• 1:05
  Chase, I was contacted by a company called yummy and they
• 1:08

• 1:12
  which is a strawberry flavored sweets in the UK, or candies.
• 1:15
  If you want in, America are going sweet and they sent me two
• 1:18
  boxes of 60 of them and you take two and night to help you sleep
• 1:22
  on this could be for you know young people or anybody really
• 1:26
  who wanting to try and use melatonin to sleep.
• 1:29
  Now going to talk a little bit about what melatonin is and then
• 1:32
  how it can be effective. And then, I'm going to talk
• 1:34
  about this. He's product and and what I
• 1:37
  found was, I actually have taken this product and I've actually
• 1:41
  used it. So let me know in the comments
• 1:43
  below if you've used melatonin before or if you've used
• 1:45
  something similar or any other kind of sleeping kind of
• 1:48
  medication. Because I know there's different
• 1:49
  types of sleep medication around for different types of people
• 1:53
  and you know, melatonin is just one of many and today I'm
• 1:57
  looking at melatonin specifically.
• 1:59
  Now this video is proudly brought to you by yummy and
• 2:02
  their sleep, melatonin capsules. And this is really cool.
• 2:04
  There are you K company. These are vegan friendly.
• 2:07
  And I'm very, very excited to do this video because one thing
• 2:10
  when Brands contact me, I want to make sure I'm working with
• 2:12
  brands or products that are going to benefit from the
• 2:14
  audience and I'm that I can actually come on board with.
• 2:17
  So this is pretty cool. So this is part of a series.
• 2:19
  I'm going to do a series on Asperger's and sleeping.
• 2:22
  The next one I'm going to do, I think for next week is going to
• 2:24
  be all about sleeping in mattresses and different types
• 2:27
  of things like that for people with Asperger's Syndrome with
• 2:29
  your blankets Etc. So, without further Ado, let's
• 2:31
  get on, okay? So melatonin is a hormone that
• 2:35
  Is created in the pineal gland one of many places.
• 2:38
  And it's produced there and it's produced to help regularly
• 2:40
  wakefulness or the hours of work on which is basically every like
• 2:44
  conscious decision. You have your constantly week
• 2:45
  for those things and it regulates it.
• 2:47
  So it releases melatonin to know what you know when you're awake,
• 2:50
  when you're not awake, you know, all these kind of things.
• 2:53
  Now, melatonin is a hormone, it's naturally produced in the
• 2:55
  body but sometimes you don't always have enough of it
• 2:58
  produced. So this is why people take
• 3:00
  supplements. Now this is a food supplement
• 3:03
  which is basically not really a mess.
• 3:05
  Location because medication is something different to a food
• 3:07
  supplement, food, supplements obviously are naturally
• 3:09
  occurring food, supplements, exactly what they are or a
• 3:14
  synthesized medicine to help with a certain illness.
• 3:17
  Now, people take melatonin to help them sleep at night.
• 3:21
  A lot of people take melatonin tablets, I know that there is a,
• 3:24
  you can get, like, prescription melatonin tablets.
• 3:26
  You can also get like, melatonin.
• 3:27
  I'm shooting it like, melatonin shots.
• 3:29
  I'm almost certain, you can't. But, you know, anything that
• 3:32
  you're doing like this, I'd always consult a doctor and this
• 3:34
  is like it. You'll see here now.
• 3:35
  So before, you know, wanting to try out, anything always consult
• 3:39
  your doctor or a medical profession or your Healthcare
• 3:41
  visitor or anybody like that. If you want to try something out
• 3:43
  I guess go. He's a pretty much more the safe
• 3:45
  ones if you find food supplement on a shelf in a store, you can
• 3:48
  buy them on a website without any kind of like medical
• 3:50
  licensing or like pharmaceutical sign off, then they should be
• 3:53
  pretty much. Okay.
• 3:54
  So, like I said, in the intro, I actually have a diagnosis of
• 3:57
  Asperger syndrome, and this is a autism, spectrum, condition, and
• 4:01
  many of you guys have already watching and your white, My
• 4:02
  Views, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about with.
• 4:05
  An Asperger's Syndrome, it comes with a bunch of other stuff, and
• 4:07
  one of those things for me, if the fact that yeah, I can't
• 4:10
  sleep that well at night or basically, I don't sleep as well
• 4:13
  as I'd like to sleep. And because of this, this causes
• 4:16
  for real heavy issues, you know, when you have Asperger's
• 4:19
  Syndrome, your brain is running like a thousand miles an hour.
