Thank you! Excellent! So glad you were able to implement all of those changes. I’ll try the same. I think I need to stop caffeine, sugary drinks and candy etc. And not count my hours of sleep’ 😊

@@MarthaMyDear6 What really has the biggest impact for me is not worrying about my sleep. If I get about 4 or 5 hours of sleep that night so be it.. because I know the following night I will be able to get a goodnight sleep since I had a short one from the prior night. And yes caffeine moderation or stopping it at all would help a lot

Who is going to take care of patients during the night if there are not 11 pm to 7 am shifts?

OK

​@@annemccarron2281You are 😃

@@annemccarron2281 Yes, I am thinking of that, too. I wonder what ideas sleep scientists have. Not only nurses but policemen, guards, etc.

You can only sleep well when you have peace in your life. You also need to be in a blacked out room and have no sound. Silicon Ear plugs are actually very effective

I can sleep anywhere anytime. But it’s never enough.

​@Shaylas Thank you so much. Now I became hopeful after reading your story. I will do exactly what you did. My insomnia is devastating. Thank you for sharing these tips. ❤❤ Is there anything else (other than vt D) that also helped you to overcome insomnia?

​@@Stuart.Branson.What about people who are petrified of the dark and being in a dark quiet room causes you to have an anxiety attack. It's hard to sleep when your hearts pounding so loud you can hear it in your ears.

Ashwaganda helped for a short while then it turned more like a placebo ! I doubled the dose n nothing . Maybe I should change the brand .

Worrying about sleeping was the BIG one for me. Once you work through this, your sleep will become more consistent and you won't worry if it takes a bit longer to get to sleep on some of those evenings because of a heavy evening meal or some other reason that could affect your sleep. An active brain which has you thinking about important or emotional stuff is also a big negative. Ashwaghanda helped me get through this. It is not recommended to take this for an extended period of time, and some people will be affected more by this than others. Too much can become an issue. Do your research on potential side effects, and consider talking to your doctor about this. There are different methods used to extract the important ingredients and one type might work better for you than another. I tapered off after 3 months and was able to continue my sleep habits without the cortisol problem I initially had. Consider starting with a smaller than recommended dose to see how it affects you. I only needed 1/2 the recommended dose. During stressful times, I would add it back into my regimen for a short time again, eventually tapering off again. An additional supplement that helped me was a small amount of iodine. I believe it helped solidify my circadian rhythm and helped my system to better regulate body temperature. Definitely pass this through your doctor as well. Searches on iodine suggest that it should be taken with selenium. May God watch over you as you search for better sleep.

A trick that has helped me stop my thoughts from keeping my mind active while trying to sleep: Visualize a number, (any font, any color) pick it and stay with what you pick. Keep looking at it in your mind. If a thought begins to take your attention, go back to your number and gaze at it again. Usually your mind gets bored and you begin to fall asleep. Hope this helps 🙏

Never, all they care about is profits, not health.

@@nomoniker7917.... the governments better wake up to the fact that billions now are rejecting these swinging doors between pharma and our agencies, drug reps and Drs offices, drug commercials that say "tell your Dr about" something that sounds absolutely horrible, set to pretty pictures. Drugs that cause other diseases that you have to take other drugs for those diseases that cause.... And on and on.

That would never happen. They would lose to much money

​@nomoniker7917 I dunno. In the last video, he was praising the Rockefeller Foundation....

@@Wayniesgirl WHAT? I didn't see that😬 I didn't hear that one .... Are you kidding? Rockefeller Foundation RESET the Table...please look that up.

So sorry that you are going through this. Hope things improve soon and you feel better. ❤

ABSOLUTELY TRUE

Hello, are you there?

So sad that too few are. Spreading the truth doesn't even help, so seems?

Rotating shifts should be against the law. There is no way to compensate anyone for rotating shifts. Regular late tours are healthier than rotation.

@@Jean-ni6of Yeah, wasn't there an old saying, "early to bed & early to rise keeps you happy, healthy & wise". Then too, given our make up compared to good ol' wildlife, we are meant to be diurnal. Better than dying in a urinal, eh!

Thank You will give it a shot, I have Always had sleep problems for many many years.

Thanks a lot for your info. I normally don't have any issues with sleep(although I am in college and sometimes my sleep schedule gets disturbed too) but I will try to pass the information given by you to anyone who is suffering from the same.

@@inca3370 So true, you can stop traffic with neon colored paper. There’s nothing more urgent than hand delivered mail.

Why don't you listen to Dr Hyman's talk on migraines and avoid added sugar processed food etc

@@premilasureshkumar1387 Thank you, I will listen to the talk.

I too have grief,.. depression. I don't really sleep anymore,.. I go days without. Have you been able to sleep?

@@klanderkal no after 8 mths since my wife of 13 yrs passed on 8 1 23 :(.. almost got on ssri n didnt because of withdraws, took otc sleep aids to the point they didnt work - still forcing myself with just melatonin to get back to sleeping on my own again - sominex on bad nights, but tolerance builds quick, avg 3 - 5 hrs if lucky at least twice a week no sleep, aim for 10 hrs, body rest relaxed sleep is mostly my sleep, but refuse to take antidepressants n be hooked on pharma for life... lost weight since, 165 to 143 but think im better than last month, slowly

Drink chamomile tea after dinner, melatonin is draining and causes brain fog.

