    Your cat has no idea that you are talking to your mic/camera on your pc it thinks you are just standing up rattling off noises and it senses your anxiety and is trying to calm you down by rubbing on your legs. How awesome are pets! Awesome how they try to comfort their owners.

      I used to get ultra frequent nightmares until my cat started accompanying me to bed. She would purr on my chest until I fell asleep every night of my life. If I had a nightmare anyway, she'd come back and comfort me a second time. I havent had one in 6 months or more. 🥰

    I’ve dealt with chronic nightmares all my life, and had sleep paralysis a handful of times.
    Two dreams I remember the most are both about bees?? One was just a 2 second dream that was nothing but utter darkness but a bee stung my arm so hard I woke up???
    The other was a dream where I worked at a lab but all of us had no idea what any of the buttons in this sealed off room did, so someone randomly pressed one, and the room FILLED with bees until we all suffocated and died. And each time we died, we’d magically reappear in the exact same situation, and the person always felt compelled to press the button and couldn’t physically stop himself. I think we died like at least 10 times in a row before I woke up 💀
    I’ve also been lucid dreaming for the first time in my whole life the last couple months, which is weird as hell. I’m not great at controlling things, but I’m aware I’m dreaming, and I frequently have dreams now where I “wake up” into another dream, several times. Always aware I’m still dreaming. 🤔

      Okay, here's the reason I think that that works. Obviously, war is horrible (and all my hopes go towards war being only in pop-culture from now, and not in real life, even though that's never going to happen), BUT when you realise that all the fighting is happening over THERE, and not close to you, it gives you a sense of comfort.
      It's like you're very much aware of the danger, but also know that you're far enough away that you won't have to experience it. It's a weird thing. That's why people (like me) love rain and winter and snow. The whole coziness thing is because outside, out there, is miserable, but inside your homes, you're safe and secure. And cozy, away from it all.

    11:20 as a truck driver, that noise when I'm laying down for the night will put me to sleep easily. Especially in the real thing, and it's gently rocking you to sleep. Not everyones main choice, but if you drive a sleeper, you probably know what I mean.

      @Cobalon not gas but diesel, yes, but depending on how old the truck is, it takes up maybe 0.6 gallons an hour when ideal. In the grand scheme of things, that ain't much when you have usual at minimum a 145gal tank. The thing with trucks is that there are some times you have to keep the truck running, not just for comfort but for the trucks' well-being. When it gets below freezing the risk of diesel freezing or turing into gel is major and yes they have anti gel stuff you can put in thr tank but sometimes it's better to not risk it and keep it warm plus when it's really hot or cold you would much rather be comfortable and get a good night sleep than worry about a few bucks in fuel especially if you are company driver like me and don't pay for it anyway lol.

    Hey, I'm narcoleptic.
    What you've described is actually cataplexy, another condition that most narcoleptics also have. But to be specific, the primary symptom of narcolepsy is a FUBAR sleep cycle where your phases go in random orders and timings. The tell-tale sign is that we often go straight into REM sleep, which IIRC is Phase 4, and is supposed to happen like an hour later. It makes for shitty sleep, and therefore lots of sleep deprivation.
    So yeah, most narcoleptics do become paralyzed (and often unconscious) in exciting/stressful situations as you described, AND sleep like shit. Cataplexy+Narcolepsy.

    I only have a few odd dreams that are uncomplicated/not just horrifying.
    This is my favorite simple dream:
    We were at an outdoor party, at my grandmother's house (which was really just a shack, with a garden, in a rotating field), and I remember people milling about in nice clothes while I was looking for my brother. When I found him, I knew it was him, but in the dream, he was a human-shaped pile of lint in a fancy suit. He didn't say anything, he just lifted a corncob pipe and gestured a greeting in my general direction. Made total sense at the time.

    In my high school psychology class, we had an entire unit on dreams, and we were even given dream packets(I still have mine) to fill out ourselves. Long story short, what we had been taught was that dreams are there to help us solve problems in our current/previous day-to-day lives, give our conscious selves an easier-to-digest storyline about the things we're dealing with, and our nightmares are suspected to help keep us vigilant and alive for the possibility of us needing to use our fight-or-flight reflexes(nightmares are essentially personalized, survival scenario simulators that your brain develops and plays for your conscious to see how well you'd react to said scenarios).

    • @MentalBloopers

      I learned something very similar in high school but the new consensus is that there are just random bundles of neurons firing for the use it or lose it hypothesis. Dreams don’t make sense and are difficult to remember bc they don’t represent conscious brain function.

