What Insomnia Feels Like | Animated Story |

This is another animated storytime video. This animation story talks about my struggles with sleep and insomnia. In this animated video, I give a description of my experience as a person who doesn't get a lot of sleep. I plan to make many more animated videos so stick around... pls... or else. I finished this between Midterms and studying for finals so I feel like a creature of the dark right now.

[@Ry_Ryai]

If the animation is this chill, I’m ok with monthly uploads

[@daviio]

my brother in christ, he only took 2 months, you wouldn't last a DAY being an apandah fan, or even worse, silksong

[@CHEF-hyphen]

ngl this animator hits different, the good type of different

[@ERICHALY]

[@Asteriixx_gae]

I heard there was a QnA heh..so here's two questions 1. what's ur fav food? 2. uhh what was the craziest thing you've done as a kid? anyways I hope ur doing good!! and take care of yourself bro💪

[@rosedelacruz8232]

No because this is so nice to see one of my favorite animators talk abt a subject thats so real. Like I remember not sleeping for 7 days because of extreme stress over college classes I couldn't control 😭🙏

[@Shrubby1337]

Damn. That's crazy

[@ureignhere]

For your Q/A : What's your art Inspiration, I've never seen your art style before (if i have i don't remember) your animation is gorgeous man 💜✨

[@your.average.octoling]

oooh for the QnA… 1. what made you start animating, or why do you animate 2. what is your favorite video game 3. what music do you listen to

[@005AJ]

Okay question - Why are you so cool fr Actual question - What made you want to make story time animation? And what made your artstyle look this way?

[@KelleyHearn-mp3vm]

I used to struggle a lot with sleeping and tart cherry juice really helped me sleep so much better

[@da-playwr]

keep up good work my guy, wishes to you getting better sleep too. 🙏🔥

[@sknight333]

Finished watching the vid bro do make sure to sleep dawg. How long have you been drawing and this is to help with the tablet Lol.

[@VelozAni]

Thank 😭you so much . I really appreciate it. It’s been about 3 years of drawing now I believe

[@TheRookCrows]

Having been an anxious kid myself, I can empathise with that anxiety just multiplying with age.

[@SaharshDevaraj]

man your arts style really stands out compared to other animators it looks beautiful

[@daisy_flowersl]

Genuine question(s) for the QnA how'd you come up with your channel name?. Another question is if you're going to stick to a certain topic or channels that mainly focus on vague or specific topics like rotten mango ORR switch it up every now and then with different topics in each video or concept!. Look forward to seeing your next video you honestly seem like a great guy with humor 😄

[@mreasterisland]

Love your videos man. Talking about important subjects like Stress, Anxiety and Insomnia is going to move mountains for other people. Keep it up!!!

[@shroomer3867]

Damn, I usually sleep fine but when I'm stressed I go to bed as usual at the normal time, then wake up after 2 hours in a sweat or my brain is thinking of some dumbass rules and then I can't sleep for 4 hours straight.

[@TheDemonChild69420]

Good to see you back my guy Also, for the Q/A, how did you get so good at animating, and how long did it take?

[@temmie_2283]

I love your style and vibes!

[@Scriptex_x]

[@justas423]

This is too real for my own bad habits

[@Jabinatorsadventures]

[@GhostyNpc]

I FINALLY FOUND YOUR CHANNEL BACK OMG

[@l-crystal_rose-l]

Bro insomnia is the absolute worst. Between not sleeping for days on end and feeling tired 24/7, it feels like a fever dream. Take care :) Question: why did you get started in art? Question 2: what animation software do you use?

