Going to sleep by ten was a game changer for me. Also switching to a plant based diet was instrumental in allowing me to sleep through the night! ~Micki
I DO ALL THAT ALREADY, so good confirmation I HAVE 2 GOOD TIP FOR YOU! If you find you cannot sleep, maybe you are tossing and turning, 1. let it go, in other words, try to appreciate how good your bed feels or how the cat is so soft next to you In other words dont stress about it 2. If you find that you are saying "i cant sleep, or I've got to got to get to sleep, then GET UP," tackle again later or try sleeping in a different area. Namaste thanks
Along with the other health benefits it brings, exercising or being physically active during the day always results in a really smooth, satisfying drift off into sleep in the evening. I never have more trouble falling asleep than if I've been relatively passive and immobile during the day.
Cold shower before bed can help too apparently, although start hot, then cold. Something to do with the blood flow in your body. Tim Ferris has put out a lot of info about sleep
Correct pillows really help too. I went from a useless cheap pillow that was nearly flat on a bamboo gel pillow, and it is the first time I have woken up without feeling stiff.
I have a past of very bad insomnia and these are good tips :-) Biggest thing that works for me is not to panic when I feel like I'm not falling asleep fast enough, it just gets my adrenalin going and hinders my sleep further! No looking at the time either. Better to stay calm and let your mind wander, and if you can't stop worrying, pop a documentary on (ideally on a screen with a blue light blocker) to help you drift off.
I know you guys do Insta stories each day. However, would be great if you could do more lifestyle VLOGs and post them on TH-cam for those folks not on Instagram ...because you lifestyle is so positive and inspirational ..even just 1 or 2 VLOGs per week would be so cool 🙏🏻
Gr8 tips! I am tweaking my sleep schedule & turning off my phone. 9-9:30 bedtime. I use the iPhone sleep app for bedtime alarm & wake alarm. I use ear plugs & an eye cover every night.
No lions. I don't have any lions and yet I don't sleep well. I don't think I would sleep a wink with a lion in my room. Yikes! What about sheep? Are we allowed to have sheep? They soft, cute and cuddly. Looooool Thanks for the great tips guys.
Flux really helps me fall asleep. As a student, I am usually doing homework until about twenty minutes before bed. Having flux on my computer allows me to fall asleep faster, definitely recommended!
Dr Greger I think, recommends 2 pistacio nuts in evening as they're full of melatonin, they're like natural sleeping pills. I've tried it and do sleep better like that. Also I find if I have main meal at lunch, and a smoothie at about 4 or 5, with pistachios, then nothing else, I sleep better :) Also we had your 2 books delivered, but weren't home and have to wait till after easter to pick them up, oh the torment haha! Big love from NZ :)
Thanks so much--this comes right in time! Another big factor when it comes to sleep is the person you sleep with. Maybe that person is snoring like hell, but you cannot sleep without that person either. Maybe that person has absolutely no self discipline, has to get up early, but wants to stay up watching TV, doing stuff at the smartphone... It's even harder to get good sleep.
Oh I love you guys! Great vid and I really need to do changes in mostly everything you guys said! Well... let’s start tonight. Greetings from Guatemala.
you guys are amazing! the scenario behing you is breathtaking and your tips are great, I'll def have to try them because I am struggling with insomnia. have a blessed day!
Blackout curtains are a good tip as light leakage is an important factor in getting good sleep. But I actually leave only a sheer curtain (don't have much light pollution anyway) because it makes it easier for you to wake up in the morning, which a lot of people have trouble with. There is actually a spot in your brain receptive to light that comes in through your eye and is involved in maintenance of your circadian rhythm (this is not the same neural pathway or process as how we normally think about vision). It helps signal to the body that it's time to wake up! :) Love all the videos guys!!
I’ve noticed this! I put my blinds down half just to help cancel out some light & in the morning I find it easier to wake up cause lots of natural light comes in the other half
If I have to go to the bathroom during the night I use a torch with amber cellophane over the end (sweet wrapper from Christmas!) - held with elastic band - to reduce the glare.
Thank you for your good information to sleep well. I am very bad. I sleep at all the wrong times . I attended a physiotherapist & he told me like ye routine is very important. ,……… He said that it is called. “Sleep Hygiene “. , Routine. Is. Very. Important . Do not have TV on in bedroom. No I-Pad . No Phone. . But before my next appointment he was transferred. I will definitely go back over. your Video again & again. . I .think if I cut out one item at a time, , stop watching The Happy Pear , their lovely recipes & good sleep ideas , I may get some good Sleep. ha-ha . I will do all of the above before 10 p.m. Thank you again for your good ideas for Healthy asleep. Much appreciated. .. good night & God Bless. 😴😴😵💫
Exercise, especially swimming during the day, helps a lot with sleep. Also, here is a tip that nobody talks about: in cold climates use an electric blanket. Turn it up to high a half hour before bed, then turn it off when you get in. That way you feel super cozy and comfortable, but the temperature gradually decreases and you gradually drift off to sleep.
So true what they say about lions. Lions are alarming creatures. Lions are very large and take up an enormous area in bed, especially the way their legs stick out. Also, lions have an embarrassment of long and pointy teeth and claws which can really interfere with a peaceful sleep, especially if your lion bedmate is prone to night terrors. Sleep well. Avoid lions.
If you haven’t already, you should check out Dean and Ayesha Sherzai. I was introduced to them through the Rich Roll podcast and they talk a lot about sleep. They are professors of neurology and give amazing insight into the importance of sleep and brain health.
Super-useful info, lads! I probably need to work on this aspect of self-care more than any other, but it's tough to recondition oneself. I can only add that I have found it helpful to not eat close to bedtime. Will use your tips like a program. Sending wishes for a peaceful and pleasant Easter to you, TFP : )
Yes! Agree with all of this. I am out from 10-2 like a baby. And I love my melatonin pills. Especially the quick-dissolve ones that taste like cherry. Good stuff and works in 20 mins - 1 hour max. :)
I personally hate the extension cords with the lights- companies are adding the red (or blue, or green) lights to it and you can't turn them off. I can't sleep when there is even a tiny bit of light. I am taping some black cardboard to any light we have in the bedroom.
I'm used to sleep without curtains since 2012 and for the last 2,5 year I lived in house opposite to an elevator, which was illuminated all night. So - what happened to my melatonin?
What would you advice when one is sleeping by 11 pm but the upstairs neighbour starts walking up and down above the bedroom after midnight (and clearly it is heard bellow)?
Katie Maher Thanks for replying :) I'd been looking at that brand and it seems like a gentle way to wake up. I am actually a morning person, but think I'll go for it anyway. Cheers! :D
Try not to eat a large meal before bed...ideally don't eat for the couple of hours before sleep as your digestion will be very active and will make it more difficult to fall asleep. Btw..that was the longest path walk ever😂
what kinds of tips would you guys suggest about my downstairs neighbor that plays heavy bass hip hop music every night around 2-4 am? I'm dying. I get no sleep. :/
rooseveltrdPR sneak in & break his stereo? Hehe. Have u talked to him? I use earplugs. Of course if it’s really loud they may not help much. If ur asleep early like before 10 u night sleep through it.
If you live in a building, I would speak with the property management. Otherwise, most towns/cities should have bylaws that make is illegal to have loud noise during certain hours in some areas.
no lions? i was wondering who actually sleeps with lions in their bedroom at night. i can see how that would actually keep you awake... no lions...oh, no lie ins!!!...

