me !!!
what is he wearing wtf
