why you CAN'T SLEEP｜While I'm Making Coffee #23

[@NicolaiLol]

I always click on your videos the moment I see them, I don't drink coffee, I don't play fighting games, I don't have a switch but I still love everything you post lol

[@Saintmadman]

I drink coffee occasionally & play fighting games :)

[@willa8720]

Same here

[@lancinekeita4823]

Then you're here for him, he's a pretty cool guy.

[@3polygons]

Me, I play fighting games sometimes (less and less due to work) late at night, can drink a coffee in the middle of the night, and still fall asleep the moment I touch the bed. is like an automatic switch, lol. But these aren't good things to do... Actually, none of them.

[@shouyo7157]

SAME BUT I DRINK COFFEE! HES ACTUALLY ENTERTAINING TO WATCH AND YOU LEARN A LOT FROM HIM.

[@ozandis127]

You are actually one of the most interesting people I know. You seem to be so happy and have your life together. I love your videos so much, keep up the good work! :)

[@masons4425]

Shut up yin yang

[@lovelesschord]

I can agree with you nihongo. Spend so much time collecting steam games or dreaming of playing, then when I get around to trying I might not be in the mood and just say "that would be cool to play but the motivation just isn't there", so instead I do something passive like watch tv or listen to music and feel awkward for wanting to play but not go through with it. Also the night owl routine you described is similar

[@sunpi]

He makes me wish I liked coffee!

[@captainfozzer858]

sunsbookishgamesx too true... Too true... 😂

[@Saintmadman]

I didn't like coffee until Persona 5. Since then I enjoy my freshly grinded Guatemala shb French press coffee! ^^

[@DoodleyDoodah]

im a tea person

[@banishedair4518]

It's an aqcuired taste. Meaning you have to have it several times before you start liking it. It also helps to use fresh beans and water that isn't too hot, as if these things aren't present, it can make it taste stale and bitter.

[@MizukiUkitake]

@@banishedair4518 Actually, it's all about how it's made. If you don't like common coffee, consider white coffee (more easily found as blonde roast from Starbucks, though Starbucks still burns it a bit). It's not nearly as bitter nor strong, and even I can tolerate a few sips without flavored creamer. If you go to an espresso stand, I recommend ordering a double shot white coffee mocha with extra chocolate. It's what my mom ordered when I was little, and it's what I drink now. I've introduced it to a few people, both fans and haters of coffee, and everyone I've had try it really enjoys it.

[@Alex-bp8bp]

Same bro... I'm watching this at midnight ,' p

[@diegopenya9349]

coolie 23:35 here Gotta wake up at 5 😭

[@Kayo501x]

Go to sleep. The video is still here in the morning.

[@2Vilapupu]

get in my level, 10 in the monring after wakin up at midnight

[@bengaming1349]

Me too

[@whyisthisathingnow...]

The irony is no lost on me, as I am doing the same haha

[@hbarudi]

I don't drink coffee at all, but what prevents me from being early is those headaches and back pain. If that get better, I can do better at university. Another great video to watch.

[@jaredalbin5658]

Man this is life changing stuff.. I've been working on this this too. I set an alarm at 9pm called "Healthy sleep". Time sharpening your axe is time well spent.

[@thetrueagle]

I'm loving these 'discussion over coffee' videos! You offer some really interesting insight in them and I always look forward to the next one.

[@Ruwuri]

I don't have trouble going to sleep, I have trouble staying awake.

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

Meeee xD I am very used to sleep on the ground too because of a time in my teenage i did this, and like, if i get lazy or sleepy, i can fall sleeping on the kitchen whitout problem lol xD

[@xelaomeg7982]

I have the opposite problem Wanna trade?

[@collin3012]

Love the coffee making vids. Not sure why, but its the perfect setting for a discussion.

[@jaredalbin5658]

This is my second time watching this vid, and I don't normally do that. Your stuff is so chill man. You helped my lunch break time.

[@slapchopper200]

I love that there's so many coffee videos lately. It's probably my favorite series on this channel.

