Sleep will come. But it may take 6 or 7 hours. In which case, it’s about time to wake up again.
True, i suffering from this too. I dont know what to do anymore ive tried everythin. If you know any effective pills please tell me Is it melatonin or something else
@@bilalsultan5771 nah bru same here
Is there any solution
@@Freedom4PalestineEndZioNazism I workout in the gym for 2 hours and many times even overexert my self even after that I can't sleep and my screen time is less than 2.5 hours
Gym and all others are great ideas, but if someone cannot sleep, it is not the same when helps for someone to the gym. I am awake many times for 38 hours, so reading books etc., is a great idea that doesn't make any sense to me.
No one tells you to diabetics just start creating insulin.
"We don't need pills to fall asleep" um sir who is we? 🤨 Some of us can literally stare at the ceiling for 12 hours, no cell phone, no tv, and no daily caffiene and wont fall asleep.
Fr melatonin wrks
Why exactly it's happening to mee
Eat pistachios before bed you’ll knock out
Oh my!! this is happening to me for about 4 weeks now. :(
Its also happens to me 😢
Sleep will come yes. Just two hours before you have to wake up for work. As a sleep specialist i expect you to know its not that simple
You can tell he has never had a problem getting to sleep ,only someone who gets a good night's sleep all of the time would come out with something like that, it's 3.30 am as I'm writing this.
Lol. Its 5am here now a d i have to get up for work now. Guess i sleep at my desk.
why the fuck do you think you get bad sleep? youre on your phone at 3am. Fix your lifestyle before complaining like a wuss.
I’m seeing this at 4 12 lol
For 35 years I've been struggling with falling asleep, but this video solved it. I can't believe the solution to my problems was as simple as turning the lights off! This is the greatest life hack since closing my eyes and laying down.
Lol lol
I had great sleep when I was teenager and living with parents then I got out for studying in another city there I met some careless people always light on I was like do it.
I'm in too much pain to sleep. What am I supposed to do??
@staceyvirgo1950 see a doctor 💀
If u can't sleep get a job
This is like a therapists saying “just don’t be depressed” 💀
Or that one chick if your homeless why not buy a house?
😂 right ?!! Wtf is he really that unaware how the other half lives … I guess so. He’s asleep while we’re staring in the darkness 😂
Frfd
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Does he have insomnia or is he just a specialist for insomnia. That’s what I want to know.
Sleep specialist my ass. I find it hard to believe a sleep specialist wouldn’t have insomniacs in mind
😂😂😂 I laughed soo hard after reading this !!
It's easy for him to say
If no insomniacs he won’t have clients 😅😅😅
th-cam.com/video/ztnZaqUERLk/w-d-xo.html
Eat banana and pistachio nuts that’s got melatonin in it xxx
Did anyone want to reach through the screen to punch him
Yeah tell that to someone detoxing off cannibis or alcohol
Bruh EVERYONE 😂
Omg omg I never thought to turn the lights off and sleep. Greatest advice ever. I will try it from today only and my insomnia will run away. I’m forever indebted to you for this wonderful advice. ❤
You have problems sleeping? Just sleep bro like why is it so difficult man? Just sleep.
@@mr.equity1120 “Why are you homeless?”, Just buy a house dude ..
Make sure you turn them on when you wake up!
@@MrSamM24 are you dead? Just be alive and it will be good.
Seek more light in the day
I can't believe people just "fall asleep"
Yes bro I'm one of them who just fall asleep 😅
@@johnsonnadar007 do you like close your eyes then boom ur sleep?
@Aturdadshouse I'm the same, and yeah, I just fall asleep lol, especially during naps, at night it takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how tired I am
Your body is a machine. If you don’t properly wear it out and exercise it properly, you’re going to be prone to all sorts of issues, sleep included
lol.. once my head hits the pillow, I'm asleep. My kids are having problems though. They refuse to go to sleep and when they do, they wake up early. Nothing is working for them.
thats literally the equivalent of "if youre depressed just be happy"
I've had horrible sleep for 20 yrs. I've tried everything. Doctors have tried. Chewable gummie melatonin have finally given me the sleep I've needed. I don't think you know enough about insomnia.
