14 Minutes to fall asleep!!! It takes me at least an hour. My problem isn't getting to bed on time, its not being able to sleep til an hour and sometimes 2 after I've already gotten in bed. And if I catch myself almost falling asleep, I kind of jinx it and become conscious again making me restart the process.
ilemraz S. Try to get off your phone 1 hour before bed and try 1 hour meditation while sitting on your bed laying down it will make you very sleepy you can start by doing it for 30 minute meditation and increase you can look up guided meditation for how many 30 minutes it helped me fall asleep faster you can look chakra alignment meditation if u want or any meditation.
i really need to tell you, that i am very much into browsing and seachring for good youtube channels lately, youtube channels that help me grow and broaden my horizon, plus sort of increase my life quality. and i motivate myself to leave more comments on channels that i enjoy, here are some things i noticed about yours: your content is extremely original, and the way you put it all together is also extremely intriguing, i feel like your topics are a bit "off" the usual part that involve self development. i am a student myself and i am extremely fascinated by a lot of your productivity tips. 2) the way you put yourself out there. classy. humorous. motivating. captivating. thumbs up! 3) the fact that you keep upgrading the projects you are working on (reading more). keep up the good work!
Good job Tom. I enjoyed this video and your tipsd on getting enough sleep, which I know is very critical to brain health as well as healing of our physical ailments. I am a huge fan of Gretchen Ruben's work as well. Her boo, the Happiness Project was a key factor in my rise out of serious depression after suffering a massive stroke in which I lost about 1/3 of the right hemisphere of my brain leaving me with left-side hemiparesis which I am still slowly recovering from after 5 long years. I admire you for making videos that can help people to have a better life. Please keep up the good work! #PSProblemSolved
+Sam S yep! I had trouble with this for years, and eventually built this system to *force* myself out of bed: th-cam.com/video/DZPNqJc-Jeg/w-d-xo.html - some people think it's crazy/overkill, but it absolutely works for me. After several months, I eventually got to the point where I no longer needed it - however, that's only the case when I have a *reason* to get out of bed. In the Japanese island Okinawa, they have a concept called "ikigai", which for them means "a reason to get up in the morning" - something I think is essential. For me, it's getting to skating practice - I love doing it, and my coach expects me to be there. So I wake up early enough to get a good breakfast and get there. But ikigai can be smaller - I know people who simply look forward to waking up for a walk or a cup of coffee. Another tip - when the alarm goes off, don't even think - just swing your legs out of bed and stand up immediately. A quick rush of physical activity blunts the desire to go back to sleep. This morning was a perfect example - when my alarm went off, my brain was screaming at me that I was too tired, that I needed more sleep, that it was going to be a crap day... and yet today was probably my best day on the ice ever, and since practice ended I've already done my reading and written an entire video script. Don't give your brain time to trick itself ;)
this is the kind of video i needed right now, thanks... it's almost 10pm and gonna turn off my phone now and try to sleep :) if it doesn't work i will read a book which will make me more sleepy usually
I have sleep apnea and insomnia. sometimes it can take 1-2 hours to fall asleep. I go to bed at 9 or 10, fall asleep 1 or 2 hours later, wake up often throughout the night, and get up at 5.
Good tips, thank you~ I agree with some comments though lol I have big trouble falling asleep. I tried everything: turning off electronics, three hours before turning off electronics I used fl.ux to make my light dimmer, meditating, exercising before bed, not exercising before bed, etc. The only thing that worked was having to drug myself to sleep! Taking either cheap dollar store melatonin vitamins or (my favorite this stuff works!) celestial seasoning's sleepytime extra, I was able to fall asleep on time FINALLY. Now my body's used to sleeping at that time and I don't have to use them unless I'm really anxious that day, but yea, it really helped!
Yeah, your right. I should really get to bed... It's like... 3 AM......... ....... Oh, Look! Another interesting video to check out! =P XD Can anyone else relate?
