i don’t have the luxury of being able to move all distractions out of my room. but even just charging my phone in another room as well as moving my tv to another room has changed my sleep immensely. great video and very informative stuff!
Oh awesome! I'm so glad to hear this! Thanks for taking the time to watch! Have a nice sleep!
Loved the video Aidan! Loved the humour - it was great to see more of your personality come through in this one, please do more! Really had me thining a lot about my own sleep hygiene, I'll have to give some of this a go! And fantastic, well composed and really nicely lit shots as too :)

OMG!! Dude -- I LOVED LOVED LOVED! this video so much. This is by far the best one you have made so far. Truly knocked it out of the park. The b-rolls, the humor, and more importantly I loved the experimented. So much so that I might actually try it for myself. Wonderful pice of work. Looking forward to more SUCH videos from you. You have outdone yourself man. So proud of you!

I'm a new subscriber, I really took your experiment seriously, and really appreciated that you gave the results to us viewers. Would definitely say that you're my new go-to channel!🔥❤️
We've genuinely kept it this way too! I'm super happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for a great video! It has inspired me to get rid of unnecessary things from the bedroom. And I feel great! 🙂
I like minimalism 💜
Brilliant! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and super happy you’re feeling good! As your body settles into a sleeping pattern you’ll only start to feel better and better!
Wow, what a great video! Great mix of knowledge, documentary style and humor :D. I can imagine how much time you have put into this one. Keep going ;).
Thanks so much dude! And thanks for watching! It did take longer than expected, but it was super fun and totally worth it! Thanks so much for the support!
Great video Aidan! Loved the humour too. Definitely gonna give this a try 😀
Thanks dude and thanks for watching! Do let me know how your experiment goes!! I’d love to know if it works for you too!!
wow, this video is so well produced! Love your humor and how you talk.
Keep it up!
Thanks so much man! And thank you for watching! 👊🏽
Ahhh I love your energy (and humour haha) :) Fantastic video Aidan! You've got yourself a new subscriber :D
Lovely to meet you both! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video! Also, super cute pooch!!!
Awesome video! It was very interesting, and I loved the humor you added to it!
Thanks so much mate. It means a lot you enjoyed it!
Wow, this video is actually amazing. Congrats! That's a good job 😊
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hi I just followed and I am already extremely loving the channel , keep working hard and you will grow extremely fast ❤
Hey! Nice to meet you! It’s awesome of you to sub and join the journey! I hope you enjoy my upcoming videos! 🙌🏽
Yet another great video, keep them coming! Your comedy is golden as well 😊
Thanks Cuz! I'm no Adam Sadler but I'm trying haha!
I got the TikTok on fyp and I just needed to watch it, can’t wait for the next video and for your channel to grow. Keep it up
Thanks man, this is really kind of you to say! I hope my you'll enjoy my upcoming videos! Have a great day!
Really enjoyed this video. I loved the humor. This month my focus is to improve the quality of my sleep 💤.
It’s day 2 and I just realized that my whole day time routine has to change. 😮
So your video was perfect for my own experiment this month.
Thank you for this topic. 😊
Hey thanks for watching! Glad you liked the jokes, they made me laugh too hahaha. Please let me know how you get on! I hope your sleep quality improves! 👍🏽
get an all natural mattress, and if you can't afford one, get a bunch of all wool army blankets and sleep on them
I appreciate the effort you put into this video and u motivated me to change my life
Dude that’s GREAT to hear! Please let me know how it’s going! You can do it! 🙌🏽
Great video, Aidan! I was going to move my bed to a spare room and make the bedroom my office, but it was still in 'thinking' stage. Your engaging video is helping me make my decision! Thanks! Keep the videos coming!
Sooooooooo?? You can’t keep us in suspense haha! What did you do??
Also, thanks for taking the time to watch!
That view out of the apartment is crazy
I actually loved this video and your energy
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to watch! I’m so glad you enjoyed! Have a great day and an even better sleep! 😊😴
I tried putting my phone away an hour before sleep and just relax, maybe play piano and also writing down my thoughts which helped clearing my mind
Awesome on the phone! And as a fellow pianist, this helps me relax too! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
What a great message in a fabulous well crafted video. What I will do first is use my alarm clock instead of my phone and force myself to read instead of listening to audio books in my phone. The temptation to browse is just too big.
