This animator is popular on bilibili (a Chinese video platform) and he/she deserves that, his/her animations are so good and high quality. I found him/her on bilibili some months ago and I’m so happy about that he/she is on RUclips and instagram!

The symbolism of the crack of light in the window. That's what keeps them awake. That's what represents the one sliver of hope they have, the miniscule shred of life they hold on to. It's truly beautiful.
I love the use of colors, especially to convey the emptiness of the eyes and the surroundings in contrast to the vibrancy of the outside world and what life should be like. So much of this animation is disturbingly relatable - from that funny “jacket” monster to the disconnect the MC feels from the world and other people, causing that unhealthy but irrisistable spiral into social media. I can’t believe I found this 2 years after it got posted.
the fact that it’s 4:13am rn and i js strolled across this, wearing (almost) the exact same outfit, and doing everything possible to try to sleep yet also avoid the sleep that i dearly want and need
I'm quite late but, if you truly want to fall asleep faster, you should make sure to not look at any screens whatsoever, so no scrolling either. If you can't stand being in the bed trying to fall asleep - walk around your home, look into the window or something, just don't do anything stimulating or exciting and definitely don't look at your phone, otherwise your efforts will be reversed.
this is literally my life. like there's slow times and times that go way too fast and there's beautiful moments and indifferent stretches i'm feeling better than i used to :)

