Peter's Content-Free Podcast: Episode 19 

Peter has blessed us with the gift of relaxation once again

Peter i had the same problem all the time- i just could not wake up before 11 or 12 in the afternoon and I kept going to sleep from 2am to 5am and i hated it. But last year i started waking up at 6am everyday and its the best thing I've ever done, i have time to have a big breakfast, shower, get dressed nicely, do some drawing watch some videos and more all before school and weekends too!. Unfortunately i kind of got out of the swing of it over Christmas, but to go to sleep i put my phone, ipad etc away, dim my light (a staw hat over my lamp) and i lie in bed and read or sew, i try not to listen to music or watch videos while i do this so my brain relaxes and realises its tired. I also started last year when i was struggling to sleep i started reading oscar Wilde "the ballad of reading gaol" Its a great poem but very very very long. I also realised I couldn't sleep if I hadn't burned enough energy that day- so i started going on more walks during the day.

first episode of 2019 is episode 19 hell yeah

Sweet, love these podcasts. I think I'm the first one here!? Also, I am probably the worst of anyone alive at waking up early. I missed so many 8am classes... even though I'd hear my alarm, I would subconsciously turn it off like I had no reason to wake up at such an early time. Resolution: Art more. I love drawing and arting, but I am guilty of not putting in enough time into it. I also would like to try other media like watercolor, acrylic, digital, etc.

When falling asleep while listening i dont remember the context but peter said somthing about setting his alarm and i was like oh crap i need to set mine so thank you peter for saving me

Episode 19 already.. this is the first of your podcasts i'm listening to. I really like that its content free, I've always loved that you talked about the most random things in your art videos, these are hour long podcast of your weird stories, amazing, thank you :D

Dont feel too bad about having content in this, just listening to you talk about whatever you feel like talking is the most relaxing for me! helps me when my friends are just abit too stressful to talk to so I just want to be a silent listener.

my new years resolution is to watch more peter videos, need some more of your calming energy in my life

If you want to sleep at midnight, maybe don't have a cup of coffee a couple hours before.

Peter: I'm going get some regular sleep for sure. Morgan Freeman's voice: But Peter's brain had other ideas, in fact, Peter's brain was going to remind him of that embarrassing thing that happened in third grade and wonder what flavour ARE those white fruit pastilles.

You inspire me so much I've had a bit of a down in creativity lately and you're curing that thank you

Laying awake is the perfect time for meditation. Sleep when you are sleepy, and don't try to sleep when you are not sleepy. I love your monologue and your drawings. I try to draw like you, but it doesn't come easy.

I appreciate this podcast so much. I have trouble getting my homework done, just becaude I am obsessed with listening to podcasts and having a constant stream of information coming into my ears. I think it is more about having someone talking to me. But this is amazing because its just ramblings. No one expects me to listen or answer, and Im not tempted to engage my mind in what he is saying instead if focusing on my work. And when I do want to tune my mind into what he is saying, it is enjoyable! I wish he would make these more often :') they are so helpful and I listen to them over and over again.

“Can you hold my coffee please? My hand is stuck in my jacket” 😂

I feel blessed and relaxed

Peter I saw you in a dream today :D I was your guest and you were teling me stories. Like a podcast live concert

Kudos to you man for being able to have a monologue for over an hour. Jam packed with lots of content! Keep it up Peter.

Thank you Peter, for always inspiring me to create. You're the best

I listen to this with my 8 y.o. and 5 y.o. boys sometimes before they go to school (3rd grade and kindergarten kids). Kind of like the podcasts I listen to. You are so inspiring for all of us. I am usually up at 6 am, good luck with your sleep schedule. And your existential crisis of body and mind.

Very cool Peter

I started a dream journal so that got me excited to go to sleep and dream. Also I doodle in my head as I’m falling asleep so I’m dream doodling!