[@jamesreynolds8419]

I don't know exactly why, but I just love watching your videos. Its just so relaxing to me, and the topics you talk about just make you seem like an intellectual and interesting person. Keep doing what you're doing man!

[@CollectorsDomain]

You're one of my favorite youtubers. Your format breaks the typical mould and your videos always seem fresh. Other channels tend to put too many videos out like on a daily basis and content becomes stale, but as you said in another video I know you only create videos when you really feel like you have something to say. Thank you and please keep up the charming work!

[@Splttt]

You made me change I the way I look at life

[@JunnBryanTrongcoso]

Used to work at a coffee shop (bit too long if you ask me). Too fine grind does change the taste because the water is then spending more time in contact with the coffee because it's going through slower resulting in a stronger taste. This isn't necessarily bad, so long as you're making the adjustments consciously.

[@Zeldapawor30]

Why don't you wet the filter first to get rid of the filter taste?

[@KillerTacos54]

This I can actually really relate to. As much as I hate people telling me phones are bad, I do have to agree with it on this certain aspect

[@gravekeeper77]

I used to sub for ps vita videos but now I’m always looking forward to coffee videos and just listening to topics like these. Keep doing it man this series is awesome

[@12370david]

Absolutely loving all your videos man. 1 or 2 days of the week when you do upload, I make always sure to make space for your videos in my "me time".

[@thecheerio3630]

Wow perfect I literally couldn’t fall asleep last night I was watching your videos to try and help

[@alexk1418]

So much important information and Revelations in this video. The importance of being "bored" increasing creativity and inspiration. There are recent studies and articles that talk about this ! Think there are some ted talks too. Love these videos for this topic. Makes me happy I'm not the only one interested in this.

[@fernandjamolangue7613]

we'll your right. Same to me. Lots of thinking. Haha more coffee

[@arianadourre]

Same things used to happen to me. I'd get into bed and it'll be a good two hours before I even go to sleep. Recently I started playing either podcasts or a audio book on sleep timer, and it has helped so much. Ten minutes in and I'm a sleep.

[@ricksanson5878]

I connect very well with you on this nihongo, its nice seeing you figure out and change your habits in order to make life generally easier for you, and how its a very positive effect. Thank you for your advice and generally how you feel! Keep up the great work!

[@MirchiBoy]

I appreciate your effort in content creation. I hope you get your sense of smell back.

[@666PANDEMONIUM]

Man, why did you have to post this in the middle of the night? You got me.

[@Maikacir]

I can relate to this problem so much. I might just give it a go, at leaving my phone in another room. Thanks for the insight!

[@DeejayTheMenace]

I stare at my library all the time. I would even watch the game on KZbin instead of playing it myself which is weird.

[@alexk1418]

Jason Tyler think it's cause watching KZbin in excess just makes your really passive and the internet is making our attention spans shorter. Gaming would take effort

[@adamled99]

I have such a large backlog that I don't even try. :P

[@Saintmadman]

hahaha I caught myself in that! Just like you, I would watch the game on KZbin instead of playing it myself! How stupid is that?! x)

[@jasonbrody1619]

WeGood how come? I mean yeah at somepoint it does but how on this topic?

[@ya-rx8nd]

I do it sometimes too. I think it's because sometimes I don't want to dedicate my time and energy into it myself since I might have other things I need to do in a bit, and with videos they're organized into parts so you know how much time it takes.

[@MizukiUkitake]

"Bed is brain time" No thank you. I'd rather not be alone with my thoughts.

[@MatchaFlash]

This video actually motivated me to attempt to change myself; I always find myself chastised for waking up later and I'm never actually able to do much with my free time haha. Let's see if this works :) great video

[@LunaQueeniemon]

Black coffee is actually good for you and the a nutritionist here in the US said it’s healthy to have a cup of black coffee a day.

[@unitychansmmd3905]

Well I did try it and now I woke up totally refreshed! I still have phone in my room but I didn't play it much at all. What I do is try to do all that "you stuff" in the living room. Then when I'm back to my room I will just set up my (phone) alarm if necessary then sleep. Also airplane mode on the phone too. So the goal here is to do nothing in your sleeping room but do everything else in other room.

