I was a sleep walker as a kid and into my college years. I lived in the country and I would wake up in the woods. When I first went to college in Fort Lauderdale my dorm was a block from the beach and one time I woke up about a mile from shore as I was swimming. I then payed extra for a single room and started do what Steve does every night at bed time. This brought back memories. When I moved to Chicago I went to a sleep clinic and therapist and don't do it anymore.

Thanks for doing this analysis specifically on the sleep walking issue - I figure a full DID analysis wouldn't be appropriate until the series wraps up. Ugh, I felt so bad for Steven here, I can't imagine the bone deep exhaustion he *and* Marc must be going through.

I was a sleepwalker as a kid. One night I dreamt that my mother was calling me from our basement. I got out of bed, walked down the hall, through the kitchen, opened the garage door, went into the garage, opened the basement door, down the stairs and into the basement. I was halfway up the stairs on the way back when my mother found me having heard the door open. She shook me awake on the stairs. This completely terrified her. It was not the first time I slept walked, but it was the furthest and most dangerous episode. For months afterward, my mother would place a heavy piano bench across the hallway at night to either block me from leaving the hallway or wake me up.

As someone who's in psych 1, I always find these videos fascinating

I really hope more people realize how good this series is. It hurts me when I see people saying it's just another Split with a DID patient being depicted as a monster.

I started sleep walking in my late twenties when I started substitute teaching. It was high stress and always needing to be ready to answer the phone. I would wake up in the kitchen trying to make my lunch or I'd find my pillow in random place in the house.

I really suck at expressing and processing my emotions sometimes, however watching these therapist reacts videos somehow brings more of those emotions to the surface and i really appreciate all the thought and effort put into these videos. Thank you

So glad to know sleep eating is thing! About 6 years ago I was going through a lot and I started waking up in front of the fridge and I had been gorging myself. It was certainly alarming but I never considered it was a form of sleep walking. I got out of that situation and it stopped but it’s interesting to look back on because I was in my 20s as opposed to being a teenager. I remember I was also losing time whenever anxiety set in. I thought it could have been the medication I was on but my therapist also said I was dealing with alot emotionally that I just wasn’t used to.

This is so true on sleep or lack thereof. I once stayed up for 72 straight hours in college, cause I was worried, that if I slept, I'd miss my finals since they were all in the morning at 7am. HAHA. Yeah by the third day of no sleep I thought the mini fridge in the dorm was breathing and asked my roommate if she saw it breathing too. Her first response? "Mare how much sleep have you had?" My response? "LITERALLY NONE hahahaha."

Eating sticks of almond butter is a really specific example...

My half little sister was a sleepwalker. I used to wake up at 3AM to see her not in bed. I didn't know what or why it happened. Sometimes she just stand in the middle of room or in the kitchen and we just had to lead her back to bed or she come to my room. She outgrew it though and now I understand why it happens. (It also runs on her father's side of the family)

I'm a sleeptalker-and walker. I always know when I did one of the two. My dreams are more vivid, and I remember them better. And I'm never well rested when I was active in my sleep. Sometimes I wake up with bruises, or wake up because I've ran into the closet or the wall. Sometimes I wake my partner up (poor guy). Mostly comes in stressfull periods, but outside of those periods, I sleep like a baby angel. :)

While I'm not a sleep walker, I can interact with other people while still asleep. I've been able to text to my normal ability and one time I let my room mate in and had a conversation with him about how red my eyes were during a nap. The only reason I noticed was because things were moved around the room and all the keys were inside and the door locked.

Never been here so fast

If there’s a designated driver for people who are drunk I feel like there should be one for sleepwalkers

I can not express how much I love yours videos so much, your chanel deserves to grow much bigger. Your videos made me interested into human psychology.

Moonknight is one of my favorite marvel characters im excited to see what esle the show has for him and i hope they portray his D.I.D in a way that isnt ..well bad

I don't know if anyone has ever told you this, but you kinda look like Courtney from Smosh. I like your analysis of the reaction vids.

I’d be very curious to see you review West Side Story characters in the new 2021 adaptation on Disney plus. The relationships are so powerful between all the characters!