Hey Peter, keep a set of mantra beads. I recommend creating your own mantras for these. When you can't sleep at night, get up and start using the beads and mantras. Get up out of bed as many times as it takes. You will find peace and rest.

this was nice to listen and watch out of the corner of my eye while doing homework :)

i wish i had time to watch this right now. thanks in advance

Love the art 💛

Peter, your voice is so relaxing. Never change.

I have watched you for a few years now, and you do have a very distinct style. Are you actively aware of the devices or machines or shapes that inspire your work? Also, I enjoy your somewhat rambling dialog. You sound quite free of negative self-judgement. It's refreshing!

this is the only podcast i listen to, the rest just can’t beat this

Sooo happy! Will look forward to this all day. I hope I don't cave and have to watch it. But whtvr cuz I'll prob have to watch it 10 more times anyway. We just had winter solstice..the creative types will struggle to regain balance. Relax about it. Stop trying to shove your triangle self into a square. It's not for you. You help us all sleep Peter, what helps YOU sleep? Do that. Consider decaf. Thank you!

Thank god, I’ve been needing a new content free podcast, please do these more frequently

Thank you Peter!

If you get a chance, (and if you want to be a coffee snob) try a Chemex pour over. Best coffee and there's no metal or unnatural ingredients involved in the simple design. Super easy to clean too!

its 2021 now, thanks peter.

I’ve heard that people who follow those ridged sleep schedules are able to enter REM much quicker than those who don’t. They don’t really spend a lot of time trying to fall asleep, they just go to sleep. Also, those sleep schedules can be really dangerous because once your 20 minutes are coming, there’s really no fighting the sleep. You don’t fall asleep instantaneously, but I’ve heard it’s close to it.

Naps. My shifts change every two days and the pursuit of sleep is a constant thing. Naps have helped me stay sane. Even just lying down in a darkened room for 20 minutes makes a difference to me.

It’s February 23 2021, I traveled back in time to catch this. ❤️🖖

Not everyplace has this - but if you Google the establishment it will show how busy it is based on cell phones in the store. Also if you make a habit of buying a burrito, they will start making an extra one just for you. Places like that love their regulars.

always excited for a peter video, even if it comes out 10pm at night 👍

I cant think of another youtuber I'd be fully engaged listening to how they trim their toenails. 💗

I totally get you on that feeling that you get on the throat when running on a cold place, it's really annoying. Also when the air comes at you and you breathe too deep and it's like too much air comming in, your nose and everything feels like burning, but sometimes you get used to it and it's not that bad, specially at night cause I really love running and watching all those night lights of the city

Was just thinking the other day it had been awhile. Time to get some tea and relax for a bit.

talking about how people frown on red bull “i’ve got news for you- we’re all dyin’!” i love you, peter

As a 7th grader who is in PE ik very well about that aching in the back of your throat while running in the cold. That "warm up lap" sucks

43:41 Only every time I watch you draw lol its good incentive though!

there's just so much more to waking up and feeling incredible.... I have enough sleep (most of the time) but I alway get up feeling mushy and unmotivated etc....so I kind of have to force myself getting up. But if I start a good (for me) morning routne, I'l feel quite good and energyzed in about 1-3 hours....depends. And then I am usually fit for the day, with an afternoon nap of 20 min. Also, boosting my iron and having a real vacation for more than 4 days helped getting in a good shape again XD Just keep looking, you'll find your thing, that works for you. And I am a big fan of going with your own bilogical clock......I know doing that is a luxury, but if you can affort to have it...do it :)

the gloves idea is really good and kind of you peter

Never realized how possibly necessary it may be for me to put a wish lawyer on retainer. Thanks for your insight into the important things, Peter

The fruit fly eggs are on the peel. Dr. Tip: rinse your bananas right when you get them and you won't have flies. Also as someone who plays a doctor, I must say you tried your best for a sleeping schedule, but some people have different circadian rhythm. I recommend sleeping in 90 minute increments. You can combine them if you want, but if you sleep for any amount of time that can be evenly divided by 90 minutes you will be very happy when you wake up. Trust me! At least try it once.