Do you have a specific brand? Thanks!
Are you sleeping well now? Please say yes or no, I'm feeling hopeless
Did it ever occur to this guy that we’ve already quit caffeine, made our rooms cool and dark, and done all the other stuff? I swear to god people who give advice to insomniacs assume we’ve never gone to Google before.
As an insomniac I would probably finish the damn book
Forget the book, i eat everything in the fridge. Then i have another problem, no foof left for the next day.
As a person who cannot end things on a cliff hanger I’d probably have a mental breakdown if I even yawned, and how is actively keeping your brain awake doing any good
I’ve done that genius. The book reading in low light. Zero. I read all night in the dark.
Now where’s my melatonin!!!
I’ve tried every trick in the book in order to sleep. Melatonin gummies 5mg have literally saved my sanity after being so sleep deprived for years.
@🌸rose I’ve been taking it for years and nah it’s not really addictive (for me at least)
Bro it lowers testosterone and raises prolactin
@@OlliMonkeit lowers testosterone and raises prolactin get off ait brother
@@Jameshello45 Lack of sleep does worse to me tbh.
@@croccandbaultorcure3295 no
Been 4 hrs bro. Sleep hasn't come
hahahaa same!
I use quetapine 25mg for sleep.
@@maxheimer9605 how do you even wake up??? 25mg is insane
What time is it?
Drink some wine
Tell that to my 3+ years of insomnia. Half the time I see the sun rise before I can fall asleep
Twll that to the dark circles around my eyes.
Brain issue I guess
Are you sleeping well now? Please say yes or no because I'm feeling hopeless
Some of us have insomnia, Chris
It's 5am, he lied. My ADHD keeps me awake like a car that won't start until your seat belt is on and all doors are closed. Yet I have no idea what the seatbelt or doors are in my case
Sleep will come? My rooms already dark if not black and I still stay up 6-7 hours unbothered not tired just staring into a black abyss 😐
What are you gonna do with that book in the dark I'm confused
😂 true. Most doctors are idiots who work for the big Pharma government
It’s better to look at tv a movie with the light’s off not read a book with the lights off.😂😂
Lol, thats funny dude.
Kindle
I have had lots of light during the day outside and had a dark room and have no caffeine and nothing on my mind going to bed blue light blocking glasses and have terrible nights sleep.
Make my room dark? Oh damn, how did I not figure this one out earlier? Thanks for the tip sleep specialist! Now I'll fall asleep in 5 minutes instead of in 5 hours for sure
Some people can’t stop thinking about things it’s hard to focus.
Sleep will come when my insomnia decides to take its first vacation
Here in sweden we get very little light honestly. We can go months without seeing the sun, so we need vitamin D/melatonin pills. i use melatonin maby a few days a week, depends on the day.
I use every day
10 mg
If it was that easy we wouldn’t need it. My doctor prescribed this to me after a seizure I had from lack of sleep.
“If you can’t sleep, try again!”
If you can't sleep just sleep duh
Dude sounds like that one chick
If your homeless why not buy a house 😂😂😂
I have ADHD. A dark room and a book (if that really worked) would have saved me years of missing morning University classes and losing jobs if it were that simple. I had several sleep studies done before I was diagnosed. Vyvanse out of everything has been the thing that has regulated my sleep. I do take a variation of herbal supplements to help calm me at night too.
Give people some that are suffering with sleep issues and disorders some deeper solutions. It can be really invalidating and frustrating to be told to have hot cup of tea, take a bath, and having a dark room to help you sleep when you’ve tried everything and nothing works. There is nothing worse than not being able to sleep.
For a, “sleep specialist” that’s probably the worst advice I’ve ever heard. Whoever gave you your degree should take it back.
He gave it to himself
It’s so easy to tell someone sleep well. When because I’ve been getting about two hours sleep every night for the past three weeks and I still haven’t crashed yet. I wake up in a crappy mood because I didn’t get enough sleep. No energy, exhausted, fatigue And brain fog.