[@digitalartist3750]

As soon as i wake up i exercise with water, have "breakfast" around 8-9am, then have coffee at 12am or 1pm.

[@awesomegamingandtech1045]

Yes, I put my phone away from my bed. When the alarms sounds off in the morning, it forces me to get up to turn it off. For coffee, I use to drink it every morning but got off of it because it made me feel sluggish evening. So now I drink it on the weekends. Cheers

[@RetroHiDef]

I'm here to see japan through his camera lens.

[@jameslee9099]

Nihongo, another great video! Your videos inspire me to improve my life every single day. I hope all your followers agree!

[@protracteer7167]

Kind of unrelated but I’m glad I have the notif bell on. This didn’t show up on my subscription box.

[@eKillerist]

Thanks for your advice bro. I ll try them!

[@jamesdoyle2623]

Hmm... this is interesting, definitely going to give this a go I think!

[@jimbocarrino763]

I really love this series, coffee, and your channel.😊

[@boombeatz27]

Im watching this two hours past my bedtime.

[@raphidy17]

Ha, I don't have a problem to sleep, but to keep sleeping! I usually find a 4-6h sleep and wake up in the middle of the night. Then drink coffee in the morning to survive the day at work. My solution when I can: physical tiredness. I played a lot of sport when I was at school and I think this routine keep me awake in the night when I transitioned to a salary man w/o time for sports.

[@aftertheshowmoviepodcast]

I have no trouble sleeping, I could sleep 18 hours a day if left alone lol

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

Lucky you, I wake up every damn hour lol

[@Rustyhound-Cartoons]

ascullydotcom Once I finally fall sleep, I can sleep for 12h+ but the problem ia getting to the point where I can sleep

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

Rustyhound That used to be me lol, man how I wish I can return to that kind of sleep, I'd trade trouble falling asleep for constant interrupted sleep any day

[@KenKen004]

Coffe.

[@AnimeUpR1se]

huh Didn't expect to find you here

[@wujuswagstyle9728]

Eww

[@danklols9870]

How did you get here

[@Falcryx]

boi

[@YumekoAtsuki]

You spelt Coffee wrong..

[@charleshughes4763]

i love the amount of videos and topics you’re putting out now

[@SameriddAndCave]

About to start college courses again and a shit ton of class because I slept in. Thanks for the vid, just bought a sunrise alarm clock instead of relying on my phone because of this video.

[@ernstwesterbeek9668]

Wow, your videos make me feel relaxed.

[@DenzNoble]

Relaxing video

[@Markivoryy]

it's 8:15 am and I've yet to fall asleep thanks to this device

[@flint857]

Also I love your coffe vids, please dont stop making them

[@chuduuu]

Rewatching this for the third time in a row. So much wisdom. I'm also checking out alarm clocks.

[@d.kelvinchan1138]

I go through the same thing myself but I found decaffeinated coffee works wonders in the evening.

[@lovelesschord]

that coffee mug with little witch academia is cool

[@Taiknight99]

For most of my devices I use a blue light filter app. I also bought a pair of Orange goggles for my devices that don't have that filter if I want to play/use those at night.

[@rearlafull2870]

friend got rid of the television because he thought that he wasted to much time watching it, yet now waste as much time checking his phone

[@johntiter2825]

I remember that karate teacher told me to put my alarm (phone as well) across the room so that it forces me to both get sleep and get me out of bed in the morning. It was pretty effective in regards to both those things. The point is I didn't think anybody else actually used this method too lol. P.s. I love your mug. I wonder where I can find a little witch academia mug too...

[@itsTheCurry]

Tell more about your high school dance please:')

[@fredrikskogberg6449]

I can relate with the staring at the screen thing. When my girlfriend goes to bed I always think I’m gonna stay up a bit and play some video games that I’ve been longing to play. But when I sit there I’m just, meeeh! And watch something on Netflix or go on the ps store/neshop and browse and buy more games. But for some reason I don’t feel like playing them. Maybe because I’m too tired and just want to relax. And I know playing video games isn’t exactly working out but you do have to put in a bit more effort than to just sit and watch something.

