tonight i'm going to be doing everything science says will destroy my sleep

and after that i'm doing the exact opposite and trying to get a perfect sleep score

so each one of these things

we're adding is just going to get progressively more insane

i'm starting with the simplest one first opening the blinds it might not seem like a lot

but this is estimated to lower your sleep score by like at least five points

and if i'm trying to get to a zero sleep score i need every point gone

that i can get this next one is going to require a little bit more work.

I went out and I bought two of these like little smart home devices.

I'm thinking if we rig it up right, I should be able to make it so I have lights turning on randomly throughout the whole night.

This video is sponsored by iFlytec AI No Air 2, but more about that later.

This is so cooked.

Thinking that if like this would be the perfect angle, I just got to find a way to get this on the wall.

The real reason I wanted to make this video is

because for the past few months i've been completely neglecting my sleep yeah imagine that going off all night bro

that's gonna be so annoying i've been getting sick all the time

and struggling to get things done

and everyone keeps telling me my sleeping schedule is the reason why

so that's why i'm hoping if i actually notice a difference between my worst sleep

and my best sleep then maybe i'll actually start taking my sleep a little more seriously that's

so good bro

and according to this this should remove about 15 points off my sleep score

i think this is definitely worth it Okay, bro.

I'm not ready for this sleep tonight.

Okay.

Next thing's next.

This one's a little bit big.

I cannot believe I have this big of a speaker right now.

Okay.

The next thing that's going to lower the sleep score is random noises.

Bro, this is so dumb.

Like actually, I cannot believe I'm setting this up right now.

Oh my gosh.

I don't have no idea how loud this thing is going to get.

I'd find out that this is one of the things that I think made the biggest difference in my sleep.

What is going on?

Power on.

Line in.

Bluetooth connected.

Oh, it's too loud, dude.

What noise should we play first?

I got an idea.

All right, bro.

Really?

oh my god bro oh can you tell how loud

that is all right this is the video i'm gonna be playing tonight

while trying to sleep 10 hours of silence occasionally broken up by random sound effects all right

i'm kind of hyped for this next one

but kind of not really um it's the most enjoyable one

that's supposed to ruin my sleep i'm about to eat an insanely large meal right before bed

and drink a caffeine soda apparently like really fatty

and sugary foods are super bad for your sleep

if you eat it right before bed and i don't think there's any better candidate than these strawberry rolls

until bed i'm gonna try and maximize my screen time while eating this stuff

and wish me luck

because i know my stomach is about to be hurting after

this i went into this planning to eat the whole thing

but it got to a point where i just couldn't eat anymore oh my gosh

i feel like i might be sick and this was definitely that point

finished pretty much half of it all i can't eat anymore that's enough

it's times like this when i genuinely wonder like what am i doing bro okay i'm being

so honest my stomach really hurts right now i don't think i'd be able to go to sleep even

if it wasn't for all these lights

and stuff um this next thing is gonna make

it even worse normally whenever i sleep i I liked it to be like extremely cold, like as cold as it can get.

And I'm about to completely change it.

Okay, 70, 80.

I do feel bad for my roommates, but maybe they won't notice.

And along with changing the thermostat to 80, I'm also gonna be putting on the warmest clothes I own.

That's an estimated 15 more points off of the sleep score tonight.

I'm actually getting so interested to see what we actually end up with by the way

if you didn't know what i've been wearing on my wrist this whole entire video is actually something

that accurately tracks your sleep throughout the entire night

that means this challenge will be by far my most accurate one yet

this next item is estimated to lower my sleep score about 15 more points

a projector so i started setting it up oh yeah it's turning on

and for some reason this took way longer than it should have

but once i got it up there's only one thing i could project

okay okay this is the setup so

when the lights are off for like the few seconds they're off this is going to be what i see

and it'll probably wake me up with all the flashing colors

oh okay i'm pretty much ready for bed

but i need to do one more thing that's going to make this even worse

If all that other stuff didn't work, this one I feel like by itself could get me to a zero sleep score.

Because I'm pretty sure it's actually been known to drive people crazy.

So basically, I cut a tiny little hole in the very corner of this bucket.

