Everyone knows that getting a good night's rest has a bunch of health benefits. Lack of sleep can lead to everything from morbid obesity to schizophrenia. But this week on WellCast, we're looking at a slightly more obscure benefit of sleep-its effect on your creativity. We're going to see if getting two and a half hours more a week will uncork those creative juices. Did it work for you?

I usually get my creative juices flowing around 10 or 11 at night. I draw and write and when I feel tired enough to sleep I go to bed. :) when I wake up I'm not creative at all :p
Lol I'm just like you!!😊
I don't know.........I feel my drawing skill increases when I am tired and it's when I get some of my best ideas for my stories.......
well when you wake up you are something like tired but reversed where you are getting less tired gradually
Same here. thats the main reason I stay awake late
I stay up late to then get EXTREMELY creative, i usually can draw so well and make beautiful art.During the day, i cant draw anything and i have a hard time coming up with things to draw.
there is usually a particular time where the imagination spikes at night when i START getting sleepy but not really sleepy enough to sleep.. but really often times I have drawn something when i was super sleepy and woken up and found out that it didn't look as good as i thought it did at the start..
Same, I only get like 5/6 hours of sleep a day.
I've been going to bed at 2:00 am for a very long time and I noticed that during the day I would be in such a bad mood if anyone told me to do something. I would just be on the interenet all day hoping I wouldn't be disturbed. NOW I force myself to sleep at 9:00 pm and its really made a difference in my life. I help out a lot more and I pay for attention. Thank you for the video.
Oh my goodness, THANK you! This video and the facts it includes are... personally revolutionary! I struggle sleeping allt he way through the night, and just end up staying up, procrastinating for a while before I go to bed... way later than I probably should! I'm also a VERY right-brained person (score out of 16 on an accurate psychology "which side dominant" test: 15 Right, 1 Left...) So naturally, I'm VERY creative, and my creativity feels like it's slipping lately... I can't WAIT to try this!
I have done this ever since i was 9 yrs old! it helped me make friends and i always got invited by the teacher to tell a story to the class every day at school!
watchwellcast plz come back u help me through alot plz COME BACK!!!!!!plz
I have a big journal I keep next to my pillow. Each morning I write down exactly how my dream went. I use those dreams to create new stories n other journals. I also paint them, or make drawings and models out of them. I feel the journals also help me control the dreams i'm having. Plus I only have about one nightmare a month instead of used to having like two a week.
The sun and the moon fighting! LOL! That was hilarious. Extremely well done videos.
almost every time I wake up, I feel hungover and sick for a good hour or so. The only times I remember waking up feeling energized was when I went to bed at 4am to wake up at 6:30am to go to work. And those were rare.
I'm trying this tonight and it's a sat. today, by next sat I'll compile the results and let you guys know!!! Thank you so much Kate and the rest of Wellcast's crew!!!
These video's are helping me a lot. I'm very creative but lately, my life has been pretty dull. And this video helped a bunch.
I'm a creative writing hobby-ist... And rather than sleeping more, because trust you me, I've tried... I have to be sleep-deprived for at least a week, and then I'll have awesome creativity vibes... I almost never sleep during mon-fri, and on weekends, I hone my creative writing skills... It works for some people who are used to it.
This is so true. If I get good ideas, it's right after I wake up from a good night's sleep.
HI Kate, thank you for all the wellcast videos. If it weren't for you and the wellcast team I think I would be really depressed because i was really sad when i started watching this i was sad and now i am really happy with my life!
Hurray!!!
I've been getting 12 hours sleep every day for the past 2 months and I'm still in my creative rut, which has lasted close to four months now.
I honestly think I've lost it.
Keep a little notepad by your bed to scribble down ideas...that you can further explore during the daytime!