So melatonin is harmless, but we shouldn’t take it? 🤷♂️coming from someone like myself, an ex-meth addict, insomniac, who hasn’t caught a good night of good sleep in 8 years, I can testify that melatonin has changed my life, alongside healthy daily habits/recovery goals of course. Just throwing that out there for anyone struggling.
Lol I have tried everything from meditation to sleep restriction… lifelong insomniac.
Melatonin did nothing huh?
Any solution?
Are you sleeping well now????
nah cuhh, it can be pitch black in my room, after being in the sun all day and I’m still not falling asleep that easy
And if you have a job, don't worry, you will be constantly late or absent, probably lose your job and maybe your home and family, but do not worry, that will only stop you sleeping, just read a book, your boss will understand and be patient I am sure 👍😃
Thats easy for you to say when you havnt got racing thoughts 24/7 and try everything under the sun to fall asleep i need this 🙏🏽
Four days. I've been awake for four days. Without medication this is my life.
Can you sleep during the day time ?
I no how you fell m8
Staying awake for three days and nights not sleeping at all taking care of my sick doggie made me so short off . How can stay awake for four days ???
@@margaretpeelen3968My record is six days.
@@jasonbeckley8106 that’s long , without nodding off at all. Think when you have a lot of stress going and need to take care of someone that’s when you could do that as well
Sleep dont come for me lol. Just to the point where im up for so long i just wake up normally and run off adrenaline
So easy for you to say when your not the one ! This guy has nothing to say or no response at all to any of the comments!
Oh let me just start hallucinating again since I don’t need sleep medication to fall asleep anymore
How da fuck do you read a book without light? Is he suggesting we use magic?
its 3am and i have to wake up at 7, sleep aint comin my guy. sleep is on a vacation in the bahamas and may return in the next few weeks if ever while i am here in my bed with an everything ache from too tired itis
update its 5:30am im gonna have to do a whole shift of school (student) tomorrow on no sleep
i stayed up very late one night then thought oh shit i got to get up in a minute, i found that you cant force yourself to sleep then it hapened again so i realized that if i did not get anxious about sleep i would just drop off as before
Well I like it because I sleep more and I just love how it knocks you out and you wake up refreshed
I toss and turn all the time no matter how much i have spent my energy in the day. Its hard man.. And i feel terrible when i think am i the only one like this? 😢
You are not the only one like this .
I have similar issues . I’m so far trying to avoid any meds . I am taking khasskhass for past few days . This is poppyseeds available in Indian grocery stores in USA. Hoping for best .
Are you sleeping well now? Please say yes or no cause I'm feeling hopeless
Just leave your bed bro go to another room and read a book. The more you force it the worse it will be.
You know what, he’s right….im typing this at 4 am after reading a book and dimming my lights
Wow who knew this would help me from insomnia caused by pain from effing cancer.
this dude should have gotten an extra degree in business so he knows what stress is fr like
I lay in bed for an hour before I fall asleep.
wrong. i have adhd. i DO need medication to feel hungry and thirsty, otherwise i genuinely forget to eat for days until i am genuinely starving. just because you personally don't like pills doesn't mean they're unnecessary. you seem like a "specialist" who has never personally suffered from insomnia and is dismissing the severity of it.
This man has no clue what he is saying. I have problems with sleeping, it’s both getting to sleep and staying asleep AND getting good quality sleep. Did he seriously suggest to make your room dark????
Bro don't you think i tryed melatonin! It made my depression worse
It’s not just about making youu sleep it heals and regenerates your body and brain and hormones
i actually do and the doctor recommended i do because i stay up till 6 when i wake up for school and have sleepless nights 9 times out of 10
And what about someone who works night shift and can't make the room dark, andddd you don't have all day to read a book while waiting to sleep?
I'd get a sleep mask to cover the eyes, I use it during the night too to block the light coming in through the windows...
@@EroticOnion23 good advice, I recently got off nights, problem solved lol.
@@CODstreamz yea face masks work for nighttime sleep too, I was told you should make it "as dark as a cave" from before all the light pollution nowadays
I run 7 miles every morning, eat as clean as possible and have trouble falling and staying asleep.