And I'm going to fill it with water.

And it's basically going to be dripping on me right on my head for the entire night.

okay the last thing I want is for all my computers

and projectors and everything to electrocute me because I spilt this on it

so I'm gonna be very careful when setting this up this is so cooked

that's perfect look at that if this falls off

and hits me on the head in the middle of the night

i'm literally gonna have no one else to blame but myself

but with that our estimated sleep score now is now a zero.

So that means it's officially time to get in bed and put this all to the test.

Looking back on this, I was genuinely not prepared for how bad this sleep was going to be

and I had no idea what I was getting into with this challenge.

I think the one thing that can make this sleep even worse is if I found out you weren't subscribed.

100

So seriously though, I'm trying to get to a million subscribers as fast as possible

101

and I can only do that with you.

102

So make sure and subscribe because I cannot believe I've put myself through this sleep.

103

With the water dripping on my eyes and subway surfaced on the ceiling, I had finally drifted to sleep.

104

And then this was going to be a long night.

105

Oh my gosh.

106

I'm about to fall asleep too.

107

I had a 30 minute break to try and go to sleep before the lights turned on.

108

And I actually went to sleep pretty quickly.

109

But right before that 30 minutes was up,

110

I really need to invest in a YouTube premium account because these ads are just so loud.

111

And then I got a taste of the lights.

112

As hard as it was, I would actually be able to go back to sleep during these lighted portions,

113

but that didn't stop the sounds from waking me up.

114

I'm pretty sure every time these sounds went off, I forgot I was filming and just got so scared.

115

While I was sleeping, I was subconsciously dodging the water droplets, but that didn't stop the bucket from completely soaking my pillow.

116

It's now the middle of the night, and that dinner I ate is definitely catching up to me,

117

and I was just feeling so sick from all the noises, lights, and the water dripping on me,

118

but I was determined to make through the night.

119

This all went on for the rest of the night

120

so I'm just going to show you some of the funniest wake -ups.

121

Hello?

122

What is going on?

123

And this one wasn't even planned but I think it scared me the most.

124

Every time I would wake up this night, I swore someone was in my room and I forgot I was filming completely.

125

But by the end of the night, I was used to this.

126

And for the last hour, I managed to actually stay asleep for the entire time.

127

that was probably the worst night sleep of my life yeah my head hurts

128

so bad right now i'm interested to see what sleep score we got though all right i'm really hoping

129

that was a zero

130

if that's not a zero i don't know what is here we go bruh

131

that was a 64 dude that would dude i don't want to know what a zero is if that was a 64.

132

i mean i guess it's i mean it works

133

because my baseline sleep wasn't 81 and it obviously does look different

134

but i still wasn't convinced that getting a good

135

or bad sleep score would actually make a difference in how well i performed throughout the day

136

so to test it i created something i like to call the gauntlet

137

it's a series of simple tests designed to see exactly how well

138

i performed based on the sleep I got it consists of two mental tests a real -life scenario and two physical tests

139

It's designed perfectly to have no tiebreaker and a definitive answer

140

The first mental test is this memory game.

141

It's basically like the old Simon Says where you see how long of a sequence you can memorize.

142

Looks like the average is about nine.

143

So if I make it past nine, that means I'm better than average.

144

These tests may look super simple, but they're actually insanely accurate.

145

Oh my gosh, bro.

146

I misclicked.

147

Okay.

148

I got nine.

149

I guess I'm average today.

150

Next up, we have the chimp test.

151

In this test, some numbers pop up on screen and you have to remember their order before they're all covered.

152

Then click the squares according to their numbers.

153

Apparently chimps are really good at this test, averaging remembering nine digits every time.

154

So that's my goal for this one.

155

Be smarter than the monkey.

156

It's looking like I'm about to be averaged completely today.

157

Here we go.

158

And I was honestly very surprised with

159

my performance on this test bro 17

160

we're on number 17 bro this is crazy

161

ah that's it 17 okay that is way better than i was expecting to do off no sleep

162

So far, we are trailing our baseline in both mental tests, but not by enough to say for sure that we're performing significantly worse.

