as an addict myself, listening to your advice from the perspective of food addiction is such a great help, thank you for this video!
That, being over tired, is when my cravings come back even after no carbs for over 2 years.
Thank you for not being perfect Dr Cywes, it means you can relate.
Thank you so much for this. After spending a wonderful hour with you this morning, I would never have known you had a poor night's sleep. You were so empathetic and connected that I experienced healing in your presence. So now, take care of YOU. I send gratitude and prayer for your restoration throughout the rest of this day and night. Thank you for all you do so unselfishly for others; feel the gratitude and love coming back to you from those whose lives you touch. Look in the mirror and feel pride and satisfaction for the gift you give others. Now, go process and restore.
Great talk on how sleep affects mental health. Worked overnight for 20 years and only averaged 2-3 hours sleep. The toll it took on my health has taken years to overcome. I finally am learning to sleep through the night
"not dealing with your shit in the evening".... true words.....issues of the modern world. We are all in this journey with you. Nice to see medical/scientific mind that can relate to us all.
I watch AMSR videos before bed like shoeshines and tukish barber massages. Not kidding.
HALT! Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired
❤️ I really needed this - thank you! This should be renamed “why am I so hungry at night?”
Breakfast is my main meal of the day ..I get up every morning at 3.00am but do go to bed at around 8.00 pm comes from starting work at 4.30am for the last 35 years.
Truth, trying desperately to deal with all my stuff and not take it to bed with me.
“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,”
Ephesians 4:26 ESV
Same here
I've always had trouble sleeping, I suffered a lot of childhood trauma. It probably links with my eating probs, I love the work and the way you present it to us, excellent doc 👍
I completely agree. If I don’t sleep well or enough I definitely eat more.
When I turned 60 I got three S's out of my life: Sugar, Starches, and Statins. Then 3 years later I retired which mostly reduced the fourth S: Stress. But I haven't been sleeping as well the past few days and I had a breakfast the other day - also not part of my routine - and for the same reason Dr. Cywes did. I think I need a new rule: get away from the computer after 6:00 pm and read instead.
Great comment. Tx
Watch a Cywes video
Wondering how you're doing now. If you're female sometimes you need to add carbs back , some carbs in order to sleep better
Oh my. So much truth! I get so upset over things during the day and they follow me right to bed. I toss and turn all night hoping to go to sleep. I definitely need to work on letting things go. I can't control what others do, but I can work on controlling how I respond.
I had a hand full of strawberries on Sunday for this very reason... I was tired and needed some drugs... ended up fighting cravings all day and the following day too. IF I get 6.5 hours of sleep I'm good 6 or under I'm fighting dragons all day long...
That is the truth! If I sleep poorly, I am irritable and make poor food choices sometimes.
I don’t agree that watching TV does not allow the brain to relax. Many people zone out completely during it. It’s their way to zone out.
Numbing not processing
The TV in the evening is mainly white noise for my husband. Lulls him to sleep.
Dr. Cywes- THANK YOU!
brilliant- helpful - life enhancing.. as always!
May God bless you & your beautiful family always. 🙏
The main thing that buggers up sleep... coffee. Only drink 2 cups before breakfast. After that...water. 2 cups of tea in afternoon. You will sleep. Older people don't make enough melatonin.
You are spot on!
My doctor warned me that my blood work was indicative of not taking the time for me. A year later I was laid off, then I ended up with plenty of time to process things and spend time with those I love.
Perfect timing. Had an difficult emotional event and went for a piece of dark chocolate an hour before I saw this video.
For those who are willing, this is a good incentive for meditation and prayer at the end of the day.
Thank you, I realize what's going on. I'm 76 and waking around 3 to 5 sweaty is the keto.
I can tell you guys, that if I knew then (20* years ago) what I know today about not sleeping enough for a few years, I would have cut some of my work and slept more!! Lack of sleep over a long period of time reduces your ability to judge important situations and decisions to the point that you are actually mentally incapable of thinking straight!!! Believe me, when I am thinking about all the problems it created for me then, I knew I was seriously mentally reduced! It's scary!! So please, all you people out there, listen carefully to what is said in this video, it can save you from doing seriously bad things!!