If your looking for something new to cover there is a really popular anime called Komi-san Can't communicate on Netflix might be a good one. It's about this girl with crippling social anxiety and her best friend trying to help her make new friends, it's really cute. I don't know how accurate it is but I always love your videos and would love to see you cover it

I love these videos! I think some of the inaccuracies you mentioned that Steven is experiencing might be intentional? I think one current theory of the show that New Rockstars I think put forward is that he's intaking information wrong about the world around him, generally speaking, or that the world isn't what it seems either due to his mental condition or due to Khonshu. For example, he apparently recited some slight inaccuracies about the Egyptian gods earlier in the episode, even though there was an Egyptian historian on staff for Moon Knight. We'll see it pans out of course, but I look forward to any future analyses about Moon Knight!

i really do love all your videos, the way you explain things is perfect for my mind to make comprehend. can't wait for your next video! and if you ever do heimerdinger in arcane I would be impressed.

i choose to think that steven wanted to fall asleep, thats what all the prep work was for, but was too nervous to actually do so. like playing with the rubix cube was just out of pure anxiety and just fidgeting with it . when he finally gave up on sleeping for the night, thats when he went for reading books.

Sleptwalk? As a non-native speaker I’d have said sleepwalked. But that could just be totally wrong. That said… Yay! I love you Arcane vids. And now this. My guess is that this series merits multiple visits from you. And of course: yay to the cosplay!!

I really need another video about episode two because he’s not a sleepwalker he has multi personality disorder and it would be so cool to hear you talk about that too

I just started watching Moon Knight and I'm impressed with the amount of information presented here about sleep and sleepwalking. I also love the white hoodie cosplay! It's simple yet highly effective.

I will say miss Dow, I have a case of Epilepsy caused by Cortical Dysplacia. When I was younger I got trained in martial arts and every single time I am free I do my training routine to keep my physical health up. The type of seizures I used to have were granmal but when I got older I got Absent seizures and I slip in and out of trances if I meet certain conditions but luckily the seizures have faded for 11 months but my friends have told me when certain situations happened and people physically threatened me I have seem to have a sense of space and reaction to incoming things when I am in a trance. Only those who approached me non-threateningly were able to guide me to a chair til I snapped back and they tell me what happened 5-10 minutes after. Fine motor skills seem to be uniquely accessible and it seems I act on auto-pilot when I am unconscious, there used to be cases when I was asleep and training and I woke up sore the next morning and my room-mate wasn't sure if I was awake but from this akward way I moved and from a "lack of a vibe or not responding to speech" he could tell I was in a trance.

This Was A Good 1ST Episode. 2 DAYS LATER STEVEN Misses His DATE. Thanks Marc.

I used to sleep walk when I was young. I'd wake up down the street sleeping under the tree with my cat. I've also had violent episodes. Once, in high school years, I thought I was being attacked. I cracked my bed in half, threw my dresser across the room and ripped a light fixture out the wall. I've even attacked a person once, but I've figured out it has to do with stress and fatigue.

oh good I'm glad you pointed out that the "staying awake" program was listing things that are commonly used to fall asleep because those are things that I do and I was suddenly second guessing myself lol

I sleepwalk and sleep eat and sleep talk but only when I'm very stressed out. there was about two years where I was working seven days a week. I'm an in-home geriatric nurse so I would have a patient during the week days and nights and weekends I would care for my bedridden grandfather. And it was during this time period that I would get up and sleepwalk and sleep eat and sometimes while sleepwalking I would peek around door frames and stare and it would scare the crap out of my husband. Luckily for me my dogs would always wake me up. I have a pitbull who I rescued and she is literally my baby. She sleeps in bed with me and whenever I Sleepwalk I would stand unmoving in one position and my dog would notice I was behaving weirdly and just standing and staring so she would paw my leg and her claws on my leg would always wake me up.

Another great video thank you!

I really enjoy your insights!

I think the staying awake program's recommendations are a spoof of what every specialist and neurotypical recommends for sleep. Insomnia has been something that I struggled with my entire life, lately I've been having negative thoughts like "sleep is impossible" and "I'm doomed to be tired forever." Currently my therapist is working with me on disproving my negative thoughts and developing habits for better sleep.

