hi!

Taz my bed time is 2 am. It is now 4 am. I think I am losing at this sleeping thing 🙃

I was present at a sleep course once that is based on cognitive behavioural therapy and they recommend to only use your bed for sleeping and sex otherwise your brain doesn't put together the bed and sleep cos you do other things there such as watch TV, work etc.

Hahahaha . it's 11 PM rn..I gotta wake up at 5 am for school tomorrow...😭

You should try the Wim Hof Method, it helps with better sleep, stress and also boosts your immunsystem, because you said that you are ill at the again (but you actually have to wait till you are healthy to start) It is definitely hard, because it requires cold showers, but believe me IT IS WORTH IT!

@@ballsack1039 wow I'm sorry to hear you guys have had such terrible experiences with Nytol... I do take the strong one (in a purple box) occasionally when I need it but never have I become addicted to it. I take maybe a few tables a year.

You just need to detox for a while so to allow your hormones to regulate. It'll be painful but it's better in the long run.

true ! cuz when you're body gets used to it after a while the dose won't be enough and you'll be seeing yourself taking more and more and it will be much harder to detoxify

I googled this before and nytol can bring on dementia 🙈

Nytol’s ingredients have been tested for addiction potential. It only becomes physiologically addictive at 700mg 2x day. Under that dose, the perceived dependency is entirely psychological. I’ve taken it for years, without physical adverse effect.

I do this!

@@sald6815 Me, too

fake scenarios too 😎

I do this, but more like I make up scenarios I want to happen, its like being in a fantasy world were you can live the life you want

This is so cute! Lol

I love her

Saaaaame

I want to be like you.....on the chill video and vlogging

YES she and emma Chamberlain

love the sound of that

yes!!

Weighted blankets are amazing! Take some time to get used to, but a BIG recommendation from here.

I wonder if Taz has ADHD. It's probably undiagnosed in Britain and generally undiagnosed in females, her symptoms seem to suggest that is a possibility. It doesn't help that there's something like a three year waiting list in some areas just to be tested Writing this wide awake at 6 am and before she mentioned ADHD so good to see I wasn't barking up the wrong tree. Another thing: people with ADHD apparently click with each other and taz is the sort of person Is click with so maybe that's another sign

💛💛

@@ClickForTaz from now on your symbol fir gratitude is yellow heart 💛. Like bts is purple heart 💜.

@ I listen to it too! It's definitely my go to for days when falling asleep feels difficult!

i finished it a while back and if you haven’t read it yet i recommend’

This is a good advice 👍

Yes its true

yes 100% ! I found the same- I used to watch tv and play video games in bed in the afternoons and evenings and would struggle to sleep afterwards. Once I made the change of relaxing in the evening in the living room rather than my bedroom I found it much easier to sleep

This is absolutely true. I had very serious insomnia from about 14-23 and was at one point told by my therapist that it could be due to having poor “sleep hygiene”, so we tried sleep conditioning which was incredibly brutal but once I stuck to it, super effective. Basically it’s reconditioning your brains attitude to sleep. Essentially the rules were that I was only allowed on or in my bed when I was going to sleep. I had to have a set bedtime and wake up time that needed to be stuck to. Even if I fell asleep at 5am I still had to get up at 8am. The hardest part was the bedtime part, you get into bed and then if you aren’t asleep within about 30 mins you have to get out of bed and sit doing nothing stimulating (just reading really) until you feel tired and then try again. You do this non-stop until you fall asleep. I’m 28 now, and I do genuinely think my “insomnia” was just poor sleep hygiene. I stop looking at my phone at 9pm, wash at 9:30 and I’m in bed by 10pm and fall asleep within 10 mins, undisturbed until 6am. If I have friends around, they know to leave by like 8:30/9 because the second it hits 9:30 I start yawning and zoning out. My body is so conditioned that if I sit on my bed during the day within 20 mins I’m yawning. It was very difficult to do, because it’s all about discipline and at the start I was crying constantly because it felt like torture. But holy shit, my sleep is amazing.

I heard this so many times, but for me it just does not work. I never work in bed or do much of anything there besides sleeping, but I still struggle to fall asleep instantly. When I am on the sofa, where I often work and do other things, I could (and often do) fall asleep in an instant. It is so weird.

Try and have a break from taking meds for 1 day roughly every 2 weeks, I’ve seen a lot of people saying that this helps the drug be most efficient, as the effects can die down after a while for some reason. You’re best looking into it as I’m not sure on the exact details

@@niraw888v I think that's for stimulants, that's not what I'm on, but thank you.

