You're a LEGEND if you click on this video

[@TheNole]

I legitimately used this video to fall asleep last night. I only needed 3 minutes and 2 seconds out of the available 699 minutes and 45 seconds. Assuming that this video guides me into a blissful slumber at an average of 3 minutes and 2 seconds each night, this video should provide me with 230 well-rested nights. That is nearly 8 months. Thank you, Eric.

[@babafaal]

This is also me😂

[@PhilE415]

Same!

[@etypiccolo]

If you still need something to help you sleep after the video then read back your comment

[@clintoruss153]

Thenole how do u hold your phone while falling asleep, I lie on my right side and put another pillow under my right arm and close one eye and watch a variety of ASMR vids , and it works a treat, best technique ever

[@tpegecko854]

I wondered if I was the only one falling asleep in front of his video each day

[@clintoruss153]

When Eric said “ should I play tactically or positionally “ pls can someone explain to me what that means

[@bobnorwal]

Sure! Basically, what I think he's asking is "Should I play more aggressively, using tactics that are maybe risky but that could help me win the game quickly and in exciting fashion? Or should I play positionally (in other words, a little slower, more carefully)?" Your goal when you play positionally is to slowly and carefully improve your position, gradually taking over more of the board.