Tips for people who cant sleep: Close your eyes and think of the goofiest shit and just keep thinking about it. Sooner or later, that would become a dream
I don't have any sleep problems anymore (thank god) but I can say that does not work. I either lost my focus or I just kept thinking of goofy shit for hours, and hours.
The sequence of imagery in the middle is weirdly how it feels like when you had been scrolling all night and end up feeling burnt out, but then you realize the sun's coming up and notices the view is beautiful and that weird feeling of warmth takes over you...
I think this perfectly encapsulates the feeling of insomnia and crazed nights where you do lots of random crap because you are bored and just can’t sleep. After a while, I started taking melatonin. It works. But sometimes you just wish to sleep normally.
literally, I have chronic insomnia and The nights just feel like they last forever. Because of this, I now have an eating disorder because I eat so much at night. I really just wanna be awake and not need artificial stuff
I used to have the same issue, I'd stay up until 6-7am almost every night for around 9 or 10 years, and melatonin didn't work because I built up an immunity to it when I was a young child. Best way I've found to get rid of it, is to make lifestyle changes so that you'r happier during the day, and maybe listen to something kind of mindless in the background if you still can't fall asleep some nights. I usually re-listen to a game grumps playlist.
Every time I thought it was over, it kept going. It honestly feels like how it is being too bored to sleep, then sleeping at 1am and then waking up just before your alarm, going back to sleep only for the alarm to hit, then you start sleeping through your other 10 alarms you set until the last one before going to do whatever it is you do every day and then repeat.
@Ftl2009 this is it. I think this video captures social media addiction, insomnia and mental health issues. If you spend your days more productively and get enough exercise, it can also improve your mental health and sleep.
I absolutely love this. The odd feeling of trying to explore this meaning less world, days just continuing to be the same and nothing to feel. Is horrifically comforting
Well, not everyone will think this life is completely meaningless (I for one believe it's a test) but definitely those mundane days are hard to get through at times.
I need a moment. This was absolutely beautiful, the songs, animation and colors were all great. This captured the feeling of sleep deprivation, dreams and the exhausting routine of everyday life super well. Maybe even hints to ED? I first thought this was simply about insomnia, "I can't sleep" as in they can't physically fall asleep. But since they drank so much coke that has caffeine in it and also wouldn't stop scrolling on their phone, it made me think if they didn't _want_ to fall asleep at all. Gorgeous piece of art!!
I'm not sure if the character was dreaming when all the different images were shown but the way I liked to interpret it, is when you can't sleep and just lay there and so many thoughts come flooding in that you end up questioning your whole existence and having an existential crisis and stuff, since the images seemed too meaningful to be an actual dream lol
Hi, insomniac here. This is definitely about insomnia, personally when I can’t sleep I end up eating and scrolling on my phone because the longer I stay awake the hungrier/thirstier I get and the worse the thoughts in my head also get🙋🏾♀️
Another insomniac here. The conflict about wanting to sleep x not wanting to is definitely part of the problem (for me at least). Nightmares are pretty common to me so wanting to avoid them is one of the reasons sleeping is so difficult.
I felt the monster that turned out to be clothes, all of this video is so relatable and so calming at the same time. The animation must have taken days, so smooth and beautiful! Also the reoccurring themes with the circle, seeing the ponytail of the girl or the empty coffee mug was so genius, it really feels like a whole entire all too familiar lifestory unraveling in minutes while the time flies by. Wonderful work! The music too!
God this hits SO close to home, I already have issues sleeping but if I have a lot to get done and dare to drink a milligram of caffeine in the morning I can’t sleep until 6 AM and by then it’s too late, there’s no feeling worse than laying in bed, knowing you’re missing out on tomorrow as tonight tightens it’s grip on you, the slow feeling of decreasing awareness as the world around you starts shifting and you can hear your heartbeat, knowing the later it gets the less likely you’ll wake up on time, then everyone judges you for being late or for being groggy, their voices all ringing through your head like bells while you struggle to figure out what they’re saying, it’s no fun.
boy a la preparatoria y por desgracia es lo que vivo todos los dias, de todas las semanas, de todos los meses de mi vida, mientras las tareas y cosas importantes que hacer cambian o se desbanecen frente a mi y quiero llorar, pero... siento que ya no puedo. e dejado tantas cosas sin terminar: un gion que iva a escribir para hacer con mis amigos en la secundaria, 9 libros que los deje a la mitad ( y mas que nisiquiera e leido), una lista de peliculas que parece extenderse, paginas de mi diario que deje a la mitad, el tener que practicar como leer mis partituras para poder tocar mi piano, el saber correctamente a nivel profecional las tecnicas para jugar ajedres, practicar mi caligrafia (pues la mia actual es horrible), completar una lista ridicula de juegos de play que solo se agranda y dejo todos a la mitad, una pila de comics que no e leido, organisar bien mi cuarto, reconectar con unos amigos biejos, una lista de animes que no acaba, ir con un amigo que le preste 6 comics y vive tan lejos que no he ido a recogerlos, estudiar temas esotericos y ocultistas y a si. es horrible, seguro y me e olvidado de una que otra cosa, por favor, duerman bien, los quiero a todos.
when i was in highschool, i had SO many nights like this.... you just keep trying and trying and you just cant sleep 😭... id have nights where id just sob or nights my brain wouldnt turn off or nights where id daydream about disappearing entirely.... ive been so much better since graduating, im so grateful i cant remember the last time i had a night like this....
That feeling is so weird, no matter what position, how much time you close your eyes, how tired your eyes feel or whatever you make to fall asleep, you're just uncapable of sleeping
This wouldn’t stop popping up on my recommended so I finally decided to watch it. The part where it shows his eyes taped shut and him seeing visions of spherical shapes/objects is such an accurate representation of what I experience when I’m trying to sleep. My mind constantly and endlessly showing me the most random things until I finally go to sleep.
This is the most relatable thing ever for me. I haven't been able to sleep like I used to since traumatic events in my life. Some nights I just stare at the ceiling, stare at my phone and pace around my house JUST LIKE THIS until morning rolls around. I really need to fix it but I don't even know how. But this video was really comforting, it made me feel a lot less alone. Must have been a lot of work to make too. So thank you for this.
Quando eu acordo n sinto animação pra NADA, mais de noite por algum motivo eu fico brisando, eu acordo levanto vou no quarto da minha mãe é fico parada na porta encarando ela, aí vou pra cozinha pego um copo de água sento na cadeira é fico esperando o tempo passar é o sono vir mais n vem nem um pouco, depois eu começo a me estressar por q eu fico pensado em coisas ruins q aconteceu no meu dia é quanto mais eu tento n pensar mais eu me estresso aí eu volto pra cama é deito é espero amanhecer 😅 Tô precisando é ser enternada 🤡
I need a horror indie game like this. Trying to go through life while keeping on trying to stay asleep to stay sane. Less sleep, more horrific the visuals get.
