used to suffer from insomnia. i'm so glad i discovered ASMR for sleep. people are able to use my videos too and that makes me happy. i've found changing my mattress helped a LOT too.

I’m 13 and when I heard teens should get 8-10 hours I actually laughed. I wake up at 6:05 and most kids in my grade have to wake up earlier. By the time I’m done with my homework and everything it’s 10, and by the time I am able to fall asleep after I can’t stop thinking about all the stress in my day, it’s close to 11:30, meaning I get about 6 1/2 hours. I tell this to my friends and most laugh and tell me that I’m lucky. Conclusion: many teens are sleep deprived

Almost 6 am, I've been awake all night. Insomnia is wrecking my life😩

Well I guess I'm failing my finals either way.

Why has youtube been recommended me things about sleep depravation even in school. I feel like the world is spying on me...

[recoil]

Here's the thing about all nighters - I may not remember stuff as well as I would if I slept, but that only applies to information I have reasonably fresh in my brain. If I never read the stuff or it's been a while, I need to go through it regardless of my sleep situation. Done both and not studying is definitely worse.

I started bawling this morning because I'm so tired. But I dont really understand it. I go to bed at like 9ish and wake out at 7 for school.

[ErinShellyMason]

I love sleep but also have a sleep disorder. I’m unlucky. I have to take a cocktail of meds/supplements at night just to get to sleep 😂 not always as easy as “just sleep”

[theandonlytrav]

This spoke to me on so many levels. I have multiple sleep disorders and obstructive sleep apnea. It is so difficult to function...

[stevef]

Yes go to sleep, best advice ever. How do you do that as a functioning adult with ADHD. I work days and evenings. Two jobs. Sleeping tablets don't work, everything my doctor recommends does not work. Cognitive behavioural issues etc. Anyone, help.

[Dranime-tvqm]

Love her attitude also have a test tomorrow and my friends were doing all nighters, thought they'd love watching this before starting.

[alexia-mariechan]

I’m 14 and I get 6.30-7 hours of sleep a day and have been doing so for the past year or so.
*clicks on video*

Me: oh crap