Thanks for this insightful video. Blessings on your day!

Ha! See Georgia? The filmmaking industry NEEDS you! NOT consulting you was a HUGE mistake on their part! And your cosplay! SO VERY on point as always. And, interestingly...is also reminiscent of the character "Claire" played by Rosario Dawson in season 1, episode 2 of DAREDEVIL. She only wore the outfit the one time, though.

Great video Thank you

I don’t know if you play video games too much, but I think you’d be able to find a lot of psychological insight in the game ‘Spiritfarer’- it’s a cozy management game about coming to terms with loved ones passing away 🥺❤️

Alright I had a feeling you would be reviewing this character and his diss active identity disorder. Plus moon knight is one of my favorite marvel comics characters.

Do a video on his DID

I just watched the episode 3 hours ago, so your video is really amazing surprise!!!

Glad you did it amazing

I hope you do at least one more video on his personalities.

I always love your vids

I was LOLing at the fact that the "Staying Awake" program suggested reading a book for staying awake while I can't remember a time when I've opened a book and immediately didn't want to sleep for a week like a bear.

I follow you on Nebula - and I saw that you've done one on the father and daughter from the first part of The Last of Us. I'll be honest. I'm probably not going to watch it. Just thinking about their relationship hits me as hard as the start of Up - though for obviously different reasons. I cry a lot. I know it's good for me. But I'm afraid how hard this one will hit me. Thank you for all the good you've done for me. And for everyone else.

Awesome video, Georgia! I did not think as much about the sleepwalking aspect, but it was great to learn about it :). You provide great insights. I look forward to your reactions to future episodes too. Do you plan to do a reaction to the Ms. Marvel trailer? Have a wonderful day :D!

I’m not a good sleeper, I walk around and talk often. I have sleep hallucinations and have had sleep paralysis. I always thought I would grow out of it but I never did.

White hood. Almost missed it in the first 3 seconds. The cosplaying is a great touch to the videos.

You should do the show heartland it’s 15 seasons it’s a big commitment but it’s worth it it tackles a lot of themes like loss and grief and love it’s therapist heaven lol

Great video! Wondering if you can do The Walking Dead in the future?

Was not expecting a video so early on Moon Knight, but was really cool to hear about sleepwalking (I am a big sleep-talker, so was very interesting) Also this looks like the most comfortable costume :)

Heyy great video as always ! I do have a question not really related but do you know about people having another people in their mind ? Asking for a friend (in my brain) (dawn this joke is gold)

There was one time an officer was talking to our class about sleepwalking and if they ever had cases like it and he said he had a case where someone can drive while sleeping if they take the same route everyday it’s in their brains to remember and so they can just drive while sleeping and I was a horrible sleepwalker

Working night shift at a call center. Felt like I blinked. Looked at my computer and realized I'd nodded off for two hours! Look at call log. I was taking calls and doing my job perfectly fine AND leaving detailed notes. Only happened once but it was awesome.

Hii, I am from India. I in love with your videos. Watching your videos was very helpful for me. Love what you do. And I like these contents too. Lots of love from me and and India ❤️.

A cousin of mine sleepwalked. I don't know if she still does as this was back when we were in our teens but her mom told us one time she started mumbling, sat on her bed, stood up and walked but tripped on something, and pooped her pajamas lol

when I have trouble sleeping i play blockudoku, it's like sudoku and tetris in one.

Very insightful, I have only slept walked once and it is super wired

Nice! It would be awesome to see you talk about Dead to Me, it's so underrated and interesting. Avatar the Last Airbender could be cool too 😂

I'd never want to sleep again if I saw Khonshu following me. Seriously creepy.

I am really curious about the butter thing you keep bringing up

I am thinking that he's not crazy but there is actually something possessing him. I never knew of this character but i like the show already.

My mother once catched my little brother (he was 3 or 4 I think), on the counter trying to grab a glass because he wanted some milk. Thankfully, my parents have a light sleep so any sound wake them easily.

Which marvel Disney+ show has been your favorite to react to? I feel like its either falcon and the winter solider or what if since those are the most videos you have of the shows.