• 4:21
  You want to be up, doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
• 4:23
  I'm always making projects or making videos on making music or
• 4:26
  reading this thing or doing that thing or just researching crazy
• 4:29
  stuff up. My brain is always going
• 4:31
  constantly constantly at it. Now the downfall of that is that
• 4:34
  get really, really Tired, but then I can't sleep that.
• 4:36
  Well and so when you can't sleep that, well you've got this,
• 4:38
  you're really retired, your brains super, super active, how
• 4:41
  do you come down for a, how do you can level off and relax?
• 4:43
  This is why I was really eager to try this.
• 4:45
  Now I also track my sleep, I have a sleeping app on my
• 4:49
  iPhone, I track every single night sleep.
• 4:51
  I have them for about three or four years.
• 4:53
  This same app is what I'm going to be using in this series so
• 4:56

• 4:57

• 4:59
  videos in the series of ways to help sleeping for people with
• 5:02
  Asperger's syndrome. And autism.
• 5:04
  I'm going to Give you guys the rundown of what these are these
• 5:08
  little gummies and actually took these things to see if it would
• 5:11
  help me sleep. And I'll give you a full kind of
• 5:14
  like just an overview review of the smell.
• 5:16
  The taste, it did it work? What the app said and stuff like
• 5:20
  that. Okay, so first of all, you get
• 5:22
  60 of these in a bottle and you have to take to a note.
• 5:25
  So you get 30 nights, which is basically got a month's worth in
• 5:29
  one of these little fat. And this also actually contains
• 5:34
  vitamin B6 A little bit of sugar then obviously, melatonin.
• 5:38
  There's also a chance to win a free bottle if you tag them on
• 5:41
  Instagram with their, there's like on the back of.
• 5:43
  What if you tag them in Instagram with hashtag yummy gum
• 5:47
  he's at yummy nutrition. You should be able to put
• 5:51
  yourself in for a competition to actually win one of those just
• 5:54
  kind of cool. I don't know any other companies
• 5:55
  that do that was kind of really cool.
• 5:57
  These are vegan and vegetarian friendly, which is super cool
• 5:59
  because a lot of gummies aren't vegan.
• 6:01
  So if you're a vegan or going to vegan diet, then these actually
• 6:03
  will work for you, okay? So, I open the heat when I
• 6:06
  opened it. I smile.
• 6:07
  And I was like, whoa, but it doesn't taste anything.
• 6:10
  Like it smells that's really weird as well but it's super
• 6:13
  awesome because like I smell it I was like okay it smells really
• 6:15
  sweet kind of like Jack Daniels but then it tastes amazing was
• 6:18
  actually a bit get it that I can only take two because they were
• 6:22
  actually really yummy. I could like snack on these
• 6:24
  things all day. This is what they actually look
• 6:26
  like the little squishy gummies and they look a little bit like
• 6:30
  strawberries because it's a strawberry flavor, the very firm
• 6:32
  which is quite nice and there. Really squishy.
• 6:36
  I got a really good texture. Well, this is so good.
• 6:39
  The Taste is outstanding. I've tasted like vitamins weeks
• 6:42
  before supplement gummies and stuff like that.
• 6:45
  Now, none came close to this one tasting wise and I'm not just
• 6:47
  saying that because it's Wanted the video.
• 6:49
  I honestly mean that I got is this is amazing.
• 6:51
  These taste. Absolutely phenomenal.
• 6:52
  So that was a kind of overview of it, and it comes in this cool
• 6:54
  little kind of hipster bottle because, you know, the color
• 6:56
  scheme, it's really cool. I love it because I get kind of
• 6:58
  matches my aesthetically and could be like my brand, but no,
• 7:01
  I love it. So I have a couple months stuff
• 7:03
  there. So what I'm going to be doing,
• 7:05
  As well in my Vlog. So if you follow this Channel
• 7:07
  and follow my Vlog, so starting in January and we doing like two
• 7:09
  Vlogs a week as well, I will be tracking my sleep with these
• 7:13
  gummies and see how I get on, which is super, super awesome.
• 7:16
  I just, I just love it. I think the pretty awesome.
• 7:18
  So the young company really, really cool that I reached out
• 7:21
  to me, and they're really nice and they sent me these two
• 7:22
  bottles. So thank you for that guys.
