There's really nothing worse than lying in bed in the wee hours of the morning,feeling beyond exhausted and yet unable to sleep. The more I try, the worse it gets!
This used to happen to me alot, and I would load up on sleeping tablets all the time to try to force it which rarely worked. But I did find a solution, My mind is active all the time, I just cant wind down, but if you lay down on the bed, and listen to an audio book, you can learn to recognise the point where your attention starts to lose focus on the story, at this point you can stop the playback, and within about 10 more mins you will be asleep. I'm not saying this method will work for you, but for me at least I can get consistant sleep this way.
I’ve been suffering for the past year or so. I have no trouble falling asleep but after two or three hours, I wake up and can’t get back to sleep. Thanks for the info. Will try anything to get more sleep.
This happened to me a lot and I was loosing hair for lack of sleep. Now, I have basically reversed the situation. Other than the things mentioned in the video, I also found followings to be useful: 1. Use of GABA 2. Heat powder of agarwood for 1~2 hours before sleep 3. Meditation 4. Less workload
@@zackchow6669 Thank you Zack! I’ll definitely do my due diligence & research before buying anything but I appreciate the recommendation! Take care & thanks again!
Since ive gotten healthy i sleep like a baby. I used to be the one that was up @ 2 am and couldnt fall back asleep. Thanks to dr bergs videos i fixed myself. 93 lbs lighter and a whole lot healthier!! 😊
@izzy p I am even going through perimenapause and I've only experienced night sweats. I wake up from sweating and I fall back to sleep as soon as I change my pj's, sorry about getting personal I just couldn't imagine how bad my perimenapause would be if I didn't get healthy.
Dear God! I've had such a difficult time sleeping since my husband died in Sept. I'll be doing a sleep study in a few weeks. I either sleep from 4-11 am and then drowse until 3 pm or be up over 24 hrs. I'm usually in bed by 10 pm but am awake until 4.
So glad to see this - I've been up basically all night for months and don't know why. I will fall asleep as soon as I sit down to read or watch TV, but when I go to bed - boom - I'm awake.
Dr, Berg. Very helpful to go over these points. I find myself wanting coffee early am but no breakfast until 10am. Then I naturally want a meal at 3pm. Good to listen to ones' body. B1 does help me sleep better along with a dark room and an open window. Thanks for this video.
I have Mitochondrial Disease and I'm having much difficulty falling asleep. I have to be medicated. I'm 46, had a stroke last year, gastroparesis, colectomy, and am currently in chronic respiratory failure. Multiple other issues, such as seizures, low vision, and now the difficulty falling asleep. I have taken your supplements for many years and rarely miss your Friday lives. Thank you, Dr. Berg 😊
This has been my problem for ever, I once did 3 days of 8 hours shifts without sleep cuz I just couldnt sleep, and it also messed my whole education, infact I've slept 6 hours in the past 3 days . Thank you
This was literally me last night. Exhausted. I am currently for the last 3 weeks at a higher altitude, and it always screws with my sleep. When I am home sometimes, I just fall asleep with my kids between 830 and 9 and I feel great. I am out of town and my sleep is terrible. I will try these tips.
I've been providing solo hospice care for someone and being too exhausted to sleep has been a real problem lately in combination of it always being interrupted sleep. Normally I'm a night owl so night time isn't the problem, but being forced to be up during the day without any sleep has been really killing me. Thank you for reminding me to try some deep breathing. I hope it starts helping.
1 gram of GABA before bed, no food 3 hours before, and no screen time 1 hour before bed, and a 10 minute wim hof session a day. Helped me sleep like a fetus.
@@mirsidorov5112 not sure what most of those acronyms are, but the real problem is having to get up every 1-3 hours to provide care/medicine and often involves heavy solo lifting. I typically take 1-2 hours to calm down and rest my muscles/bones enough to sleep so by the time I'm ready to doze off, it is time to get up again. I'm lucky if i get 2 hours of sleep a night/day lately unless I overdose on melatonin, which i typically refuse to do.
I use quite a few ways to help me fall asleep: exercise and light exposure during the day, cool and dark bedroom, no eating 1-2 hours before bed (and if I eat anything, then it's something light like yogurt and berries, or toast with almonds butter and banana), no screens before bed and drinking chamomile tea 2 hours before bedtime. A not-very-known light that helps me fall asleep is pink light - it's a really nice light to use in the bedroom before bed.