Another excellent video. "Emotional hoarding." So true!
There is NOTHING so important in life to deny necessary sleep . . . it is essential to Health. So many individuals DO-DO-DO to feel important. It's sad and detrimental to everyone around them. Get your rest. Above all else, get your rest.
Thankful in Florida ❤️ you made this one just for me!
Spreading yourself to thin...
I love going out to the veg garden, watering, playing & relaxing when it’s cooler in the day after dinner
I love this idea!
@@KismetWLS …😉 our secret!
Brilliant .... Thanks a Stack ..... Best to You and Yours from NZ .... Lekker Slaap ..... Cheers .... Keith
Thanks Doc. I appreciate your videos.
I woke up many times a night until a few years ago I gave up gluten Now I sleep through the night or get up one time.!!!
Dr, you are Awesome.
Thank you for this reminder 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. I'm 69 and retired and have recently been experiencing sleeplessness - sometimes not sleeping at all. I'm going to try shutting my electronics down after dinner and going out for a walk, then just having that quiet, prayerful reflective time afterward. Thank you for always explaining in such "down to earth" lay terms how our bodies function. I have recently gotten back "on board" watching your videos and moving back toward keto/carnivore. Thanks for all of your teaching.
Thank you for this video today. I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight. :) I was nodding right along while listening. I am the caregiver to my disabled husband, he wakes me quite often to help him. Can't remember the last really good sleep. Often when he's dozing off and I have a moment to myself....it's when I raid the fridge and eat whatever. Stuffing down feelings/frustration/tiredness. Will be coming up with better alternatives.
YES, this helps! A year after you put this up, it’s helping me today. I decided a month ago to wean myself off my “go to sleep” combination of RX and OTC medications. It’s been going pretty well but the fear of relapse is always there as I get closer and closer to being free of these drugs. Today I will deal with what needs to be dealt with today and spend some time relaxing. My house is not on fire. I am a chronic list maker. I make the list and as I scratch off each item, I replace it with another task. It’s debilitating. Thank you Dr Cywes for another, very important piece to my carb addiction recovery.
Man you're videos are always full of such good info. You are quickly becoming my favorite person I listen to on the keto carnivore you know losing weight stuff since I'm doing plenty of research so I can try to get my life back into a healthy way
Lol, you just described ME! I must do better!
Commit time for intentional release and relaxation. Assign calm...get some rest...be well.
Dr. C...you have been hitting the nail on the head lately. This was very helpful and I hope you’re sleep improves!
Dr. Cywes always hits the nail on the head 😃
Me too!!
Thank you Sir !!
how anyone can give this video a thumbs down is beyond me,
Don't harass my trolls!!!
Holy Crap, you speak of the truth and reality in such a relatable manner. Thank you with all of my health and my admiration.
i learned last week a Mindfullness technique when you in the evening try to think about positive thing in your life (people, objects at home, anything) .. you basically think of them one by one and hold thought about each for some time and tried it one night when i realized i have too much wories in my head when trying to sleep ... and it worked nicely :)
Excellent
Count your blessings instead of sheep (by Irving Berlin). Rosemary Clooney sings it in White Christmas.
Timely as I just said no to a workplace that needed me to wake up at 3.30 am in order to be on site ready to go for a head contractor.
If you think that's bad on average, I would not get home till 6.30 pm. Then cook a meal and try to be asleep by 8.30 to 9.00 that night.
He wonders why he can't keep people. Thank you Big fella Doc. Aussie Jeff
Thinking about this time after dinner before bed....instead of “relaxing” in front of tv, I think for hubby & me, sitting around a fire might be the best for us! We’ve always enjoyed a campfire...going to set it up & enjoy it(our home is on a very small block of land, but I’m sure we can find a place somewhere to put an outside fire pit). Thankyou for this info! Neither of us have slept well for many years!
Man you hit the nail on the head doc...thank you so much
I have so much trouble getting a good nights sleep. Great advice. Thank You.
Hey Doc! So you are human after all 😀 thank you for sharing a personal experience. This evening I'll go for a walk and will see if I have a better sleep.