163

Before we can do the physical tests, there's one more thing we need to get through, a full day of classes.

164

As much as I wanted to enjoy class, it was honestly just really bad.

165

I couldn't stay focused on anything, I kept getting distracted, and honestly,

166

all I could think is how badly I wanted to take a nap whenever I got back home.

167

So for that, I'm gonna have to give today's class a bad.

168

But thankfully, I had my iFly tech and no

169

Air 2 with me.

170

While I was sitting in class, it could transcribe what my professor was saying in real time.

171

It actually supports transcription in 18 different language and translation in 14.

172

So instead of trying to frantically write everything down while running on literally zero sleep, I could actually just listen.

173

And afterward, it could take all of that and use ChatGPT5 to turn it into a structured summary.

174

So I could quickly go back through the important stuff without digging through an entire lecture.

175

You can even use AI to ask questions based on your notes, which is really useful if there's something from class you didn't understand,

176

or in my case, something you're way too tired to remember.

177

It also supports AI agents like Codex and Cloud Code for more automation,

178

and its AI assistant can help with things like managing your schedule and calendar.

179

It's got an 8 .2 -inch e -ink display, plus front light speaker, and camera built -in.

180

If you want to check it out,

181

use my code for $50 off and get a free five -year pro membership if you activate before October 31st. Link below.

182

With that out of the way, we only have two more tests before it's time for me to attempt getting the best sleep.

183

First stop, the track.

184

For this first one, I'm going to be seeing how long I can keep up a six -minute mile pace.

185

I don't really think I can do that normally, so I'm interested to see how far we actually get, especially while being completely sleep -deprived.

186

Okay, let's stretch, and let's run this.

187

Three, two, one, go.

188

Okay, here we go.

189

All right, you see that time right there?

190

We basically have to keep that underneath six for the entirety of this run, And as soon as we get to six or past six,

191

we have to stop right where we're at.

192

That's lap one.

193

Let's go.

194

We're 5 .55.

195

We got to keep this pace up when we're done.

196

I definitely wasn't doing good, but honestly, I wasn't doing bad.

197

Oh, that's it.

198

6 .01.

199

We managed 0 .34 miles.

200

I have already taken all these tests on a regular sleep.

201

So I know how that did compared to what I normally do.

202

All I'm going to say is you're going to want to stay

203

and see how fast I can run after a good night's rest.

204

At least we know we can only get better from here.

205

This is the last thing we have to do before this insane day is actually over Basically,

206

i'm gonna be standing here and try and shoot 20 free throws i'm gonna count how many I get

207

This should test my motor skills and my coordination

208

Which i'm pretty sure are suffering right now just from how long i've been awake.

209

Anyways, let's start

210

okay six out of 20 i think

211

that's got to be by far the worst i've ever shot fritos once

212

i actually get some good sleep this is going to be way different i promise you

213

that with all the scores in it's safe to say we did perform worse than the baseline

214

but now it's time to see

215

if putting an effort to get a good sleep actually makes a difference glad

216

this did not break all right since my average sleep score is about an 80 81

217

that's what we're starting off for the baseline because all these hacks

218

that we're doing to get a better sleep don't actually move it up

219

that much so

220

if i cook this all correctly

221

it should move me up two points in a sleep score let's hope i don't mess this up

222

because i only bought one okay time to flip it bro that is burnt i'm pretty sure that's burnt.

223

Oh my gosh, bro.

224

Now this meal might look a little random, but every single thing on this plate was specifically chosen to help me get the best sleep possible.

225

Hey, and shout out

226

Will Tennyson for putting me on this meal.

227

For this meal, my biggest goal is to just not spill this cherry juice on my bed.

228

Here we go.

229

First taste test to the salmon.

230

It honestly doesn't taste burnt at all.

231

It's way better than I thought it was going to be.

232

The rest of these foods are stuff I actually like.

233

Can't go wrong with the kiwi.

234

Rice, obviously good.

235

Let's try this drink.

236

Ugh.

237

Okay, Cody.

238

Please don't spill.