[@that_artsy_kid]

Who is your LEAST favorite singer or celebrity and why? (Also I love your channel :D )

[@imthepieguy]

realest video ever

[@ghostycorp]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW VID 🙏

[@danieldan7713]

i feelyou, the difference for me is, ive got insomnia because i dont want the next day to happen, it happens a lot when i have to do stuff that i dont want to (helping with smoe documents for my family and shet, drains me, wastes my time) and because of caffeine, without it i cant work. it goes away when i stop with caffeine, but i get glutonous and cant concentrate on my tasks for uni(studying CS atm, processes arent yielding their timeslots propperly, i curse you), so im in a pickel of: sleepdepravation+stress and productivity or good sleep+little less stress and no productivity. (gotta be productive if i want to finish it soon, already past 3 years ffs)

[@pixeld8z]

LETS GO ANOTHER VIDEO

[@ziadmontasir2154]

[@natalievandeven7647]

Man hope you can get better sleep my guy Anyway l got two questions, l want to ask about your animtion, what made you choose, or made you inspire for this type of art form Second questions what your favourite anime that not a shonen

[@V_x1identity]

having insomnia is so dookie because i could sleep for hours but feel like i only slept 1 sec also question for the qna: if you could pick one thing to draw for the rest of ur life, what would it be?

[@sheilafortunato8831]

Bro is alive!

[@sknight333]

Yessir take your time g, but missed your vids big bro.

[@Armanthenerd]

I appreciate you pushing out these awesome videos, I really do. But if you have all of this other stuff to worry about and I feel like this channel only adds to that. Please take long breaks if you need it, we don’t want you dying at 50

[@XppleCutiie]

honestly seeing this video made me realize i might have the same thing which explains a lot. My memory is quite shit now. My question: what inspired or influenced you with your art style? its very unique honestly, especially paired up with the colors.

[@Luigimaestro]

here's something for the qna ig Does your family/friends know you animate? And if they do, how did they react to finding out, and how do they feel about it now?

[@Chosowife-p9x]

I had insomnia for like 6 years your not alone

[@_averageenjoyer_]

What you are discussing is relatable half of the year for me. I don't know why I have it. Been like that since I was a kid apparently. It's just back then I tried to have a rigid sleep scedule and that helped. But the moment I shift my schedule just a bit and it's screwed. Not just struggling to fall asleep but also waking up too early. Like after 4-5 hours of sleep. What is worse is that during summer it's almost impossible to fix. Fix being me medicating hard with supplements and melantonin in hope I fall aleep. The best thing I did this summer was bording up my window. This mostly fixed it but it had the added benefit of turning me into a vampire and it's not like where I live rn we get a lot of sunlight, so folks tend to be happy when it shows up. Also missing on that vital vitamin d. Exersising helps sometimes too but exersising sleep deprived is already pretty difficult. Anyway I wish you manage to find ways to sleep from time to time at least. Being well rested is one of the best experiences I have during those periods.

[@OfficialHaikyuSimp1GodSa-oo6fp]

My mom got in a crash almost a year ago, and she's had some problems driving. Her anxiety would spike, heart would race, etc etc. She had some trouble sleeping for a while. Her brain would flip out and spam "YOU'RE GONNA DIE!!". She still has some trouble with sleep and driving, but she's gotten better as she drove more, and did some sleep rituals. I know being sleep deprived is tough, but you'll pull through. I can't sleep because I always daydream, and draw at night. To anyone that's dealing with stress, anxiety, insomnia, anything of the sort.. You'll be okay. I know you'll be able break free of your chains, and set aside your inhibitions. I myself am still working on it, but I believe i can do it. And I believe you can too. So, please.. Make sure to stay safe, eat healthy, take your meds (if you need them), have a blessed week, and an amazing holiday.

[@thanduxolotshezi9710]

[@frop_8750]

Dude same. But I'm not even anxious. Not anymore anyways. And I don't have nightmares since I was 11. My brain just refuses to sleep for 2 hours at least, usually 3. And then it wakes up the second the sun rises.

[@Blu3burri]

For QnA: Speaking of insomnia, Have you ever experienced Sleep paralysis because of it? And if so could we hear about it? Its interesting hearing about different peoples experiences..

[@CopMop-tz2xg]

[@papersucks]

If you need sleep take a low dose of sleep medication it gets you a little relaxed but you can easily fight it off if you want but can sleep easier mainly on your own time Edit I'm not a pharmacist just using my experience

For some reason I thought insomnia was genetic, before But now that I’m watching this I realize Oh shoot I technically have had insomnia. Not sure where I stand on it right now, because… well last night I was up at like 2:45AM And then I woke up at 8:30 with a surprising amount of ease But I like these videos … I should really get to making more videos myself shouldn’t I?