In my case I might also need to restructure my daily routine to make way for the last hpur per day without digital devices. Thanks a million for your video. 😊
Hey! Thanks for watching! 😄 Sounds like you've got the determination to make the changes which is awesome! You could always try one thing first, then after a while of doing that add the next thing and so on. Or maybe just go full on like I did and change everything in one go haha! Either way, the fact you're starting is the main thing! Do let me know if your sleep improves and if you feel better for it! 🙌🏽
I came from TikTok and immediately subscribed ! Gonna show my dad ur channel too
Thanks for heading here! I know it can be a pain jumping from one platform to another so that’s super kind of you! 👏
This is actually a really well made video, im so surprised at how small your channel is
That's so kind of you to say, thanks so much! And hey, I think it's a good thing to start small. Learning, growing, changing and meeting like-minded people! 👊🏽💛
I love everything about this episode. Educative & funny.
OK time to go the the BED ... ROOM😴
Thanks man! I hope you have a great sleep tonight haha!
You deserve more views, I really enjoyed watching the video
Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed and I hope it helped!
hey I just stumbled across your account and I really really love your videos.
I can't believe you don't have that many subscriber
Thanks so much, that's really kind of you to say - I'm glad you like them! I think if I keep improving and putting out good videos (in my opinion!) people will eventually find them, like yourself! Have a great day!
homie deserves way more subs keep up the good work
Thanks so much for saying that! It really means a lot! And thanks so much for taking the time to watch! I hope your sleep improves if it’s not great already! 🙌🏽
Loved the vid, and as someone who has bad sleep regularly I the video really helped, just hopes you'd make a part of the video about what are the things that need to be done to have better sleep,but still amazing video and good luck😁
Hi! Glad the video was helpful! From about 1:29 I go into what hampers sleep, so it's basically the opposite of this.
Here's some quick tips:
1 - Keep your bedroom cool.
2 - Dim the lights an hour before bed and sleep in the dark.
3 - Stop using portable screens an hour before bedtime.
4 - Don’t use your phone in the first hour after waking up (this can help your sleep later that day)
5 - Exercise! You’ll sleep deeper and for longer as your body repairs.
6 - If possible, remove your bedroom TV or desk if it’s in your room.
7 - Aim for quietness, if there’s noise from neighbours or outside consider earplugs or compensating with brown noise or rain sounds.
8 - If you can, charge your phone in another room or at least not next to your head!
9 - Try reading or listening to an audiobook or podcast right before you snooze.
10 - Limit your caffeine intake in the second half of the day, try non-caffeinated tea or coffee!
11 - After a few weeks try to settle into a routine - your body’s really good at creating a sleeping pattern and soon you’ll have no problem knowing when it’s time to sleep and you might not even need an alarm to wake up!
I hope this helps! 🙌🏽
@@AidanBelizaire that helped so much, thank you for replying, just earned another subscriber. great video great editing and great jokes. cant wait to see more of your content
@@redbear6001 great to have you join the journey my friend! And glad the tips helped! See you in the next one! Have a goooooood day!
I appreciate your humor. So I subscribed! 😆
I thought I was the only one who appreciates it...... Hahahaha! Thanks so much for joining the journey!
I do love rain on a tent as well 🤣🤣🤣 best nights I had were camping! Sleep like a baby! Amazing video , makes every sense! Will take a few of these ideas on board! 👍😉
Haha! Me too. If you can get the tent up before it’s starts raining, that’s the dream right there!
@@AidanBelizaire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍😉
Love this video reached me a lot
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Have a great day (and night!)
Ok, you got me hooked with the humour ! May I say you have an incredible view from your flat ? This church around those huge towers is like a metaphor of time passing (man… maybe I need to sleep better, I’m seeing things ! 😅). +1 sub !
Hi! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for taking the time to watch and for subbing and joining the journey! I’ll try my hardest to make my upcoming videos as entertaining as possible for you!
Hmmmmm, with regards to your hallucinations, perhaps you can learn from them, or perhaps you should run away screaming haha!
I love your apartment! It's so nice!
Hey 👋🏽 thanks! It’s quite small but we keep it minimal ish to make it more airy and nice to be in! Thanks for watching! 🙌🏽
Love this video.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Love it! Thanks for making me laugh!
My absolute pleasure! Haha! Thanks for watching and have a goooooood sleep! 😴
Nice 💕
Great quality!
Thanks so much!!
The production quality on this insane!
