It's 6am, I haven't slept yet, and YouTube recommends me this.

I have never felt more attacked in my entire life.

[DelicateMoonMistress]

Anybody else watching this as they are sleep deprived? 😅

[ninaangelique]

I knew sleep was important but I didn't know how much the lack of sleep can really effect you. Now to figure out how to get more...LoL

[ava]

Going on almost no sleep for 2 days and I thought I saw weird 3D wiggling green fibers growing up thru the carpet I was like omg Im seeing things

[johnwahl]

or any store that sells anything in my country or online

[LisaNVME]

I'm a new mom of a 6 month baby. I don't remember sleep.

[johnwahl]

Or at Walgreens or Target where I used to work


Or Lowe’s for appliances or anything they sell there

[johnwahl]

Yeah I need money to buy anything at Publix I need or at Whole Foods

[richardrother]

Now I suppose more than ever: pharmaceutical ingredients such as Agomelatin (related to the body's own hormon Melatonin) are of great importance in the treatment of depressive disorders(?)

[ZeroOito]

[lucydoe]

Lmao I dont know about everyone else but most of these disorders are what cause my lack of sleep

[khiderhassan]

This is my problem and may be have side effects!

[johnwahl]

I get 7 to 9 nine hours every night .


For almost seven months now


But I always got plenty of sleep my whole life


So why are strangers questioning me about am I sleeping ok


Or why do I have to explain to them or anybody how many hours



I don’t but they still wonder and ask me time and time again


But in public no one ever says a word to me except the cashiers which is normal



But abnormal for me to have such a hard time buying an expensive house here and having it remodeled so it is clean and nice and newer like I’d like

[johnwahl]

I also don’t like the smell of cigarettes

[johnwahl]

People I don’t know never stop asking me how many hours of sleep I get


It is none of their business

[johnwahl]

Casual effect


I need a new dictionary not just the Bible

[johnwahl]

Or pizza or fast fried food and coke and Pepsi

[johnwahl]

Almighty God in thee New Testament says something in thee King James Version about


Busybodies

[johnwahl]

I smell marijuana on Windy Hill road once


Or in thee parking lot at different Publix’s I buy from


At Papa John’s parking lot or on the road near Perimeter mall