Im a nurse and I always have your videos playing in the background whenever I go to sleep, I your voice really calming and relaxing, ive tried with other videos/people but I always come back to Berg lol
@@Drberg Hello Sir, I find almost all of your videos useful. Can you please make one on Restlessness. I have been feeling restless especially in the legs and arms at the evening time and its been almost a year since I had a sound sleep.
I love sleeping with my windows open. I always get a good deep sleep when I do. I also wear a sleep mask. Still waking up between 1-3, guess my adrenals still aren't 100% yet. Working on it. Thanks for the info Dr. Berg.
Grandma always slept with her window open. Maybe just a little in the winter. She had wool blankets. I had many overnight visits with her when I was little and remember not being to sit up because of the heavy weight of the blankets, my nose being cold and hearing the sounds of the city outside.
@DudeWheresMyCardz When that happens, try taking a homeopathic remedy called Aconitum 30C. Just one pellet, just once. When it happens. Keep the tube handy, with a pellet in the chamber, ready to go, so you don't have to turn the light on. Don't touch the pellet. Just tip it from the dispenser, directly under your tongue. Once it has touched your mucous membrane, you can either swallow the pellet or spit it out. The energy from the pellet is in you. No need to swallow even. I hope this helps. 🌿
That's high cortisol levels probably! Dr berg suggested magnesium glycinate in another video and that was a game changer for me. I take 400mg/ day. Half in the morning and half at night
Thank U So Very Much For Sharing This Dr Berg I Struggle With Not Sleeping well Im Dealing With ANXIETY And Depression. I Worry Quite A lot This Keeps Me From falling Asleep. Dr Berg Thank U Again for Sharing This Your Videos Have Helped Me Tremendously..
Had a field week and was so exhausted i started to feel heavy and with no stamina to do anything. After some hours i got a flue with throat pain and cough. I hope it will help me to gain my energy back
This happened to me once, when I had to work during the day and go to college at night. The doctor advised me to exercise, but didn't go into details like Dr. Berg. I couldn't believe it at the time, because I was too tired to exercise. He just said if you still can't sleep, come back to prescribe medicine. After I tried to exercise, my sleep got better and better.
This video helped me realize that prior to my spinal cord injury, I really was "normal." All those things you mentioned plus a life full of compound trauma & I still slept well. At present, I'm almost 6 yrs. into zero REM sleep. My brain is constantly sparking & every specialists I've been to can't believe I'm still able to carry on a conversation. At 8 months into this H3LL...I was concerned I'd die of a brain aneurysm. Instead they told me that sleep deprivation would cause my demise & likely within a year. I've gone through 2 involuntary adaptations. I'm guessing it's my body's way of coping. The latest was almost 3 yrs. ago. The best way I can describe it is blanking-out...as someone who studied marine life, I compare it to how a dolphin is able to let one side of its brain rest whilst the other is fully functioning. I'm not afraid of death, nor am I suicidal. I see my doctor every month & speak to my pain counselor every Tuesday. All my conditions are/have been inoperable & each test points to my spine shifting like a Jenga puzzle being the culprit. The ONLY good that has stemmed from all this is that Work Comp, by order of a judge, was forced to agree it was their fault for refusing to operate on me when I was operable. I went through every agonizing & embarrassing test at the expense of W.C. The only thing nobody will do for me...even if I sign a waiver...is hit me in the head with a mallet, just enough so I can sleep. I'm truly that desperate. I take what I call quick naps....anywhere from 30-90 min. & if I get 2 a day, that's a good day indeed. I think my brain/body is trying to adapt again...I told my counselor about it today. Like I explained to her...I'm just too tired & feel a prisoner to this predicament more than I ever have. I do my best to stay positive by meditating, staying away from negative people/things, & living as fulfilled a lifestyle as my condition will allow. As someone who has always been useful & an advocator for survivors of compound trauma...my lack of sleep has made me into a pathetic shell of my former self. I'm not asking for pity...only that you be grateful for every hour of sleep you do receive. Blessings, ~ Covah
Hi Covah, I suffer from insomnia for as long as I can remember. It's nothing compared to what you are going through but I wanted you to know that when you look up at sky at night, there will always be someone watching with you too ❤ Hope that makes you feel less alone. I will be looking for you! Sending light ✨️ 🙏🏻
We don’t have much lighting in our living room and it gets dark when the sun sets so I guess that’s why I sleep so well. We put a fire on the tv and watch that before bed too.
