I'm so sorry you've been through so much lately. I hope you don't mind if I share a short poem with you that helped me through some of my darkest times last year: "You've just come in from a rainstorm. You can't expect to be immediately dry, warm, and comfortable, but you can do the little things take off the heavy clothing, turn on the coffee pot, wrap yourself in a blanket. One small thing at a time- healing is a process" - Whitney Hanson

Oh EeeBee, what a year you've had. I'm sure you won't read this, as I feel it'll be quite long, but I didn't know you had lost Atlas, and JP too, Flippin eck!!! I suffer from depression too, and also S.A.D. and to be honest, I've given up trying to battle against it, especially at this time of year, when all I want to do is stay in bed, and hibernate till springtime. So, for me, I'm just waiting for the long hot days to come back, and I'll try not to dwell on 'upset' or anything negative. Just keep being you, as you're one of my very few favourites on YT. It's weird, but I have come to think of you as a kind of 'friend' who I like to just check in on from time to time. See what you're upto etc.... Love you to bits, EeeBee. YDYB. xx

Elbat!! You don’t have to apologize!! We love you and want to support you anyway we can♥️♥️♥️ take your time. I lost my poor kitty to a seizure last year and there is no greater pain than loosing your fur-baby. You have our hearts and we’re all here for you🩷

The fact that she is going though all of that and still manages to get content out is impressive

I don't know if you'll see this. When I found your channels, I'd literally lost everything. I really can't overstate the despair I was in. Your voice helped me sleep at times. Your humor helped me smile. Your positive attitude helped me keep my head up. Your adventures helped me see outside of the box I was in. This is all just to say that you have made a positive impact in the world that may not be apparent on the surface. This season of your life hurts a lot. I doubt it's any consolation to know that it does get better on the other side of this. In ways you won't be able to imagine until you make it through. Thank you for being and the positive ripples that has created everywhere.

@Ellbat it is looking much brighter and I'm grateful and optimistic for the future. Thank you! You got this.

I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in this video. I’m also having a rough january, and today I saw something that reminded me that we’re only halfway through january, and there is so much of the year left ahead full of potential. I’m so heartbroken to hear about everything you’ve been through in the last month. Thank you for the comforting video 🧡

❤ rip sweet atlas. He was such a good boy

To address the sunset problem, changing your lighting (easiest with smart bulbs) can achieve a similar effect. Hope things start going better, Ellbat. I'm really sad about Atlas. He will be missed 💚

I’m so sorry Elle… I actually cried a bit when you told us about your kitty. I just auto cry now at pet death after losing my eldest baby. So much love and hugs, lovely lady.

OMG! I'm sooo sorry to hear you had such a shitty past few months! Sending good vibes and love across the pond to you! We've missed your videos but if this is too soon, take all the time you need to take care of yourself first! We'll be here.

When did she break up with her boyfriend? I had no idea. They were together for ages weren’t they. Someone update me… sad

I want you to know you were a big part of my life getting better. I am chronically ill, it was you talking about the "sustainable" way of doing things that made me realise i was holding myself to an unrealistic standard. It wasnt just one comment on one video, it was how youd keep that theme throughout. Id watch your vids over and over to keep me motivated when doing the hard things, everything from brushing my teeth to exercising. Im glad to see you're back, and i really hope you've found a passion in writing. I think you'll be quite good at it.

I am so so sorry about everything that has happened. I have been there! It takes time and only time to feel better. But I promise you-life gets so much better!!

I’m sorry to hear about your struggles lately. I had no idea you had split from your partner. That in itself is incredibly hard, nevermind losing a pet. Sending the hugest hugs imaginable and hope you feel better soon!

As someone who has struggled with sleep, especially good quality sleep, my entire life, I really appreciate the honesty that Ellbat shows. "Yes, you can do all these things, but that does not mean you HAVE to." Its refeshing. Thank you. :)

I’ve always believed that if you go through struggles, good things are gonna come from it. I honestly can’t imagine what it would be like to go through all of that, and the fact that this video STILL came out is beyond impressive. Nothing but support and love for Ellbat. I have a good feeling things will get better tho, as nothing lasts forever.

I so agree with the high protein, high carb dinner meal. I could not sleep at all on a ketogenic diet. I added carbs to my protien dinner and sleep like a rock. Even if I wake up I can go back to sleep.

Really impressed you managed to make a new video over the last week given everything that has been going on. Hope things are getting better. Would be nice to see a follow up if you manage to keep / find a routine that works for you long term.