The "I'm not homeless" made me immediately mess up the line I was drawing with unexpected laughter pfffff. Very convincing Derek. In other news, I sleep 40 hours at a time, then stay awake for 30 or so... sleep professionals were just like, well, that's just how u are no changing it good luck.

Peter how's the chai bob coming along? Keep it up Peter and love from Liverpool

Thank you

All your videos are awesome

What sketchbook are you using in this?

I just love it

I think those CDs were a code word for something else.

Love your Channel! My dude! Maybe if you start keeping a dream journal and practicing remembering your dreams you might find that sleeping has more utility? Specifically, you might gain access to the wealth of highly personal internal symbolism that you can draw on for your art... not that creativity is a problem for you! Peace and love!

I wish these were on the podcast app or something, I just like listening to you ramble, Peter, even if i don't see the art :)

Peter ive been loving these thumbnails lately!! very very nice

To set your internal clock you should get a couple hours of sun light, which is hard when you work from home. Also try to exercise more. Good luck peter.

I feel like when you said we dont ask people "How are you improving yourself?" only in regards to new year's resolutions. That, that in itself could be a good new year's resolution, ask that more. Maybe, I dunno. Cool podcast anywho.

Amazing design ! Hey 19 !

Please don't mess with trains! We love you Peter!

I love it, you sound like Jimmy Stewart!

i love your voice, it feels so... familiar

hey peter, about the sugar free redbull, me and a friend of mine had to do an assignment on somthing and sice we are both quite fond of these drinks we decided to do it on energydrinks, our conclusion was that one energydrink a day is not damaging to adults at all and even have some positive effects (reduced chance on cancer for example) altough in cobination with to much coffee the ammount of cafeine and taurine in your body can rise beond a healthy amount and the risk of heartproblems enlarges by a whole lot, i suggest you google how much mg of caffeine you can consume a day based on your bodyweight (i forgot the exact numbers) and regulate your energydrink/coffeconsumption based on that. sorry for my grammar mistakes btw english isn't my native language, if you see some, please point them out (if there aren't to many) i can only learn from it, thanks for the awesome vids

18:25 somehow I found myself saying out loud: "vodka, he must've been drinking vodka"

*in English accent *You ever been so stoned while listening to Peter ... it's so soothing .... peter is like the Bob Ross of pen drawings!!. Hopefully that made sense 🤨🤔......🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😌👍 (P.s. I am too high) (P.s.s Can't stop laughing at myself right now😂😂)

Great video peter :))))

what video did peter do a coffee montage in?

Peter this is not a definitive answer, but I do have an educated guess on why that guy was asking for money. From what I know from my dad (he was a drug addict for 13 years) is that he would do anything to be able to get money for his addiction. People in these situations tend to think that they can get more money from you by hanging out with you. It comes from a long addiction that they find the best ways to do it. They make you think that they are good people by being nice, and talking about life, hanging out etc. This isn't always the case but I do have experience from my dad trying to do it with me and after I've given him money one time, I followed him and all he did was go to a guy at his house, come out with his hands in his hoodie pockets, and then go sleep at another friends house for hours. Never did what he said he would.

If you are surrounded by artificial light and/or drinking coffee on the regular like most humans, don’t count on regular sleep. In my experience, getting up early, getting some decent exercise, and not staring into a phone until 3am, will make a huge difference. Otherwise, sleep when you’re tired.

yeah...thats common with people who dont work out enough. insomnia, tired after enough sleep, laying there not sleeping etc. You need to do more, move more, get your body a reason to sleep/

in danish fruit flies is called "banana flies" I think its kinda funny. thanks for sharing your thoughts and art.

Please do these more often I’ve watched all 19 episodes like 10x each

woo, finally!

I agree with you about the coffee. Here we have Tim Horton's and I think they put crack in it. Everybody is addicted to it, so I don't drink it. MacDonalds is better, and I try to like Starbucks, but I find it a little bitter. Even if I make it at home. I like Kicking Horse, the coffee beans, I dont recommend kicking horses.

