Tales From An Insomniac

[BzkillzXBL]

ROFL! Dude! I have to have my fan on all the time it was snowing last night and i had it on

[YOJONON]

jacking off can help you fall asleep

[lee52844]

I have insomnia and can totally relate. I have the sleep paralysis with terrifying hallucinations too like the one I had of Eddie the Iron Maiden zombie ...................0_o nice to see other people have it too :)

[efcdk92]

that's fucking scary shit. I'd piss myself if i was home alone and i heard something run up the stairs. jesus

[SuperPrismatic]

I know how you feel.

[MONOxHAND]

i fucking love weed. it helps with my insomnia. billy, smoke a shit ton of dro.

[MattValtezzy95]

The picture for this video makes you look like you cumming. Or is that just me? I don't know.

[daniduds]

masturbation always puts me asleep like a baby



[theBIGhombreXboxLive]

gotta have my fan too dude

[beausim666]

Billy, I can understand you 1000% with your white noise. I have a 36 inch wide wide like 2 away from my face E.V.E.R.Y. night I sleep...or else you hear the dogs pissing you off, people walking...etc...

[lildread1]

Sometimes when I wake up I can't move a arm, not sure if that is the same thing you got although it is scary.

[RMilvae]

I have insomnia and can totally relate. I have the sleep paralysis with terrifying hallucinations too(although it might be more lucid dreaming not sure). But my eyes are always closed when I have these problems. Is that not normal for sleep paralysis?

[billyblackattacks]

@RMilvae everyone experiences a little different, mine I am always on my back and eyes open

[arabianmetalhead99]

Tea helps man, drink earl gray or green tea.

[BlueDolphin2011]

I had insomina all last summer and the main thing I had anxieties about what roaches. They would craw in the walls, in my bed, through my body and all through the house when I hallucinated.

You can image how anxious i was about watching your 'i throw roaches at children' vid

[billyblackattacks]

@BlueDolphin2011 next time you fall asleep Im gonna appear in your room and place a roach on your tongue

[BlueDolphin2011]

@billyblackattacks

As long as there's a creampie involved first. ;)

[986401]

i do that event replaying thing too. fucken irritating. its almost like your brains trying to make you realize how much of a moron you were at that time a million times like its going to make you act differently. doesnt work that way when what happened was out of impulse

[sarahewright9]

I'm really surprised that you don't smoke weed. I've enjoyed it myself on about a weekly basis for a while now, and I'm very curious as to why you don't do it at all. Mind sharing the reason? You don't talk about it much...

[billyblackattacks]

@sarahewright9 I have mentioned it before. smoking weed when I was a teen made me very angry and anxious. it had the complete opposite effect. I was high strung and no one wanted to get high with me

[sarahewright9]

@billyblackattacks Ah, I suppose I didn't remember you saying that, my bad. That's a real big shame, man. 

[coldsteel122]

I use one of them home medics massage pillows....I rest my hands and arms on it....it relaxes me...and I use it to fall asleep . It shuts itself off eventually...so it's not ever going to be a safety hazard..

It's relaxing and the body don't develop a resistance to it. ....just sharing a idea that works for me....I make no promises....but it can't hurt to try.

[ModdinMane]

one thing you can do is smoke pot THAT WORKS

[Drybones195]

WHY IS YOUR FAN NOT ON???!?!!?!?!?

[CyysVideos]

Dude you are fucking awesome, I never get bored watching your videos even if they are 12 minutes long... Just hearing you say stuff on a camera is listening to art

Please stay on YouTube untill you die, I'll be there to see you all the time :)

[redshieldshatterer]

I need a fan too. All of the guys on my dad's side of the family need a fan. I don't really need one, but it helps me, and I haven't found a substitute.

[mousie4189]

omgggg its SLEEP PARALYSIS??!! wtf. that shit IS HORRIBLE! fuck man my friend told me some fukd up superstition shit involving dead people and wanting to enter your body......muthr fukr...