@@Loveyourself21072I was just gonna say that even the person in this animation looks kind of like Sunny in the sense that he's a person with black hair lol
That is a game I’m pretty sure, but it’s more like a hospital patient that’s incapacitated who is told throughout the game to get more rest, but every time they do they have horrible life-threatening nightmares. Or at least I think that’s the premise.
I was suffering from insomnia due to stress and depression, I wanted to give up everything, I started to think that I am not good or useful for anyone, I didn't share my thoughts and my suffering with anyone, now after years of suffering I started to ignore people and their opinion, although I am still suffering but I stopped thinking to give up, I want to live for myself now, I love myself and I will do the things I always wanted to do. I have overcome my fear and depression. I wrote this for the people who are exhausted and thinking about giving up. Live for yourself don't give a f**k about others opinion. Love yourself and live for yourself ❤❤❤r
i love how well you capture what these things really feel like in life, ive suffered with insomnia majority of my life since i was a kid as well with a constant feeling of isolating and having the internet as my only social stimulation for years when my mental health was declining since the start of 5th grade, its been getting better within these past few years, the daylight part of the vid is also very accurate to the feeling, nothing much changes wise of isolating but theres still people and life around even when you are alone, it feels just a little bit better
It is! i saw this video in my recommendation and for some reason I was intrigued by it. Never would I thought I’d relate to this on so many level, much less would’ve expected this video to be an absolute gem!
Everything about this is so accurate (expect for the brushing your teeth part). It's hard to fall asleep when you don't want today to end and tomorrow to begin
The saddest thing is that youtube recommended me this at 2:30am💀 I always hate that when I stay up through the night and see the sky gradually brighten, then I know that I missed another night to sleep…
The way you described insomnia and depression related attitudes in a so relatable, daily and normal way is beyond experience and skills. You touched your own heart and put it into a digital animated canvas, you touched the heart of many others you don't know, and you did for passion. That's spirit ❤ Really good work
As an insomniac who has trouble sleeping, this short film really touched me. I have to take medication too, otherwise I can't sleep. And what a great idea to include Moonlight Sonata, which is just magnificent. Thank you so much, I love your style of animation and music, I identify with your characters every time :)
I'd almost call this self-inflicted insomnia, considering she never put her phone away from her bed and opted for sleeping pills instead of practising sleep hygiene
Unlike a lot of the comments, I don't actually have insomnia. But I do have a heart condition that keeps me awake for days sometimes, just like this. 1:30 hit me really hard because it's exactly how it feels. I scroll endlessly, and when I finally think I can pass out, I get heart palpitations so hard I jolt awake. I usually only pass out when I'm so exhausted I can't physically stay awake any longer. Absolutely stunning animation as always. The colors, composition, symbolism, and imagery.. all of these works are beautiful
@@k00lbaby36 Oh yeah, I was diagnosed with chronic PVCs, with around 10% burden on average. Harmless which is great, but it still really sucks :( definitely makes life harder
my favorite parts of this are the one line of light over the character's room, and the way that unimportant objects (like the fly) are simple doodles and not finished parts
5:25 Some interpretation The lyrics being "I'm dreaming...." "please don't wake me up..." while the color of the sunset was present reminds me of that time of day when I look at the sunset after a long day of work and just stare at it like i had been for a few hours, wishing this moment doesn't end.
The way that this video was only discovered now is absolutely criminal, the landscaping and colors are so beautiful, not to mention the fact this must've taken AGES to make, considering a regular animation that lasts for one minute can take weeks and/or months let alone six mintues. Good job man, glad you got some recognition eventually, even if it was late
I don't know if this piece of art says "I can't sleep" as in "I'm trying but I can't sleep" or if it's as in "If I sleep I'll have to do it all over again". I feel like both are related though, I went by both, insomnia when my parents died and the latter because, I come home from work without having created any memories, but look at that, a week has gone by and in the day after tomorrow it's has been 2 weeks already. So I sleep 5 hours until I can't anymore, just so I can create at least a day worth of memories in a week.
The latter is “I don’t want to sleep “ . And I definitely experienced both, usually the latter. When I was young I loved sleeping because I love dreaming, I can escape my boring but peaceful life in that way. At some point I began to hate sleeping because I started to have more responsibilities and also less dreams, anxiety and depression (undiagnosed, feelings, not illness) keeps me awake at night, and I often wish I don’t need to sleep so I can be actively working on changing my boring life…
This is an amazing story, the violent cycle of being glued to your phone throughout the night unable to sleep and how it can throw off your emotional balance, and when you get to enjoy the beauty that the day brings your too tired to enjoy it then it starts all over again.
I have a friend who has imsomnia and shes told me her sturggles of having to stay up and no matter how hard she tried she could never fall alseep for the people suffering from insomnia im so sorry you have to go through all this sleep is a privilege and i never realised that
Personally, I Can sleep, I haven't insomnia, my problem is that I don't want to sleep... And I hate myself for that, I don't want to sleep because I don't want today to end and tomorrow to begin... Time goes and that's my biggest fear... You add that to addictions(mangas, anime, video games, smartphone) and You have the perfect combo
Insomnia is a bit*h, You are always tired, it's SO damn hard to get sleep smtimes than even You start wanting that the sleep was unnecesary.. the only thing that maybe is not that Bad is that in My case, i have lucid dreams almost every night, the worst is that my mind don't rest to have the energy for next day. And the nightmares.. 🙍
Esta animación describe perfectamente lo que pasa y lo que se siente cuando tienes insomnio o no puedes dormir, en mi caso, cuando me aburro y las pastillas para el sueño no parecen querer hacer efecto, me pongo a dibujar cualquier cosa, lo que sea, a veces salen dibujos bonitos y uno que otro gracioso y raro que hasta la fecha me siguen dando risa, es fascinante la capacidad humana para sobre llevar este tipo de situaciones...
how completely and totally relatable the first part was once i had an energy drink at 6pm and couldn't sleep literally the whole night. First and hopefully only time I truly felt what it's like to have anxiety and anxiety attacks.
@@foodeater1236 the house I'm living under? The house I'm living in (or the dungeon of under someone else's house) right now is mine, I stay in this kind of apartment thing where other people live in this single house lol, and no the people above me aren't my parents
I like how this animator is showing us his part of life through animation. like many people experienced and gone through this situation,it might look scary but that's the life is for most of the people in today's generation.
It’s 3AM and I can’t sleep, like always, and I saw this and WOW This had me literally crying- did NOT expect all this. Watching this was like being understood, for the first time.