I like the McDonalds cookie spiced latte but they didn't have it on the menu this year :(

the little circle mark from the post it note video is still there

If you look up a business on Google, on the right where it tells you the phone number and whether it's open, etc, it should tell you on average how busy it is at any given hour

Peter... maybe you aren't getting enough rem sleep. Not sure what could be disrupting it. It also could be an imbalance of vitamins. Lack of vitamin D, Iron, and B will make you feel sluggish. Just a thought. I hope you work this out and feel better soon. As for the coffee I agree.. love McD's coffee. Keep up the amazing art!

Peter lives in a town that is way different than my town. All the coffee places here are open by 6:00, most of them 5:00. Perhaps Peter lives in a relaxing place.

Counter culture coffee is pretty fancy stuff. If counter culture coffee was a beer it would be a craft beer.

Okay, I know, 2 years later, but has Peter discovered yet the part of Google search response for retail stores, restaurants and cafés that shows a little chart for the days and hours that each business is most busy and least busy?

Today i'm just listening to the vídeo while i play an mmo rpg, some other day i wil wacth the video at all. This videos can be used in many ways

Anybody else crying about being back to school

Hi peter, Have you ever tried the podcast S-Town? Its somewhat popular, I believe, or it was at one point. Its an interesting real-life story about a really unique dude. Its one of the very few podcasts I ever finished. Just thought it might be the kind of thing you'd like. Thank you for another podcast and this really nice drawing. Hope you're having a good day.

In australia I feel like gas station coffee is better than Mccafe (McDonald's) coffee

2:48 ...are we our body? No. It is in our conscious awareness where we reside. That part of us that can observe our thoughts. We are not our thoughts; we have thoughts. We are not our body; we have a body, a bit like we have shoes, or a house, except that we operate, and express ourselves through our bodies in this sensory experience soo much that it may seem that we are our bodies...but we are more than that...much more : )

i find sometimes the body needs a completely crazy thing in order to reset your internal clock ... whats the word ... oh yeah Nap . THATS IT you need a nap just 20 minutes i promise you will feel it and dont set an alarm or anything just if you notice that if you are even the slightest sleepy in the middle of the day just take even a 2 minute nap but 20 is reccomended and it totally messes with your sleep cycle and your body says hey what are you trying to do to me im suppose to go to sleep at 11pm not 5pm and or if you have the problem i had where i wasnt waking up in time for things so i started going to bed earlier and earlier and earlier and for that i had to set an alarm but it worked eventually i got up earlier and earlier and then i traveled and it felt like i hadnt traveled at all and when i got back i started going to bed later and later just to reset my time schedual

'you peel the egg' xD

u Kno when I was 12 i resolved not to eat dressing on my salad and that one lasted for like, 8 years, but mostly bc I stopped liking or eating salad. when I started letting myself put dressing on my salads again, I started eating salad again.

Peter, you can get your podcasts on Spotify for free with Soundrop.com. Its all free unless you want to upload a cover of a song. You can choose where you want the podcast published.

watching this in march 2019 thank you for this it was a very needed relaxing video, i doodled along with you. thank you. love from super sunny greece. i wish i had a breakfast burrito right now...

Your podcast is one I actively wait for. You’re so interesting and I really enjoy listening to your tangents. I think you have a lot to say, and I feel like you’re the type of person that’s worth listening to. You have a very unique and charming energy, and I think that if we knew each other, we could be close friends.

Long term habits are not built in just a month. Depending on the difficulty of the habit, it could take several months to fully adjust. Be patient and sleep well!

and here I am, in 2021! powered through January 2019 and January 2020 and January 2021!

If you're tired often, try to cut your sugar intake. Helped for me

The Gods have spoken :]

I love French press Coffee and milk froth👌🏼

I love your new fancy thumbnails.
