Edit: Thanks for the likes people! Kudos to all of my fellow sleep deprived people trying to battle their way through the day! raise your hand if you absolutely need this video because you're sleep deprived AF *teens everywhere raising their hands*
So excited to share these sleep tips with you!!!! SLEEP IS SO IMPORTANT and I know we can all use more of it / better quality sleep!! Xx thanks for coming back! New video on my personal channel today too! (Trying on wedding rings!!!)
I had a dream in which you asked me about what I wanted to see in the next episode of try living with Lucie and I said that it would be an episode about sleeping. My dream came true.
You, that girl with the Ansel Elgort profile pic, and the dude that’s half naked in his picture are everywhere on TH-cam. Y’all should become friends and discuss your domination of the TH-cam comment section
I have just purchased a grounding sheet..they are supposed to be the best thing for inflamation and exhaustion ..and have many health benefits for preventing disease x
It’s amazing how much work Lucy puts in with these videos, she does so much research and gives us the so much information that is super interesting to learn about. Lucy’s videos are great!
Lucie it would be soooo beneficial for me and i am sure for others too, if you'd do a financial planning/savings episode. Love you soooo much. You inspire me and I hope you keep doing what you're doing now❤❤❤❤
I actually read a book recently called "Why We Sleep" By Matthew Walker. I truly think this is the best book to read about sleep because it goes into depth about how there are people who are truly night owls and early birds for survival purposes. Also there are people who fall somewhere in between night owls and early birds. Also, lack of sleep has been proven to be linked with Alzheimer's, and sleep is not for the weak! The body cannot be fooled, and when you pull an all nighter, it puts stress on the body and it cannot recover those lost sleep hours. The body cannot be tricked out of sleep, and there are many consequences when you do not get enough of it. Please read this book!! It's very scientific, but full of so much good information.
Can you do this video for chronically ill people? Our bodies work so much differently and it would be nice to find something that would actually help more. I've tried it all, it seems. 😭
lol i feel that. ive got narcolepsy so I cant physically get deep sleep. its not good, but i can try my best to make it as minimally shitty as possible (which is pretty much a TLDR of chronic illness life lol)
I have Fibromyalgia, Degenerative Disc Disease, and possibly Trigeminal Neuralgia. I understand. I use yoga nidra for sleep and hypnosis for sleep videos. There are so many on TH-cam. I like Michael Sealey, for one. I put my phone upside down and usually use headphones. I sleep too hard and don't get enough REM sleep. I haven't felt rested since 2003, but I get an average of 9 hours sleep. If I get less than 7 hours, I can't function! I take 2 hours to wind down before bed, dim lights, practice ukulele, knit, read positive, inspiring books, yoga video for sleep (I like Yoga With Adriene on TH-cam), journaling, warm bath, aromatherapy diffuser with lavender, magnesium lotion on tender spots... I do restful things. Right before I turn on the video, I write down the things I have to do the next day, then 3 gratitudes and why I'm grateful for each. Then it's time for sleep.
I used to have chronic insomnia but i stopped using the pill and pretty much immediately it was gone i really hope this helps someone medication can effect sleep!
Love your 5 day videos! Can you do a "5 Days of Fostering an Animal." Either a dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, etc. I think that would be supper cute and helpful to bringing the awareness of the over population in shelters and rescues. Thank you.
can you do a 5 days of high school like learning throughout the dy and pretending like you went to back tp high school or even middle school or elementary school I think that would be very interesting
Pretty sure you can get magnesium salts for a bath which is good combination for improving sleep & soothing sore muscles. I also heard somewhere that making sure your body is (comfortably) warm but having a cool room is a great sleep combo. I think the way they phrased it, is make sure your hands & feet are warm & your head is cold. Have to say that works for me but I don't know how much science is in there.
Also check if you have any health conditions that might interfering. My dad had a really bad deviated septum. The doctor said it was like a maze in there, so it was no wonder he snored so badly. Since the surgery he's had much better sleep and also needs less time sleeping to feel refreshed.
I use a magnesium lotion from Life-flo. They have a spray version, as well. I just prefer the lotion. It's not very expensive, about $8, and lasts a long time. I believe they have it on Amazon, but I buy from my local Natural Grocer store. I haven't seen it at Whole Foods, but that doesn't mean your nearest store doesn't have it. All the best...
You should do something like 5 days of different religions. You live in NYC and have that opportunity and I’d be interested! Here in my SMALL town we have 12 Baptist church’s so I’d be cool to see the differences
this has been a struggle for me for years because of my narcolepsy. i should be starting a medications soon that will fix my quality of sleep so im not so tired all the time, and im hoping it will help me.
I struggle with JUST GOING TO BED, like no phone and everything. I find that so depressing and isolating and I don't want the day to end like that. So I scroll through Instagram and Tik Tok and TH-cam until my eyes get heavy, which usually only happens after midnight.
Bookish Shenanigans medication can also effect your sleep for example i used to be on the pill and i asked the doctor could that be why i have insomnia she literally said that she couldnt answer because there was no proof but i tried it and most of my problems pretty much disappeared immediately
At 2:18 when she said eat ‘real good’ and it showed an apple, well yh right at that very moment I shoved a chocolate brownie into my mouth!! P.s great video Lucie xx
Hey @Opal Sky....Lucie's dad here. I also fall asleep right away, but have trouble staying asleep the whole night...usually wake up like at 2 or 3 AM and toss and turn, sleeping on and off till morning. How about you?
I’m at 5:51in the video An it’s 2:57 am And this video has inspired me to go to bed Like, right now I’ll continue watching it tomorrow Goodnight everyone 😂
The study in the book "Sleep Smarter" was from 1998 and was disproved in 2002. In the journal "Science" (science.sciencemag.org/content/297/5581/571), Kenneth P. Wright Jr. and Charles A. Czeisler redid the study and found that light on the skin does not effect your sleep. An article from (www.sciencemag.org/news/2002/07/knee-clock-connection-disputed) says, "So circadian clock researchers Kenneth Wright and Charles Czeisler of Harvard Medical School in Boston repeated the experiment, with a few improvements. For instance, Campbell and Murphy [the scientist who did the 1998 study] had used body temperature as the indicator of circadian phase for all their subjects. But a later study reported that body temperature can be off by as much as 5 hours from circadian phase, so Wright and Czeisler tracked levels of the nighttime hormone melatonin, thought to be a more precise measure." Sorry for this little science rant.I thought the light study was cool and wanted to do more research on it to help with my sleep, but it seems even books can't be trusted :(. Love the rest of the video! You did an amazing job!
Hey Lucie! Before I mention how beautiful you are, how about you do 5 days of Baking ? You did do things on the line of this, but doing this would mean the world to me!
I sleep about 2-3 hours a night and working about 80 hours a week. Redbull and pain pills works wonder 😂 No I'm not abusing them, I actually have to use them with lyme disease. But I have a question... Now I sleep with my room freezing at night bc my body is on fire at night. I freeze during the day but as soon as I get in bed, my body feels like lava. Maybe it's the lyme disease but I've heard other people being like that too. Why would we heat up like that?
@@rikiforever420 Being in pain 24/7 is absolutely exhausting both physically and mentally. I'm sorry you're experiencing it too. May I ask what is causing yours?
Tina K Same girl, except I have a spinal injury and stenosis, with a bulging disc and desiccated disc (means there’s no pad in between the bones), so my lower back KILLS me. I’m on pain meds for it and I also stay cold all day and then at night get HOT. If you’re on an opioid, opioids unfortunately screw up our HPA axis. That’s Hypothalamus- Pituitary- Adrenal) It has an almost impossible time regulating body temperature, which is why we go through this. Every night I go to sleep with the hope that maybe, I’ll get some decent sleep. I sleep at most 5 hours but usually around 4hours. Total! Have you tried sleeping naked, so that your body can attempt to adjust your temp, so you won’t get so hot? I’ve tried it and some nights it’s helped, other nights I’m hot in some places and cold in other places. UGH. That’s one thing I’d love to have, just a normal body temp!
@@JenDoe1 sorry to hear that ❤️ yes, I have tried to sleeping naked but it's uncomfortable for me bc my thighs stick together 😂 I sleep with a fan in my window and a throw blanket while the boyfriend, bless his heart, sleeps with 4 blankets. Like my upper body will feel like lava and yet my feet are ice. I know the opiates don't help, especially bc I take them at night but if I didn't, my RLS would act up and then I wouldn't even get 3 hours of sleep. I need to stop with the energy drinks but if I did, I would be worthless through out the day. I know lyme disease has a lot to do with the heat thing too. A group I'm apart of on Facebook talks about it a lot. Just sucks. Any ways, I know there isn't much you can do but I hope you feel better and get some relief soon ❤️
I use a sleep calculator to figure out when to go to sleep so that I wont wake up in the middle of a sleep cycle. It's very nice to wake up when my body is not in a deep sleep mode.
What kind of sleeper are you? What position do you sleep in at night? Share with us in the comments! :)
Refinery29 I am a starfish sleeper for sure!
I'm a log/starfish sleeper
On my stomach, or on my sides, I can NEVER sleep on my back!
I'm a side sleeper. I start sleeping on my back but by the time I wake up I'm On my side.

