Hi Jackie! Thanks for the content!
As someone who has had chronic insomnia since birth, I feel ya, Jackie. I tried melatonin, but I kept having to up the dose in order to get any sleep and my doctor became worried about the high dose I was taking, so she put me on sleeping pills and those don't always even work sometimes. But they work MOST of the time, which is fine, I guess.
oh I keep on being advertised the Fisher-Price Soothe 'N Snuggle, even for adults. I was wondering if it was worth to try xxx
Some things that helped me is wearing an eye mask when going to sleep it will help ❤❤
Feed Shika
As someone who can't sleep this is very funny that the fact people with no sleep problems probably make these products😂
18th like on your comment, hope it gets more!
Right the only one that I would like would be the plushie it would stop me from waking up my 4 pound dog and trying to sleep with her every night 😅
I wanna like this but it’s at 69 and I don’t wanna ruin it
My ADHD is 100% the source of all my sleep problems
@@EmzLovesDucks sammeeee
“Falling asleep and staying asleep are two different art forms”. Well said my Dear.
Yes Queen
SO PERFECT 🤣🤣🤣
The heartbeat is probably"from the inside" as it is used for babies it simulates what they hear inside the womb. My daughter had one at birth. The nurses loved bringing her into the nursery because all the babies would sleep. So that one is very great for babies
in the amazon description it actually said 'womb's heartbeat' so you are correct! it's 100% why they are so popular for babies, my best friend uses one for her little one!! it's definitely a different but comforting sound *they* recognise, while we don't remember anymore.
they're good for dementia/alzheimer's patients too! many people with dementia revert to a time that they had to care for a baby, so sometimes they're given baby dolls to "take care" of. I remember when my mom worked at a dementia care unit and they ordered the breathing ones for patients all the time.
Heartbeats freak me out, personally, but I know they're good for babies!
As someone who struggles of fear of sleeping, what helps me is having a very low volume video playing to listen to it while hugging a plushie close to keep me company
Same here, I often fall asleep to Jackie's videos haha
How are you scared of sleeping?
Same I have a dog I have had since I was a baby and I still sleep with it
This is me, just add the pillow between the legs to keep hips leveled lol.
@@TheGrossDemon omg yes I love doing that
Me watching this at 4:08 am from Australia 😂 I always fall asleep watching Jackie, she’s my safe place 🥹
Omg same, i‘m from germany. It‘s 11 pm yet 😂
Same
I kept coming back to finish the video several times because I keep falling asleep.😅
I’m watching it at 4:22am from England 🤣
I feel like a lot of people nowadays buy something but then they like it so they give it a great review but they don’t judge it on the fact that it’s not even close to what they ordered. So I love that Jackie judges it on what she actually ordered! We love you, Jackie!
For the puppy light, I’d use the bird noise for waking up. Like, right when I wake up, switch it to bird mode, and it’ll help get me out of bed. I not only have issues falling asleep, but I also find it extremely difficult to get up. If it came with a remote, it’d be perfect!
I also have issues getting up out of bed! I literally will sleep away my whole morning and afternoon
@@simplybeezknees same, sometimes at least lol. I kept hitting the snooze button this morning - told myself I'd meditate for a few minutes but it was lies. I just went back to sleep again 😂
Honestly my best "sleep hacks" I've recently learned that I can't fall asleep without my air conditioner so my room will be freezing but the noise from the air conditioner is always nice. I always have videos playing on my TV. Plushies love holding them and then usually my cat because he's a good heating source 😂❤
I have to sleep with my fan on because my body literally heats up while I'm sleeping, which causes me to wake up. If the coldness of your room is bothering you, then maybe see if anyone's made a video of air-conditioning sounds
I have a small fan that I use for sound to fall asleep.
I literally fell asleep while watching this and had to rewatch it. XD I do often fall asleep while watching KZhead when I get home from work. It's usually only 15-20 minutes, but I do feel pretty refreshed when I wake up.
Me too!
I literally did today with this one too! 🤣
Have you ever watched the ambient sleep videos? I've been a lifelong insomniac and they work for me. I like the ones with mild movement and rain noises like "camping in the rain" or "rain in a tent" they work well when I remember to use them
I use dinosaur documentaries where the speaker is monotone
my favourite ones are rain under an umbrella, raining while driving, steel roof rain and thunderstorms. Once in a while I find a bonfire one that doesn't sound obnoxious. I've recently found a channel that does story reading in a calm way that helps too.