[@Osideskyler]

I thought I was the only one who would just stare at my games library for what seems like hours

[@mistercrow6263]

holy crap this is SO relatable on so many levels, specially the part in which you stare at your Steam library

[@RighteousMane]

It's funny, a while back I had the same experience with my phone and sleep. I ended up putting my phone on the other side of the room and using a real alarm clock. That helped for a while... until I started reading things on my laptop in bed -_- I'm hopeless haha. BUT, I did recently pick up a Kobo ereader and have been loving it. I've been reading more at night, falling asleep easier, getting up more refreshed... I think there really is something to this. Now I just need to put the laptop over with the phone, and I'll be a master of mornings... I hope.

[@realevostevo]

Ha ha, I went through a phase when I drank coffee at night. I really enjoy a nice hot drink, hot cocoa just didn't cut it and coffee really hits the spot. Got tired of waking up a couple hours after falling asleep though, had to kick the late night coffee drinking. Plays with the hours too much, a really good mid day thing to do. Caffeine wears off right before bed time and I actually sleep better that way.

[@belikezack]

I don’t drink coffee but I drink alot of soda. Could that work too since its cutting out caffeine after 4pm?

[@pedror2917]

great insight man, keep it up!

[@boombeatz27]

Also if you're wide open in the middle of the night a good way to tire yourself is to engage with solid meditation and breathing. I picked up 5 different techniques from the Calm app and use a couple of them with a youtube video of a tibetan bowl ringing every 5 mins. After 15 minutes I feel sleepy as a baby!

[@matttcameron_]

Also, I try not to drink coffee later in the day. I'll make myself a bowl of matcha or cup of green tea if I feel like I need a little boost since the caffeine buzz really isn't the same from them and won't actually keep me up late.

[@OttawaHunter22]

Inspirational, thank you.

[@hieudosy]

Thanks for this! I have the same issue. Now all my screens are very far from my bed xD

[@omnipossum92]

I actually use an old radio alarm clock. The alarm sound is soooo effective at getting me awake. I still use my phone for alarms to remember to do things or to leave the house to catch public transport though. Also, I can't have coffee after midday and be tired enough to sleep properly. Although I do aim to sleep at 10pm-ish so I can have more time in the morning.

[@omnipossum92]

To add to this, it really helps to do a lot of stuff the night before, like have clothes all laid out. You could take it to the point where you have overnight oats or chia seed pudding all set and ready.

[@marcoslorenzi729]

This video was the thing that will help me Thanks for the lesson, also your not the only one that stares at the steam library doing nothing i personally thats a commonthing to players.

[@NeoJiNeTiK]

11:09 I'll stare at my screen for hours on end... Combine work fatigue with lonely depression, I suffer from this all the time. It's sad to say that if I'm actually getting in some game time, it's a healthy thing now!

[@erebusparcae]

i have the same thing late sleeping... from 2-4-5am,,, staring at the steam library for hours choosing the games you want to play it... becoming indecisive and just do something else..

[@maccyknife1]

Yep, the bedroom must be for sleeping only. My Ex was super angry at me when i tried putting a TV in the bedroom. But yes there have been a lot of studies about this issue, and it is recommended that you only sleep in your bedroom, dont watch TV, or be on your phone or tablet in bed, etc... once i removed all destractions from my room, i started sleeping much better.

[@futuredeath]

Great video, I should do this myself.

[@NkSpeed1]

I love your mug, its very nice.

[@juankaos20]

Love your videos @NihongoGamer keep up the good work!