The training was probably to lessen the effects of sleep deprivation. Boxers train all day long to get hit. Doesnt mean the incoming punches do zero damage.

Dr. Hyman is simply saying sleep deprivation decreases your accuracy. If you can show me a study that says sleep deprivation has NO effect on accuracy, you have discovered a profoundly inaccurate study.

@marietamccune84 It has caffeine in it. Is it really worth it? Sleep is huge for your health.

I add aswaganda by pure encapsulations at night . It truly is very helpful. It is very calming and will help lower stress.I. The body 🙏🏻

Lux? Outside or in ? Please explain. ❤

can you explain more what is this and how it helps the brain

10,000 lux is the prescriptive brightness level of the light panel. We start using them for patients with SADD: Seasonal affective disorder aka Winter blues, back in the days... Now we have pretty good clinical results for treatment of insomnia, of course in addition to Dr Hyman's suggestions. My patients with OCD, ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety are able to get rid of psych meds with light therapy (and Mark's stuff) . I use them for prevention for Dementia and "zapping" the jet lag after international trips.

I agree. Take care of yourself. Sleep is important. It's a necessity, not necessarily a luxury.

i have severe insomnia and dependent on meds for it- i have had three nights once of n o sleep and started hearing things as if i was in a crowded room... it was not a choice to experience this and happened when my body was detoxing heavy metals.

Try ASMR rain sounds to clear your thoughts, it works.

I also drink valerian root tea, sleepy time tea, and chamomile tea every night. I also add melatonin when I’m really wired but I don’t like to. I exercise after my one meal a day so I think since it’s the first time my body has had anything at all, it gives me major energy and I’m up!!!!

I have histamine intolerance. You can avoid high histamine foods. Lists can be found with a google search. Famotidine helps. Anti histamine such as Reactin which is non drowsy helps. Some people can get tested to see if their system cannot metabolize histamine in foods or if they simply have an overload from the food they eat. Histamine release is part of the immune response so your gut may be leaky allowing the passage of undigested particles, bacteria, etc into your blood stream which your body sees as foreign and so the immune system goes into overdrive. Getting the gut microbiome healed and healthy is huge, but even some probiotics are high in histamine. Avoiding sugar, sugar substitutes, and gluten is very important as they harm the gut.

Grief imho

I think the only two options is to ask your neighbors to see if they could switch to ethernet or at least at night shut it off or moving somewhere where there is no wifi in close proximity. another thing to do is prayer, especially when you are anxious about something.

wear EM JEWELRY TO COUNTER THE EFFECTS

@@Converted2truth please recommend which jewellery... thanks...

@@donnysingh6389 I'm pretty sure she is joking

Don't keep electronics in your bedroom

Maybe check with your gynaecologist your hormone levels, could be your progesterone levels are lower than they used to be. Natural progesterone pills are available and they do wonders on women's sleep quality.

@@inefabilis12 thank you so much!

Absolutely Ditto for me!!! No matter what time I go to bed, I only sleep 3 hours straight: If I go to bed at 10PM, I wake up at 1AM If I go to sleep at 12AM, I automatically wake up at 3AM. This has been going on since I've been 40, just turned 60, but the curious thing is that I operate fine during the day with only 3 hours of sleep!!! I am never tired during the day even with a very active lifestyle!!!

@@claireoconor7986 Yes, same for me including the 40 age. I did triathlons in my 40's and 50's so I was exercising every morning for sometime hours and still didn't sleep through the night. I tried bioidentical progesterone which helped but the cost was over the moon and insurance would not pay for it.

Get a good check up. Chances are good that something is low: hormones, Vit D, Magnesium, etc. It’s not normal to be sleep deprived. Eventually your body wears out.

Try magnesium citrate or malate rather than magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide will make you poop!

Consider seeing an ethical functional MD or ND to evaluate your sensitivities and their impact on chronic health issues, including autoimmune conditions. It's not uncommon for autoimmunity to go into remission after healing the gut and balancing the microbiome. A holistic approach, including stress management, sleep, etc, is also important...

You should be able to get magnesium from food.

Magnesium biglycinate does not cause loose bowels.

I do too but i don’t want to depend on benzos…

Yes

@@randypond7499 not always the option

Welcome gain weight.😮

Just saying I have read apparently Propranranol can keep you from sleeping. I take it myself.

That happens to me on occasion. It depends on what I have eaten in the evening and if I ate too late. For me, I believe it is a sort of reaction to a certain food that I have trouble digesting that may be causing indigestion and inflammation at the cellular level. If I avoid eating after 6 pm and make my last food consumed my smaller meal, and if I eat " clean" ( no gluten, sugar, heavy carb load, etc) this fast heart beat upon waking does not happen. I also take anti inflammatory supplements like quercetin, magnesium, b12, b6, coQ10, digestive enzymes with my larger meals, vit C, etc.But what and when I eat plays a huge part in this for me.

Hi,.... are you able to get any sleep? I have depression, I suffer alot.

How did you get tested for that.?“ I “ also have had years & years of insomnia issues since I became an adult , I am Now 63.