@@SnowieShiba I like the rain on car roofs ones as well.
Jackie with this fox plushie is so unbelievably adorable, a match made in heaven. 🥰😄
Its so cute.
I think the rain one would make me feel like I had to go to the bathroom!! 😅 The weighted stuffie and the nebula sound amazing! 🌌 We already use lots of light, sleep sounds, and weighted blankets with our daughters.
To be honest same, but my boyfriend plays it when he sleeps and it's not that bad, but I felt the same way at first.
I love using that and ocean.. but I tend to wake up more often going to the bathroom 😅
My best sleep aids have been sighthounds. Whippet puppies led to many involuntary naps. I would lay next to them, just to cuddle for a minute, and wake up two hours later, drooling on myself. Very best was my Italian greyhound. He knew when I was frustrated and couldn’t sleep and would generously volunteer to be my fidget toy. He would spoon perfectly and I would tart massaging his muzzle and slowly work my way down. By the time I got to his shoulders, we’d both be relaxed and sleepy.
Did anyone else fall asleep watching this video? As for most, it's never out of boredom, but I was relaxing from a long day and while watching this I snoozed away in my computer chair. But I did return back and watched what I missed after my nap, lol.
I dont think ive ever fallen asleep out of boredom
Something that helps me fall asleep pretty fast is listening to thunderstorms. There's channels called Pure Sleeping Vibes and Pure Relaxing Vibes that always have multiple live videos that are ad free. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes of listening to them.
I’m so glad for this video to come out. I needed this I have had such a horrible week at work and needed this to help me feel better. Thank you so much Jackie you are such a wonderful person and make days so much better
I'm sorry you had such a rubbish week, make sure you do something nice for yourself ❤
@ellie5461 thank you. I work in education and I'm told I'm too "gruff" with the kids. My team reported me to administration with lies
@@STStarr I’m so sorry, this too shall pass. Thinking about you.
My dad is a chronic insomniac. My mother (tired of neither of us sleeping) taught us to imagine we are drawing the numbers 1 to 50 on a blackboard and then writing ‘deep sleep’ on the blackboard 1 by 1.
Omg this is so relatable as an insomniac myself. My best sleep tip is playing a repetitive sound, like a clock ticking, raindrops etc. For me train sounds work the best.
That's funny, because that would probably keep me up haha
Oh my! I've had insomnia since I was a child. I got it, like my migraines, from my father. At 70 and not working, and taking considerable medications, I actually fall asleep now better than I used to. Another thing I've learned, is when I lay down, I think of my stories. I have been 'working' on a story every night for about 6 months. I have written maybe 40 works or so, maybe a few more. I many never actually write the story, but this gives my mind something that isn't stressful. I have fibromyalgia, so a lot of the medications I take are for pain, but without the visualizing a story, like watching a movie I direct, my brain doesn't calm down. I prefer ocean sounds to help me sleep, but I've not had any for the last year or so and I've been fine.
You inspire me! Also, it bit in awe. Damn girl! Absolutely relate. After fighting caner, and still meds, sleep is luxury. Wishing I had stories. Maybe think about sharing yours I'd be interested. ~ Best to you.
@@eileennovak1656 I have some stories on Archive Of Our Own under the name ElicBxn. It is not my real name... some of the stories I have posted have started from the 'sleep stories.' I have a Star Trek story that actually came from a dream.
I get too into my stories and imaginary worlds. It helps me not think about stressful things but it also keeps my mind too active. I really should go back to drinking catnip tea. While it hypes up cats it sedates the neurological system in humans and also calm digestive upset. It works pretty good. But you have to have the water you pour over the bag at full boil. Then cover the cup with a saucer and let seep 7 to 12 minutes. Instructions come on the box. I should order some and start using it again. Unfortunately my cat loves to pester me all night long so falling asleep and staying asleep is a problem.
@@tiffanymichaels2429 Just one cat? Okay, so I don't let the cats sleep with me anymore, I don't like them tromping over my keyboard. However, I have 8 of them inside and I'm feeding another half dozen outside in the feral colony.
@@eileennovak1656 check on AO3, almost the same name
It took me a long time to realize that it was the valerian root in the sleepy tea I was drinking to help me sleep that was making it even harder for me to sleep. Glad it's not just me. 😅
Yeees! I discovered Valerian Root and omg it changed the game.
Ah, see no. My comment wasn't clear. It makes me bounce off the walls, just took me a while to figure it out. The tea I was drinking to make me sleepy was actually keeping me up even worse. Benedryl makes me hyper too.