[michael616joaquin]

Sort the mic out mate..fuck..

[PlottingYourDeath]

I'm an insomniac too. I can't fall asleep anytime day or night without taking Tylenol PM or alcohol. It fucking sucks balls. =/ I used to take Seroquel but that shit is really strong it will make you sleep for like 24 hours if you take the whole pill. That sleep paralysis sounds like some scary shit though does that happen every single time you wake up?

[scottwickman]

i have the same problem

[FunLovingCriminals77]

jews worrys about money like dikes love lucy

[pelopota]

Billy you just gotta clear your mind man, you will fall asleep eventually...

[XxwhoaitsmoexX]

I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and can't move too. It rarely ever happens but it does...like once a year. As for lack of sleep...I only get like 3-5 hours a night =/ I'm only 17! What bullshit..

[UndeadCrayon]

You're smurf with insomnia congrats =)

[bigaxe87]

when i cant sleep i play a few songs on my bass it helps a shit load.try it even if you dont know how to play itll help you unwind and calm down,try stairway to heaven at first :)

[bigaxe87]

hahahahaha (fuck you 67 you cocksucker) lmao

[Chris6134]

Heck yeaugh I've had that shit happen with that alien thing. And it sucks when you wake up at 3AM in a weird position and can't fucking move and you hear those noises. I'm like "oh shit please stop" It's scary sometimes. Now for sleeping, drink a beer fast. That should work.

[billyblackattacks]

@Chris6134 beer wires me up

[Chris6134]

@billyblackattacks Or some Irish Cream Liquor is good too. It's good stuff when served very cold (like stored in the freezer) I drink 3 good sips before bedtime and I fall asleep pretty fast.

[piratesavvy07]

That time/watch bit cracked me up. Happened to me before as well haha

[piratesavvy07]

I had trouble sleeping and found that expelling a lot of energy during the day knocked me out at night. Valerian root helps calm you too. Sorry you have this problem =(

[blanz420]

I am also an insomniac billy and also have anxiety so i know how you feel and ive had sleep paralysis before, shit is weird billy, i see the hallucinations and feel alot of anxiety kinda scares me, im awake but cant move.. hah its a trip, and try talking to your doctor about Ambien, its a sleeping medication that knocks u the fuck out and keeps you asleep.

[billyblackattacks]

@blanz420 it also causes sleep eating and sleep DRIVING, thats why my doctor advised against it and I agreed

[blanz420]

@billyblackattacks aha i see, didnt know that sleeping eating and driving where a side affect haha thanks for the info =p, kinda crazy sleep driving?? didnt even know people could do that lol.

[stevemorrow19]

whats the longest you've stayed awake?

[billyblackattacks]

@stevemorrow19 after 3 days it gets blurry so I dont know

[foreverlast]

I have sleep paralysis as well and I fucking hate it so much. Its mostly triggered when you are sleeping on your back but for whatever reason it happens to me when I sleep on my stomach. So my face is in the pillow, I cant move, so I cant breathe and I feel panicked and it feels like Im stuck for hours when really its only a few minutes at the most. Its so scary because I am aware I am suffocating and I cant move or so anything about it. I relate to that topic.

[gitarmats]

I hope I never get sleep paralysis.. Sounds so damn creepy. I'm the kinda person that would immediatley think "Ghosts? Aliens?" in that situation so I'd probably start hallucinating those things as well...

[ai5H4]

Try changing your bed sheets , or your bed

stay away from alchohol and junk food

hope you a good night sleep

[drumsalltime]

you were made to rant on youtube. It's that simple :D

[ZedHead101]

this isn't related billy, but what are some great mixers for jager. inb4 redbull.

[mymarkis666]

Ironically this dude puts me to sleep.

[billyblackattacks]

@mymarkis666 well fuck you too

[InFlamesWeTrust420]

Masturbation is King

[RIMOOREZ]

billy, who is your top three favorite comedians?