Thank you! I'm really trying to make something as good as I can. Takes a while but I think it's worth it. Have a good day! 🙌🏽
-from tiktok- By the quality of the content i imagined it would be a huge channel but whatttt?? that's not fair btw I'm gonna try this wish me luck :)
Haha! Thanks for saying that but starting low and growing slowly is a nice journey I think! With regards to the experiment, good luck! Please let me know how it goes!
This is excellent. I think I'll give this a try! Thanks for sharing dude
Awesome man! Do let me know how you get on. Also, I checked your channel and instantly subbed. Your vids are great! I picked up a miyoo mini last year (believe it or not lol), mainly for travelling. It’s awesome. Thanks again man!
@@AidanBelizaire Ah thank you brother. That means a lot. I hope you continue making these kinds of lifehack videos - I certainly need them!!! How are you getting on with the Miyoo Mini?
@@RetroCrisis the next one’s about making your phone work for you. You may find it useful dude! It’ll be up in a few weeks. As for the miyoo, it just awesome! I love it!! The size can be a little annoying during a longer session, but, the portability totally wins that battle. Then again, I’ve heard there’s a larger one coming!
@@AidanBelizaire I'm looking forward to that - my phone is a major distraction lol. Ah I'm glad you're enjoying the Miyoo - theres nothing quite like carrying your entire childhood in pocket like that eh
@@RetroCrisis haha! If I had a Time Machine and brought it back, I’m not sure I could explain it, my little mind would explode!
Seriously thinking about doing the same!
Like a few things or the whole lot? Either way, please do let me know how you get on/if anything helps!
Loved this video. I'm a new fan i support you brother. Keep going👍🏻
Zenitsu!!!! Oh man I love Demon Slayer! Sorry, digression there haha! Thank you so much for the support! I hope you enjoy the videos!
Yeaa i put that pfp long time ago hah. I have a good feeling you're gonna be big on this platform. I'll comment on every future vid showing support!
@@zerfy7895 that’s awesome, thank you. 💛 Do let me know if I can improve anyway too! Have a great day or night! (Wherever you are!)
I'm gonna try it today man
Let me know how it goes please!
Great video once again! Another thing which I’ve found helpful is NOT eating heavy or drinking a lot of (water) just before sleep 👍🏽
Thanks dude! Yeah! Damn, you're right. I should've implemented this too! Thanks for educating me! Maybe for a part 2!
@@AidanBelizaire Yea there’s so much which CAN affect to sleep, but it’s so individual, so it’s just test and seeing by oneself what works and what not 🤷🏽♂️ Have an awesome day!
@@YasmineAndHenrik Couldn't have said it better myself. Take the ideas we read, then implement them and LISTEN to yourself. You soon know if they're working for you. Thanks mate, you too and have a great weekend!
Loved it
Thank you! I hope you have great sleep (if you don’t already!)
Very well done...informative and funny 😉
Haha thanks! People really liked you in the previous video BTW!
Just came from your tiktok! I’m a marketing major, nice job with the teaser video.
Duuuuude! Thanks so much for popping over! I know how much of an ask it is to jump from one platform to another so it's really kind of you!
Thank you so much
You have such a potential in CZcams
My absolute pleasure dude, thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks Olya!
Aidan, your videos are beautifully filmed and stories beautifully told. A masterclass in making a strong, compelling CZcams video. Awesome job!
Thanks man! That’s super kind of you to say, and thanks for taking the time to watch! How’s your day going? And how’s your sleep going?
I just subscribed. I love your Channel
Hi! 👋🏽 It's so lovely to have you here! How's your weekend going?
Interesting video
Hello again.... Haha!
I love the cinematic look and the angles. Are really really awesome. And the jokes were super funny. I really needed a video like this because lately I really face the problems you mentioned in the beginning of the video.
Btw, what camera do you use?
Thanks so much man! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to be more 'myself' in my videos. Will you make any changes to improve your sleep perhaps? Camera-wise I use a Sony a7s iii. I used to own a Canon C100 Mark ii but sold it last it year and upgraded to something both smaller and with better visual quality. I absolutely love it!
@@AidanBelizaire that looks really nice indeed. I'm thinking of upgrading to the same camera.
Yes, I will work on improving my sleeping schedule because I want to perform better during the day. So first thing to improve is waking up and sleeping at the same time every day. That is a good start. The phone and gadgets are next to eliminate from my morning and evening routine.