Maybe try drinking chamomile or other sleepy teas, writing down your thoughts on a notebook if you notice they keep you up or even if you don't: often your brain is worrying about something, and writing it down lets your brain be able to not worry about remembering that something. Some people find taking a shower, usually warm, before bed really helpful, and most recommend having a bedtime routine like Thomas mentioned to get their brain and body into sleep mode. Hot chocolate works for some people occasionally because they find it comforting, but keep in mind the caffeine and sugar content. Try not to do intense or medium exciting excersise within at least an hour before bed, as it wakens your body and brain up. Some find yoga, meditation, reading, a warm drink, and writing whatever your thoughts down before bed super helpful, and I recommend you try at least some of those methods. Also people who don't excersise during the day might find it harder to fall asleep, as they never used that energy to maintain or improve physical fitness and the brain can use it to fuel anxiety or stress. Keep in mind that while relaxing days are sometimes good, that energy has to go somewhere, even bad somewheres. Hope that helps!
Hey Thomas! I'm loving your content, as well as what you're doing with Crash Course. A question that I have, and can't seem to find any information on, is what to do with the afternoon slump. That's a pretty good name for it, but it doesn't always happen in the afternoon, sometimes in the evening, and falling asleep when I'm supposed to be studying is inevitable. If I could just drink coffee and be productive (i.e. neither sleeping or anxious), I would have figured this out a long time ago. Also, I do quite a good job of getting enough sleep at night as I find sleep one of the most important things. Also, I don't eat many simple carbs. Would love your thoughts on the afternoon/evening slump.
You are one of my favourite people! I find it incredible how disciplined you always manage to stay. Have you always been this way or was there something which stimulated you into leading such a productive life??
Hi Thomas ! awesome video! COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE ONE ON 'SMART DRUGS' are they worth it? dangerous? or just a placebo? thanks again:) and looking forward to more videos!
hey man I'm an addict to your channel and I wanna ask you for some advice on how to study while working a full time job. I've a master degree already yet I'm studying to get my PMP. I really can use some advice on this :)
If you're interested in scientific nutrition books then I highly recommend The China Study by T. Colin Campbell as well as How Not To Die by Micheal Greger MD
This video was sooo gud and it helped me in many ways ....and also i hve doubt...people sleeps at night and work in the morning tat is common ..........but some people work at night and they sleep in the morning .........people who works at night and sleeps at morning do they hve body condition as same as who works at morning and sleeps at night.........!!!!!!!!!
I always force myself to not sleep because I think I will waste time and could be productive in those few hours but end up doing irrelevant things. just sometimes it makes me sit and do some studying. ..
Hmm... I commented about this a week ago, in reply to a comment by Limpuls, on your Wake up hack video from 2014. :) Now I feel like I have inspired you to make this one... :D
Thomas, what is the software you are using for keeping track of habbits usually? I'm referring specifically to your book-reading (does that combination of words require a '-' in English?). It looks like something integrated.
+Thomas van Steenbergen for the most part I've used Habitica, but for my book reading I'm just using Google Sheets. Here's my goal-tracking page: collegeinfogeek.com/25pages/
Aloha! Loving your videos on sleep medicine! I've been in sleep medicine for over 13 years. I invite you attend our sleep conferences. Last one I attended was in Prague, over 2400 people in cardiology, pulmonary, neurology, etc. Do send me out a message...would love to share more content with you to share with the public! Maybe if everyone slept well, there wouldn't be angry people walking around shooting people or doing harm to others! We all would be more productive and lead a healthier, happier life.
+Joshua Ferguson that's the Uberman polyphasic sleep schedule - and I don't recommend it at all. Partly because I tried it in college and it turned me into a zombie (I experienced absolutely none of the benefits all those bloggers tout), and partly because the science doesn't support it. Later sleep cycles during one sleep session will spend more time in REM than earlier ones, which is why you want to get 4-5 during a night.
+Joshua Ferguson It's not a sound idea scientifically AND practically (I do research on sleep and have some relevant knowledge). First, suppose you pull it off, you'll have to keep these naps (one each 3.5 hours) perfectly scheduled no matter what else happens or you become useless for days. Next, REM-sleep-only is a terrible, terrible plan, it's plain impossible but if it worked you'd have found yourself deprived of regeneration, declarative memory consolidation etc (everything else that happens during deep sleep), meaning at the very least you'd have much trouble learning anything except motor skills (maybe). Finally it just does not work, period. Sleep-wake cycle, as Tom pointed out, is regulated not only by the "tiredness since waking"; which is basically saturation of adenosine receptors in the brain but also by circadian clock governed by suprachiasmatic nucleus, ant that bit runs on 24...25 hour cycle basis. It can't run much slower or faster, that's an inbuilt property of the clock genes and proteins, it's very basic. Consequently you can't have arousal level ramped up and down and melatonin produced on 4-hour-cycle basis and therefore you can't have any proper sleep this way. It's not being Uberman, it's just napping from being constantly sleep deprived. I could go on about chronotypes and stuff but I'm sleepy at the moment myself, so let's end here. On the other hand, singular nap during the day (most people feel less energetic around dinner) is OK, healthy even. Bottom line: if you want to cheat sleep, forget polyphasic, that's a nonsense fad. Try caffeine or better yet modafinil; best of all, just follow Tom's advice in this video and don't cheat anything. Cheers.