239

not bad not bad honestly it's actually not good

240

i don't know why i said not bad okay honestly none of this especially the salmon

241

i really don't like fish

242

so this is definitely trying something new i'm gonna get through this meal though

243

because i know in a couple hours i'm gonna be wishing i ate more

244

so i'm probably gonna eat pretty much the whole thing definitely burnt on the bottom.

245

It tastes like straight char.

246

Look at that.

247

Regardless of how I felt about the meal, my main goal is to maximize my sleep score.

248

So I ate every last part of this, including the juice.

249

Oh, now there is one more thing I need to go leave the house to do for this sleeping hack.

250

But before we do that, I want to set up my room.

251

That way it's perfect for whenever I get back.

252

All right.

253

First things first, I am going to be changing this to 65.

254

The electric bill is going to be a little bit high on this one.

255

Next things next, blackout curtains.

256

Light tells your brain whenever it's daytime or nighttime.

257

So if I completely eliminate any of the possible sun or moon from coming inside, that will definitely raise my sleep score up some.

258

Next up, a diffuser with lavender.

259

Okay.

260

If this doesn't get me a 100 sleep score, I'm returning it tomorrow.

261

It's crazy how much of a different vibe this is from yesterday,

262

whenever I was filling up that thing of water to drip on my head all night.

263

I think that's good.

264

All right, next thing we need in it is two drops of lavender.

265

No. It's not working.

266

Oh, it is working.

267

Oh, that looks so good.

268

And the last thing we have to make this room as like relaxing as possible let me just show you

269

that ain't going nowhere

270

i'm feeling really good right now about just the vibes in here uh i'm already getting tired

271

which is actually like a really good sign

272

and for the rest of the night i'm officially going screenless i need to head out

273

because the next scientifically proven way to increase

274

this sleep score is at the gym i'm not actually going here to work out though i already did

275

that earlier in the day I'm about to go in here

276

and use the sauna and the reason why I'm doing

277

that is because studies show

278

that a drop in body temperature before nighttime actually produces better sleep

279

so in order to get

280

that drop I'm gonna go sit in 160 degree sauna for 20 minutes also

281

while I'm in here I'm gonna go ahead

282

and listen to some jazz for sleep

283

I'm literally trying to do anything to get

284

this sleep be the best as possible it's five minutes in it's really hot in here

285

and for the next 20 minutes I was completely alone with my thoughts and it got me thinking about how most days,

286

I don't really make much of an effort to take care of my health.

287

But making these videos gives me a reason to actually slow down and try and be better about it. That was cooked.

288

My core temperature is definitely raised now.

289

Let's go home and try and cool it back off.

290

With that out of the way, we only have three more things before we're laying down and putting this scientific sleep to the test.

291

Before I do anything else, I want to take a shower and get all this sweat off of me.

292

I'm actually starting to get like really tired, which is a good sign

293

because there's only a few more things i have to do before i can actually get into bed

294

but honestly there is one thing that's starting to scare me

295

and i think could ruin this whole thing and i think the thing

296

that i'm worried the most about is that i've put in like

297

so much pressure on making sure i get a good sleep tonight

298

that like i think i'm starting to work myself up

299

and i'm not sure how good this sleep is actually gonna be

300

but i'm gonna try not to think about

301

that until we're actually in bed all the stuff

302

that we're about to do before i actually go to bed is all about winding down

303

and the first thing we're doing to help me wind down is reading.

304

Reading is something I think everybody should do but honestly I don't even do it enough myself.

305

So my plan is to try and keep this one going even after I'm done filming.

306

There we go.

307

I don't know if you can tell but I'm actually getting like so tired right now.

308

I feel like my eyes are heavy and like I just feel like really ready for bed.

309

Anyways this is the last thing I'm doing before I'm getting in bed and tucking myself in.

310

I'm about to journal.