• 7:24
  That's awesome. Okay, so now did it help my
• 7:27
  sleep. Okay, so I use a sleeper Tracker
• 7:30
  app called sleep cycle and sleep cycles kind of like you turn it
• 7:34
  on. Then you put it next to your
• 7:36
  head, whilst you sleep, like you lay on table, basically.
• 7:40
  And then it records all of the movements if you make in a
• 7:43
  night. So it gives you this like a
• 7:45
  lovely little graph of how you sleep in a night.
• 7:47
  Now, I've been running this up for about two or three years,
• 7:50
  tracking my sleep and I've never got 100% Sleep Quality.
• 7:55
  Ever the closest. I've Got to Sleep Quality.
• 7:58
  Perfectness is like moving 94%. And that is since attending this
• 8:02
  matters, which I'll do in another video which is going to
• 8:05
  Be next week, which was super excited about.
• 8:07
  But this actual I took those gummies yesterday and I went to
• 8:13
  sleep. I was normal.
• 8:14
  I actually had for the first time ever, 100%, Sleep Quality.
• 8:18
  Now, this app doesn't lie is very, very good.
• 8:20
  It's very sensitive. It tells you how much time you
• 8:22
  snore, for how many steps you did in the day?
• 8:23
  Attract everything is really, really cool.
• 8:25
  And says what you hurry is, ETC. I tell you something that the
• 8:28
  difference in taking the Melatonin for me personally.
• 8:32
  And I'm like a, you know, a 32 year old male.
• 8:35
  On the Spectrum, taking melatonin actually did help me
• 8:39
  sleep and, and I feel like it did.
• 8:41
  I feel like it really did help. And, and that was kind of, like,
• 8:43
  really interesting to me because I've never ever taken any
• 8:47
  melatonin supplements of no taken any sleeping supplements.
• 8:49
  I mean, the most I've ever done is taken like a sleepy.
• 8:52
  T, you get, like, a little tease that have like a, I don't know,
• 8:55
  marshmallow root or balerion route, whatever in it and give
• 8:58
  this tea and it's like a sleepy tea and take that.
• 9:00
  And it relaxes eunuch said you to sleep unless of course
• 9:02
  something I've ever gotten to having like a sleep supplement.
• 9:05
  If you like, so to me, it's kind of like, did this work.
• 9:08
  Yeah, I mean, to me. It did, you know, I'm going to
• 9:10
  be completely honest. It might the data shows that
• 9:12
  these little melatonin gummies, actually, help me sleep.
• 9:15
  Now, am I going to continue to use them?
• 9:16
  Well, I'm going to use them until they run out.
• 9:18
  So I've got about 2 months worth of these gummies.
• 9:21
  I'm going to be continually updating you guys on these.
• 9:24
  Now, if you want to actually get your hands on some of these
• 9:26
  gummies, the link is in the description below.
• 9:29
  Now, the reason that I find that this is very effective is
• 9:32
  because they are gummies. Children can be because You get
• 9:35
  supplements in different types of things and a lot of people
• 9:37
  can't eat them because, you know, they maybe they don't like
• 9:39
  taking pills or maybe they don't like taking like, you know,
• 9:42
  liquid medication or whatever. But gummies are just little tiny
• 9:45
  sweets that you just chew on and they taste amazing.
• 9:47
  So that's why I would highly recommend if you wanted to try
• 9:49
  and give you the our child, a food supplement or something
• 9:51
  like that or yourself. And you don't like the taste of
• 9:53
  like medicines and stuff. Then why not check out like
• 9:56
  gummies? You mean?
• 9:57
  This company is awesome and they're from the UK.
• 9:58
  So I kind of I love that, I love the factor from the UK, which
• 10:01
  basically means to me, there's no nasties in them.
• 10:03
  You know, there's no, like GM mode.
• 10:05
  Stuff in them. So, in conclusion, do I think
• 10:07
  melatonin can help people sleep with Asperger syndrome to me
• 10:10
  from my experience? Currently, I'd say, yes.
• 10:13
  Judging on the data that's being produced.
• 10:15
  Do I think it's going to help every single person?
• 10:17
  I don't know because I can't tell how your body reacts to
• 10:20
  different things. I don't know if it's you know,
• 10:22
  it's something that help you bright-eyed advice or try it
• 10:25
  because you never know what like to me it worked and I just, you
• 10:28
  know, you have to be honest and try something and try to make
• 10:30
  things. I would highly recommend
• 10:31
  checking out this company because the link is in the
• 10:33
  description below so please check them.
• 10:35
  And tell him that Dan sent you send a tweet or Instagram or
• 10:37
