Things That Keep Me Up At Night...
10:12 Share

Things that keep me up at night. Everybody's got something that keeps them lying awake, just staring at the ceiling, not knowing what to do next. And no amount of how to fall asleep tutorials or whatever it is that you're looking up is going to help you fall asleep. Sometimes whatever you're thinking about just has an absolute chokehold on you. I've seen creators such as Derek FBD and TheOdd1sOut make videos on this topic.

Huge shout out to them. So I figured, why not make a video about that? I got a lot of things that keep me lying awake at night. Now, the first thing that keeps everybody awake, pretty much, it's a given. Embarrassing moments. Saying you two to a waiter, the whole high five fist bump thing, literally any awkward moment you can think of, it's gonna keep me awake at night.

The moment I think of one thing, it's over. Like, it just goes from one thing to the next to the next, and I'm like, wow, how more embarrassing can it get? Because at this point, me, I am somebody who has like a four-hour-long compilation of embarrassing moments, all right? It just never stops. It's just like a TV show marathon. That shit just keeps going. And these moments are like constantly replaying in my head, and I just want to be able to just knock out for the night.

because I don't even want to think about it. And of course, sometimes my brain really decides to get down to the specifics, you know? Sometimes I'm thinking about awkward moments I've just had in like general social situations. At Sierra, discover great deals on top brand workout gear, like high quality walking shoes, which might lead to another discovery. 40,000 steps, baby. Who's on top now, Karen? You've taken the office step challenge a step too far. Don't worry though. Sierra also has yoga gear.

It might be a good place to find your zen. Discover top brands at unexpectedly low prices. Sierra, let's get moving. Like tripping over your words or something you said like comes out really wrong. Or embarrassing moments talking to girls. Yeah, that one comes up a lot. And of course, I miss more than I hit. I'm fucking Shaq from 3. No matter how much times I try to think of something else or if I'm like, alright, time to count sheep. One. Two, it doesn't fucking work.

It doesn't matter. Nothing is stopping the embarrassing moments, alright? I just have to embrace the cringe. It's unfortunate, but that's just how it has to be. I try everything in my power to go to sleep. I try reading a book. I try listening to, like, some 700 hertz audio or whatever the hell it's called.

Rain and waterfall noises, everything. It's just drowned out completely by the embarrassing moments. Number two, social media. Now, social media really is a double-edged sword. Like, you never know what the hell you're gonna find on there. Instagram Reels, one of the weirdest places I've ever visited on the internet. It's genuinely like a lab experiment, bro. Like, it cannot be real. Regardless, I still spend my hours...

My precious hours scrolling away on social media. So yeah, that shit is definitely keeping me up at night. Or sometimes I just go down a completely new rabbit hole of YouTube videos and I'm just like, holy shit, what did I just discover? And I don't even know. I really cannot tell you the answer to that. And also the amount of times I'd watch videos on how to fall asleep in two minutes was unreal because I just, I didn't want to stay up any longer.

Just the pain of just rolling around in bed just pisses me off, bro. Like, I just want to go to sleep. Like, it's just a one YouTube video after another, after another, and then all of a sudden it's 6 a.m. And I got to get up in like three hours. No amount of how to fall asleep tutorials was going to save me on this very night. So eventually when it got very late, I would just give up. I would just pull it all nighter and just get up for the day.

Which is pretty bad. Don't do that. Don't get no sleep All right That that's literally the worst thing you can do and especially if you are driving under those conditions do not do that Number four, all right when i'm home alone in the house Okay, if there's nobody in the house with me I just start hearing noises that don't even exist and I think all of a sudden harry and marv from home alone Are gonna start robbing the place. I watched home alone too much as a kid

I don't live in a bad neighborhood, but still. I just still have that fear linger sometimes. Especially when there's nobody in the house with me. But one time there was some shit that happened to Street Over. Like there was somebody like- With a Venmo debit card, you can Venmo more than just your friends.

Walking around at night looking for packages or some shit. I was just like, all right, bro. I'm good. I'm cool I'm locking all my doors. I'm doing everything I can to keep this house safe You know, I don't want to be this dude's next robbing victim number five horror movies. That's why I never watch them It doesn't matter how unrealistic the movie is I'm still gonna have thoughts in the back of my mind if I like just watched a horror movie before bed like oh What if this is real? What if he's right behind me like and okay, obviously he's not right behind me, but

I feel like if I turn my back for a little bit too long, I'm gonna get caught lacking. But okay, that's just not the case. Nobody is doing anything. Like I just had that what if, like what if something paranormal is gonna happen? Because say you're in a horror movie and you turn your back for too long, chances are there's a jump scare waiting for you. That is a pretty common setup in horror movies. Or sometimes I'll hear a weird noise at night and I'll be like, what was that?