311

I guess the idea behind journaling before bed is you essentially get all of your thoughts out before

312

you're in bed so you're not really stuck there thinking about all this different stuff

313

all right i got all my thoughts out

314

that's for sure um yeah let's get in bed with everything we've done

315

so far i mean it is surely to be like an estimated of a 100

316

i'm also going to be playing rain noise

317

and wearing an eye mask okay good night y 'all see

318

you on the morning we'll see what this sleep score is

319

i was definitely right about being nervous for this sleep

320

because it took me

321

so long to fall asleep it felt like i was just laying there forever

322

and i couldn't tell if it was the eye mask

323

or the spinning galaxy or the white light i kept on

324

so you could see me sleeping but just something was wrong

325

i ended up getting up

326

and out of bed about three times before

327

i came up with a solution

328

I realized my biggest issue about trying to fall asleep was the glaring white light that was keeping me up.

329

So even with a blackout curtain, it didn't matter because I was blasting myself with blue light.

330

I set my monitor to red and I slept amazing the rest of the night.

331

Alright, um, good morning.

332

Oh, I slept so good last night.

333

I did not want to get out of bed let's see what our sleep score was boom okay what bruh

334

it was only at 87 oh how was it at 87 i slept

335

so good last night i put in all

336

that effort into getting the perfect night's sleep

337

and i couldn't even break 90 but theoretically all that effort should pay off in today's tests

338

All right, first one's first.

339

Sequence memory.

340

Today's tests were the one that mattered the most, and if I wasn't able to prove to myself that the sleep actually mattered,

341

I know myself, and I know I wouldn't start taking it seriously.

342

An 8.

343

Are you serious?

344

That is worse than my worst sleep and my baseline.

345

So far, we are not off to a good start

346

if i'm trying to prove

347

that the sleep actually matters last test the chimp test i don't know

348

if there's performance anxiety or what

349

but i genuinely did worse on this test too bro

350

that was a misclick oh my gosh dude i just failed

351

this one again what dude how is like my brain

352

so sharp on a bad sleep

353

and now i can't even get anywhere close to what i was doing yesterday

354

so far it was two to zero

355

if i wanted any chance of the best sleep proving itself i would have to go three

356

and oh for these next three tests even though we bombed the mental test

357

i definitely felt like i was able to focus much better in class today

358

and it was honestly just much more enjoyable altogether

359

so i'm gonna be ranking it an ite and

360

that now puts us two to one with the bad sleep still leading in all the tests

361

and even if i did miss anything i still had my ai note air 2 with me

362

and you can check

363

it out too with the link in the description with class

364

over it's time to head outside for the final physical tests all right

365

you know the drill i'm gonna run around this track

366

and see how long i can keep a six minute mile pace um i'm not getting any more ready

367

so let's just go ahead

368

and do this all right three two one go okay

369

you know the drill everybody let's keep it below six i was honestly feeling

370

so good and so confident that i was gonna beat my last two scores.

371

Already passed the no sleep.

372

Let's keep it up.

373

Almost there.

374

And then we passed the baseline sleep.

375

Oh, here we go.

376

I'm so happy about that.

377

0 .63.

378

And that ties it up.

379

Now we have one test left.

380

I'm so happy about that.

381

After failing to beat my sleepy self at the mental tasks this morning, I needed to win.

382

Right now we're tied up though.

383

That's two for the worst sleep and two for the scientifically best sleep.

384

That means it really all does come down to how good I can shoot these free throws.

385

I really want to prove to myself that like getting a good sleep actually matters.

386

You know what I'm saying?

387

Because if I can prove that to myself, then I think I'll probably take care of my health a lot more.

388

At this point, I think I'm definitely like ignoring some like of my health and stuff, just trying to grind on YouTube and school and stuff.

389

And I don't know, doing these videos are just like, they're so good.

390

Like it actually gives me a reason to try and get better.

391

You know what I'm saying?

392

I just want to say thank you for that.

393

And no matter how this last test goes i'm just happy

394

that i just got to spend one day trying to better myself all right let's go do this

395

okay this is it there's no more waiting let's get started oh bad start zero out of one oh my gosh dude

396

okay one out of four one out of four this isn't bad two out of five no no

397

okay Okay.

398

Woo!

399

oh let's go at the end of this i was at 10 out of 19

400

and if i wanted to make my goal

401

i needed to make this next come on dude come on i have to make this last shot come on cody

402

here we go let's go let's do this come on

403

I guess that proves your sleep actually does matter.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