1:32 that felt so personal. Many times on the night when I feel I'm finally getting sleep just something on my brain screams that I cannot do that, just like if I were not safe and that hearthbeat and shock onto your brain after that; literally I saw it on the animation and I revive it. So relatable. P.D: I thought this was Hooni-Lee haha
It's been I think over a year since I've first seen this video and every now and then I go back to it. I'm damn near speechless over all the emotions you've been able to convey here. I feel seen and for that I thank you.
This is so beautiful. It's honestly how I had been feeling for a long while, always feeling so tired, yet I'd stay up until my alarm went off. I'd wonder why I was so moody, only to see how being on my phone, always having my feelings be influenced by whatever I was shown. I'd just spend my days in what seemed like a hampster wheel, doing the same thing and feeling like shit due to it. Until I started, as stupid and trivial as it seems, just getting more rest, decideding to leave my room and watch the clouds more. I'm glad I'm starting to break away from that cycle, this animation is absolutely gorgeous.

1:25 this part hit me. It might not be the message but; everytime i go online and see people talking about their relationships, i end up being happy until i scroll for so long, i remember i'm lonely and i cry but then i feel jealous before completely giving up.
@@worldofacademia7852 i doubt it, after a lot of things i have see i realised that i cannot control or change the direction of everything, i almost die of a organ complication at the age 18 because a genetic factor i have see how someone kidnapped and burned a inocent little girl at 2 squares of my home when i was 10, and how they murdered a whole family with their children in front of my eyes at 17, the world is full of unfairness things and there isn't much to control them, i have see a lot of things that i would have wish never happend, but they did
Words don't describe the situation that I am in when I found this. Words cannot describe the animation either. The connection is either there, or it is not.