I found that eating the last meal earlier in the day is a major positive factor for my ability to fall asleep. At least 4 hours before bed time is perfect for me. And following a bedtime hygiene regularly (such as bath with relaxing essential oils before bed, no blue light in bed, etc.) always ensure that I sleep well every night. As long as my hormones are not acting out. 😀
Thank-you for the "5 hours before bed". Most fitness and Keto people give a time to eat, but if you work 2nd or 3rd shift, it doesn't work if they only give a time. e.g., I go to bet at 7:30 PM because I get up early.
One more physical thing you can do that Dr Berg didn't mention and this is *even if you don't feel cold* ... Warm your feet thoroughly - so they're as warm as toast. It's a physiological fact that if you have more blood in your feet (the case when they're very warm) there's less in your brain and you will start to feel sleepy. I worked this out for myself years ago and it works. Getting into bed with medium to cold feet will take ages to warm up under the bed covers alone. You need to soak feet in a bowl of hot water first and/or use a hot water bottle.
Your right Doc. Doesn't make sense to try and sleep during a insulin spike or just digestive activity that needs movement. Good stuff Doc. keepemcoming
I started using a grounding sheet and it really seems to help. I couldn't sleep the other night but in the morning found the sheet had become unplugged. Would like to know if the doc has investigated grounding for sleep, inflammation, etc.
Hi Dr. Berg, I love your informative videos. One thing in this video though. Plants only produce oxygen in the presence of light (photosynthesis), otherwise they use the same oxygen in the room as the occupants do. They would produce oxygen during the day but that would diffuse well before bedtime. Unless you sleep with the lights on, it is actually bad advice to have plants in a bedroom, except if it is well ventilated, which defeats the purpose of the plants in your example. No biggie, keep up the great work!
Sir ur timing of videos are perfect. There is always so much to learn from your videos. I find it very useful to fix my problems. Thank u so much Dr.🙏🙏🙏
I had complications from the Phizer... Could not take a deep breath for about 18 months it felt like.. Had a ton of tests done and doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. It felt as if the breath had just left me a few days after my first dose 18 months ago. I am a young man in my early 30s who exercises regularly but did also have some boughts of depression so I probably wasnt getting enough vitamin D to combat some of these problems. Anyways... I started taking large doses of Vitamin B1 the past few weeks and I've drastically improved. It feels like I'm a new person... I can think again, feel happier, more energy and I am finally getting some sleep again... Insanely amazing and so grateful. Hopefully it continues. Have also added L Arginine now to see what happens
"If you go to bed at 10:00, eat your last meal at 5:00". I finish work at 5 😢 sometimes later. Constantly tired, never get enough water. Constant problems.
Very good advice with lighting. I've been designing lighting systems in various buildings for decades. In my own house we have replaced the halogen lights with LEDs. The ones I selected change the color temperature, lower when dimmed. So, they give off a yellow light when dim and a bluer light when up high. It mimics the setting sun very nice. I see so many people putting in blue (high color temperature) LEDs because they say they like it "bright". All good during the day but not in the evening. Using different lights at different times of day works too. Cheers
If eliminated alcohol and change my diet to a more low carb style and let me tell you, what a HUGE difference in sleep! I was waking up 4-5 times a night...not anymore! I wake up before my alarm and so refreshed..its been life changing.
I have never really struggled to sleep in the past but over the last year I have had a few episodes where i haven't slept properly for up to several days. My doctor prescribed me some pretty awful tranquilliser/anti depressants which knocked me out and made me feel worse. However I have since started having an Ashwaghanda capsule at breakfast, have started running 5k regularly again and have been avoiding eating food after 7pm. So far so good as I'm sleeping really well again 🙏🤞
Hey everyone I stopped coffee a week and will be taking some tomorrow on Friday. I think drinking coffee only weekends will be good for me try it! I have been energized sleeping good and not too anxious ⭐️💗❤️🔥
Dr.Berg you're a lifesaver, God bless you and your family 🙏 ! I'd like to ask which plants do you suggest for bedroom that are safe while we're sleeping.
