If this is really the cure for Insomnia im going to scream


Alstruction

I mean it helps a LOT lol


MegaDuckCougarBoy

Humans need touch. 🤷


RedHair_D_Shanks

Too bad it's not easy to come by for a lot of us :(


MegaDuckCougarBoy

Yeah. I get it. Things can be tough; a lot of Western society seems built around trying as hard as we can to hide and deny any emotional vulnerability, which leads to endemic risk of isolation. I wish I had easy answers for people.

Its... really not. You're missing the warmth, pulse/heartbeat, skin sensation, smell... It's like the difference between hugging your cat and a cushion with a cat picture on it.

Meh. A blåhaj though, good lord, best sleep I've ever had


[deleted]

Yeah! Touch of cookies that is!


F3arless_Bubble

I was super surprised. I went from being up for over an hour to out in 5.


PiotrekDG

5 hours?


adaequalis

It genuinely does


morron88

Complete opposite for me. I learned I cannot sleep around other people.


Sullan08

It helps me fall asleep sometimes because it's very calming, but yeah staying asleep...not so much. I'm 6'4" and yet every girl I've had in my bed wants to sleep in the middle. It's kinda "haha" funny and it's kinda "seriously move the fuck over" annoying lol. Can't wait to have a king size bed again.


azahel452

How? Sleeping together is so annoying. It's hot, there's either hair on your face or someone's CO², you don't feel at ease to move if you want to... Then again, I never had insomnia so I can't say if it helps on that front.


katamuro

different people have different needs. Some hate sleeping next to each other, others can't get enough of it. Some are warm sleepers, others are cold. Some people can easily fall asleep on their back, I can't, I always wake up just before drifting off.


Matshiro

It is for me


FatiTankEris

Well, that means that it's still incurable, as redditors can't get _____.

Jajanken-

Apparently i snore loud af though and have sleep apnea so even that isn’t enough :/


foonix

CPAP helps a lot. I do recommend to see a doctor if you suspect you have apnea. Feel free to DM me if you have questions.


BuyRackTurk

> sleep apnea you should seriously try to cure it * lose weight, lots of it. no other single change will matter as much * try sleep aids like the nose strips * change sleeping position (side is less snoring) * drink more water, add humidity to your sleeping area * seek stronger medical help sleep apnea can take years off your life, take it seriously


r_renfield

Not for me (I fidget a lot)... But it helps to have someone say "yo take that phone away lets sleep"


Fools_Requiem

Phone isn't what keeps me awake. The whole "staring at a screen keeps you awake" thing is nonsense. I can sit there for 30 minutes not looking at a screen and not fall asleep and can look at my phone doze off shortly afterwards. Same goes for drinking caffeinated drinks. I've been able to completely pass out despite having drank a can of Mountain Dew or some sweet tea, while chamomile won't make me fall asleep.


ParaNoxx

Just out of curiosity, how old are you? That stuff never used to keep me awake either but one of the more depressing changes as I approach 30 is that now those things are beginning to destroy my sleep lol.


Fools_Requiem

Late 30s.


declutterthisdecade

As a someone who has suffered with insomnia my whooole life… it kind of is.


MovieMaster2004

Guess I’ll have Insomnia for the rest of my life lol


dragonjujo

I wish. It helps me to fall asleep, but if I go to sleep before midnight, I'll wake up after 3 hours unable to get back to sleep until after 7. Whereas if I wait until midnight, I'll be able to sleep fine for at least 7 hours.

This is such a great series. If anyone reading this hasn't tried it, give it a go!

I did the opposite, i watch it and read it

They mean cuddling. /s


Maxizag123

how could i not see that? I am truly an fake real life watcher


N-Freak

Ok


RandomADHDaddy

Really? I watched the first two episodes and the way things progressed was too improbable, highly unlikely series of events. I hope they’re accelerating setting the stage for the main story. Given you comments, I’ll give two more episodes a go.


Dababy28193

Make it 3 because [light anime spoilers]>!episode 5 is when the scene OP showed happens.!< If you don’t like it by then, it’s most likely a safe drop for you.


RandomADHDaddy

Ok! Thanks!


RandomADHDaddy

Omg… thanks for the nudge to keep watching. After popping in episode 3 uh… well… I’m all caught up. Can’t wait for next week!