I need a moment.
This was absolutely beautiful, the songs, animation and colors were all great. This captured the feeling of sleep deprivation, dreams and the exhausting routine of everyday life super well. Maybe even hints to ED?
I first thought this was simply about insomnia, "I can't sleep" as in they can't physically fall asleep. But since they drank so much coke that has caffeine in it and also wouldn't stop scrolling on their phone, it made me think if they didn't _want_ to fall asleep at all.
Gorgeous piece of art!!
I'm not sure if the character was dreaming when all the different images were shown but the way I liked to interpret it, is when you can't sleep and just lay there and so many thoughts come flooding in that you end up questioning your whole existence and having an existential crisis and stuff, since the images seemed too meaningful to be an actual dream lol
Hi, insomniac here. This is definitely about insomnia, personally when I can’t sleep I end up eating and scrolling on my phone because the longer I stay awake the hungrier/thirstier I get and the worse the thoughts in my head also get🙋🏾♀️
Another insomniac here. The conflict about wanting to sleep x not wanting to is definitely part of the problem (for me at least). Nightmares are pretty common to me so wanting to avoid them is one of the reasons sleeping is so difficult.
This, was beautiful, but i cant tell if the character is a boy or a girl, maybe a femboy?
@@Lilythegothwitch Androgyny, its intentionally ambiguous through being androgenous so anyone can insert themselves onto the character.
The fact that this video got millions of views on Bilibili...underrated on RUclips
wow, at least it got its recognition someplace else
On what??
@@The_mrbobchinese youtube basically
It was privated mate
I felt the monster that turned out to be clothes, all of this video is so relatable and so calming at the same time. The animation must have taken days, so smooth and beautiful! Also the reoccurring themes with the circle, seeing the ponytail of the girl or the empty coffee mug was so genius, it really feels like a whole entire all too familiar lifestory unraveling in minutes while the time flies by.
Wonderful work! The music too!
God this hits SO close to home, I already have issues sleeping but if I have a lot to get done and dare to drink a milligram of caffeine in the morning I can’t sleep until 6 AM and by then it’s too late, there’s no feeling worse than laying in bed, knowing you’re missing out on tomorrow as tonight tightens it’s grip on you, the slow feeling of decreasing awareness as the world around you starts shifting and you can hear your heartbeat, knowing the later it gets the less likely you’ll wake up on time, then everyone judges you for being late or for being groggy, their voices all ringing through your head like bells while you struggle to figure out what they’re saying, it’s no fun.
boy a la preparatoria y por desgracia es lo que vivo todos los dias, de todas las semanas, de todos los meses de mi vida, mientras las tareas y cosas importantes que hacer cambian o se desbanecen frente a mi y quiero llorar, pero... siento que ya no puedo. e dejado tantas cosas sin terminar: un gion que iva a escribir para hacer con mis amigos en la secundaria, 9 libros que los deje a la mitad ( y mas que nisiquiera e leido), una lista de peliculas que parece extenderse, paginas de mi diario que deje a la mitad, el tener que practicar como leer mis partituras para poder tocar mi piano, el saber correctamente a nivel profecional las tecnicas para jugar ajedres, practicar mi caligrafia (pues la mia actual es horrible), completar una lista ridicula de juegos de play que solo se agranda y dejo todos a la mitad, una pila de comics que no e leido, organisar bien mi cuarto, reconectar con unos amigos biejos, una lista de animes que no acaba, ir con un amigo que le preste 6 comics y vive tan lejos que no he ido a recogerlos, estudiar temas esotericos y ocultistas y a si.
es horrible, seguro y me e olvidado de una que otra cosa, por favor, duerman bien, los quiero a todos.