[Chrijz]

Thanks :) For me it's the opposite, I fall to sleep too fast :P Although when I got something that I think about deeply, then I have a very hard time sleeping.

[RIMOOREZ]

FUCK INSOMNIA, i havent slept since i got out of school fuck its annoying and im fuckimg exhausted

[CyrillKR]

Damn insomnia sucks. I had temporary insomnia (the one which lasts a week) twice in my whole life but it sucks like hell. But these days I sleep easily. The only thing I do is I just read a book and after that fall asleep and it works.

[GodComplexX]

I also suffer from sleep paralysis. There was this one time where I saw this shadow and it started gnawing at my skin and I freaked out (of course and I was a kid so that just made it worse) It doesn't happen very often but when it does ugh I can't go back to sleep afterwards because I'm to scared.

[darkmaster071]

that paralysis halucination shit is messed up :o But try to stay up one night really long and then set an alarm really early, u will feel like shit one day and sleep good next days, as long as you dont continuesly think of meaningless shit in bed... its what i do to reset my internal clock of sleep.

[MGoudatalks]

@billyblackattacks well all of this is normal billy similar stuff happens to me :D

and well there are some herbs that help you sleep like Hibiscus (which I use when I can't sleep) and you also have Green tea and there are countless others that could be of help

[billyblackattacks]

@MGoudatalks green tea has cafenine in it and it wires me up

[MGoudatalks]

@billyblackattacks Well then just try Hibiscus this makes the worst Insomniac sleep no matter :D what I use it all the time :D

[proscriptor123]

Try Xanax. i know it for anxiety, but it also works for sleeping disorders.

[billyblackattacks]

@proscriptor123 my doctor advised against that because you will become hooked and it fucks with your mind

[ChaosIncarnate7]

Watching C-span does wonders for my insomnia.

[randomviewer896]

I am exactly the same way, billy.

try staying up for as long as possible, if you get pissy, then stay inside

eventually, after you literally pass out from exhaustion, your sleeping patterns will go back to normal

[billyblackattacks]

@randomviewer896 tried that MANY times in my life, even in exhaustion, I cant sleep at night naturally

[Drybones195]

@billyblackattacks Ok, I have a screwed up internal clock like you do. You know some people after a certain time they HAVE to wake up or their body pretty much automatically wakes them up for example like 8:00? Well my body doesn't have one. If i fall asleep at 5:00 AM, then I will wake up at 4:00 PM or whatever lol. If you ever have multiple days off work, sleep ALL day and then stay up ALL night and then stay up to about 10:00 PM or whenever you need to fall asleep. Then your clock is reset.

[outsidemendham]

You take Zanaflex and wonder why you are sleep-paralyzed?

[billyblackattacks]

@outsidemendham I only took zanaflex for a year and during that year, not one sleep paralysis incident. I have them more when I try to sleep naturally

[keenanmx]

go smoke some weed

[skkid1]

Sleep paralysis = scientifical term for your gonna get surprise buttsex from a ghost

[manikmista665plus1]

0:13 to 025=TheAmazingAtheist.

[ghostyman666]

Holy shit, I was watching this and I noticed your slayer shirt, And then I looked down at myself I realized I'm wearing the exact same slayer shirt. LOL.

[stevenevert2]

Melatonin. Problem solved, ironically i sleep like 4 hours a night and never get around to buying any

[billyblackattacks]

@stevenevert2 yea I take that every night, it helps relax me

[ModdinMane]

@billyblackattacks if you ever see a lazy cake get one they sell em at gas stations its a brownie with melatonin in them

[kuakari]

no Youtuber makes me laugh as much as you do

[sirdark43234]

white noise for the win billy!

[laplaptop]

weed cures sleep paralysis

[TheVodkaChugger]

They make drinks that are the exact opposite of an energy drink, they mellow you out, try those, even though I've only watched 1 minute of this video, so I don't know if you're aware of them.