I concentrated too much on the beatiful landscape and I missed almost all of your tips. Guess I have to rewatch the video. xx
I was wondering why the hell you were saying “no lions”... oh lie ins!!! This Canadian was confused :)
This Bostonian, too! ; - )
Me too! Wondered what on EARTH lions had to do with sleeping! Lol! Finally this New Yorker got it …
Lol I'm Aussie and thought they said that too at first haha
I thought they said no lyin'. Presumably because lying keeps you up at night with guilt and fear. This Canadian was confused as well.
jthenyify this Aussie was confused too.
I work in a job where I advise people on sleep and I agree with all the tips here, brilliant video.

Great video! Loved this rolling camera format and the beautiful countryside. Great sleep tips. Thanks guys❣️
Great camera person! Two videos like this now. Me likey!

Great suggestions. Well done camera person! Any tips for shift workers? I really struggle with sleep.
So helpful!!
Thank you guys! Awesome video :D

Great tips and I just love the scenery...love the videos outside! Great job guys! 🌻
Thanks for the sleep tips. How do you manage travel and changing time zones?
Twilight for Android and f.lux for PC. I cannot live without these.
This is so helpful and so artistic and great video !! Love you guys ❤️
Thank you for making a difference. I really enjoy your videos ! ☺

Cool ideas. I fall asleep listening to a guided meditation when experiencing sudden insomnia.
Oh I love you guys! Great vid and I really need to do changes in mostly everything you guys said! Well... let’s start tonight. Greetings from Guatemala.
You guys are hysterical. I am so looking forward to learning more about making vegan foods. I believe in compassionate foods 😋

this is silly but I ware a nite cap and I pull it down over my eyes and I sleep that way I KNOW, not many pple will do that
If I have to go to the bathroom during the night I use a torch with amber cellophane over the end (sweet wrapper from Christmas!) - held with elastic band - to reduce the glare.