Fucking reaaaalllll
I really hope you'll feel better with sleeping! I really mean it.
when i was in highschool, i had SO many nights like this.... you just keep trying and trying and you just cant sleep 😭... id have nights where id just sob or nights my brain wouldnt turn off or nights where id daydream about disappearing entirely....
ive been so much better since graduating, im so grateful i cant remember the last time i had a night like this....

You're just not healthy. A normal person would fall asleep after crying.
same here
What are you pursuing? I hope you can embark on some adventure, even in everyday life
How'd you overcome it?
That feeling is so weird, no matter what position, how much time you close your eyes, how tired your eyes feel or whatever you make to fall asleep, you're just uncapable of sleeping
I just relate too much to this, Ik it's not good but it feels kinda good not being alone in this
When I first watched this it said it was posted two years ago, now its three years old! Makes me feel old...
This wouldn’t stop popping up on my recommended so I finally decided to watch it. The part where it shows his eyes taped shut and him seeing visions of spherical shapes/objects is such an accurate representation of what I experience when I’m trying to sleep. My mind constantly and endlessly showing me the most random things until I finally go to sleep.
same same
I started to work towards a healthier life and I can finally sleep, I hope you can too
The fact you see those random things in the montage of life once Lauv's Loneliness starts playing is O' so poignant

This is the most relatable thing ever for me. I haven't been able to sleep like I used to since traumatic events in my life. Some nights I just stare at the ceiling, stare at my phone and pace around my house JUST LIKE THIS until morning rolls around. I really need to fix it but I don't even know how. But this video was really comforting, it made me feel a lot less alone. Must have been a lot of work to make too. So thank you for this.
Quando eu acordo n sinto animação pra NADA, mais de noite por algum motivo eu fico brisando, eu acordo levanto vou no quarto da minha mãe é fico parada na porta encarando ela, aí vou pra cozinha pego um copo de água sento na cadeira é fico esperando o tempo passar é o sono vir mais n vem nem um pouco, depois eu começo a me estressar por q eu fico pensado em coisas ruins q aconteceu no meu dia é quanto mais eu tento n pensar mais eu me estresso aí eu volto pra cama é deito é espero amanhecer 😅

I need a horror indie game like this. Trying to go through life while keeping on trying to stay asleep to stay sane. Less sleep, more horrific the visuals get.
Omori vibes
that's great idea
@@Loveyourself21072I was just gonna say that even the person in this animation looks kind of like Sunny in the sense that he's a person with black hair lol
That is a game I’m pretty sure, but it’s more like a hospital patient that’s incapacitated who is told throughout the game to get more rest, but every time they do they have horrible life-threatening nightmares. Or at least I think that’s the premise.