[WHATSAFUCKS]

@TheVodkaChugger You just copied me smartass

[TheVodkaChugger]

@WHATSAFUCKS What are you talking about? I didn't see your comment last night.

[WHATSAFUCKS]

There's this drink call marley's mellow mood and i heard it really works. its all natural and shit too

[jabarimclain2]

sleep paralasisy happened to me once i fucking fliped yelled mom hlep me you fucking shit and woul have shit myself if i could move

[billyblackattacks]

@MsBoy4ever trust me, I dont lol Ive read several books on the subject

[SkinnyKitchen]

bourbon, weed, or food - if i don't have any of them then insomnia hits. but a lil puff, or a few drinks or a nice hearty meal with red meat..... boom! gravity just drops my eyelids

[billyblackattacks]

@SkinnyKitchen I dont smoke weed, and booze wires me up and a hearty meal sometimes works, but only for like 10 mins then Im wired again

[xxxGreaseMonkeyxxx]

@billyblackattacks

I stopped smoking pot because of anxiety.

I just drink these days...

[billyblackattacks]

@thaBinx and thank you for giving me what I need. an audience. which in turn gives me a purpose

[ItsLeeBatch]

I Have The Same Problem ! I Cant Go To Sleep Till Like 7 In The Morning It Sucks

[billyblackattacks]

@ItsLeeBatch yep thats me, thats when my body is like "ok we can try to relax now"

[krizju00]

Thanks a lot! You're the man!

[UndeadBeaner]

You know sp could also be signs of possible astral projection which is a real thing and has been documented. Not just by that awesome movie Insidious.

[billyblackattacks]

@UndeadBeaner I dont believe in any of that. my sister tried to tell me it was maybe because I was sensitive to spiritual activity... Im not a fucking ghost whisperer!

[allthingsvideogames1]

Is medical Marijuana legal in west Va cause in DC IT IS

[billyblackattacks]

@allthingsvideogames1 I dont live in WV anymore, I live in SC and no...no it is not

[allthingsvideogames1]

@billyblackattacks Tuff man that sucks Good Luck

[GoucheGizmo]

yep fucking pathetic shit happens and i roll over look at the clock OH 5 HOURS PASSES IN THE FRACTION OF A FUCKING SECOND AND IM STILL AWAKE AND I GO MENTALLY INSANE FLAILING AROUND PUMMELING THE BED

[allthingsvideogames1]

Get Medical Marijuana

[FindTheBody]

Also, girlfriend? You just broke many hearts, including mine. lol

[billyblackattacks]

@FindTheBody well if you lived in charleston (and Im assuming youre of age) then youd have a much better shot

[billyblackattacks]

@FindTheBody Im also assuming youre female

[FindTheBody]

@billyblackattacks That I am!

[ElegeantFencer]

So Billy, see any ghosts while in sleep paralysis? xD

[billyblackattacks]

@ElegeantFencer Im not much of the ghost believer

[DANIELISBADASS]

Fuk yeah i hate that paralysis shit fuk i hate when it happens to me

[RegdarKhrast]

I've got the same damn problem. I'll definitely take your advice haha.

[FindTheBody]

LOL that's been happening to me nonstop lately, I'll be exhausted, get in bed, then literally do exactly what you did - twiddling fingers, looking around, slight but pissed off smile my face. Or, I can go to bed right away, but I have horrifying nightmares :| Can't win.

[krizju00]

OMG! Your video gave me a better understanding of sleep paralysis, cause since I was a toddler I have been having it. I didn't even know that it was a condition until now. I'm from a third world country with a lot of voodoo and stuff where people blame most things on the supernatural. I'm not superstitious, but superstition is still in my culture so it some times catches up to me and plays with my mind. My hallucinations are a lot like the last one that you described, so they are the scariest!

