[@dylancarroll9520]

I wonder what company they used to create this video or if it was in house?

[@78buhu]

Legendas! Em português, please!

[@Twill_Health]

já tem as legendas!

[@shann9498]

huh

[@Hugo4424]

I love the content, and I love the animation. There's one thing I'd like to suggest to improve your videos in my humble opinion. Have constant audio in the background. When the narrator pauses, have some background music going on or sound effects like the koala cooking. It would really add to an already really high production value video :) Cheers!

[@yoginid672]

I love the pauses and silence. Life is over stimulated enough...

[@mackiceicukice]

Oh please no audio , no audio......so many videos with silly , distracting music....I love the pauses and no music.

[@wildfilmpro723]

he says think and dont think....Negative thoughts don't fight accept.... Funny... I think its sameee

[@dodec8449]

But he contradicts himself right? 'Let the negative thoughts come and go' 'Don't replay the worst parts over and over' 'Replaying the worst parts' is not something we always have under control, these are part of the 'negative thoughts'.

Koalas are great

[@boboloko]

"lie" down in bed not "lay" down.

[@andreafelton689]

I dislike talking animals

[@sophismpress]

Nice! But the koala needs an Australian accent!

[@constamarkx2363]

i usually wear a little of my favourite perfume or something that is not so "heavy" smelling

[@manuelaorb]

Adorable video! Good tips by the awesome Dr. Jared Minkel who has helped me with my chronic insomnia 👍👍🏆

[@jfu5222]

Thank you, I usually try to get the cat and try to make him purr me to sleep. That obviously won't always work out.

[@gardencali-arkansasstyle6995]

[@chungseng4155]

welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@legends6345]

Hi

[@VALERIYA1PROCKO]

Great tips! But it all requires intentional practice. You have to really believe that it will help to fall asleep. Especially if you are the person who have been worried about things at night for many years. It will take time to change the pattern.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

For many people the problem isn't the inability to get to sleep. The problem is waking up through the night and being unable to get back to sleep and also feeling anxious in the morning just before getting out of bed to start the day.