𝑯𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒉𝒂 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒉
💀fr
Ain't no way that THIS is so underated. I hate how RUclips doesn't help the ones who actually give efforts to their art
I was suffering from insomnia due to stress and depression, I wanted to give up everything, I started to think that I am not good or useful for anyone, I didn't share my thoughts and my suffering with anyone, now after years of suffering I started to ignore people and their opinion, although I am still suffering but I stopped thinking to give up, I want to live for myself now, I love myself and I will do the things I always wanted to do. I have overcome my fear and depression.
I wrote this for the people who are exhausted and thinking about giving up. Live for yourself don't give a f**k about others opinion. Love yourself and live for yourself ❤❤❤r
i love how well you capture what these things really feel like in life, ive suffered with insomnia majority of my life since i was a kid as well with a constant feeling of isolating and having the internet as my only social stimulation for years when my mental health was declining since the start of 5th grade, its been getting better within these past few years, the daylight part of the vid is also very accurate to the feeling, nothing much changes wise of isolating but theres still people and life around even when you are alone, it feels just a little bit better
You and me both hope you got through it as I'm still experiencing this now even as I type this out
Same I've also not been sleeping until 7am in the morning but thats because my so called "parent" judges me bc of that and that's why 😥😞
Same here. Let me guess, home-schooled/online student?
This is so beautiful and accurately "me" I feel like I'm in love with the animation and animator TT
It is! i saw this video in my recommendation and for some reason I was intrigued by it. Never would I thought I’d relate to this on so many level, much less would’ve expected this video to be an absolute gem!
It’s crazy how much art like this that goes unnoticed, literally amazing as hell

The way you described insomnia and depression related attitudes in a so relatable, daily and normal way is beyond experience and skills. You touched your own heart and put it into a digital animated canvas, you touched the heart of many others you don't know, and you did for passion. That's spirit ❤
Really good work
3 years later and still vibing to this
It’s nice to know that even though I’m isolated, I’m not alone in my isolation.
Fellow insomniac
As an insomniac who has trouble sleeping, this short film really touched me. I have to take medication too, otherwise I can't sleep. And what a great idea to include Moonlight Sonata, which is just magnificent. Thank you so much, I love your style of animation and music, I identify with your characters every time :)
I'd almost call this self-inflicted insomnia, considering she never put her phone away from her bed and opted for sleeping pills instead of practising sleep hygiene
@@_WayneTheWizard_I saw the character as a boy but who knows.
@@TenebresLikesToObservesame but looking back on it, it could be either.
@@Shiftingreubix Yeah.
Insomnia is not a natural thing bro, you can naturally stop it, but it will take maybe days and weeks. Kinda hard, but I did it.
Unlike a lot of the comments, I don't actually have insomnia. But I do have a heart condition that keeps me awake for days sometimes, just like this. 1:30 hit me really hard because it's exactly how it feels. I scroll endlessly, and when I finally think I can pass out, I get heart palpitations so hard I jolt awake. I usually only pass out when I'm so exhausted I can't physically stay awake any longer.
Absolutely stunning animation as always. The colors, composition, symbolism, and imagery.. all of these works are beautiful
This used to be me too
I think you might have experienced pvcs.
It's harmless, it happens to me sometimes.
@@k00lbaby36 Oh yeah, I was diagnosed with chronic PVCs, with around 10% burden on average. Harmless which is great, but it still really sucks :( definitely makes life harder
@@thesnekku I'm sorry to hear that, I hope everything goes well for you. I think exercise may help your pvcs to occur less often.
@@k00lbaby36 Thank you :) I hope the same for you too. And hey maybe I'll get more into exercising and see if that helps :) i appreciate it
my favorite parts of this are the one line of light over the character's room, and the way that unimportant objects (like the fly) are simple doodles and not finished parts
5:25
Some interpretation
The lyrics being "I'm dreaming...." "please don't wake me up..." while the color of the sunset was present reminds me of that time of day when I look at the sunset after a long day of work and just stare at it like i had been for a few hours, wishing this moment doesn't end.

