Yeah that is the worst and is currently happening to me. I get right at the threshold of sleep but don't lose consciousness for some reason..... I can't figure out what's holding me back
@@pykechew3763it's currently 8:10 am i worked out and im thinking of not taking a nap until 12:00 then I'll feel tired and sleep it worked once for me but i took a nap so i ruined it again
Being in bed awake is the worst thing. (Edit: I meant when you want to fall asleep so badly but cant, youre up all night, And its SO quiet ~ and everyone else is asleep.)
It is very true. The psychological aspect is what gets me. Anytime I'm focused on how much sleep am I gonna get tonight it spirals into a sleepless night
I love how it's always people who seem to have never experienced insomnia talking about it "Oh, just be okay with being awake" Nigga I gotta go to work in two hours
Don’t forget about all the random thoughts and events that you can see and watch in your head even with a complete dark room with your eyes closed untill you hear birds chirping then realise it’s morning and you’ve got things to do so you get up and get ready just to find your self so tired and falling asleep on your work breaks or not even going to do the thing your supposed to do that day because you have no energy left to move
Wow guess I just have to be comfortable with being awake for 5 days in a row with zero sleep. What great advice from a “sleep expert”. If only it were that simple
he just said to wake up in a normal time Pipadar. You go and do your wack ass job come home, no nap and go to sleep same time wake up same time go work
I don’t work. I know that if I took a nap during the day, it’ll take me that longer to get tired enough to fall asleep. Believe me, I’d rather be working then staying home and in my head all day. I was obsessed about having insomnia, that wasn’t until I accepted it.
@@kai-gg2ip I had insomnia for a while. I think all you need to do to reset your body clock is to just force yourself to stay awake during the day and sleep at night and eventually your body will get used to is
It’s literally 2:02 am right now and my best friend is sleeping across from me and I’m on the verge of tears because I’m 12 yrs old and I was trying to go to bed since 1:04 am. I’ve tried to stay away from my phone, use techniques, and different methods. Nothing. Thanks so much for your advice this really helped❤❤❤
you are geniuses. do you know what just you do to me? you make my insomnia from my biggest problems to my biggest strength. I just learned 6 new English words. ❤
Istg its so frustrating, I'm tired all day, I wanna sleep, while working, driving, socialising, working out. When I get home and lay on my bed it's like all the sleep just disappears, I want to sleep but my brain refuses to sleep. Per chance I do sleep the slightest of noise will wake me up.
The thing is, I don't purposely take naps. I'm a reader. I love reading, but when I try to read during the day I typically get tired, my eyes get droopy, and I fall asleep. but if I read at night, I'm wide awake and focused on what the book is saying and 5 hours can pass by and I don't even realize
This is so true. I have been doing fairly well being awake between 3-5 AM for decades with occasional tiredness or headaches. The more I hear on social media about importance of getting 9 hours of sleep, the more anxious I get. I am fine with the amount of sleep I am getting while I try various sleeping hacks.
I had this problem to and I still have this problem when I wake up in the middle of the night. U have to be comfortable with wanting to go to sleep. Try to relax and embrace the feeling naturally. Don't focus on going to sleep or your thoughts let all that come and go. If that doesn't work try to lightly visualize something and focus on that. If it's from being anxious and uncomfortable stretch and try to lay in a position that is comfortable and don't toss and turn let your body stay in that position. Sometimes these things work for me as I have had bad night ls falling asleep for a month until I tried to just embrace it and not think or force myself asleep when I lay down.
Thank you so much... I couldn't sleep tonight and I was scared cuz others are sleeping and I'm the only person here. This really calmed me down. Thanks again!
Yep, basically since puberty hit I've had insomnia. Tried everything. It mostly went away for a year or so and then came back these past weeks for absolutely no reason. No new stresses, no diet changes, exercise changes, nothing. No rhyme or reason. It's like my brains chemistry just spontaneously changes and oops! No sleep for you!
@@brianmeen2158 It's not that simple, I was especially active as a teen and that's when it was at its worst. I walked 40 mins both ways to school (and I'm a fast walker), plus gym and recess. Exercise doesn't always have anything to do with it unfortunately.

I love being awake in the dead of night. Everyone in the house is asleep. It's so peaceful, and just listening to the crickets and frogs and other night creatures is so calming.

@@whitedevilff2261 I have tried all kinds of crap. Tv on, tv off, no electronics 2 hour before bed, taking a hot bath with Epsom salt and lavender, cold shower, tried breathing technique, yoga, meditation, listen to soft music, white noise, exercising early in the day, spraying lavender on pillows, cooling sheets, keeping the air low at night, worry time journal and list for next day ,(trying to get the thoughts out) , I can't have a sleep schedule due to my job, so I can't go to bed and get up same time, melatonin, tryptophan, unisom, sominex, ZZZZ quill, benedryl, lemon balm, camomile tea, sleepy tea, eating right before bed to feel full, not eating 4 hours before. Ect. That's not all of it but most stuff that don't work
What he’s saying is 100 percent correct. I had chronic insomnia for a little over 6 months. I went close to a full month with no sleep and almost died. Im happy to say I sleep normal now and it’s because I finally decided to not let insomnia control my life and let go of the fear of not sleeping.