In your "Figure it Out" kit, I keep misreading the label on the sticker packs as "Merde Picnic" instead of "Nerde Picnic". 😂
My top tips are 1)drink Rooibos tea with 1tsp brown sugar(orginal flavour, if I don't drink it, sleep is very shallow. 2) Sleep mantras (just repeat sentences)& 10 ten things & people I'm greatful 3)Have a Feeling/Stress journal, sometimes if you have intrusive thoughts or negative feelings/thoughts write them down, so you let them out. 4) meditation, like headspace/Mindfulness 5) the military sleep method. Bonus 6) sleep mask & earplugs Hope you try some of these.☺️👍🏼
I love rooibos tea!
Not family friendly// . Well, that um, chill pill thing... I've heard that similar shaped objects can create a special excitement that can make you sleepy before bed. I have hypersomnia, so i can't say if this is true or not. Such a strange object...
Omg I was thinking very similarly. 😬 😂
I was thinking the same thing!!
I suffer from insomnia. I enjoyed watching you test these products. You gave me insight on what I should buy and what not to waste my money on. I could 100% use a weighted plushie. Thank you Jackie. I always enjoy your videos.
Bird sound fanatic here: Birds actually make me feel relaxed! Which helps me sleep. It's not so much 'what you hear when you wake up' as 'what makes you feel relaxed and safe', and it's easy to like.. think of birds and think of safety and no harm coming to you. It's actually very comforting!
I can relate completely. I have no useful tips. I go through cycles of sleeping constantly, like everywhere even in the cinema or outside. To not being able to sleep at all, I think I’m a sleep snake. Currently I am no/barely any sleep, I fell asleep at 6am this morning and woke up at 6.30 🎉 The jelly fish is a really lovely sensory tool. I’m not sure about the sleep help but definitely as an addition to a sensory room. Eeek bunny! I’m a sucker for a bunny 🐰 I like the idea of the water mushroom but I’m not digging the actuality of it. Thanks for sharing, Jackie. Hope you have an amazing weekend 💖💖
Ah so relaxing to watch your video 😌👍🌷💙🤍
stumbled upon you via this video and im in love omg
Ilysm Jackie ur an amazing contant creater ❤❤❤❤ thx for making me happy when I needed it most
I have the Bluetooth sleep mask and it helps a ton. If you're having trouble with weird bumps in it, you can move around the speakers inside of the mask to align them better with your ears. Also, you really only need to adjust the Velcro once, so it won't always be a problem with hair. Just make sure to keep it charged, because it tells you it's low battery very loudly.
@RainyPupper I bought that Manta Bluetooth mask for my wife last Christmas, she has slept the hardest she ever has. Jackie needs to give Manta Sleep a shot. It seems to be made better than what she has in the video.
17:00 yasss, I often have your videos playing in the background to fall asleep!
I'm almost always watching your videos during the wee hours of the morning because i cannot sleep. I find them comforting in a way. Thank you for choosing this topic to do a video on. I suffer from insomnia (like you, I have trouble falling asleep AND staying asleep) and have wanted to try some products to help but have been too intimidated by just how many are out there. Please, I would love a part 2 of this video, if possible. Hopefully some of your new items will help add a few more 💤💤💤 to your nights' rest. 😊
Thank you so much for this video Jackie, this video helps so much!!
I love that cloud humidifier!
Didn't know I needed this, but my goodness, thanks for testing these for fellow eternally sleepy grains
You’ve helped me fall asleep all the time and I really appreciate that as you’re videos help me to slow my mind down and feel comfortable and safe thankyou
I was watching this last night and fell asleep while watching. 😂 Jackie is so calming and relaxing. ❤ Back this morning to actually watch!
DREAM WATER WORKS‼️ I have chronic insomnia, and I can vouch for this, and I am an ER nurse.
I find that just slowing my breathing and relaxing all my muscles manually helps me fall asleep! Of course there are days where this doesn’t work because my mind starts hopping from one topic to another to think about. I also have extra help with melatonin but before I had it this trick was my one savior for sleepless nights! Staying asleep is a whole other problem though
jacky ur videos are literally the only thing that helps me sleep you are my comfort youtuber
You are my favourite creator!!
Wow 😮 this is a new kind of video but I’m here for it
I have that eye mask and I love it. I have to have videos playing to fall asleep, so i like the headphone feature while being able to block out light. It also helps for napping during the day when Im not feeling well.