Hi, I have been doing this almost exact routine for a month. I have been struggling with ADHD associated insomnia, so I had to come up with a winding down ritual along with sleep restriction therapy. I must say that this is one of the best this i have come up with in a while. I struggle with clutter and chaotic environment due to ADHD, but I also get easily overstimulated bh it. I started cleaning up my apartment (i share a tiny studio with my bf) every night - dishes, sweep the floors, clean the sink and counters, clothes to the wardrobe and prep everything for the next day. I do a little bit of stretching and we have a pure red lighg lamp. I also listen to bineural beast before going to sleep, it makes me nice and drousy. I have been sleeping like a baby for the past 2 weeks and my focus has been quite good (for an ADHDer). I hope you will see the good results too and it will bring a bit of tranquility to your day😁

what red lamp do you use? looking to implement a similar routine

Your vulnerability and honesty is refreshing and I always love coming to your channel when I’m feeling out of sorts. Somehow your voice soothes my troubles and your humor always brings a smile. I’m so sorry to hear about your recent losses.. and I hope the rest of the year treats you better

I'm really feeling for you, Ellbat. Last year was not kind to me, and knowing life has gotten hard for you too hurts my heart. I don't know you, but you seem like such a kind and warm human, so I'm sending you so much love. It does take time to heal, but slowly, things will get better. xx

2023 was also probably the worst year of my life. And I'm still reeling and healing from it. I hate seeing you sad, and I so wish I could help or comfort. Just know you're loved and appreciated. From one spoonie to another, I'm very proud of you.

I remember when you got atlas as a kitten, i cant believe hes gone. Im so sorry ml, losing a pet is so hard. Rip atlas ❤

I am so sorry you’ve had an incredibly hard time lately. I understand your pain and really appreciate your efforts to post for us! Take time for yourself, take all the time you need. Much love ❤️

I’m so sorry about your past few months! We love you, take your time ❤

So sorry for your loss you are an amazing person and I hope it gets better for you soon take care 😢😢😢

Happiest of New Years to you, EB. Hope you had a wonderful festive break. EDIT Oh dang, just got a few more minutes into the video. I'm sorry. Hope you're doing as well as you can be. That's a lot of bad in a short time. My endless, infinite hugs and support to you, EB ❤️

Your morning routine video changed my life! I use it every day except the waking up at 6 part

Sending so much love. This was a great video - even though it was only one night, you managed to show the routine and its effects in a very effective way. Hope it works out for you in the long term! For me, it was a good reminder to slow down and enjoy time before bed so thank you

Sorry to hear about everything you've been going through. Well done for pushing through it and thank you for continuing to help people and make content for us.

Praying for you. I’m sorry you are having a hard time. Great video. Thank you for making the time and taking the energy to make it for us.

I'm so sorry you went through all that. Sending you tons of love and resilience, and hoping for a better year. ❤

I’m sorry for your loss, I hope everything get’s better for you. Thank you for the video. I struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep so I’m always looking for guidance.

I'm so sorry for all you've been through lately. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness. Sending love!

One big thing that gets overlooked in self made sleep studies is that the point is to train your brain to get tired when you go to bed. Not go to bed when you get tired. Like Pavlov’s dogs you want the trigger to sleepiness to be laying down in bed and that’s really really hard to do quickly. Also usually people who stay up late tend to fill that late night time with stuff that makes them happy or especially productive so they are rewarding themselves for procrastinating on going to sleep every night

Totally true! But sometimes, when you have a really busy day bc of work or studies, usually night is the only moment when you actually have time to do things that you enjoy. That's what happened with me bc I was studying from 8 am to 8pm, coming back at home at 9:30 and I took the habit of doing nice things very late. But your point is very interesting. It makes me realize that now that I'm not that busy I should try to change this habit 😊

you have been incredibly helpful with your videos for so many of us. your humor is pure and genuine. I truly believe you are a wonderful human being. thanks for all the laughs, you really deserve the best. better times will find you, but in the meantime do not ever lose your light. love you

I'm sooo sorry about your chaotic last couple of months, and I especially feel so much love and compassion for you while you are grieving your sweet cat. I also have ME/CFS, and my cat is my main company a lot of the time. She is so bonded with me and sleeps and naps with me whenever I lie down. I can imagine the pain and loss you must be going through. Also, meltdowns (and clumsy moments!) are often a part of my chronic illness experience as well, especially when I am in a flare. The meltdown / PEM after physical activities like changing sheets is REAL, so I felt you when you had your little moments of meltdowns. I hope the renewed sleep quality helps you have more better days and less painful days (emotionally and physically). Sending hugs.

so sorry for your loss and i have so much empathy for your recent life upheaval. i am confident these big sorrows and challenges will lead you to future strength.