I can tell you, that just getting sunlight and making the house dark, doesn’t work for everyone.
If I wasn’t in the military, I’d try CBD and THC but that’s not an option. I’m scared to take pills due to dependency issues.
Wish he would recommend a natural remedy 😢
I tried melatonin 5mg and I am sleeping better than I ever have in my life
Easy for him to say. It takes me 6 or sometimes even more hours to fall asleep. 😔
I literally felt that I hadn’t slept a day in my life before the moment I tried melatonin. Sleeping with it is like I actually get well rested. IS THAT HOW SLEEP IS SUPPOSED TO FEEL????
Im so glad i found your channel. My dr prescribed melatonin to me. Im not addicted to it. I told My dr that i didnt want the strong stuff. Melatonin is okey but nowadays i read alot before going to sleep it really does help ❤
All the comments here just mocking what he said, but let me share my experience. I have experienced this long before coming across this video. When u can't sleep , eventually u get stressed over not getting some sleep and this makes u more sleepless. So what he wanna say is make the lights dim and just read some book ( never use screen)and don't panic about getting some sleep. Just relax carry on with reading that book, or saying some prayers in your heart (whichever relegion u belong to) or just think about some movie or story , think of a diff ending to that😅 get yourself involved in there and eventually u will get asleep. It definitely won't happen on the first try, but ur brain will learn that!
When you have to go to sleep at 2 3 pm it's a different start
Lmao does this guy not realize I spend hours just laying in a dark room doing nothing but thinking about “damn why can’t I sleep”.. seriously inconceivable that people can just hit the pillow and knock out.. so far my best cocktail for good sleep is no caffeine + melatonin + no water a few hours before bed + some jazz music to give me something complicated enough to focus on without being too stimulating.. takes a lot of forethought for me to actually sleep. Fuckin “turn the lights off” my god this guys a genius!💀
Wait, no water hours before sleep?is this a thing cuz if it is I swear I’m going full on nonhydration 💀
I can't fell asleep due to anxiety. My mind won't stop thinking.
bro forgot about anxiety
Make sure its dark at night and read a book. Wow. Gee. I . I didnt think of that. This mans a genius.
My issue isn’t falling asleep. It’s usually staying asleep
.yeah, it's true. When i talked with my doctor about my sleeping problems, then he gave me these kinds of pills but i give it back immediately and i said, "What? no doc, this thing is hormone... i dont need a hormone to get a sleep... my body can make this kind of thing" and then we both laugh...
I will say he has a point. Taking meletonin too often can make you too immune to it to where it doesnt help. Coming from experience which is why i take benadryl along with it because it works better. But ive been taking since i was about 6 or 7 and im now 17. Ps i quit taking it for a long time because i didnt want to be immune to it. Id do this often. But also he sounds kinda dumb because if i take my meds i fall asleep even with the lights on. And also some of are afriad of the dark dyslexic and have insomnia. Also i cant sleep unless theres someone with me or someones presence because the dark scares me. And when anxiety goes up i just sit there with my eyes wide open waiting for the boogie man to come out from under the bed (kinda funny but true story) and then feel sad because i cant get up or move because im paralyzed with fear and too afraid to fall asleep. Funny thing is thats actually happened. Luckily it doesnt happen anymore lol. Anyways point is some people so need sleeping aids. In fact meletonin was the one thing that calmed me down when i was too afraid to sleep. Sooo yeah
Easy for a super successful person to say no? What about those with disabilities, finance issues, and those with anxiety.. Some of us were born into bad situations, born with anxiety.. who knows. So far melatonin has helped me. Makes my eyes heavy for sleeping 😴.
Well I have all but worn myself out in the sun and made my room pitch black, and could not fall asleep. Also, there would be NO need for these types of pills if people could easily fall asleep. I think people who have no problem with such things think no one has such a problem!
I’m so tired of hearing “close your eyes and you will go to bed” well I have closed my eyes for an hour did deep breathing and listened to white noise did more exercise in the day drank no coffee took no naps and even more.
bro literally said just sleep
Sorry, I did everything possibly could. As a nightsifter and experiencing depression and when during sleeping time, its almost impossible to sleep without the help of melatonin. At least for me.