[billyblackattacks]

@krizju00 look up Sleep paralysis on wikipedia I hope you can view this page and it gives you a better understanding. youre not alone and its explainable

[achigurh]

hang in there friendo. i have never taken a sleep aid but Benadryl knocks me the fuck right out no matter what time of day it is.

[smashrobot3ZO]

When I can't fall asleep I just try to psych myself into thinking I'm in a dream, which is sort of the same feeling I get when I'm stoned. It leads to pretty surreal dreams, and sometimes the most frightening nightmares I've ever had. I hope I'm not channeling a spirit or some shit like that from Insidious, which was a horrible movie but I still get creeped out when horror movies fuck with dreams because My dreams are fucking vivid shit.

[blackorcore]

pop in some family guy

[BloodAngel60]

Dude Billy it's great to know I'm not the only one that goes through sleep paralysis except with mine I get a feeling like my heart getting pierced with needle. Does that ever happen to you?

[billyblackattacks]

@BloodAngel60 no, thats new to me. I just have to deal with the shadow people

[Plaguewolf12]

ahhh the one piece of music that gets stuck in your braain

D:

happens quite a lot to me

[Stupidsquire]

i drink about 3 giant glasses of water right before bed kinda wierd but it helps me. i piss like a russian race horse in the morning but it works

[Batmen09]

smoke weed, seriously it will knock you the fuck out

[billyblackattacks]

@Batmen09 when I smoked when I was a kid, it seriously made me angry... thats why I dotn smoke anymore

[pinkmoonmist]

nice cup.

[zoidbetag]

Billy, I have Sleep Paralysis. Don't open your eyes. Keep em closed and think of a nice song.

[billyblackattacks]

@zoidbetag how it works for me, when I wake up, if I dont try to fully wake up and I close my eyes or slip back into slep then Im guaranteed to have a hallucination. so I try to fight out of it before I do

[zoidbetag]

@billyblackattacks I don't know, If I fight it I just get attacked by the craziest shit. Like a pimp riding a velociraptor yelling bible verses. That was the scariest thing that I have ever seen during SP.

[billyblackattacks]

@zoidbetag thats not scary, thats awesome

[jayfatha]

@zoidbetag Fucking lol

[GenuineBorownBoi]

For some reason BillyBlack reminds me of the videos from Jenna Marbles

[billyblackattacks]

@GenuineBorownBoi if only I was an attractive chic with tits, then Id have a billion subscribers

[ccofmight]

and I swear I have to have a fan on, WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE

[MasterVashTheStampde]

Good vid Billy, i dig it.

[Wes561]

I sleep with the fan on too.

[UGAallDAY11]

what is your tattoo on your neck? it looks pretty cool

[billyblackattacks]

@UGAallDAY11 a scorpion

[UGAallDAY11]

@billyblackattacks are you like a scorpio or somethin ha

[billyblackattacks]

@UGAallDAY11 nope, just like scorpions, that make great tattoos

[UGAallDAY11]

@billyblackattacks yeah it looks good man i have the metallica and justice for all on my back haha took like 11 hours ha

[ALECSF15]

are you sure your not seeing ghost???!!!! 8:33

[billyblackattacks]

@ALECSF15 no, because its very lucid and when I jerk out of sleep I just know that it wasnt real. and also not all of them are horrifying like Ive said, Ive seen silly stupid shit too

[ccofmight]

OMG I know exactly how you feel especially the locking on to stupid embarrassing thoughts.

[SchizoManatee]

Smoke weed every day. That's all I got, Billy, sorry. lol Cannabis Indica is where it's at if you have insomnia.

Also, have you heard of the band Insomnium? Fucking AWESOME to listen to at night. Like driving in the rain at 1:00 am or something. Fuck yes.

[ripping76]

Masturbation and a 6 pack works for me!!

[DEADPATRIOT1]

I sleep like shit anymore too?Weird?!It suck's...

[ccofmight]

[MrSpaghetti12]

Shove a dildo up you're asshole before you go to sleep,you will sleep like a baby