@ ADHD isn't just about short attention spans, there's a lot more to it, and don't speak on it if you don't have it because there's people that do and it's rough

@@pg3618 Also please don't take medical advice from random person on internet. Please listen to your doctor who has the medical training and knows you.

@ Go sell your snake oil somewhere else. We don't need it here.

Don't tell people to stop meditation and replace it with exercise, its abelist, and dangerous. Not your body, not your say.

@@unfrgtblmemoriez they didn’t say stop meditating they said stop taking pills and it was just a suggestion calm down

@@unfrgtblmemoriez bruh what the hell LOL stop acting woke

@@unfrgtblmemoriez Why are you so angry? :D

@@unfrgtblmemoriez I am sorry.. Taz specifically asked us for what we do who struggle with sleep. And I have seen her do exercises before. So this was just another idea for her. She can take it or leave it.

Facts !!

Broo😩😩😩😩😩

I relate so much! Aside from other things *cough KZfaq cough* keeping me awake I do struggle with getting my mind to switch off. Like, I can be really tired, my eyes are dropping and as I settle down to sleep my mind wakes up. I should probably try sorting myself out a bit. Listening to music will probably help me.

Me too and if you don't do that the thought eat your brain out sometimes 🙃

I have two kids and husband, I just don't know how I could better myself... I just don't want to miss out my precious "me-Time" in the evening...

White noise is good for this x

Horlicks can help

She can use melatonin or allergy pills. Or ZZZquill

Zquil is the same as nytol

@@allisynstewart90 she can use melatonin

@@Truecrimeresearcher224 yes, and zzquil, nytol, etc are Benadryl aka diphenhydramine, which in the long term isn't recommended as a sleep regiment. It does work really well though. I've accidentally (1 wasn't working) taken 2 at work before knowing how bad it would be to take 2, because of an allergic reaction. Apparently I got so zoned out that when I went to the bathroom I was gone for half an hour.

half of these sound like a routine tho. like with young kids. Any routine you give them, they get used to while (them especiall) don't need it. for example; 'my kids need to be driven around or they won't sleep'

I have a blue light filter on my phone and tablet that goes on at 10pm at night. I used to forget about blue light and would be like till 2-3 am. Then go to bed and wake up like noon.

I hope things get better :)

@@KerriB 😭😭 thanks , I hope too I don't wanna lose another loved one it's SO HARD I CANT

@@bhawnapanjwani9977 hey im so sorry abt the :( do you have Instagram we can talk there if you don’t mind

Caffeine doesn't affect me anymore. But I usually go to bed around 11:45-12 am everyday. I get up around 9-9:30 everyday

SAME-

The very first weeks of pandemic were the most CALM period for me, EVER! It might sound crazy, but it’s true - the pressure of CONSTANTLY demanding world and uncatchable time was gone. I was at ease with just existing, doing things at my own pace and doing what I like and not feeling guilty 🙏 That said, these feelings are way GONE now 😢 Anybody an advice how to get it back without bringing another pandemic to the world? 😅

@@xmartinl Quarantine was good at first. Stay home and being able to relax was great. I go to bed now at midnight and wake up like 9:30. Which before I would stay up till 2-3 maybe 4-5 am then sleep and wake up at like 2 pm

I do the same, I think about made up stories and fall asleep quickly, that is what actually helps I think, having the routine to think about not real stuff, cause if not, I still have to think a lot and thinking about real stuff of my life will keep me awake, anxious, not able to fall asleep.... It similar princip to counting sheep 😁

thank you!

Hi, what about Melatonin?

Some of us need to go to sleep at 8pm if we need to get up super early for work.

@@ShortGirlsClimbCounters That is fine, but if you are someone like Taz who usually goes to to bed really late and wants to change their sleeping habit, then going to bed so early isn't going to work.

I used to go to bed late, it was hard to change it and takes a few weeks to adjust, but I made it work.@@mayrar6819

And if you rely on pills to make you sleep your body won’t produce melatonin the hormone that makes u fall asleep naturally it’ll always relay on the pills!

thanks for liking my post taz!!!!

I use ZZZquill and melatonin and my doctor prescribed me Benadryl so I have options to sleep

Also I use melatonin to help, idk if they have it in the UK tho.

U got this

@@Ginamations3267 HAHA thanks!! i hope sooo :"" but I've yet to get started, planning to do so after my exams are over zzz

In england its 5pm