I don't know if this is true, but I heard that while Coleridge was jotting down "Kubla Khan" after he had dreamt of the poem itself, somebody knocked on his door. It was his taylor, who sought to call his attention upon some unpaid debt. Coleridge hastily explained to him that it was not really a good moment for that, but by the time the visitor departed he had already forgotten the rest of the poem in its entirety.
Im gonna try this because the more I sleep the more relax I feel when I'm at school I pay more attention but its true because when I'm relax and I had a good sleep I feel very creative
lol me too.. Often I avoid going to bed by reading and watching videos about sleep derivation and the benefits of good sleep. I usually get about 6-7 hours a night.
i was going to skip on sleeping tonight but after 1 hour of watching your videos you convinced me not to.....it's already 4 am but it's not too late :)
I need a wellcast journal now
Wait, do creative people would more likely to have insomnia?
(I know my grammar's a little off, but you know what I mean XD)
That's in interesting theory, but I don't know why either! I'm an aspiring writer, and I came up with an idea for a novel once when I couldn't sleep and was writing a poem at midnight. I came up with another when I was watching a crime show on TV late at night. That would be an unique study to conduct!
sleep makes me a whole new person, its like a 8-9 hour meditation
Uhhh where to get a wellcast journal?
Potato-chan :3 I've been trying to find the intro video and can't find it😂
Nice video, I might have to try the journal idea for my self.
I'm going to trust this video and follow the steps
My creativity comes at night and keeps me up.
I love the look of your videos! The information is perfectly concise, and yet, so helpful. PLUS... I really enjoy the animation used to create these!! I wonder if Sarah Keokanock or Halie Seager could take a moment to point us toward resources, on how to get started animating videos like these. (Just trying to work on my creativity. :)
Thanks in advance...
congrats to sarah halie i love your animations!!
This helped a lot...SUBSCRIBED
I did! I found TWO comic/manga i wanna write/draw about from sleep!
did anyone notice that when the girl was writing about her sleep the sun and moon were fighting
yess haha xD
yes
ORAORAORA! MUDAMUDAMUDA! *insert rest of Jotaro VS DIO fight here*
my body will only let me get 8 hours of sleep….. i go to bed at around 10:30 and wake up around 6:30 7:00
*_OOF size large_*
I go to sleep at around 11:00 p.m and wake up at 6:30 a.m, and most days I can either draw or write really well. I wonder what will happen if I listen to this video?
JEKYEL AND HYDE IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER YESSS
I realize that I already did this when I stopped using my alarm on Christmas break and started to wake up at 7:30
Sometimes when I write really late at night, the last couple of lines I write are really, really good....xD Though part of it may just be the fact that they're more honest.
And nowadays, I'm just too tired to do any writing - I just fall on my bed and go to sleep nearly immediately...
i almost watched all of them already i watch 7 each day im going to bed right now
yawn peace out
Your narrative is robust and compelling; akin to a book that was robust and compelling in its delivery. "Better Sleep Better Life" by William Brook
Thank u soo much.
Sometimes I get ideas in my dreams or when I listen to music
I signed up for their newsletter but are they still sending them? helpp
Thank you, good idea!!! :)
I love your outro
This was uploaded on my birthday :)
I'm gonna try that!!!!!
As a teenager my sleep cycle changes times (mentioned in another wellcast video) say i stay up till 2:00am every night (during summer) but wake up still 8 or 9 hours later, am i still good on sleeping habits or am in need of a change of sleeping time?
Dear Wellcast,
My sister stays up all night and its hard for me to sleep so i ended up passing out at the park in my neighborhood when i was with my friends and my best friend had to carry me home and i didnt wake up until 9:00pm and i went to bed at 1:00 am and woke up at 6 am is that a good thing?
Hello! I watch your videos every day, I listen your fantastic voice, but who are you? Can you write you name, please...
I have another question I fall asleep at 9 but sometimes wake up at 12 and im still sleepy but I don't know why please help
it is too bright these days so if you go to sleep half an hour earlier you wont get to sleep as it will be to bright and youll waken up even more and you wont get to sleep until 11 o clock in the night so that doesnt really help does it ? I dont think so!