Thank you Dr Berg, i am exhausted. I have always had trouble sleeping but now perimenopause....its worse, i barely sleep, constantly waking 3 to 5 hours a night. I wake from pain and headaches. No idea what to do anymore.
Insomnia causes stress which inhibits sleep, causing more stress, anger and finally panic, making sleep impossible. To break a bad cycle of insomnia I've found nothing better than sleeping pills. After that there's a long period of weaning off the pills and slowly getting a good balance with excercise, food and rest again. Until some upheaval in life triggers the next cycle. Doesn't need to be big, just some uncontrollable events that cause a chain reaction. But then it's always so helpful when someone suggests camomile tea and a breathing excercise.
I had a servere case of Insomnia/anxiety ( not as severe as yours ), but I found a Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM ) practioner. From the 1st visit my insomnia and anxiety turned around. I received both accupuncture and medicinal tea.
Sometime after 2017 I lost my ability to sleep. I no longer get that adenosine hit that signals bedtime. I think the longest time I was awake for was 3 days. When I do sleep, it's usually very light and I feel more exhausted on waking. I tried everything to try to fix it, absolutely NOTHING worked. Eventually I stumbled across a carefully measured supplement regimen that allows me some relief, but God forbid I get the dose wrong! I now try to keep to a strict bedtime routine: in bed when it's dark, or use blue light blocking glasses, up in time to look at the sunrise. No caffeine, no stress, no eating 6 hours before bed and DEFINITELY no acidic foods. The price of getting it wrong is a night of no sleep. Thanks Dr Berg!
I get like that. So tired and yet can't sleep. So then I get mad. The longer it takes me to go to sleep, the angrier I get. The angrier I get, the harder it is to get to sleep.
Best clock in human beings and that is Circadian rythm. Very nice explanation from you dear Dr. We are all in this world of modern technology and also aware of consequences even than we are making all the mistakes of missing the great Rythm.I will follow it from tomorrow.Thanks❤🌹🙏
Heavy meal before bedtime definitely affects deep sleep. This is so true. I am finding it bit difficult to overcome this pattern. Hope I will find a solution.
As you age, low level pain and discomfort can keep you from being able to fully relax. My dad used to say that was how he could have coffee after dinner, sometimes he needed it just to feel well enough to sleep.🤷♀️
This describes me RIGHT now and almost everyday. My hair is falling out so badly. My brain will not shut up! UGH 😣😬😴😥 I definitely don't exercise enough. I need to start. Thanks Doc. Thinking about getting plants also.💜👍
Thanks Mr Eric. I do the carnivore diet with good quality grass fed and finished meat and organs, and it just seems like this lifestyle keeps me on track no matter what. Thank you for this amazing info.
Dr Berg, thank you once again for excellent, informative and actionable advice. Bravo, sir! Affirming one of these bits of advice, a sleep mask was a tremendous help for me.

This is so me. I be tired and sleepy but can’t fall asleep for some reason.
I’ve been suffering for the past year or so. I have no trouble falling asleep but after two or three hours, I wake up and can’t get back to sleep. Thanks for the info. Will try anything to get more sleep.
I sleep better definitely the night I go outside in that day and walk in nature. Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸

Couldn't sleep last night and woke up early today. Thanks for the insights.
“ Some people are too tired to sleep “ i started laughing when you said that it sounds paradoxical but so relatable
I generally go to bed around 8. My exercise is doing things around the house. Mostly outside. Walking is going to the store on church days.
Thank-you for the "5 hours before bed".
Most fitness and Keto people give a time to eat, but if you work 2nd or 3rd shift, it doesn't work if they only give a time.
e.g., I go to bet at 7:30 PM because I get up early.
ما هو افضل وقت مشي طويل ؟
Allah razı olsun çok teşekkür ederim bu video için
I noticed that when we had a 5-day power outage, I slept lot better for those days.
One more physical thing you can do that Dr Berg didn't mention and this is *even if you don't feel cold* ... Warm your feet thoroughly - so they're as warm as toast. It's a physiological fact that if you have more blood in your feet (the case when they're very warm) there's less in your brain and you will start to feel sleepy. I worked this out for myself years ago and it works. Getting into bed with medium to cold feet will take ages to warm up under the bed covers alone. You need to soak feet in a bowl of hot water first and/or use a hot water bottle.