@@ittakestime.official Please let me know how your sleep improves dude! I'll really like to hear your experience. And regarding camera, we can have a call about it if you have any other questions! 👍🏽
great video
Thanks! I hope it helps!
Dude needs way more views
Thanks man! I hope you sleep is good! And thanks for dropping a comment!
Quick question, what do you use as under the mattress. I would love to buy one for myself
Do you mean the actual bed? (The bit that’s in two halves?)
Me watching this whilst I'm lying on my bed at 2am
Are you naturally a night person?
@@AidanBelizaire no
Great video keep going
Thank you!!
'Rain on tent' FTW 🙌
Hahaha it’s the BEST! Although I’ve been listening to brown noise too recently, that’s pretty good also!
Another reason why I don't share my 'Spotify Wrapped' - nice to have stumbled on your channel, have a great day @@AidanBelizaire
@@philghammond Hahaha! Wouldn't be a party playlist would it? Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! Have a gooooood day!
I'm 15 and I dont have a big house to move the room and the bedroom like you did. Should I just make my room cool and dark, have a salt lamp an hour before bed so I can read instead of using my phone and no phones and screens an hour before bed so charge them outside too?
Just implement what you can do with the space available to you! The things you've listed would all be a GREAT start! Or perhaps even enough! You could even do one thing (like make your room cool and dark) first, then after a week do no screens, then week 3 charge them outside etc.... Remember, test and try and customise for yourself. Use this video as inspiration to make a healthy change, then listen to your own body and mind going forward! I hope this helps! 🙌🏽
Nice video
Thanks and thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
This gonna be big one day
Thanks for saying that! I hope you get some good sleep! Thanks for commenting!
@@AidanBelizaire well i did indeed
@@nicocat1444 YES!! Great to hear!!!
I'm a minimalistic kind of person and would love an extra room with just my bed inside. But with 600 square feet/ 52 qm, it's impossible. But love the idea of it.
My sleeping pattern is nonexistent for hormonal reason. I tried it all, less electronics, fixed bed time, no heavy meals or drinks or exhausting myself so I'd be too tired to sleep. And I admit for a while I even tried sleeping pills. But my sleep doesn't improve. It's a "good" night, when sleeping for 4 hours in a row. And I'm suffering from "Schlafapnoe", that's CPAP. Getting older sucks 😢
Hey thank you for sharing. *this is NOT medical advice* but have you researched into L-Theanine and Apigenen? Perhaps they could help. Also, how about listening to beta frequencies or something like brown noise…? It might help too? I really hope you find a solution, sorry I can’t be of more help!
@@AidanBelizaire thanks for the information. I'll try it out. Maybe it'll help.
@@EsterHorbach-it9tb if that helps or you find anything else, please let me know! Best of luck! 🤞
@@AidanBelizaire I sure do. Thanks for your kind words. Have a nice day. Greetings from Germany.
"I think am floating" 🤣
Hahahaha, If I sleep too well I have to wear weighted pyjamas....
🤣sounds like a plan@@AidanBelizaire
keep it up
Thank you!
If you want to take you sleeping set up to another level of health and simplicity, ditch the mattress, and get an all organic 3" futon.
Wait, how would that work? I'm just over 6 foot. Or is it 3x2 once folded out?
Here from your TikTok.
Thanks so much for popping over! And for taking the time to check out the video! That's really awesome of you!
ur underrated.
As long as just one person likes my video, it's totally worth it. That's super cheesy, I know haha, still true though!
Omgosh 😂😂😂😂the guinea pig fact🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹
I know right!!? Super cute!
Read somewhere that mattresses double in weight over a certain number of years due to dust accumulating. Yw
Siri didn’t tell me that!! 😱
@@AidanBelizaire lol, but not with a hypoallergenic dust cover! Then you’d be good 😊
@@abmrose instant purchase!!
I have tinnitus so rain is great :) unfortunately the app is on my phone and any sound machine is not available in my country so...😮❤😂
This wouldn’t be a problem here in Manchester. It rains ALL THE TIME 😅
Is there not a recording device or something you could use? Or just keep your phone in your room but only use it for this purpose..?
Hi
He is defenaly going to BE famous
Hey I'm really glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching! 😃
Don't let the door slam.
Haha! Hey thanks for watching!! 🙌🏽
So you built a BED-DER ROOM 😎🤣 sorry bro, my jokes are always there to ruin everything! Anyway, great video!