Love you soooo much. You inspire me and I hope you keep doing what you're doing now❤❤❤❤

I love refinery29, like it's so great, I love living with Lucie, and thier other videos are just so informational and interesting!
to add to your list of things to do before bed, skincare? brush teeth, hair, apply creams and serums :) maybe a cold shower?
This video is very informative but I hope one can be done for those like myself that works the night shift.
Can you do this video for chronically ill people? Our bodies work so much differently and it would be nice to find something that would actually help more. I've tried it all, it seems. 😭

This is the millionth time I'm commenting this but now since Ramadan is coming, please do 5 days of fasting
Yeah good idea i am muslim too. And i am fasting this year and asalam alaikum
Yassssss me too
This is a great idea! It would really inspire understanding and empathizing with muslims.
I'm not Muslim, but I think it's a good idea. I'm sure there's an audience, and it would be interesting to learn a bit about the Muslim culture.
Fasting would be great, tons of health benefits! perfectketo.com/dry-fasting/
can you do a 5 days of high school like learning throughout the dy and pretending like you went to back tp high school or even middle school or elementary school I think that would be very interesting
Honestly, I used to watch Buzzfeed, but this is just so much better. Everyone seems happier and like they care about the viewers.
Wow!!! Simple yet so informative!!! Amazing script and amazing content! Thank you.

Yes, Epsom salts. Very inexpensive and helpful.
5 days of sauna! Lots of research on sauna use and the benefits. Very interesting

Great topic and very informative! Can you recommend a good Magnesium spray? thanks

I believe they have it on Amazon, but I buy from my local Natural Grocer store. I haven't seen it at Whole Foods, but that doesn't mean your nearest store doesn't have it. All the best...
Alternatively to magnesium oil, taking a bath with bath salts is an easy way to up your magnesium.

Hi Lucie, I'm new to your channel. Where did you get your necklace? I noticed you've been wearing it for several years and I LOVE that!!
what about baths before bed? Does that help or harm your sleep?
Warm baths are good because when you get out, your body cools off like when you're sleeping.