I always try to not have anything to eat for about two hours before going to bed. It helps me fall asleep more comfortably.
Exercise, especially swimming during the day, helps a lot with sleep. Also, here is a tip that nobody talks about: in cold climates use an electric blanket. Turn it up to high a half hour before bed, then turn it off when you get in. That way you feel super cozy and comfortable, but the temperature gradually decreases and you gradually drift off to sleep.
Great video 👍
Would a Salt Lamp be classed as amber light?
I loved this video!! please make the one with that expert you said!! I am at uni an I have a hard time getting to sleep!! Lovely content 😍

Yes please on a sleep course! Great work, lads 🙏🌀🌈
I feel so motivated to sleep now, thanks dudes 🤗

Nice recipe
Any tips with sleep for night shift? I do 12-13 hour shifts, and often struggle with going to sleep at 9am.
💙
Which books did you read. Was it the Shawn Stevenson one?
Thanks! :)

Love these videos with tipps on various things. Keep it up!
Also, where are you in Ireland? Looks so beautiful there and is far up on my travel list.
Yes! Agree with all of this. I am out from 10-2 like a baby. And I love my melatonin pills. Especially the quick-dissolve ones that taste like cherry. Good stuff and works in 20 mins - 1 hour max. :)
Do you think taking melatonin long term will be bad as I'm afraid I will have trouble sleeping when I do not take.
Need to retire from current job to be able to accommodate these top tips. 😀
Haha watching this at 3am 😂
I love these videos!!! 😄
How many puddles did Sean step in? 😂
Love your video. I have written a book on the subject and do work around this area. Feel free to look me up.
I like these videos
f.lux is an amazing app! Puts a lot less strain on my eyes :)
I personally hate the extension cords with the lights- companies are adding the red (or blue, or green) lights to it and you can't turn them off. I can't sleep when there is even a tiny bit of light. I am taping some black cardboard to any light we have in the bedroom.

What would you advice when one is sleeping by 11 pm but the upstairs neighbour starts walking up and down above the bedroom after midnight (and clearly it is heard bellow)?
laestdeeden Use headphones with ambient music to drown it out.😊
Then you're fucked 😂 Joking. Use soft ear plugs or something to block or lessen the noise.
I use the Twilight app on my phone to darken my screen - works well for me.
Has anyone used those 'natural light' alarm clock lamps out of curiosity?
AzzaYCF I have a lumie alarm clock they are brilliant. I was never a morning person always groggy in the morning and that's helped tonnes I love it!
Katie Maher Thanks for replying :) I'd been looking at that brand and it seems like a gentle way to wake up. I am actually a morning person, but think I'll go for it anyway. Cheers! :D
Love your recipes, lads but a small point. The letter 'H' is spelled (and therefore should be pronounced) 'aitch'. Not 'haitch'.
What sleep books did you read ?
Try not to eat a large meal before bed...ideally don't eat for the couple of hours before sleep as your digestion will be very active and will make it more difficult to fall asleep. Btw..that was the longest path walk ever😂
THought I was the only one who hates turning on the bathroom light
Wait wait....Wicklooooow! I heard the train!
Was the person filming this walking backwards or have a camera attached to their back?
I have to take melatonin tablets, because I don't naturally produce enough to fall asleep.
Interesting video
Yo dudes
No lions?
Axiomatic Plerophoria It’s hard to sleep when a large predatory feline is lunching on your head. ;)
Lol they meant no 'lie ins' ie no sleeping in
Oh! No wonder I feel like sleeping during 930pm
what kinds of tips would you guys suggest about my downstairs neighbor that plays heavy bass hip hop music every night around 2-4 am? I'm dying. I get no sleep. :/
Have a chat with him! Also earplugs and an eye mask :)
rooseveltrdPR sneak in & break his stereo? Hehe. Have u talked to him? I use earplugs. Of course if it’s really loud they may not help much. If ur asleep early like before 10 u night sleep through it.
Jump up and down, throw heavy things on the floor at 6-8 am.
If you live in a building, I would speak with the property management. Otherwise, most towns/cities should have bylaws that make is illegal to have loud noise during certain hours in some areas.
Move, if you can
Your poor cameraman!!!! That was a lot of backward walking!!!!....
f.lux app. It's good.
turn your cellphone off (and gadgets like computers) i put the cellphone in another room.
"no lions"
HAHAHA
no lions? i was wondering who actually sleeps with lions in their bedroom at night. i can see how that would actually keep you awake... no lions...oh, no lie ins!!!...
No lions?
No 'lie ins' ie no sleeping in
