  • Why do all my friends say their van bed is the best they've ever slept in? Here are 4 reasons why I personally think many people in vans get BETTER SLEEP! It's probably not what you think. Remember, sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health! This is important stuff!

      More coming very soon too! I have another edited, I just have to get my FAA Part 107 Drone Cert before I upload, or it's illegal to upload, since my channel is monetized. I finally have time to just concentrate on videos again, more coming very soon, and expect some cool drone footage now too!

    A large reason you get better sleep in a van is it's a faraday cage. Lots of 2.4 ghz, 5.8ghz wifi, and tons of frequencies of cellular devices (hundreds in a single block) interfere with sleep. They induce a very low electrical current when your body absorbs them. The more powerful the interference the harder for your brain to maintain "sleep brain waves".
    Another big thing is temp. I'm renting a house right now and even 8+ hours after the hottest part of the day it still stays close to that temp. Want to cool it down? pay A BUTTLOAD of money on AC and it still barely holds temp close to outdoor at night.

    The reason is because we are "den animals." Our vans are modern caves. Most mammals have an instinct to seek safety in confined or sheltered spaces. Den animals like caves or cozy burrows where there is a high level of physical security, warmth and shelter from the outside environment. When we encounter a place like that, we call it "cozy." Coziness is a place that gives us the warmth and security our instinct craves without us necessarily being consciously aware of it. Hence, we sleep the deepest in the coziest places - which are...

      Oh, interesting. Can you tell me more about what you heard? It wasn't clipping. I am using a Zoom H6 to record audio now. Line in to camera so it syncs with video. I did actually have the wrong I/O from the zoom H6 this time, which made some unwanted artifacts in the sound, but I didn't think it sounded overly loud. What device are you listening on?

    I have a different theory, the house is stationary and the van will sway from your movements and the wind which is very relaxing. Sleeping on a sail boat is also very relaxing because of the waves and wind.

    I always have thought about going for van life. Convincing my girlfriend to join me is what's hard to achieve as I live in NYC so much more ideal than the current situation with the ridiculous rent prices. Oh by the way your microphone is clipping ( to loud ) causes distortion in my studio, my equalizer filtered most out but nothing is perfect. Just turn down the input on your microphone about 3 to 6 decibels. Thanks for the video and knowledge man! Knowledge is power, let's spread it!!!!

    I dunno. I think you're right about everything but when I was homeless and had to live in my car I was always aware of potential danger, especially after a guy was murdered on the sidewalk next to where I parked. But the difference is choice. If you plan like vanlifers do, it's a bit different.

    • @royliber3824
      @royliber3824 2 роки тому

      I do agree however that it can feel quite safe sleeping in a van, even with all the dangers outside. In a house, people know theres people in there but in a van its not certain that theres someone inside... Sure thieves might try to bust into your van, but if you don't give away too much outside I don't think they will have reason to do it (regardless for stealing the vehicle itself). Especially if you make it hard-time for people to even see whats going on. You could also install multiple locks for each door just to be more on the safe side. For me atleast, I enjoy sleeping more in tighter places where I can't be seen that much especially in here where theres a lot of insulation going on. Also having a firearm definitely makes you feel more safe... This van is also built very stealthy and most people would probably ignore it as they pass-by.