@@LegendBreaker7same :) :)
Everyone is here right now, 2 years late, I really hope this blows up, it's beautiful
It did 🎉
The way that this video was only discovered now is absolutely criminal, the landscaping and colors are so beautiful, not to mention the fact this must've taken AGES to make, considering a regular animation that lasts for one minute can take weeks and/or months let alone six mintues. Good job man, glad you got some recognition eventually, even if it was late
The video was on private
this is what my depression mixed with my adhd and autism does
hope youre doing well :C
I don't know if this piece of art says "I can't sleep" as in "I'm trying but I can't sleep" or if it's as in "If I sleep I'll have to do it all over again".
I feel like both are related though, I went by both, insomnia when my parents died and the latter because, I come home from work without having created any memories, but look at that, a week has gone by and in the day after tomorrow it's has been 2 weeks already. So I sleep 5 hours until I can't anymore, just so I can create at least a day worth of memories in a week.
The latter is “I don’t want to sleep “ . And I definitely experienced both, usually the latter. When I was young I loved sleeping because I love dreaming, I can escape my boring but peaceful life in that way. At some point I began to hate sleeping because I started to have more responsibilities and also less dreams, anxiety and depression (undiagnosed, feelings, not illness) keeps me awake at night, and I often wish I don’t need to sleep so I can be actively working on changing my boring life…
This is an amazing story, the violent cycle of being glued to your phone throughout the night unable to sleep and how it can throw off your emotional balance, and when you get to enjoy the beauty that the day brings your too tired to enjoy it then it starts all over again.

@@justsomestranger9256 LITERALLY me rn. (It's not a phone it's a laptop but same concept.)
Sadly that's my life right now
I have a friend who has imsomnia and shes told me her sturggles of having to stay up and no matter how hard she tried she could never fall alseep for the people suffering from insomnia im so sorry you have to go through all this sleep is a privilege and i never realised that
Personally, I Can sleep, I haven't insomnia, my problem is that I don't want to sleep... And I hate myself for that, I don't want to sleep because I don't want today to end and tomorrow to begin... Time goes and that's my biggest fear... You add that to addictions(mangas, anime, video games, smartphone) and You have the perfect combo
insomnia helps me sleep
Insomnia is a bit*h, You are always tired, it's SO damn hard to get sleep smtimes than even You start wanting that the sleep was unnecesary.. the only thing that maybe is not that Bad is that in My case, i have lucid dreams almost every night, the worst is that my mind don't rest to have the energy for next day.
And the nightmares.. 🙍

Esta animación describe perfectamente lo que pasa y lo que se siente cuando tienes insomnio o no puedes dormir, en mi caso, cuando me aburro y las pastillas para el sueño no parecen querer hacer efecto, me pongo a dibujar cualquier cosa, lo que sea, a veces salen dibujos bonitos y uno que otro gracioso y raro que hasta la fecha me siguen dando risa, es fascinante la capacidad humana para sobre llevar este tipo de situaciones...
how completely and totally relatable the first part was
once i had an energy drink at 6pm and couldn't sleep literally the whole night.
First and hopefully only time I truly felt what it's like to have anxiety and anxiety attacks.

Я тоже в шоке. Это так красиво и так жизненно
This animation surprised me tbh
1:32 that felt so personal. Many times on the night when I feel I'm finally getting sleep just something on my brain screams that I cannot do that, just like if I were not safe and that hearthbeat and shock onto your brain after that; literally I saw it on the animation and I revive it. So relatable.

This is so beautiful. It's honestly how I had been feeling for a long while, always feeling so tired, yet I'd stay up until my alarm went off. I'd wonder why I was so moody, only to see how being on my phone, always having my feelings be influenced by whatever I was shown. I'd just spend my days in what seemed like a hampster wheel, doing the same thing and feeling like shit due to it. Until I started, as stupid and trivial as it seems, just getting more rest, decideding to leave my room and watch the clouds more.
I'm glad I'm starting to break away from that cycle, this animation is absolutely gorgeous.