Really hope you're ok, take care of yourself. Sending you lots of love and thank you for being so open and vulnerable. You've inspired me to clean my room and re-ipmplent a routine. I'm so sorry for your loss ❤

So happy to see a new video from you, but so sorry to hear about all the rough stuff that's been thrown at you. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us, and I hope the rest of the year treats you much more kindly.

Your account has given me reassurance in my worst times. To have your voice give me comfort to even sometimes function back when I was completing my alevels. I hope through sharing this you know how much we all care and are here for you. Sending love

Bless you for being so vulnerable and real in this video. My heart goes out to you - take care of yourself. You got this 💜

I’m so sorry you are going through this! But thank you for sharing. January is always hard for me. Sending you love! ❤❤❤

I'm so sorry for everything you've been to so here's to a better January. I've only discovered your videos this month but have been binging them nonstop as you inspire me. Thanks to your exercise video I'm trying to do yoga more often now and doing things such as reading to help my ADHD brain. Here's a a happier healthier year for everyone

Thank you for this video. I'm having my own struggles so watching you made me feel less alone and gave me space to feel sad and reminded me that there is hope and things will change. Thank you!

i think about your morning routine video on a regular basis, and when i wake up feeling groggy or unmotivated i actively start doing all the things you did. was such a helpful watch, keen for this one!

It’s currently almost 2am, so I definitely needed this. I suddenly thought of you and wondered how you’ve been, since I haven’t watched your videos in months. And I’m so, so sorry about everything you’ve been through, and I’m sorry about your loss. I understand how painful and soul crushing it is. You don’t need to rush back to youtube. We can wait for you. As long as you need us to. Please take care of yourself, so when you do come back, you come back stronger and happier. We love you ❤ (also, you deserve a round of applause for the time and research you put into this video. I can imagine how hard it was after experiencing so much)

girl i am so sorry ab everything that's been happening lately, you are so strong and still putting out amazing content as always is so impressive i hope this year treats you well you deserve it

yay, new ellbat vid. I hope your life is taking a turn for the better now ell I really love your videos. Rest in peace Atlas.

Thank you so much for posting such high quality content. It's rare to find these days. And in all honesty I was surprised you didn't do what everyone else did which was to start producing more content but make a cut in quality to make it happen. I have been watching your content for years so I know you have stayed true to yourself and have continued to post excellent and entertaining content. I love watching your videos so much.

Thank you Ellbat for sharing your struggle❤

watching your videos is my perfect nighttime routine, thank you for making them even when life is hard ❤

It's so nice to see your face on KZread again Ellbat! I appreciate and value all your work and hope life treats you kindly as this year goes on.

It took a few days for me to get to this video, and I'm glad I finally watched it. I just want to send you so much love for what you've been holding the last few months. It's a lot. Thank you for putting this out, as well, because I have a life long struggle with sleep, and I know that some of this works, it's just about using the tools at hand.

I’ve been so worried love, it’s good to see you and I’m so sorry about the loss you’re enduring. All my heart goes out to you and I hope healing can start soon for you, you deserve it❤️

so sorry about your cat, I'm still sad from loosing my cat almost 1 year ago. It gets easier but I still miss her.

Your voice is so soothing!

Aww, sounds like you’ve had it rough. Great video. I’m glad that you’ve found a great outlet here. Your viewers really seem to connect with you. Keep up the good week.

I enjoyed tis vid a lot, also so sorry for your loss I dont know how hard that can be I couldn't imagine sending love

I'm so sorry about how the last few months have been. I also recently got out of an over 5 year long relationship. so sorry for your losses. you're so strong despite what you're going through, and we're so happy you're here ❤

I am sorry for your loss! 😢 I really appreciate you sharing this with us. You are so strong and capable 🙏🏽 it gets better

So sorry to hear about everything you've gone through recently. Hope you continue to heal at your own pace. Take care of yourself

This was such a soft and comfy video right from the start. I'm so sorry for your loss, take your time navigating grief. And thank you for sharing your vulnerability. I remember the morning routine video and I still do some of it everyday now! Maybe it's time to try some of the nighttime routine as well. 👀

Sorry to hear of ur bad couple of months. Sending u big hugs and remember u will get there and things will get better. I've had a few naff months and starting to get to the other side. Take every day as it comes and make attainable tasks for the day. I've got into a bad bedtime routine, watching this has made me think I need to sort it out to x

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry for your loss and all the other hard things. I feel like the end of last year and beginning of this year wanted to kick all of our butts. Let's hope that life will get lighter and more enjoyable again. Thanks for sharing! Seems like the self care gurus had it right. Being kind to yourself, taking care of your well-being and your surroundings does help.

sending you positive energy. Please take care of yourself. its was lovely to see your video!