What was that? And then my heart's moving at a million miles an hour. So after that, there's pretty much no saving me. And I'd also watch a lot of media with like paranormal activity in it. Like especially on YouTube as well. Like I'd watch like Mr. Nightmare. And also those videos of like Faze Rug going in that sewer tunnel thing. Like that shit was, that shit was kind of creepy. And also, yeah, after watching like Mr. Nightmare stories or anything with paranormal activity in it, I may as well have watched a horror movie. Like holy shit. Like I was just up.

for hours or even the first time i played fnaf i mean i was in like sixth grade or something and that kept me up so late i i didn't even sleep the entire night i thought bonnie was gonna spawn in the corner of my room or some i think this is around the time where like jacksepticeye and markiplier first picked it up and one of my friends showed me and yeah you know what maybe it was for the best that i didn't play it i was literally in my pants for like six hours just curled up under the blanket

Well, I fell asleep in my chair last night. So we're back in the morning. But number six, the fear of the future. I don't know what the hell is going to happen in my life or what God has in store for me. I have no idea. Things could change so fast. I can make my life better or it could just make it way worse. Like Neo Mohan could be having a bad day and just decide to terminate my channel one day. Okay, that's not going to happen, but you get the point. Sometimes the what ifs just be going crazy in my head. And a lot of times...

I make some shit that's definitely not going to happen into a problem for no reason. Like, I don't know why. It's like I think of every possibility in a situation and that shit could keep me wide awake at night. And I don't ever think, what if everything goes right in said scenario? Like sometimes I'm the one that needs to hear it's not that deep.

Because it really isn't. Number seven, how fast AI has been advancing or just technology in general. Like bro, 2023 AI was so dog sh**. I think we can all agree that everybody was easily able to distinguish a real video from an AI video.

But now we're getting to the point where the lines are completely blurred. Or in the next couple of years, we're going to get to that point. Because AI is just getting more and more realistic by the day. And you might have like deep fake videos of people like just pretending to be somebody so they could like get money from them or something like that.

is insane. Like I've seen some recently going on where somebody was pretending to be Pokimane or some shit and is scamming some dude out of money. Like it's really getting scary out here how quickly AI is advancing or just technology in general. Like in the next couple of years, robots are going to get even more advanced too. Like people are already selling like robot assistants for like $20,000 online or like

$60,000. Like the whole thing of robot assistance. Like that was a thing in cartoons back when I was a kid, but now that shit's real life. Like it's slowly becoming a reality. That's why when I type something into chat GPT, you know, I'm an upstanding citizen. I'm like, make it, make it as short as possible, please. And thank you.

Like, I'm being polite as possible. I'm using manners because what if robots and artificial intelligence just decide enough is enough? I've had it up to here with humans and they just decide to take over the world because that was also depicted in a lot of cartoons. I don't know, because the Simpsons might be onto something. They're always onto something.

I don't know how many times the Simpsons have predicted the future. Like it's just unreal. And also back on the topic of AI, I forgot to mention that a lot of music artists are strictly using AI to make their songs. Some people are just done and completely fed up with recording their own music. They're just like, you know what? I'm just going to have AI do it. Or some songs that were just made with AI sound extremely realistic. Like sometimes you can't even tell the difference. Number eight, dreams. Because I

don't know what kind of dreams I'm gonna have when I go to sleep. You know, sometimes I just wake up from a nightmare and I'm like, bro, I do not want to go back to sleep. I don't even want to think.

about whatever the hell I just dreamt about. And I don't want to spawn back into that dream. Like if the dream was me getting terrorized in a public bathroom, dudes throwing toilet paper at me while I'm trying to take a shit. I do not want to go back in that dream. Absolutely not. And a lot of times I would dream about getting like a 4% on my college exam.

Like, I don't know why the hell that dream was spawning in. Maybe it's because I was afraid of failing the class and getting a belt. Regardless of how much I would sweat school, sometimes I would still get shit grades. The one time I did get an F on a test, yeah, bro, I got all my shit taken away. I wasn't allowed to go out. I wasn't allowed to do anything but study until my grade went back up.

So that kind of conditioned me to live in fear about failing a class in college. And number nine, aging. Like, bro, why is time moving so fast? Like, it's actually ridiculous. Like, I swear to God, it was just 2023. Like, what happened? Like, why are we in the big 25 all of a sudden? 2021 really does not feel like that long ago.

And what keeps me up at night is like damn bro one day I'm gonna be old as hell and my back is gonna be a constant pain My knees are gonna be a pain whatever like it feels like fortnight came out like four years ago or something But this has been out for seven years Like what the hell is going on and sometimes that keeps me awake cuz I'm like before I know it I'm gonna be pushing 30 40 50 like it's just gonna keep creeping up on me number nine a warm pillow Alright, I'm not trying to sleep on a sweaty moisty. Okay, but

Well, i'm getting too descriptive warm ass pillow like it's got all sweat on it So i'm like, all right, bro time to flip that shit over and the worst part is when it's like the middle of the summer It's 90 degrees There's like no ac going in the house and both sides of my pillow are warm or i'm just sweating buckets in general Because if i'm sweating, yeah, i'm definitely not falling asleep

And the thing that keeps me up at night the most, number 10, is FOMO. Which for those of you that don't know, is the fear of missing out. Because scrolling on social media gives me that fear of missing out. Like seeing people's craziest moments in life, like their highlight reels essentially. And sometimes it gives me a false perception of what their reality actually is. But yeah, FOMO is trash. But if you want to watch a video on the best feelings in the world, click on this video on the end screen. Just do it.