Night driving in rain videos help me sleep and bluey. I also love lavender to help me sleep! I also listen to your videos to help me sleep! Love your content!
I like to listen to ambiance videos, especially with things I like. There’s some Godzilla ambiance videos that relax me and interest my inner kaju love.
I find it really hard to sleep. But your videos do help me relax a lot. 😊
Hi Jackie. Your personality is perfect. Keep being you. 🇨🇦🙋♀️♥️♥️
Happy Friday, Jackie=) Thank you for all your hard work=3 Perfect video to watch in the evening=)
As a sleep specialist (a RPSGT - Registered Polysomnographic Technologist) I perform sleep studies, treat, and diagnose sleep disorders ranging from narcolepsy to sleep apnea and much more. Sleep hygiene is very import. Going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time. Staying off electronic devices. Fun fact.. your body is naturally suppose to sleep at night. After midnight your body goes into a fight or flight instinct because your body is wondering why you're awake when you should be asleep, this causes your body to think you're in danger and will actually want you to stay awake. Going to bed early is key. Also, sleeping on your left side you are more prone to nightmares due to putting pressure onto your heart as you lay. Not diagnosing but sometimes not sleeping at night is something more serious like sleep apnea and should be tested in a lab and properly diagnosed. (I say this at work right now performing those sleep studies 😄)
I love your videos
Me and my little watch your videos as a “last screen time” before she goes to bed and you always help her rest easy! Proud Canadiagrains! 💜
Lol i watch ur videos when im in bed on my tabblad. And i fall asleep watching you. That is a compliment and i will thank you for alll your videos, i really do enjoy them!!
The Rosetta Egg seemed rather interesting, seems to fill a small room nicely with the projections. As for me, I sleep best with a fan running, even in Winter 🤣.
A fan is the best for falling asleep. The cool breeze and the white noise are perfect.
@@nicanonymus2491 I agree it's the only way I can sleep lol
Same here! Our room is freezing lol we love it!
Camomila tea, apple and cinnamon tea, head massage, listening to mantras or songs for meditation, exercise during the day like there's no tomorrow ( I know you have some bad back problems, but swimming could help a lot)
Weighted blankets 10/10. I can be a pretty restless sleeper and move around a lot, but a weighted blanket has really helped with that. Keeps me still and the pressure helps me calm down. That plus a body pillow is a must for me now. I sleep on my side and usually hug a body pillow and have one leg tossed over it, the position feels the best for me. I usually put on a video from KZhead and listen to someone talk. My aunt used to have a radio on when she sleeps, but I prefer to have a video that will last for a certain time before closing. I've been looking for a good white noise machine, but usually the ones with speakers just sound bad. When it's summer I usually keep the fan on and easily fall asleep to that sound, so been looking for a little noise machine with an actual fan inside of it making the sound.
Thanks! I found your page when I was going through a pretty bad depression spiral and watching you everyday was the only thing I looked forward to. Thank you for being you and always making me laugh! I never do this but felt I needed to share. 💚
Omg thank you so much. I truly appreciate you. I’m sorry you were going through a tough time. Sending you hugs and positive vibes your way ❤️❤️
my biggest tip is not using ANY electronic after 8pm and switching all my lightbulbs to smart ones so they automatically change to very warm, deep orange color. still have some issues with falling asleep but that helps
Warm light is the best!
Lol that's so unreasonable
how is it unreasonable@@AKAalicecullen
So the breathing puppy works by making you hold your breath until you pass out while listening to toilet sounds. 🤔 I’ll try anything at this point.
Splinter is adorable, being a person who’s allergic to cats I rarely ever see any in person. That just lightened my day ❤
I always watch your videos before I go to bed because its relaxing ✨❤️
❤❤
Jackie always says, "Get your mind out of the gutter," but 90% of the time, I have to stop & figure out what the innuendo is. I wouldn't have gone there if you hadn't led me to the gutter.😂😂😂
Yes, lol your videos have helped me fall asleep. In a good way :)
I watch your videos a few times, to enjoy and to fall asleep 😅❤
FIRST
First!
Second not furst
oooh this is new! items for sleep, i love it
Yessss! I fall a sleep watching your videos all time time. I am currently trying to watch every single video you've uploaded and if I can't fall a sleep I will go turn on a video I haven't seen before. You bring me so much joy and comfort.