You don’t consider that breakfast a bridge like coffee? It’s not your routine but it got you through and you’re still sober
Yup but unplanned emotional eating. Not a crime but a wake up call
This is so perfectly timed for me. I've been doing low-carb eating for the last 10 years with varying degrees of success, but with each year, with each relapse, I learn something new about myself. Right now I'm in a good place, but I know that falling off the wagon is one trigger away. And right now I'm having to fight my demons with eating carbs because of lack of sleep and discomfort. I can feel it. I can name it. Now I just have to not succumb to it.
For me, this time I got a good case of poison ivy that is making me miserable. I don't want to take steroids for it (as I have the last two years) because I'm Type 2 diabetic, but I have my blood sugars in the non-diabetic range (a1c is 5.6 after being at 11.) I KNOW that my body craves sugar if I take steroids, so I want to avoid that. So, I'm trying to get good sleep. As absolutely, the carb snacking attacks me if I'm sleep deprived, but I feel the desire every moment of the day to eat carbs. It's my #1 cure for everything - until it isn't.
So, I'm going to try to get some good sleep despite the itching. If I need to nap because the antihistamine is making me drowsy, I will take a nap.
But I am allowing a bridge/crutch to help me through. I had a keto ice cream bar. I had twolow carb, high fat snacks today. Right now my goal is to just not give in to the carb craving in any way I can. Without the crutch, I would totally cave which could lead to months of binge eating junk. I'm not going to worry about the scale, but in staying away from carbs while I deal with this mental battle of being sleep-deprived and uncomfortable.
What a powerful message. Thank you, Dr. Cywes!!!
Been fighting this sleep fight for years, resulting in chronic pain and ultimately a panic attack. Big carbohydrate addiction because of pain and poor sleep. The penny finally dropped on the carb addiction. Same reasons for pain syndrome are the same reasons for carb addiction..poor emotional management system. So maybe that can help someone.
Good talk ! Thank You !!
Thanks Doc, for me it's the routine prior to bedtime and to be asleep by 2200 hrs. how many hours of quality of sleep always depends. Truly the start of your day depends on sleep.
I sleep on the hardwood floor with only a sleeping bag. Took a while to get used to, but I sleep less and VERY deep.
Why?
@@hair2050 When you sleep in a soft bed, your muscles have to tighten for support. On the floor, your skeleton is forced to support you, so your muscles get a chance to finally relax. It realigns your hips. You have room to move around and stretch. It's like a deep tissue massage that you give yourself all night long. It took me years to be able to comfortably sleep through the night, but now I can't sleep in a bed. Give it a try!
@@padregeo7503 interesting. I gave up on pillows several years ago and sleep on a firm bed, but going to zero cushion, that would be difficult. I can fall asleep on a floor so for a short time I can do it. Despite this I Can’t see you starting a new trend, religion or the like however. Spartan lifestyle not for most.
Do you sleep on your back?
I haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep at a time since i started carnivore. Before that I slept a full 8 hours. I just have so much energy that I can't calm down no matter what I try. I eat my last meal at 4pm and never have the need to snack. I'll keep trying an evening slow walk, reading and praying.
Thank you for this important message.
Great video! Could you do a video on how to get off sleeping pills?
So true that I fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion but its not restful and I'm up a few hours later
This made my day...in so many ways not just about sleep💕
Thank you so much for your suggestions on sleep. In my late 60s I have noticed I need less sleep, and there are times when I have a rather short restless night, but I don't fight it I just relax and let my mind go until it decides it's done and then I fall asleep and wake up refreshed even though I only got 4 hours.
I find it very beneficial when others (e.g. You and other doctors) openly share their own challenges - and how they overcome obstacles - we can all learn so much from each other. So thank you for “making this all about (yourself)” it’s very helpful to me. You are an excellent teacher and very empathetic.
"The work can wait." True words.
I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights. I think I need to bring back an evening meditation to wind down before bed. Thanks for explaining all of this!
Had my 1st telephone appointment with you Friday. It was fantastic to speak with you and get your help with my medical issues. Stay strong cause I want your brain to do what it does best!! And Thanks for this video!!!
