a sleep aide that worked for
I hope this isn't violating any terms on this forum but I just wanted to post this out here in case it helps someone. After stopping my antidepressants about 15 years ago, which was a nightmare, sleep has always been a issue for me. I sleep in a separate room from my wife and I've given up coffee and other stimulants as a result but still struggled to sleep at night. I've tried sleep meditations and other stuff but i never felt like i was "doing it right". So, i just continued to watch random youtube videos and over the years i found that certain videos made me fall sleep faster than others. Usually ones i was "slightly" interested in and didn't have a lot of action or excitement. Then I came across a Youtube channel by MadMorph which focuses on videos to help people sleep but focused on video games. This seemed to work well for me, since I love video games, and It definitely helped me sleep and inspired me to try it myself. It helped that my significant other says my voice is calming so i figured i'd give it a try. I'll leave a link here in case this somehow appeals and helps someone. If my videos don't work for you I'd recommend trying MadMorph too. He has a more traditional voice and style than mine. Anywho, I hope that this helps someone and hopefully I didn't violate any forum rules with this self-promotion... I just wanted to post here in the off chance it helps someone. Sweet dreams.

Hi
. Thanks for sharing your videos and recommending the other You Tuber. As long as you are not profiting from the link, you are not violating any rules. I hope they help someone else. Do you still suffer from insomnia sometimes, or watching the videos been effective every night? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member) i guess technically in the long term I could benefit from it but to be honest, it'd be pennies. I mainly made these to help people and for my own enjoyment. Not for monetary gain.
I do still suffer from Insomnia because of my rheumatoid arthritis and the medicine i take but the sleep videos have definitely helped me unwind. That being said, I think if you have a serious physiological issue, these won't be effective in treating that. But, if you just have a hard time unwinding, racing thoughts or are even nervous about going to sleep (after years of horrific sleep from my antidepressant withdrawal, this is what I struggled with) these definitely helped me fall asleep.
Thanks for your comment! It's nice to hear from genuinely nice people. Take care!