    • @Dichotious
      @Dichotious Год назад +2

      @@MentalBloopers (Not an argument here) I, personally, disagree with the 'use it or lose it' hypothesis; why would our brains make up a bunch of stuff that we've never seen, done, or had to deal with, then put a level of our consciousness through it, be it random or not? Then just shuffle through it all and delete/keep whatever it can(in essence, why would our brains make something, for seemingly no reason, then getting rid of it)? Also, I agree, dreaming is, very obviously, not a part of conscious decisions and rationales; that is what makes it so elusive to our conscious selves. Dreaming only makes sense to the parts of our brains that participate in it. We need to look there for our answers about the dreaming worlds our minds exist in.

    the weirdest dream i have ever had (get prepared for an entire english essay) was going to the toilet in my new house upstairs; the toilet I used was in the bath (I'm not making this up) but for some reason this toilet gave me the runs. So, I went to the top of the shower (as you do) and went to the toilet up there and did my business. at this point I was certain that my dreams were telling me something about my bowels when I looked down and, I had a mermaid tail? There was then a cut and I was standing in a warehouse filled with plastic toys and I started shrinking, fast. The toys came to life and stomped me to death. I woke up and the real nightmare begun; Monday morning.

    Side effect of my SSRI is incredibly vivid dreams. It's gotten to a point where there's a continuity. I'll think about previous dreams while in my dream. Situations persist night after night. There are amalgamations of real places, smashed together, but every night they're the same.
    Also a lot of the dreams involve time skipping. Being rushed, then realizing you're late and don't have a ride. That's fun.

I actually called emergency services it scared me so bad. The lady was super nice, and once she realized I wasn't on drugs and had just woken up, she kinda explained what happened. Apparently it's not entirely uncommon for people to call for that.

    As someone who low key really enjoys the clatter of a diesel engine (big or small), I can see myself falling asleep to the sound of a semi engine, if the volume is low enough (or any monotonous white noise like sound, really),
    Also, I`ve been falling asleep with some background noise for years now, and I guess a result of stress of adulting (and a result of both family and career related problems) is that I would find myself obsessing over problems or just having my mind wander instead of blanking out so that I could sleep, and through trial and error in an attempt to get the bad thoughts to stop, I found that some kind of white noise in the background worked really well at giving that part of my brain that would wander and be really loud a thing to focus on (instead of bad thoughts), so that the rest of my brain can disconnect and I eventually fall asleep. My go to is RUclips videos (usually something low key, like LGR or Technology connections, though other similer channels work too, so long as there aren`t too many loud noises), but I find the most effective thing by far for me is rain or fireplace background noise, I think in part because of cozy memories in those conditions, and I feel myself relaxing like melting butter when I hear rain...

    back in high school i used to get migraines. the easiest way to deal with one is often to just go to sleep so nothing can make it worse. the downside to this is apparently an increased chance of sleep paralysis. I remember one time i hallucinated my mother coming into the room (i know because i asked her and she wasn't home at the time) as well as a few weird memories being distorted into waking dreams. It doesn't sound particularly terrifying, but just having to lie there while things happened around me and I had zero way of interacting was terrifying. Sleep is downright weird, incredibly subjective, strangely inconsistent, yet very necessary. It always surprises me when I hear that scientists in the field barely know what's going on and why we sleep. Sure, we know a lot of stuff that Tugg didn't bring up, like how sleeping will seemingly "clean" our brain of a buildup of chemicals throughout the day, but relative to other subjects, the scientific consensus is anything but concrete. great video, you tugged on a lot of my memories

    When I was a kid (between like 7ish to like 12) I had a recurring nightmare about the hallway balcony on the second floor of my house. My bedroom was at the end of the hall upstairs so to get to my room I had to walk across the hallway that had a railing that looked over the first floor. I've always been terrified of heights so getting to my room was always very scary to me as a child. I would hug the wall, crawl, run, or beg my mom to carry me in order to get to my room cuz I couldn't handle how scary it was to me and due to the constant fear I started dreaming about it every night for years. There were I think four versions of the dream, but the most common one was the railing would be missing and as I tried to get to my room I'd somehow slip and fall off the balcony and right before I hit the floor I'd wake up. The worst part was I always woke up in a violent jolt causing me to either hit the wall next to my bed or fall off my bed. Nowadays I can't stand to sleep in normal beds cuz I'm afraid of falling off.

    Hey buddy, I have been insomniac for ages. I recently started taking apigenin, l-theanine and magnesium l-threonate, with occasional intake of myo-inositol and Montmorency cherry.
    While none of them on their own is miraculous (well apigenin being quite a noticeable improvement on its own), all together it's really pretty much fixed my insomnia.
    Good luck!