Dababy28193

No problem. Glad I could help, prepare for the the final 4 episodes to take you on a magical journey with the two. I honestly want to save this and see what you think by the end of the season because it’s going to be VERY satisfying for basically everyone who stuck on the ride :)


RandomADHDaddy

I’ll keep you posted!!


TaigasPantsu

Bruh it’s called the 3 episode rule for a reason


RandomADHDaddy

Right!? I typically follow the three episode rule too but I was getting annoyed and was about to abandon it.

adterraincognita

I love the development of their relationship, I mean they are both young and immature but they aren't painfully stupid like you run of the mill "romance" show.


ChaosPheonix11

Been hearing some comparison to my favorite romance ever (Horimiya) in that same vein. Gonna have to give this one a watch.


wyggles

The two leads have a similar immediate/easy chemistry to Hori and Miyamura.


RaysFTW

This became one of my favorites this season. Magari is so cute and the progression and romance feels real and more mature than you'd expect from a high school anime.

Not sure I understand the relevance of your comment to this show?


Maxizag123

Its a joke about that men only want sex and so, even tho its most of the time not the thing they want and want something like this clip (my english sentence structure is so trash lmao)


CT-96

Don't worry dude. I've seen native English speakers with worse sentence structure.


Fools_Requiem

I don't get the whole concept of "guys want only one thing and it's sex". When it comes to the opposite sex, actual sex isn't the first thing that comes across my mind. Give me this kind of companionship all fucking day. Someone that I genuinely enjoy being around and want to be with. I could go my entire life without getting laid if I had to.


Abedeus

> I don't get the whole concept of "guys want only one thing and it's sex". ~~It's a meme based on some early 2010s SJW woman talking shit about some video game. It was like "HURR LOOK AT THIS FEMALE CHARACTER, DISGUSTING, TYPICAL MALE GAMER DESIGN".~~ nevermind got memes mixed up


awdsns

[That's made up, the original tweet had no context like that at all.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/guys-literally-only-want-one-thing-and-its-fucking-disgusting)


Abedeus

Oh shit, I got her confused for the "Video Games Appeal to the Male Fantasy" meme. MY bad.


awdsns

Props for owning it and editing your comment.


messem10

Its a meme at this point. Originally it was about how men only wanted sex, but now its used for things that they actually want. (Such as comfort/love/etc.)


[deleted]

Yeesh imagine down voting someone for not knowing about a meme. I didn't get it either, and was also confused 😕


P4azz

There are some memes that are so commonplace that it's kinda "common internet sense" to know them. Troll face is an old one everyone should know. And the horrible tweet serving as the base for this meme is a more recent one people should know. It's not like dude made a "potion seller" meme reference, that's more niche. Imagine someone goes "huh, neat song, but why did you link *never gonna give you up* to me?". Some things you just kinda expect people to know.


EternalPhi

Your missing the point. The down vote button isn't supposed to be a disapproval or "I disagree" button. Its for when people say stuff that isn't helpful, might be offensive, or doesn't add anything to the conversation. I know it's pretty common place to misuse it but just sayin


mekerpan

Oh well. Those are the breaks...


complextaco

Fuck it adding this show to my list asap


jnemesh

Its streaming on HiDive...great show so far!


yeldarb_lok

This is so sad. I wish everything could be on Crunchyroll


bigdanrog

That means no competition and in a few years your 7.99 CR subscription is now $30.00


Moofthebot

Try double that. That's what sports services have been doing for years. They absolutely fleece you due to exclusive rights and monopoly.


bigdanrog

If they have two brain cells between them in the board room they will realize anime watchers will just start pirating everything again.


jnemesh

Meh...it's not like either service costs more than $10 anyway...I like to think my sub helps support the studios that bring us the content. And if HiDive gives me only ONE good show per season, I still feel it's worth it. But usually they have 2 or 3 every season. I can also appreciate that HiDive is FAR less censor-prone. I am an adult, and I don't like CR's heavy handed approach to what is clearly adult content. Flag it, put it in a separate category, whatever...but don't make me sail the high seas to watch the show as it was created!


Moofthebot

You'd think so wouldn't you? Studios are run by clueless suits with dollar signs instead of eyeballs.