Your right Doc. Doesn't make sense to try and sleep during a insulin spike or just digestive activity that needs movement. Good stuff Doc. keepemcoming
I started using a grounding sheet and it really seems to help. I couldn't sleep the other night but in the morning found the sheet had become unplugged. Would like to know if the doc has investigated grounding for sleep, inflammation, etc.
Hi Dr. Berg, I love your informative videos. One thing in this video though. Plants only produce oxygen in the presence of light (photosynthesis), otherwise they use the same oxygen in the room as the occupants do. They would produce oxygen during the day but that would diffuse well before bedtime. Unless you sleep with the lights on, it is actually bad advice to have plants in a bedroom, except if it is well ventilated, which defeats the purpose of the plants in your example. No biggie, keep up the great work!
Yes, I was thinking that too...
Sir ur timing of videos are perfect. There is always so much to learn from your videos. I find it very useful to fix my problems. Thank u so much Dr.🙏🙏🙏
You published this right at the end of a rare & difficult night of sleep. I woke at 1 am & couldn't dose off again until 4:30am.
This information helped five people today WOW. Two of them became your subscriber's. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏God bless thank you
I had complications from the Phizer... Could not take a deep breath for about 18 months it felt like.. Had a ton of tests done and doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. It felt as if the breath had just left me a few days after my first dose 18 months ago. I am a young man in my early 30s who exercises regularly but did also have some boughts of depression so I probably wasnt getting enough vitamin D to combat some of these problems. Anyways... I started taking large doses of Vitamin B1 the past few weeks and I've drastically improved. It feels like I'm a new person... I can think again, feel happier, more energy and I am finally getting some sleep again... Insanely amazing and so grateful. Hopefully it continues.
Have also added L Arginine now to see what happens
Two meals a day where last meals ends at 6:00 to maximum 6:30 PM. I feel energetic and sleep well. :)
How do you minimize crazings
"If you go to bed at 10:00, eat your last meal at 5:00".
I finish work at 5 😢 sometimes later.
Constantly tired, never get enough water. Constant problems.
Very good advice with lighting. I've been designing lighting systems in various buildings for decades. In my own house we have replaced the halogen lights with LEDs. The ones I selected change the color temperature, lower when dimmed. So, they give off a yellow light when dim and a bluer light when up high. It mimics the setting sun very nice. I see so many people putting in blue (high color temperature) LEDs because they say they like it "bright". All good during the day but not in the evening. Using different lights at different times of day works too. Cheers
This is getting good.
Congratulations
Congratulations
Another extraordinary advice from Dr. Berg. Appreciated, sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hello dr Berg.Thank. You and thank you so much for this topic, it is very helpful for me due to I am very hard to fall to sleep ❤
You're most welcome!
@Dr. Eric Berg DC how much b1?
? Thanks
If eliminated alcohol and change my diet to a more low carb style and let me tell you, what a HUGE difference in sleep! I was waking up 4-5 times a night...not anymore! I wake up before my alarm and so refreshed..its been life changing.
This dude is like a God-given gift for humankind in pain and stress!
Thank You!!! I have suffered woth this dilemma for years
Too exhausted too sleep, oh man, I know the feeling
How about a video for graveyard workers? What are the things we can do working 3rd shift to get better rest?
This is me Dr. Berg, an overactive mind. I crave a good night's sleep. Thanks for all your videos.
I have never really struggled to sleep in the past but over the last year I have had a few episodes where i haven't slept properly for up to several days.
My doctor prescribed me some pretty awful tranquilliser/anti depressants which knocked me out and made me feel worse.
However I have since started having an Ashwaghanda capsule at breakfast, have started running 5k regularly again and have been avoiding eating food after 7pm.
So far so good as I'm sleeping really well again 🙏🤞
Hey everyone I stopped coffee a week and will be taking some tomorrow on Friday. I think drinking coffee only weekends will be good for me try it! I have been energized sleeping good and not too anxious ⭐️💗❤️🔥
B1 and magnesium before going to sleep. Plus: meditation! Nothing else worked for me. I've tried any trick in the book.
Dr.Berg you're a lifesaver, God bless you and your family 🙏 ! I'd like to ask which plants do you suggest for bedroom that are safe while we're sleeping.
All plants do the same job, none are dangerous for sleeping :)
@@raineedaytinyfilms that's fine, thank you very much 😊.