Vladislav Tabanakov That is an awesome explanation! Right now I get about 5-6 hours with a nap in the middle of the day. The sleep cycle I mentioned would be a dream come true, even though I know it wouldn't work. I just wanted to know all of the reasons why. Thanks!
One of the best books on nutrition is "How Not to Die" by Dr. Greger. He also posts videos every other day on Nutritionfacts.org, summarizing the recent scientific data on nutrition. It was my new Netflix for a couple months!
thanks for the video! such informative videos you have. i'm subscribing you!! and i'm happy you're intrested with science of nutrition coz i'm a dietetic students! :D :))))
I am 19 and I can't sleep before 12 or after.. And I wake up in the middle of night often and can't go back to sleep or I don't sleep at all.. And im not on the phone, I put it in another room so when the alarm goes of i have to go and turn it off..
A month and still can't I go to bed in that predetermined time but still find it difficult to sleep😢 I go to bed like at 11pm but it takes 4am for me to sleep and i get up at 3-4pm
So does looking at screens before bed make it take longer to fall asleep, or just make your sleep less effective. Because i always watch youtube before bed and usually have it on in the background when i go to sleep, and it doesnt take me that long to, but i wake up tired. If that made sense
Thomas Frank Thanks man! I'm honoured! You've basically subbed at a pretty perfect time because I've been taking a lot of your advice from videos and the book on board and I'm slowly reorganising my life to a point where I can maintain an upload schedule once my exams are over!
+KhanStopMe awesome! I really enjoyed the one about calling people out - you had a really well thought out point of view (and John Cena references never hurt). Glad the videos/book are proving useful!
Keep takeaways from this video: 1.) Have an established wake-up routine 2.) If you have a specific time to wake up in the morning, go to bed at a certain time at night 3.) Have a wind-down ritual 4.) Track your progress 5.) Stop using the internet late at night: Avoid electronics late at night 6.) Ask yourself: Is the goal I want a little later more important than what I want right now? One important aspect to note about waking up in the morning from the other video: * Have a reason to get out of bed. Try to find something that will excite you and give you energy so you will honestly wake up when that annoying alarm clock goes off! Thanks, Thomas Frank! I appreciate the advice!
Sameena Arr: That's in normal people, i e without actual sleep disorders, and with "just" a self-discipline and addictive behaviour pattern. Inability to fall asleep until long, is insomnia Type1, the less bad variant, whereas Getting to sleep pretty much directly, but waking up after only a few hours , unable to fall asleep anew and get enough and good sleep, is insomnia type 2, which is even more serious. There are books for self-help, if one doesn't get professional help. self-help groups too. Good luck, peace...
try lying perfectly still (most people find this easier to do on their backs) for 15-30 minutes. if you resist all twitches and scratches you can trick your brain into making you fall asleep.
Maybe try drinking chamomile or other sleepy teas, writing down your thoughts on a notebook if you notice they keep you up or even if you don't: often your brain is worrying about something, and writing it down lets your brain be able to not worry about remembering that something. Some people find taking a shower, usually warm, before bed really helpful, and most recommend having a bedtime routine like Thomas mentioned to get their brain and body into sleep mode.

So does looking at screens before bed make it take longer to fall asleep, or just make your sleep less effective. Because i always watch youtube before bed and usually have it on in the background when i go to sleep, and it doesnt take me that long to, but i wake up tired. If that made sense
I'm literally watching this on 1am with work tomorrow morning hA HA hA HAHAHA *Cries*
+KhanStopMe just checked out your channel since Alice said she loved it - great work dude! Subbed :)
Thomas Frank Thanks man! I'm honoured! You've basically subbed at a pretty perfect time because I've been taking a lot of your advice from videos and the book on board and I'm slowly reorganising my life to a point where I can maintain an upload schedule once my exams are over!
