@DaedriCxNZ ya i am close minded to things that make sense. you got me there.

@airplaneking No, he is not absurd. You are just close minded.

@asmaidris Do you realize how absurd this man sounds? Telling you actual hours to go to sleep. You are probably always tired because you are fat.

@DaedriCxNZ People don't realize it because it's not true.

@Boredomia THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH!

FitnWellnessTruth . c o m , check out his blog at that site, this guy helped me A LOT! genuine, and straightforward

@AmusingYeti Oh right so don't take issue with the point, vomit out a red herring. As I thought - he doesn't have any qualifications to talk about this and nutrition - he's basically a personal trainer calling himself an 'expert' in other fields. I'm qualified as a personal trainer with YMCA and NASM - not what I do for a living; it's dead easy to get qualified and means nothing - kinesiology from san diego state has virtually no nutrition in it if you look, the other 'qualifications' are jokes

@Boredomia Oh lord! Come on dude: B.S. Kinesiology Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor ACE Certified Personal Trainer NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist Shauns qualifications. Where are yours? Oh right its your youtube account. Im not following this guy like a fanboy. I spend a lot of time reading scientific papers and research conducted on anything to do with nutrition and sports. The fact you havent heard of Alan Aragon means you have zero opinion.

@AmusingYeti One more thing; it's fundamentally dishonest to use an emotional topic like weight loss (especially for fat people) and use it to market your video on sleep which doesn't really have much to do with it. That's why this beanpole is such a penisface.

@AmusingYeti No it's not important for fat loss. You won't be in a plateau because you're sleeping 6 odd hours a night because you have a tough job. Look I realise this twat in the video has quite a following and you probably are one of his fanboys, but most of the videos on diet and exercise I've seen of his are total crap and very misleading. It's clear to me this guy has no qualifications to talk about these subjects.

@Boredomia I cant be bothered for a youtube argument and cant fit the info in this tiny box, but rethink your thought pattern a little. You are correct. Diet and exercise are the key components to fat loss. Shaun made a video about this so why hate on him. Then we come to sleep. Look at Alan Aragons' articles and papers. I cant find the one he did on sleep and i should have saved it! Sleep is very important. Not just the amount but the type and timing.

@alickamoso1 Sorry...what do you think I said exactly? Reread. Diet and exercise is all you need to control for fat loss. Lack of sleep i.e. less than 5/6 hours on a regular basis can decrease test levels, increase cortisol levels slightly (depending on the person of course) which won't help fat loss. If you're getting that level of sleep, you don't need some anorexic braindead manwoman telling you, forget fat loss - you're exhausted - you KNOW you need more!

This guy really knows his stuff. He's touching on things that humanity is a whole, doesn't seem to realise, despite the huge and almost instant change in modern society and techonology compared to say, only 100 years ago. Our biological nature cannot adapt to such drastics changes in so short an amount of time. Personally, I believe the huge incline in cancer over the last century to be directly related to this issue.

@markmarvelous long as u get 9hrs of sleep a day, ur ok...dnt fuckin worry about if its day or night

@Boredomia Ok, so you think that people and animals dont have specific sleep cycles? That bears dont have to hibernate in the winter, that it doesnt matter how much sleep we get. That it doesnt matter that people are sleeping when the sun is up and working when the sun is down? Yeah, your theory sounds way more plausible than sean's.

BUT I WORK THE NIGHTSHIFT/ 1045-730, I REALLY CANT BE ASLEEP AT THOSE HOURS.......

yes and cavemen looked like natural bodybuilders

@Boredomia I remember when I was tough on the internet...

@Boredomia if you have all the answers, then why aren't you making videos that people will watch..?

@roc1789 I've heard Mercola say that people who work nights have much higher rates of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Unfortunately he says its best to find a new line of work.

You spent 6.29 minutes telling people to get around 8 hours sleep. Seriously - STFU. Everyone knows this!!! And NO it doesn't make much difference how much you sleep for fat loss as long as it's an ok amount; how much is ok depends completely on the person, it's more important for muscle gain - but why would you know that because you look like an anorexic 12 year old girl on clenbuterol. I'm 8% body fat? The secret - diet, exercise, supplements, hard work - no 'secrets' you deluded prat.

Who needs a textbook when you have this dude. You are a guru mate!

what about people who work over nights?

are you a christian?

wow very well informed. im changing my sleep cycle now. i think you just changed my life! haha. but seriously, very very good video. thanks man.