Firstttt
14th not first
This is so ironic, I usually fall asleep to your videos because they're very comforting to me. Love the video as always. This grain is going years strong 💪
(waving sharp pointy thing) "That is a compliment because you feel safe around me 🥰" Sleeping is hard, I feel you Jackie
Also being a rare person getting the opposite effect from stuff is extemely relatable
What a fun game! Thank you for another great review video. 🎉
I always fall asleep watching Jackie all the time when I go to bed.
Your videos are amazing ❤
It's midnight. I'm having trouble getting tired. I made hot tea and grabbed my blanket and snuggled in for this video. Sleepy jackie is so precious.
Omg! For Christmas I got the diffuser from my mum. I personally love it and love that there is a timer for me to fall asleep to! The colours always soothe me and the rain is relaxing other (than it sometimes makes me need to pee 😅). I use all different essential oils for it and it’s never failed The only thing that didn’t work well was the mist/steam from the drips because of the border around the deoplets
I love listening to white noise and rain sounds, when I have trouble falling asleep 😴
I'm a night owl. Usually listening to something like Kitboga & playing a repetitive game where I'm not really have to think gets me sleepy. I know they say you shouldn't play on your phone before bed but it works for me. I find it hard to sleep with Jackie's video because I keep waking up & going back to see what I missed lol.
this is perfect because it's currently 2:30 am and i always fall asleep to jackie's videos 😭
I really enjoy those kind of reviews (more than the mini food craft thingies)
I also have a hard time with sleeping so I just put on one of your vids that I have already watch or maybe something new and I love you 😘❤️💕 and your video. I am now in my teens and I have been watching you since I was 7 you really made me get for creative and you inspire me. I really hope you keep up the great work 🎉 LOVE YOU ❤
Also I had to make a new account but I have been watching you for a long time
I clicked the video so fast! I sometimes have insomnia. My daughter has it more often, so I'm especially hoping something would help her. ❤️
I fell asleep watching this last night 😂 Woke up in my chair and I was knocked oouutt!!! ❤
For me to sleep, I watch you and moriah's videos to sleep❤
Hey Jackie. I type on youtube what i wanna listen ..usually its heavy rain with rolling thunder. You have rain on tin roof, on tents, or purring cat and they stream for 10-12 hours and most of them have blackscreen. I also have a whitenoise machine with diffent types of sound but more variety on yt❤❤
Ive fallen asleep to your videos multiple times ♡
I love the sleep mask. Great for listening to audiobooks too
Dream water is my go to! I've had insomnia for as long as I can remember. I used benadryl, or tried, but it did the opposite of making me sleep. I found this one day and never looked back. I've never felt groggy or like it was habit forming. It's a great product for me.
I play crossword puzzles on super dim on my phone until I fall asleep. It helps to calm my mind and gives me something other than life's problems to focus on. 💖
As a Cronegrain getting a good sleep has been difficult. I really liked the look of the egg projector. I think I'm going to look for it. Thanks for sharing this 🧡
I’ve always been a night owl, but I find that just not starting anything new (books, videos, games, etc.) late at night seems to work best for me!
I alway fall asleep to your videos love you Jackie ❤
I have always had issues falling asleep. I did find when I was pregnant taking a nice bath with the lavender epsonsalt actually helped me relax enough to fall sleep.
0:50 ive found that taking a few minutes to take some deep breaths and tune into my body doing a body scan helps relax my body and makes sleep easier. I still struggle but it helps, so does rain sounds for me!
of course as i cant sleep this video is posted! perfect instant click to fall asleep and its about sleep haha
I have a hard time falling asleep. I am also a fellow insomniac. However I use my Echo dot to play sleep sounds. And let me tell you SLEEPJAR is my favorite. I usually do Distant Thunderstorms and within an hour I’m usually Zzzz 😊 Tbh I do have to put my phone far away and turn my room to Antarctica cold 🥶but that usually helps me. I did enjoy this video though because I’ve always wondered about products. ❤ Thanks Jackie 😊
Every time I hear "figure it out" it reminds me of Sika 🥰 I love Jackie's videos 💕
I bought the mushroom humidifier, but the cheapest one Amazon had at 19$ and it has a fake plant on the top, that I ripped out so I could plant a real plant in it. It doesn’t sound like rain but it sounds like a fish tank and I love that. Mine works loud rain, soft rain, mist only on over flow or light mist, it does the multicolor thing as well, has a remote. Definitely worth it.
❤ I just love it vids Jackie 😄
sleepytime tea, melatonin gummies, my weighted blanket and a good audiobook is my go-to to help me sleep.