+KhanStopMe awesome! I really enjoyed the one about calling people out - you had a really well thought out point of view (and John Cena references never hurt). Glad the videos/book are proving useful!
Same with school
KhanStopMe I’m watching this at 3 am right now 😂😭
Presentation of these videos is fantastic. A little humor thrown in with the information and good narration. A+ man
Anyone else watching this in the early hours of the morning?
5am here :D
6.30 :D
+JOH 8.57? :D
Yup
its close to midnight and I have school tomorrow son does that count? XD
Keep takeaways from this video:
1.) Have an established wake-up routine
2.) If you have a specific time to wake up in the morning, go to bed at a certain time at night
3.) Have a wind-down ritual
4.) Track your progress
5.) Stop using the internet late at night: Avoid electronics late at night
6.) Ask yourself: Is the goal I want a little later more important than what I want right now?
One important aspect to note about waking up in the morning from the other video:
* Have a reason to get out of bed. Try to find something that will excite you and give you energy so you will honestly wake up when that annoying alarm clock goes off!
Thanks, Thomas Frank! I appreciate the advice!
tysm
It's funny to be watching this at 6AM when you haven't slept yet. lol I'm shit
SrIceCream xdd 7am no sleep yet, if i cant sleep i ussualy stay up 24+ hours striaght

Fat Cows haha same and even after staying up for 24 hours I can't sleep on time the next day

@@peterbrooke7146 oooor you could just embrace it and become a night owl. Positive spin, night jobs typically pay more. 😊
14 minutes to go to sleep?! Did they mean 140minutes 😭😩
Sameena Arr: That's in normal people, i e without actual sleep disorders, and with "just" a self-discipline and addictive behaviour pattern.
Inability to fall asleep until long, is insomnia Type1, the less bad variant, whereas Getting to sleep pretty much directly, but waking up after only a few hours , unable to fall asleep anew and get enough and good sleep, is insomnia type 2, which is even more serious.
There are books for self-help, if one doesn't get professional help. self-help groups too. Good luck, peace...
try lying perfectly still (most people find this easier to do on their backs) for 15-30 minutes. if you resist all twitches and scratches you can trick your brain into making you fall asleep.
Maybe try drinking chamomile or other sleepy teas, writing down your thoughts on a notebook if you notice they keep you up or even if you don't: often your brain is worrying about something, and writing it down lets your brain be able to not worry about remembering that something. Some people find taking a shower, usually warm, before bed really helpful, and most recommend having a bedtime routine like Thomas mentioned to get their brain and body into sleep mode. Hot chocolate works for some people occasionally because they find it comforting, but keep in mind the caffeine and sugar content. Try not to do intense or medium exciting excersise within at least an hour before bed, as it wakens your body and brain up. Some find yoga, meditation, reading, a warm drink, and writing whatever your thoughts down before bed super helpful, and I recommend you try at least some of those methods. Also people who don't excersise during the day might find it harder to fall asleep, as they never used that energy to maintain or improve physical fitness and the brain can use it to fuel anxiety or stress. Keep in mind that while relaxing days are sometimes good, that energy has to go somewhere, even bad somewheres. Hope that helps!
If you're watching this: *GO TO BED*
Cant, im use to sleeping at 5AM and its 3AM
Can’t I got 11 minutes before school.. and I haven’t gotten ready yet bc I kept hitting snooze
Thx
watching at 1am
how ironic
+Olga Danilova Aww you should try meditation that stuff is awesome.
Same😖
I actually think it's completely logical. Like he said, if you're watching this video you probably have the problem of staying up late.
Same 😂😭
Same OMG I can't sleep at all and I have to get used to sleeping early cus school is in 2 days😖😩😭💩😞
Kind of ironic that I am watching this at 04:30 am...
This is exactly what most people do.
Do something wrong and watch videos how to not do it while doing it.
Shivam Bhardwaj soo true
Kinda late but for me it is rn 4;34 am
It is 4:36... what is wrong with me...
I tried to sleep without using my internet, it took me 4 HOURS to fall asleep.
Try reading a book and getting off technology an hour or 30 minutes before bed.
bruh same- i had to read books until i could actually sleep and ended up sleeping at 3:00 AM so I guess i need to get used to my new routine
@@krabbykrabby8818 i did. At this point im getting melotonin
One of the best TH-cam channels. Amazing content, keep the good work coming! 👍
I am always searching for videos like this so I can go to bed at 10, not 12 :(