[@santiSS-kx8kz]

Your cup its awesome ! I love it! Plus ur video is quite good, new sub here

[@matttcameron_]

I do spend a lot of time staring at the screen deciding what I feel like playing... I started sorting by what games are installed so there are less and install just a few games so I can focus on like one or two at a time until I complete them. Also, I've uninstalled most of the games/apps from my phone so that when I'm idle and pull out my phone I'm more inclined to jump into memrise or another app where I can practice japanese instead. Also, I've rediscovered my kindle as well and I'm trying to get back into that rather than gaming or using my phone instead. Kindle paperwhite is nice because you don't get that blue back-light that is apparently bad for you before bed.

[@thetexasgerman190]

You’ve probably been asked this before but will you do an apartment tour now that you have moved in

[@kimruan4256]

little witch academia 😊

[@lomg1740]

I changed my habits. I wake up at 4 am. Mainly because of time and energy. Whenever I came home from school I am too tired and demotivated to do stuff.

[@omgwtfrofltomato]

Thank you for this video.

[@itsTheCurry]

I put my phone about two metres from my bed so i have to get out of bed when my alarm goes off, and i also cant check it from my bed. It works great for me to get up at 4:30 in the morning:)

[@hammadali9414]

That Coffee looks like a chocolate muffin

[@wolfxtreme2092]

I know right!!! ;-)

[@Belgarathe]

Coffee for me I usually have later in the morning like 3 hours after waking up. Supposedly this maximizes the caffeine kick without the crash during work time

[@OrchidEleven]

Great vid!

[@MetaWulfTV]

*Starts explaining things while pouring coffee. Me- I can't understand what you're saying but that coffee looks nice.

[@Saintmadman]

same here. when I see that nice looking grind, I hear but I don't process

[@rafindeed]

Im in a very hard design school right that the program is so intensive that i literally don`t have time to sleep. Every day is basically wake up 9, work in class until 6, come back to home, work from 7 to 3-4 am every day. Repeat.

[@dehydratedculture9126]

I always click on your videos when I see them. I drink coffee. I enjoy street fighter. And I have a switch.

[@Maahduude]

This is so true, this is probably why I can sleep for 10 hours and still feel like shit. I will try this now :)

[@SE6077]

I don't drink coffee, but I still suffered from falling asleep for a few hours sometimes to panic attacks or not being able to lay still for a few minutes. But I found a solution for it: audio books! I used my free trial for the complete sherlock holmes on audible (70+hrs) and I fall asleep within 10 minutes. If you struggle with sleeping like I did, I highly recommend this!

[@BrianOblivionB]

I usually put on some nice music or listen to an audio book...... works fo me

[@shaunonsite]

I have zero trouble going to sleep. I give me self an hour off of electronics before I hit it. I read a book, drink tea, and listen to jazz or classical music before going to sleep.

[@Skylancer727]

I make stories in my head to fall asleep. Otherwise I could lay down for 1.5 hours without falling asleep. But I'm an insomniac and it is a proven that insomniacs are less likely to wake up quickly or feel refreshed after sleep (but they are also known to get more awake after 2 o'clock while morning birds start falling apart around 4 o'clock).

[@RoyaleDva]

Skylancer727 I've been making sure in my head since I was a kid, it helps a lot and plus can make great ideas!

[@Skylancer727]

RoyaleD.va I've practically written a book in my head (I've been doing it since I was 5 so nearly 15 years). Maybe I should publish it some day.

[@Redbullets100]

Dammit I’m addictive to these type of videos

[@Eight8411]

My me time is from 9pm till 11-12pm where I play overwatch for 1-1 1/2 hours then have a KZbin video running but not really paying attention. I used to have morning headaches but that changed when I got a dimmable lightbulb, for f.lux for the pc and phone to reduce blue light. I’m usually working 10-12 hour days but still don’t feel tired till 11ish, also changed my coffee from between 3-5pm to before 3pm, only thing I see that needs changing is not checking phone in the morning. Probably give that a shot this week.

[@kutaoizumi4189]

*Sees Little Witch Academia mug* 10/10 best channel on YT!

[@ojgreen743]

You sound just like me. brought the Kindle Oasis just so I can get back into reading time.

[@dandanjambon]

I love your Little Witch Academia mug