God bless Dr. Berg. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll 2nd that anyday.
Thank you Dr Berg, i am exhausted. I have always had trouble sleeping but now perimenopause....its worse, i barely sleep, constantly waking 3 to 5 hours a night. I wake from pain and headaches. No idea what to do anymore.
I'd love to hear more about sleeping for night shifters. I'm a mess and have tried many things.
IMHO the best thing is to be young.
Dr. Berg did some really good vids on this about 7 years ago, if you can find it.
Amazing info Dr, please can you recommend exactly which plants are beneficial to put in the room thank you
I found that if I listen to soothing/spiritual music I just float off, it prevents my mind chatter.
Insomnia causes stress which inhibits sleep, causing more stress, anger and finally panic, making sleep impossible. To break a bad cycle of insomnia I've found nothing better than sleeping pills. After that there's a long period of weaning off the pills and slowly getting a good balance with excercise, food and rest again. Until some upheaval in life triggers the next cycle. Doesn't need to be big, just some uncontrollable events that cause a chain reaction.
But then it's always so helpful when someone suggests camomile tea and a breathing excercise.
This is the exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much for this Dr. Berg, you read my mind!! I was going to ask you about this!!!! ❤❤
Excellent info doctor I really appreciate this
I had a servere case of Insomnia/anxiety ( not as severe as yours ), but I found a Traditional Chinese Medicine ( TCM ) practioner. From the 1st visit my insomnia and anxiety turned around. I received both accupuncture and medicinal tea.
Love this man
Thanks Doc good information
Sometime after 2017 I lost my ability to sleep. I no longer get that adenosine hit that signals bedtime. I think the longest time I was awake for was 3 days. When I do sleep, it's usually very light and I feel more exhausted on waking. I tried everything to try to fix it, absolutely NOTHING worked. Eventually I stumbled across a carefully measured supplement regimen that allows me some relief, but God forbid I get the dose wrong! I now try to keep to a strict bedtime routine: in bed when it's dark, or use blue light blocking glasses, up in time to look at the sunrise. No caffeine, no stress, no eating 6 hours before bed and DEFINITELY no acidic foods. The price of getting it wrong is a night of no sleep. Thanks Dr Berg!
I get like that. So tired and yet can't sleep. So then I get mad. The longer it takes me to go to sleep, the angrier I get. The angrier I get, the harder it is to get to sleep.
I have experienced this throughout my life. Best thing is workout, get tired and stay up until 11 pm or so.
Best clock in human beings and that is Circadian rythm. Very nice explanation from you dear Dr. We are all in this world of modern technology and also aware of consequences even than we are making all the mistakes of missing the great Rythm.I will follow it from tomorrow.Thanks❤🌹🙏
I’m watching this at 5AM because I can’t sleep. Been up since 3 😕
Oh shoot
Heavy meal before bedtime definitely affects deep sleep.
This is so true.
I am finding it bit difficult to overcome this pattern. Hope I will find a solution.
Story of my life!
I start work 5.00 am 3 days and the rest of the week different hours I’m extremely tired 🥱 can’t sleep very much !
Thank you for mentioning Methylene Blue (MB), Dr. Berg! I've been taking it for about a year and feel it greatly helps.
As you age, low level pain and discomfort can keep you from being able to fully relax.
My dad used to say that was how he could have coffee after dinner, sometimes he needed it just to feel well enough to sleep.🤷♀️
Thank you Dr Berg. This hit a lot of points to help me 😊 Especially cuz I work overnight.
This describes me RIGHT now and almost everyday. My hair is falling out so badly. My brain will not shut up! UGH 😣😬😴😥 I definitely don't exercise enough. I need to start. Thanks Doc. Thinking about getting plants also.💜👍
Thanks Mr Eric. I do the carnivore diet with good quality grass fed and finished meat and organs, and it just seems like this lifestyle keeps me on track no matter what. Thank you for this amazing info.
Doctor, thank you so much for all the knowledge you give us. May God bless you and everyone here.
Superb video brother!
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Peace love and blessings!
Dr Berg, thank you once again for excellent, informative and actionable advice. Bravo, sir!
Affirming one of these bits of advice, a sleep mask was a tremendous help for me.
Tank you so much Dr berg 🙏
You're most welcome!
This is the story of my life!😢