🙂
So can one see him virtually or just by phone?? Because I don't live close enough.
I’m a Pisces Doc! Walk on that beach for me please! You know what I do to unwind when I crawl into bed after 10 hrs as an RN in a melanoma center? I watch your videos for support since I found your channel yesterday!!!!! Thanks!
Very helpful! I’ve been spending way too much time looking for external solutions to the problem when the solution is in me all along. I’ll definitely take your words to heart, starting tonight. I long for a really good solid night sleep.
I'm an organ procurement coordinator! Absolutely can vouch for the stress/bad sleep connection to the carb hunt. Cravings and insulin go hand-in-hand with lack of sleep. Get some rest Doc.
Used to work w MORE in Canada. Livers
Excellent video today! I love learning why the brain turns to food for its “quick fix” and what we can do about it. Very introspective 💖
As you mentioned those of us with addictive personalities do this from time to time .... I'm grateful you are defining it vs. blaming and shaming .... Push on McDuff
This video could not have come at a better time. Decided to go back to school to become RD and already dealing with the stress of online platform/tech issues. My sleep has not been good. Watched your video and went back to making time for myself again. Slept better. I am learning how important emotional management is as part of a complete healthy lifestyle. Thank you once again Dr. Cywes, for the education.
Thank you Dr. Cywes! Your videos are my favourite part of the day! I related so much to your chocolate comment! I needed that laugh
Thank you Dr Cywes, I needed this reminder! I've slept poorly for the last week and its all the things you mentioned!
I have recently been trying to get MORE sleep but in doing so I have less time to unwind. Now I’m thinking, take an extra hour or two and go for BETTER sleep. Previously I unwound by watching tv. Realize now that’s part of the problem, I’ll have to change that. Thanks.
Smart
I used to think that once I retired my busy, racing mind would find it easier to fall asleep. I wish I could say that it was no longer an issue. Sleep medicine is really in its infancy. I believe there is so much more we are still to learn about the complex hormones and our health. I just wish I had a switch to turn off the thoughts! Thanks for an honest message.
I hear you Doctor Cywes. I do best at sleep when I do not watch stressful TV right before bed. I did start watching “Walking Tours” on You Tube of beautiful places and that made for an excellent nights sleep. I do wear my blue light blocking glasses😎
THAKN YOU.
This was fabulous. Thank you.
After some effort I managed to change to a new job that is less stressful, doesn’t keep me working long hours and especially important, let’s me disconnect completely from work issues every day at 6pm and allows for zero work on weekends. It’s amazing how much my health improved once stress went down, I was able to unwind and do personal stuff in the afternoon and I also didn’t need to work right until the moment I would go to bed.
I have also found that when you have certain food intolerances like high histamine, that food can prevent you from sleeping. I’ve put this to the test over and over again. I wish I would learn!! lol
Thanks for this tip.
Thanks. I need time for me. The anxiety and anger I have during the day determines how I’ll sleep. I thought going to sleep would get rid of my problems. But then I can’t sleep. Now I understand.
This is 100% what I needed to hear today. I've felt like I haven't gotten rest in months and am constantly exhausted. After this 3 day weekend with just awful sleep I finally gave in on the melatonin 3mg tab last night and was still waking up hours early. Appreciate you arming me with the knowledge of how this works, now I can actually try and address it.
this was great!!! thanks
I get so much inspiration and knowledge from you, especially the critical need for emotional support/release practices. And you have a lucky dog😁.
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for that video. I needed to hear it, and it was really nice to hear your story, it’s so relatable to me.
Thank you so much for this info, really helps.
This makes a LOT of sense! Thanks, Doc!
Thank you!
Love this! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your day off!
Thanks doc
Since I started back to carnivore in January and we’ve been talking regularly I’ve been doing a lot better with not taking all the shit to bed with me and I’ve been having much better nights sleep. Thank you.
This is another amazing message 👍🏻🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this reminder! Just what I needed.
Thank you 😊
A walk, and then a nice, non hurried hot bath with blue tooth Michael sealey meditation ( or just a good book, or just presence), good smells like candle works WONDERS before bed. 😂❤
That is amazing information! I am going to try to work on this!
Great video