I get my best creative outbursts around 1am, not sure how I'm gonna fit this in.
Tanks this actually works and I fall alseep easier now.
THIS IS SO RELEVANT TO MY NAME. I MAKE MUSIC WIT MY DREAMS! onelove->
What if you oversleep? like 10 hrs instead of your necessary 8?
I dont do it but I'd like to know
this is pretty cool
This is called DREAMING!
I'm watching this before I go to bed LOL
Love your vids!
and i am watching this at 1 in the morning
thank you Holms. Really. I thought I was crazy.
"Go to bed 30 minutes earlier everyday". Been trying to get to sleep at a more reasonable time for a while now but since I set an unrealistic deadline to go to bed I always stay up until 4am or later anyway. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? Oh wait...
This seires is really extraordinary:DD I love it because it really helps me a lot:))
I have trouble falling asleep after I awake. i go to bed at 6 i wake up at 1.
go to bed at 8 wake up at 4.... Any suggestions?

Is it okay if i sleep from afternoon till the next day morning?
hi
you guys are awsome
Best response, ever! Haha
How do you make the animations??
I don't think 30 minutes earlier will help me seeing as though I go to bed at (on average) 00:00. I think it goes without saying that I NEED to stop sleeping the way I do. :)
I had a Grand mal a fre days ago and I have sleept like a baby:)
You should do a new 100 day challenge
I go to sleep late and I don't know how to handle it. I'm 12 and I don't have a journal. (I have a diary though)
I need help! how can i not sleep too effing late? u.u i need to deatatch myself from the computer, but HOW?
If I go to bed half an hour before I normally do It will be 1:30am And I can do well on less than 5 hours of sleep!
but i have nightmares every single time i go to sleep because of that i dont sleep that often so i loose creative thoughts...so can you make a video that helps you not to get nightmares pleas!!!!
I always seem to write my best poetry when I'm low on sleep. Maybe it's just because I never read it again later and I'm too tired to realize it sucks. Hmmm. :[
i will try to do this but ill start on monday
@colie563 i dont think it is but im not one to talk. its 1:39 am... and i dont want to sleep.
I yawned reading the word yawn lol :O
Sometimes I fall asleep at 12, sometimes 12:30, sometimes 1 and sometimes earlyer or later. I do not really have a steady bed time, so I can't go to bed half an hour earlyer..
I have to be in bed by 9:30-9:45 unless I have homework than its when I'm done with it but sometimes I don't get to sleep until12:00 or 1:00

Don't do that. Start sooner, and if you can't, then it is just too much...
I am an artist, and one of my favorite characters that I draw came from my dreams. :3 I love dreaming in general.
have a mental condition where sleep shuts my brain down and I do better when i work through the night. If I stop,
when should i go to bed well cast
I have watched a few videos of you now, but I honestly don't really get what a wellcast journal is..
Can anyone tell me please?
A wellcast journal is basically any journal
oh. okay thanks haha
+Britt H, haha I'm glad iv spotted this, I was looking on multiple videos thinking I could print one out/purchase one :')

I don't know, I go to bed at 9:00 pm but I fall asleep like at 10:30pm or maximum 1:30 am. But no mater what I will wake up @ 6:00 am or @7:00 am
@d@@@@@@O:-)O:-)O:-)O:-)O:-)@@@@@@@@`|¡¡ .£ ₩|₩\`
this is great for most of the people but for some of us, oversleeping is harmful as well...
this videos are helpful :D
Sometimes your body might need that much sleep if you've been very active and not getting much sleep, but definitely not on a regular basis!
5am here...no, not a good thing. Hopefully a good start though...
it also leads 2 hallucinations, i learned that the hard way, im not listg them
you ARE scaring me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
me too :P
Staying up until 11 pm and watching a video about sleeping..