Hahahahaha, classic. 😆
I think the real reason you aren't getting a good nights sleep is twhat can be seen through your window - a church (cathederal?) with a huge clock and bell tower. :) :) :)
Get rid of that and you will sleep like a babe :)
A fun video. Thank you.
Hey thank you for taking the time to watch and you're totally right. In fact, on Sundays the bells ring for hours and not even in any specific pattern... I'm convinced (whomever rings them, bell boys?) got into the communion wine before hand and just went crazy haha!
I hope you're very well and thanks again for watching! 🙌🏽
I have too much clutter and I feel like I need to get rid of things probably by gifting, donating, and selling to make it better and less stuff
That sounds awesome! I mean, only do what feels right! You could always start small by removing/gifting just a few things, or are you going to jump in at the deep end?
Might start slow then pick up the pace because with a cleaner and less cluttered space makes room for better sleep and clear thinking@AidanBelizaire
@@saraevelyn3558I couldn’t agree more! Good luck! 🙌🏽
My phone is changed in the bathroom and I use the alarm means I have to get out of bed to turn it off
Awesome! Has it helped you? Not charging it in your bedroom?
@@AidanBelizaire yes but I have a major road outside my house so the noise from that
@@lindabourketempleton4040 I see. Well, you can only do what you can, so if that’s the case, that’s ok. Or you could try earbuds as an experiment, see if that helps further!
lol it was funny when the bed fell on you
That bed is such a diva - doesn't take direction AT ALL hahaha!
Hi
Hey thanks for watching!
@@AidanBelizaire thank YOU, for doing amazing videos 💖
Any tips when you don't have the free space like you.
I think when watching any video suggesting, well, anything, it's important to test and try for yourself and work within your situation. So, if you don't have another room, perhaps just try having your phone charging somewhere else. Are you co-living and that's not possible? Then perhaps set a screen-time rule and don't check right before bed or after you wake up etc. Just do what you can. It's not about doing everything, it's about doing something. I hope this helped!
@@AidanBelizaire Thanks.
@@mikelarry2602 My absolute pleasure man! Have a great sleep! 😉
hi
Hi thanks for watching!
i probably shouldnt watch this at 1 am
I Saw the vidio tinking he had +1 M sadly he don't have
Hello again! I think I replied to your other comment. One day...... 😉
not the M&M's and the Reeses's NOOOOO
I know… 😭 I was crying on the inside trust me 🤣
Hi hehehe
I was scrolling on TikTok then i realized that i should come here to see the rest, i knew there's something odd in the way i wake up after sleeping and how much it affects my whole day and now i feel motivated to make the first step in my journey to become more, thank you for your effort 🫡
@@simoaouelcadi5912 Thanks for heading here! I really, really hope this helps you get better sleep and thus, a better day! And then another awesome day, and another! Good luck on your journey! 💪🏽
I feel like I watched so many videos telling me the same things but I still don't do it. WHy??? There are no downsides to it so there shouldn't be a reason not to.
Hey! I don't understand....? You mean there are no mentions of downsides (cons) to doing the things that'll help you sleep better?
Oh wait, I think I understand (haha, took me a while) - You mean you don't know why you can't try the tips/stick to the things?
Yes exactly! I know what I can do to improve my sleep and I want to, but I don't...@@AidanBelizaire
@@stiend I get you now, thanks for explaining haha. Hmmmmm, tbh, it can be a pain in the ass doing everything I did in the video all at once. But perhaps you can just do one thing, like charge your phone away from your bed/outside the room. You could totally do that! And you never know, it might make you consider adding another thing to the list to get better sleep! 🙌🏽 If your sleep is ok now then maybe you don’t need to do anything haha! But I’m pretty positive it’d get better for you! Either way, just implement some things if and when you can! Best of luck and do let me know if you do! 🙏🏼
So, as a fellow experimenter... how does your gf deal with your ideas of messing up regular life? 😂
If she sees positive results she made the right decision going along with it. If she doesn’t, then it’s my fault she’s inconvenienced, and I have to make it up to her…
Hahaha, only joking! She’s up for trying most things! Just needs a little convincing so I usually have to pitch ideas to her haha!
Great video, Now I need another room to keep only my bed🤣. As soon as I can I will for shure💪🏾
Thank you! I think it’s totally to just do/work with what you have! Just implement what’s possible!