i've been putting off doing my laundry and cleaning my bed sheets for so long and this video gave me some motivation so i will surely try to do those tonight :)

i wish i could give you a hug

Always found your content very comforting and real! Hope life is kinder to you soon, till then lots of love and strength to you ❤

Really sorry you had a few pretty very shit months! It’s good to do a bit of self care when you’re a mess. It really helps. Sending love and hope you are able to heal from all of this rubbish❤❤

Yep im a struggling ASD and ADHDer. Not sleeping great so this is helpful, thank you. I'm sending positive vibes youre way, we can do this!! xx

The sheet changing breakdown is so real, its a guaranteed way to make me cry lol

sending so much love and hugs to you ell ❤

My life completely changed last year and I found myself at a crossroads I wasn’t expecting, so I understand not wanting to create as well. Thank you for sharing this 😊

Thanks for the routine. I'm going to try some of these tips out 😊

Thank you for this video ♡ I've been struggling too the past months, and getting to bed has been such a hurdle (I'm with you on that 4AM schedule :'D) but this looks like a really nice & healthy routine, that's also doable. Hope it helps you sleeping & that you find contentment/happiness again soon.

Sending you soooooo much love 🥺

I was heartbroken to hear what you've been through. Good on you for continuing to better yourself. That's the best thing you can do after life throws events like that at you

Proud of you to do something that is both entertaining for us but mostly good for you, you cared for yourself and that's good, I really hope you'll feel better soon

I'm so sorry to hear you had so much trouble at the end of last year/start of this year. Sending you lots of hugs and love

Oh Elle, I'm so sorry 🥺 I've had times like that in life too, where it just feels like one bad thing after another an as if life is just beating you down. Just keep pushing through and you'll be on the other side of it and onto happier days💗 Sending you so much love and good vibes your way💕✨

crazy finding out this is already my routine!! ps i really enjoyed the video andd im very excited for your next one :D

I wish you’ve done through a week bc this video is just a big self care part of the day and after all the bad things you went through, I think it’d been good for you ❤️ stay strong

Thank you for this video, i was lying in bed knowing i couldnt go to sleep until i took of my makeup and made my bed but then i started watching this and you motivated me to get up and get ready for bed. Tysm ❤❤❤

Sorry to hear about all you’re going through! Thank you for the really helpful and interesting video! And I love Copilot by the way - I started with them after I saw your video about them!

I'm so sorry you went through all that. Even just the elements of what happened on their own would throw me for a loop. I hope things start to look up for you and just remember to take time for yourself.

Your vulnerability is very admirable ❤

Thank you for your honesty darling, that takes courage. I’m proud of you and I hope you’ll feel better soon, just let life do it’s thing, it will figure itself out. Thank you, I love you.

Hope things start looking up. Sending you good vibes. I lost my dog of 13 years a couple months ago and it is truly more devastating than we can prepare for, so I understand your pain and I truly hope it gets easier with each day

Im a little late to watching this video, but i wanted to still comment to let you know that i am so sorry for your losses. That's so much change in one month, and I feel for you. The grief over the loss of Atlas will soften over time. Please be kind to yourself while you grieve. Sending you so much love and support from NJ. Xoxo

May God bless you, and I’m praying for your healing.

Ive been diagnosed wirh depression since january 1. in struggling too, its kinda comforting seeing that not only my life changed to the worse. Not that i wish that for anyone. Life can be hard sometimes, knowing im not alone helps.

*hug* ❤ thank you for making such an informative video in spite of the struggles you're facing. I'm looking forward to learning more about the book

I’m so sorry that you’re going through such difficult times. I really hope life becomes brighter for you soon.

I’m so sorry for your loss😫

Ell I am so sorry you hit such a rough patch. I hope you have the support network you need to pull through. Just looking at all of the content you've done while also balancing school shows that you will definitely pull through but all the same I hope you have that cushion to prop you up till you are properly on your own feet again. And thank you very much for the content. Yes this is your job but all the same you are a highlight of the day when a video drops and if nothing else please never forget that you make others happy with your presence and insight and while your happiness should always take priority hopefully knowing you mean alot to others will help you get on the road to recover faster. Kisses to your mother

The fact that you put up content despite everything you've been through is crazy! But thank you

So sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear about everything you’ve been going through🥺💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you for this video and for explaining the science behind each thing. I am starting a very high-stress career and this has given me invaluable information to go in the right direction of implementing things to combat the stress of the career.

This video gave me the final push I needed to start cleaning my room. Thank you so much for that

Sending so much love 💚

my condolences for your loss. It is never easy losing one of our fur kids. I hope you recover from the loss soon. Take care of yourself and I offer you my best wishes.
