Kimberley Whitehead & Matthew Beaumont; Insomnia: A Cultural History
I did the writing, art, narration and animation. Yes I'm bad at delegating.
Intro Music by Ross Bugden

[Mr_M_History]

The history channel that we all want to be is back!

What I wish the companies realise is that a well rested employee working 7 hours can do far more than an exhausted worker working a 10 hour shift

[Adumb_]

The industrial revolution and its consequences... has turned me into a sleepy little guy.

“I've got a bad case of the 3:00 am guilts - you know, when you lie in bed awake and replay all those things you didn't do right? Because, as we all know, nothing solves insomnia like a nice warm glass of regret, depression and self-loathing.”
― D.D. Barant,

"Our Culture Is Ruining Our Sleep
", has a add for streaming services in the description :D

As someone who has had insomnia for most of my life and it’s hell. Some nights seemingly randomly and usually at least once a month I just can’t sleep and stay up all night resulting in a hellish day afterwards. On a more positive note though, it used to be a lot worse when I was younger happening almost every night at one particularly hellish point but it’s gotten a lot better over time

[lhistoirenousledira]

Nice, I did a piece on that, but in French ;)

[ethanmagnuson]

This is so based. This reminds me a lot of Mark Fisher's book, where he talks about the huge, historic spike in depression, anxiety, and ADHD in recent decades (and not just because of better reporting). This way of life just isn't healthy.

[cebonvieuxjack]

this video comes on the fifth day where I managed to sleep between 1 to 7 am ! I literally can't remember the last time I managed to do that but I've got my fingers crossed it continues and I hope one day I'll be able to do these 11pm-7am kind of nights everyone else seems to have, anyway, great video mate, I'm glad you're back seriously and take care of yourself too bro

[Alex-cwrz]

And now people who are in this rut are being told by influences that they are having too much sleep and to become happy and wealthy you need to sleep 3 hours a night and have a horrible life or your not working hard enough.

[moriohcitizens]

Glad to see you back, always been an inspiration for our channel

[micfatton]

Man you’re not alone. I have not had “good sleep hygiene” primary school. But I am in love with history, geography, economics and political science, along with business. Keep your head up.

[devnull]

Mate you can always rely on the fact that quantity never overcomes quality. Take your time and take things as easy as possible, we'll love your videos no less

[williamsmeds]

Awesome intro. And welcome back, man.

[ihavetowaitdaystochangem]

Growing up is realising that your parents are right about them regretting about giving you a phone

[auber]

He’s back! And the new intro looks really good.

[andreymudik]

Me at 1 am waiting for the video to drop in 5 hours

[danshakuimo]

I still remember in high school and college people would subtly brag by lamenting how little sleep they got, and all nighters were already normalized at the high school level. Absolutely insane, but such were the costs people were willing to pay to keep up with their peers.

[PASTRAMIKick]

oh man and here I am at 2:00AM looking at this and it hasn't even premiered yet very ironic

[nathanshiosaki]

its crazy how your videos seem to be of higher quality everytime you release one