@@grumpyberri it was around 24 days of no sleep. I would lay for hours awake trying to sleep. Some nights I may have slept for very small time periods (15-30 mins) but I’m unsure because it didn’t feel like I slept at all.
Reading all these negative comments has helped me understand why I cannot sleep and have terrible insomnia. My attitude around sleep sucks. Thank you everyone for helping me see this ❤
Lets not forget lack of physical touch😢. I have. Been touch deprived for 28 yrs lol and i only can sleep when im next to a person. It gives me sense of relief
I also went through this ,but I am absolutely fine now. First of all, you need to put aside the biggest goal in your life from your mind. This doesn’t mean you should forget it, but only remember it when you’re doing something to work towards it. You shouldn't think about it all the time. You should also understand that there is much more to life beyond that goal to celebrate. You just need to accept it and think with an open mind. Stay away from caffeine and intoxicants, and make sure to sleep only at night. Keep yourself busy with work. It doesn’t necessarily have to be related to your larger goal; you can stay busy with any kind of work. Fix your sleep schedule-go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even if you don't feel sleepy. Maintaining a proper sleep schedule is essential. Do meditation and deep breathing exercises in the morning and evening for 15 minutes each time. Exercise, especially cardio and weight training, is very helpful. A minimum of one hour of exercise is a must. And even after doing all this, if the situation persists, please visit a psychiatrist. It’s not a big deal. Things will get better within a month.
So, I go to bed at 10 and I’m supposed to “be comfortable” not sleeping - give up at 2a, and pick up a book, bleary eyed, and read until I can go to sleep - which doesn’t happen … and then get up at six and enjoy my day. Riiiight.
Same, I have to wake up to go to school and since my school for auto mechanics is 60 miles from my place I have to take a train which mean I have to wake up at 5 to get my train at 6 to be at 8 at my school, my day end at 6pm and my train is at 7 which mean I get home at 8pm. When I get home I eat talk with my family and go to bed sleep from 10pm to midnight and then can't sleep for the rest of the night and It's now a week I'm like this. I think this new life stress me so I have to adapt but until my body adjust to my new routine I have to deal with this stupid insomnia.
See how comfortable with being awake in bed at night and how perfectly delightful it is after a couple months of living like that. Unhelpful 'one size fits all' advice, and simplifying and dismissive of what can be a complicated and debilitating condition.
@@ayushankar7 i, personally overcame it by thinking "if i can't sleep, then fine! so be it. what's the worst that could happen?" unlike thinking like i used to "oh no i can't sleep what if i have insomnia..why can't i sleep?" sometimes it takes me 30 minutes or 1 hour to sleep now. but i still have the anxiety each evening thinking "will i be able to sleep tonight?"
Thank you for this video, my insomnia keeps me awake night time is like being trapped, i can't sleep at night and i get angry and just read for hours fall asleep and wake up again
Many of my colleagues from Google and other companies. We suffer from autism and ADHD and our brain just does not shut off. It seems to be pretty consistent for those of us who are neurodivergent
This was a refreshing thought and one that might work for me. I've been stressing so much about the number of hours I get in and the effects it has on my health, that it keeps me from sleeping, just worrying about it. And I'm not kidding.
The problem for is since I train about a hour a day for boxing and I injured my wrist so I can’t train, it’s not that my body doesn’t want to sleep, it’s that I have all that stored energy with nothing to do
My issue is that I can’t sleep and I fall asleep at around 5:30 in the morning. Then I wake up at around 1 or 2 in the afternoon everyday. It’s very annoying. I’m in summer vacation but as soon as my school starts , this will be a HUGE problem. I need to fix this and this is gonna help. I’m sure. Thanks!
Yeah that works until you actually have insomnia and don’t sleep at all for multiple nights in a row or get such little sleep per night over weeks or months that it triggers mania or psychosis
@@giovi4824 bro I make it lose again I am so thankful to god I was thought to comment this that I have been recovered now but I forgot Everytime btw thanks for reminding me I wish everyone who is suffering while I was they be recovered soon
I maintained the same schedule for years. Start trying to sleep around 10, wake up at 6:30. I never fell asleep before 1, I woke up around 2-5 every night, my body never adjusted, I wound up trying to function on about 4-6 hours every day.
My psychology teacher in high school used to say: "if you don't fall asleep within the first 15 minutes, get up and do something before you hit the sack again".. 😂 I love the ol' fellow
Currently I’m in an insomnia phase had a week of work and now I’m back I’ve been struggling to sleep I have to get up at 5 I’m the Morning and I’m falling asleep around 1/2 it’s really effecting my work as I need to work to pay the bills but due to this I’ve had to go home early due to feeling dizzy and having blackouts and I’m sleeping in a lot more and having days of
My insomnia acts out whenever I sleep at my mother's house. My usual sleep wpuld be 4hours there.Sometimes I would have sleep paralysis even by taking quick naps. Right now, it's 630am and I still havent slept yet and i'm getting frustrated.