I don’t have trouble going to sleep only staying asleep. I wake up a lot, but can go right back to sleep.
when I had trouble sleeping years ago, I tried Melatonin...it made me so OVER SLEEPY, I could NOT sleep.
Thanks to melatonin (whether it’s tricking my brain or it actually works) I’m able to go to sleep at like 7 or 8 and wake up at 7 so I think it help even if it’s just a placebo
I can’t tell if he is joking or not
I sleep super well for the first 3-4 hrs then I’ll wake up and would be hard to go back to sleep for several hours. This usually happens in the summer time because it’s warm and brighter. I tend to keep the room cool but sometimes that’s not enough. Tonight I’m trying melatonin for the first time
Update? If that doesn't help going harder drugs😂
As a nurse, patients with severe insomnia are from very different reasons and diagnosis. If books worked my insomnia would be gone by 6 and I am 62 I seep 2 to 4 hrs a night. I have books but I will stay up and read the whole book.
I usually go to bed at 10pm with no lights, no phone and I fall asleep at 1am
Nope, unless you are working graveyard shift you need Melatonin to sleep in the morning which is basically our "night time"
What if you have severe anxiety . All of sudden I can’t seem to sleep at night and then my anxiety gets worse bc I’m worried about if I don’t fall asleep I’ll feel horrible then I don’t fall asleep and I do feel horrible . Seeing a therapist but I don’t want to take harsh meds .
Your content is a breakthrough; akin to a book that was a breakthrough in the field. "Better Sleep Better Life" by Various Authors
My room is darker than Batman's cave, but guess what? I still couldn't sleep. I go to bed every 9pm, but it takes me 3-4hours before I get to sleep, lol.
"We don't need pills to make us hungry" They're called appetite stimulants and some people need them.
I'm glad we're all roasting this guy in the early hours after we've already tried everything he said to.
I pulled some all nighters, but the next day I couldn't fall asleep till like 2-3am, so no matter if I don't sleep, I can't fall asleep anyway.
i needed to hear this. i have to do my part instead of using pills to do it for me. i have to practice good sleeping habits
Well. I have to say that this is the first time I’ve wanted to put my fist through my phone screen. “We” don’t need….. just turn the lights down…ok dude….You’re a genius! Now I’m going to go water my plants with Gatorade because it has electrolytes. 😮
All those struggling with falling asleep, try alternate nostril breathing for 15m before bed.
Or solfeggio tone (with water sound in background). Any Asmr that works for you
Or a highcarb meal (if that fits with your diet)
Or Hamsa breathing
Or try Juice fasting/ water fasting
Or Keto diet (basically more fat)
Or TM
If all this fails, juat pop that melatonin 30m before yourbed time😊
Important for brains that don't produce melatonin though like autistic individuals and ADHD but it's important to be used correctly and only when absolutely needed but when your child doesn't sleep all night or doesn't fall asleep til five am it's a must as when we didn't have it the effects on me and my child were horrible I got sick of sleep deprivation and some people need more than a dark room and a book to produce melatonin.
That particular brand did the opposite of what it advertised and I could not fall asleep. Similarly resembling eating or drinking something with to much sugar as in children.
Cheers mate wish i thought of just falling asleep👍🏼
4-7-8 bteathing helps me have a great sleep everytime
never worked for me
Obviously a sleep specialist who doesn’t have anxiety or insomnia
I would be surprised if this fellow has read the full (or even a big chunk of) more recent research and what they are all pointing to. Doctors and researchers are also adding many antidotes. Which emitting strong signals that we may simply need to increase melatonin to very high levels - especially, to treat certain acute situations.
Yes, the body produces melatonin naturally, but some of us lack the necessary amount needed to fall asleep and stay asleep. Thus, the pills
Tell that to those who lives in a warm climate, also working night shift without ac. And cant close windows as it is so hot.
If you have a stressful life and anxiety. then... Very likely you do need pills....