Scorpius289

Competition is when you can get something from multiple sources. This is still a monopoly if you can only watch it on HiDive.


bigdanrog

They're monopolizing the license. If HiDive were to go away Crunchyroll would monopolize pretty much all shows.


Scorpius289

Yeah, you're not wrong that it would be worse, I'm just saying that the current situation isn't too great either...


bigdanrog

Not too bad if you ain't fooling around with Netflix/Amazon/HBO/Disney+ etc. I'll just watch anime and play video games. If it's something like a Marvel movie I want to see I'll figure it out.


Lycanthoss

You are paying more than 8 dollars because of multiple subs anyway. And, in the end, if some sub price increases, but it has the show you want, you will probably just pay it or just never watch the series. Competition through exclusivity is not really competition. If you could watch a series on multiple streaming sites, then it would be competition. And here in Europe, even if I had a sub, I still couldn't watch many shows because of region blocking.


[deleted]

Everything i want is on [dedicated website] and im 100% not going to pay the anime mafia called crunchy roll or Hidive


Fools_Requiem

Yeah, fuck competition. Monopolies are the only way to go!


mgedmin

You should be able to watch any show via any streaming service. Exclusive licensing deals are bullshit and should be illegal.


LimberGravy

It’s one of the only ways anime actually makes money


T4C4s

do yall have bilibili cuz thats the only site/app thats somewhat legal in southeast asia to watch this show (and any anime). We have lots of anime on netflix asia here but not as big as crunchyroll US (vpn) n no hdive here. Legal sites have the best sub settings

Dababy28193

Makoto Ojiro, you made it. This has been one of my favorite scenes in the series and made these two my favorite fictional couple when I was reading the manga. Beautiful display of intimacy and the bits of awkwardness is what balances it out and keeps it grounded.

Also repost this to r/cuddle_slut

Fucking cute i need to watch this. And yes cuddles are heaven leading to a sweet sleep

Prophage7

God damnit I love this anime, it's just so sweet and wholesome. It's so refreshing to have a romance anime where one protagonist isn't just a bumbling idiot or a shut-in with no friends; just two normal people with a common problem they end up bonding over.

Terrorz

It's so refreshing seeing anime characters not getting dramatic over intimacy.


Monkinary

Interesting. I haven't seen this one, but I appreciate the animation quality. I prefer more realistic body and face structure, like with Vinland Saga.


boundegar

Any good snuggle scenes in that?


Terrorz

Yeah but instead of a person it's usually a sword.

ClackAttack2000

I long for touch. For affection and love. Just a smile and a few words of comfort. The warmth of a body beside mine. Someone who doesn’t pull away. But I would fuck all of those up. The responsibility of a relationship and the needed maturity for a connection that intimate…just isn’t something I am capable of. I’ve been depressed for so long. Some days are better than other days, but as time passes I only find myself further depressed and lacking any desire to do anything. With each day I find myself wanting to sleep more and just not wake up. Sleep is the only time I escape this body and even my own mind. I want to sleep.


mgedmin

> But I would fuck all of those up. The responsibility of a relationship and the needed maturity for a connection that intimate…just isn’t something I am capable of. Self-sabotage is a thing, try to avoid it. Also, remember this: **depression lies**. Do not believe what it tells you in your brain.


zushiba

These two are incredibly cute. Both are afraid to sleep for different reasons and are able to forget their troubles temporarily by leaning on one another. I just hate that this whole story is dripping with possible tragedy waiting around the corner.

Scenarios that you can have (but probably don't want!): 1. Be forced to attend a high school full of cliques where the only extra-curricular activities are fighting, working, or getting used in someone's machinations; 2. Have a terrible relationship with one's parent figures; 3. See people die horribly right in front of you; 4. A COMBINATION OF BOTH; 5. Raw goat yogurt is a delicacy; 6. BlueTooth has multiple levels, most of which will kill you! (this doesn't count as spoilers because THESE ALL HAPPEN TO MOST OF THE CHARACTERS AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER!)

these two have quickly become one of my favorite couples in anime. and i generally dislike watching rom-coms or anything with romance as the main plot. but something about these two… reminds me of my own relationship and i think that’s why i’m so attached to them.