I used to sleep walk most nights up to age 7. I did manage to open both front and back doors and leave the house on different occasions. My parents usually managed to stop me tho. I also remember getting some horrific nightmares that coincided with it.

pls 😭😭 I love the cosplay 😭😭🔥🔥

The butter thing sounds a bit especific...do you have any stories to tell us, Georgia?

I'm pretty sure Marc was the original alter. Marc and Stephen aren't the only alters.

My read of the show was that he'd been misled into self destructive sleep habits by his alter or someone else. He's obviously not in control of his life. Hey react to Viva la dirt league's new psychology based sketches, I think you'd love em.

just a gentle note on behalf of my friends who have DID/are systems: "multiple personalities" is not currently appropriate terminology--alters, headmates, facets, or aspects would all be better terms to use. thank you! 💖

Hey Georgia could you react to Mike’s MPD from Total Drama?? I feel like it’s more accurate than most MPD depictions I’ve seen but I’ve seen others with MPD say it’s still not 100% accurate. Would love to hear a professional’s thoughts!!

I don't think he does it anymore, but my brother used to sleep walk in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom, just straight up in the pitch black. I would wake up in the morning and have to deal with pee all over the toilet seat and floor. I swear that he hit everywhere except where he was supposed to. That was pretty annoying to deal with.

Not sleepwalking, but I have some fun parasomnia, specifically hypnopompic and hypnogogic hallucinations. Essentially, when I am transitioning to and from sleep, my brain projects dreams into my waking senses. I've punched my wall a few times thinking something was attacking me. It's connected to my hypersomnia, which is similar to narcolepsy. While my meds have dealt with the hypersomnia, I still get the hallucinations every few months.

I would love it if you would react and breakdown some characters from this anime called Attack on Titan. I feel like you'll have a field trip with it.

Where's episode 2??

I get the feeling Steven picked a random podcast that had a title he liked, assuming it would help without checking if the person who made it was at all qualified to talk on the subject.

I kinda "sleepeat" from time to time and i dont like it. Messes with my diet a lot and sometimes the things I saved for the next day are like gone. However strange thing is that most of the times i remember doing it, but at the moment couldnt stop myself, which is strange. I have tried to have minimal amount of food in the fridge and one time i "woke up" in the middle of eating the cats treats...I have never told that anyone, dont think it is THAT big of an issue.

When I was about 10 I use to sleep walk . One day my dad said in the middle of the night he heard the front door opening ( our deadbolt was loud when turned ). He looked around and opened the door to see something in the middle of the street...It was me laying in the middle of the road. I'm lucky my dad heard the door and was able to pick me up to take me inside .

Would you ever react to brother bear? 😶

Can't wait to see you do punisher miss dow.

Huh this scene is all the things you do to sleep not to stay awake... Little theory this is anjust his split personality trying to get him to sleep so he can take control

I remember a post on reddit where a person was afraid that someone was living in their apartment or breaking in but it turned out to be carbon monoxide poisoning

came to say you have a look of someone in WC3

one of my sisters was once caught at 3 am getting dressed and walking out the door to go buy some cold cuts... I mean.. yes.. we're raised in Italy, but still.. it was weird.

What about DID?

Le Horla de Maupassant

I know they aren’t related but Moon knight reminds me of the spirit of vengeance aka Ghost rider which was in Agents of Shield like there are moments when the spirit is in full control

You might want to check out She-ra in the future if you want to get invested into another show and do the same like you did with arcane (steven universe should be worth a watch too....oh and komi can't communicate [lol future content secured {jk}])

Is eating sticks a butter a common thing that happens while sleepwalking? 🧈 🚶‍♂️

omg eating butter? :-O didn't those people feel sick the day after? :-O

I once woke up in the kitchen in the middle of making some koolaid.

2nd😊

7 1/2 or more hours of sleep a night? eep

Steven isn't sleepwalking... He has DID. Like me.

i like you in white...and that thumbnail

Even with those eyes on the thumbnail, you are still so attractive...

I really hope you soon make a video taking about Priya from Tuning Red. Edit: And may even Mirium.

I feel like moon night kind of batman looking guy 🌙
