The fact that the alarm goes off right when you've started to go into a deep sleep

How did we all not find this gem before? Why did KZfaq choose to show it to us today? There is a new mission now

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

5:51 THE YAWN WAS THE MOST ADORABLE THING EVER

Finally...the algorithm considered to pick this up after two years. Finally.

The KZfaq algorithm has failed us by not showing us this gem sooner. 😔

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.

This will be the new generation of those old videos randomly popping up on recommended, and I really like that.

Why is this animator so underrated, all the stuff they make is beautiful

It's funny how all of us suddenly got this on our recommendation at the same time, the KZfaq algorithm really works wonders Anywho, I adore everything about this animation. The color scheme, the music, and the art style. It's a masterpiece

"Don't wake me up I'm dreaming" Brought me to tears😭😭 so relatable😭😭😭

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 fact that people around us could be going through this and are putting smiles like its nothing...makes me sick

In six minutes the animation and song choices actually do a really great job of showing what insomnia and depression do to a person

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.

the heart reverberating in my ears is the LOUDEST THING

I had a friend who couldn't sleep for over a month and this reminded me of just how insane he went...

4:00 bro this shit jumpscared me so hard oml I had like years worth of flashback from that noise😭😭

Life without support is more difficult than chaos, paranoia, or other emotional problems. Find yourself a friend.

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

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.

Speechless. This is literally beautiful, how did I not find it until 2 YEARS LATER? Edit: my poor notifications 😭

For Anyone wondering the first song is sleeping powder by gorillaz

3:38 Me when I'm playing hide&seek (I'm in washing machine)

I want to give this character a hug so goddamn much.

The jacket being the monster was relatable lol

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

this is what my depression mixed with my adhd and autism does

I love how these comments are so recent even tho the video was posted two years ago 💀💀

we all found this all 2 years later, but the detail is incredible. no idea why youtube just gives us the best animations out of the blue lmao

after two years, my time to watch this has come, and I do not regret clicking on this video

No SHOT this person made literally Life: the animation

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.

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 :)

Watching this at 3am seems to be appropriate-in all seriousness I am obsessed with the animation here! So moody

this is gorgeous, not to mention I'm a huge fan of the song Sleeping Powder so that was a great addition. The entire first part of suffering insomnia just felt incredibly atmospherically polished, and it totally made me think of the early developing signs of schizophrenia including insomnia which spirals into psychosis. amazing animation idea executed so beautifully, i don't understand how it's just on KZfaq for free. great job!!

Honestly, this somehow describes me every couple weeks where i randomly cant not look at my computer 3 nights in a row and suddenly its 5 and im sad

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...

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...

When you're at your lowest and want to be saved, it doesn't start with someone being there for you, it starts with you.

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.

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.

Im getting a strange sense of familiarity watching this, and not just in the events, I mean some of the effects, way its cut, shot, the music, it all feels like it portrays ones mental state, one that I connect to. I feel like this is an artpeice that can be interpreted. The part in the middle with the piano, makes the world feel calm, loud, enclosed, peaceful, scary, and you just feel trapped in your life, in your emotions, in your thoughts, like a prison, or maybe its not that deep and it's just a cool animation, but its a beautiful piece of work.

This scared me a little but this is pure GOLD (I got scared because of how realistic it was;

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 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

Never been so sleep deprived that I hung out in the bathroom with my head in the toilet, but to each his own.

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!

i instantly love this character, i never see enough characters with giant black pupils theyre always the cutest/sweetest/most relatable

To clear up some confusion, this was privated 2 years ago and is public now. P. S it was also uploaded on Bilibili and got a lot of views

This is such a masterpiece- iv had this problem for my whole life, and someone can still be happy, and nobody ever knew they went thriughthis- I cant belive I JUST to watch it now.... The animation, the smoothness, the art, everything is perfect!!! I can really relate to this.. Thank you!!!! You deserve so many subscribers!

What a fluid and beautiful animation! A true work of art.

This is so underrated holy crap. I feel like it just embodies what living in our modern world is like.

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....

I’m surprised I haven’t found this before. It seems like a normal animation on the outside but has so much of a deeper meaning on the inside. Everything is well thought out, even the songs! I’m glad that the artist was able to connect with themselves so much to the point of making this masterpiece. Thank you ❤🙂

This video is amazing! Thankfully it and the channel has gotten the recognition it deserves. Though it still deserves more! I saw myself in this character and it was very emotional. Bravo! Not many music videos make me emotional!

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.

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 makes me feel so very lonely, because for a moment i think I'm not the only one who struggles at night, but then i remember how far away everyone else is in the world and they may as well just not exist at all. I feel like I'm trapped in a box every night like clockwork and I'm going insane. My parents lock the doors at night and hide the keys in their room so i can't go try jump off a bridge or something, as if i couldn't just take a knife from the kitchen if i wanted to. I don't know how many more nights i can take like this. I wish i had someone to hug at night when i feel the most empty and numb. I just wanna feel something again...

I cannot explain this masterpiece..

The fact that this video got millions of views on Bilibili...underrated on KZfaq

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 think it has a really good message when put into the context of addiction.

I experienced this for a while I was anxious and I suffer from migraines so I lived in constant fear and when it finally was time to sleep my heart sent shivers down my whole body and I almost couldn't breath because of anxiety luckily I'm better now. Remember that it can also get better for you, things take time and you gotta be patient if you can't then talk to a friend, family member or a professional doctor about it. ❤

The fact that this video was recommended to me at 03:16am spoke volumes to me about the situation I'm having

Ain't no way that THIS is so underated. I hate how KZfaq doesn't help the ones who actually give efforts to their art

Most relatable animation I’ve ever seen. This is a true masterpiece

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…

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's just freaking me out how similar everything is

You truly do amazing work here. We hope to find more of your masterpieces

How does this have 400 views there is no way man. HOLY CRAP the video exploded that's awesome. (2 weeks later, thanks algorithm).

This is so beautiful and accurately "me" I feel like I'm in love with the animation and animator TT

Acho que esse é o charme, a melancolia que a noite proporciona (por isso me mantenho acordado)

This is the best animation I've seen on YT since last year. I really love the composition of the panels ! Great work !

After 100 years not sleeping, he sleeps for 100 years Now the world hears “i am the storm that is approaching” as the kid wakes up

It’s nice to know that even though I’m isolated, I’m not alone in my isolation.

THAT'S LITERALLY A MASTERPIECE

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 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

Perfectly sums up my struggle with anxiety and insomnia 😅

this is a freaking master piece man. awesome work

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

imagine being able to afford an apartment with a view as gorgeous as that...

it gives a sense of peace to me

This is just beautiful it left me and heart speechless, like the animation was smooth the symbolism is there, the truth and everything was amazingly perfect. Really does show how much work this took so good job dude i hope you have a nice long nap.

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 :)

Everyone is here right now, 2 years late, I really hope this blows up, it's beautiful

Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece.. ❤️❤️

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

sometimes you really just need a hug so you can cry it out alone later and sleep easy

it’s been like this for years lol

Something good from 2021...this is so beautiful!

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.

THE POSES ON THE TOILET- HELP-

I was surprised, by how accurate this is

great art style

KZfaq went drunk again, why it recommeded this beautiful video after 2 years?!!

I don’t think I could sleep with the only stream of light in the room was directly in my eyes either

This is fucking beautiful, I hope your having a easier time sleeping now and I give you a big hug. Take care of yourself