Easier said than done, because when your insomnia accompanies you with increased anxiety as the night advances into dawn, it makes me crazy. Nope sir it’s not as easy as you said
Suffering from insomnia and anxiety for almost 15 years. Daily. Started doing drugs because of this. Was put on probation recently. Everyone I cared about is gone from my life because of the poor life choices I've made while being in this state of mind. I guess I'll go "read a book" now 😂
The problem is that I only have insomnia before an important event like a job interview. I could stay up and read all night but it doesn't get rid of the stress hormones bouncing around my body...
Yeah wouldn't mind reading books all night but I Sleep with my parents ( cause I have anxiety) so I can't do that either ...literally in the bathroom watching this
It's unclear how long a person can live without sleeping We know the world record a man not sleeping for 11 days but guess what he is still alive And then there comes another man from thailand that did not sleep for 60 years And then there is a soldier that did not sleep for 40 years
Reading doesn’t make me sleepy but rather filled with energy and excitement so my problem still isn’t solved, i can only sleep every ~50 hours and i’m still a student. I thought i just didn’t « learn » to sleep so can anyone teach me please i’m desperate
Same here, tho for me, trying to watch a movie is more relaxing than reading, I think you should do something that is not productive at all. Something that will not energize you.
The most saddest part of my life is questioning myself, How to sleep? How to sleep?? Like how.. I'm not taking naps in a day just because I have to sleep at night, but when night comes the question comes in my mind again how to sleep.. like how.
I can't stay asleep and I am desperate. I woke up every 11 P.M, every day even when I tried to sleep at 10 P.M. And when I sleep past 11, I woke at 4. and it kept repeating every 3-4 hours. Annoying.
All the advise is stuck to a schedule which is good for a perfect world but if you're a shift worker who does days / nights; you need other tips and ideas!
I heard from another sleep expert . If this advice doesn’t work for you then here’s more advice . If you are activist putting effort in your sleep like doing safety behaviors like turning the lights off or keeping a sleep schedule to follow every day . Then you are making the insomnia worse
This is because sleep isn’t something you think about or our effort into making better . You just let sleep do it’s own thing to be honest . Abandon safety behaviors if they don’t help you or your schedule. If you feel like you can’t sleep or nap during the day because it will mess up your sleep schedule , then just do it . Don’t put effort or thoughts into trying to sleep
Guys try this I was also not being able to sleep from the past 2 weeks but I tried working out and workout will not give you results in 1 night . It takes atleast a few days to show results. I have been working out for like an hour and eating well properly and hitting the bed in between 10-11 because at that time the natural melatonin of body is high! So try doing this not all but many of you will get good results I promise.

Thank you for this video, my insomnia keeps me awake night time is like being trapped, i can't sleep at night and i get angry and just read for hours fall asleep and wake up again
sometimes (all the time) i try to sleep for AGES and it doesnt work so i literally just cry and stay up really late
The fact that I’m currently doodling in an art book
Reading books is the best way to get rid of Insomnia 👍
Many of my colleagues from Google and other companies. We suffer from autism and ADHD and our brain just does not shut off. It seems to be pretty consistent for those of us who are neurodivergent
Ooohh.... Bro is sleep expert
Reading will put you sleep for sure. I love this
This was a refreshing thought and one that might work for me. I've been stressing so much about the number of hours I get in and the effects it has on my health, that it keeps me from sleeping, just worrying about it. And I'm not kidding.
The problem for is since I train about a hour a day for boxing and I injured my wrist so I can’t train, it’s not that my body doesn’t want to sleep, it’s that I have all that stored energy with nothing to do
I get it, but I have to work, so I don't have the luxury of lying awake at 2 AM and getting up at my usual 6 AM time.
Thank you so much for this advice I actually found this to be really helpful.
My issue is that I can’t sleep and I fall asleep at around 5:30 in the morning. Then I wake up at around 1 or 2 in the afternoon everyday. It’s very annoying. I’m in summer vacation but as soon as my school starts , this will be a HUGE problem. I need to fix this and this is gonna help. I’m sure. Thanks!
Yeah that works until you actually have insomnia and don’t sleep at all for multiple nights in a row or get such little sleep per night over weeks or months that it triggers mania or psychosis
Bro I have insomnia at 11 I used to cry a lot by anoyingness but it is solved but now I am 16 I am facing it from previous 20 days 😅
did u solve it bro?
@@giovi4824 bro I make it lose again I am so thankful to god I was thought to comment this that I have been recovered now but I forgot Everytime btw thanks for reminding me I wish everyone who is suffering while I was they be recovered soon
I discovered this a few years ago. Instead of fighting it i would just enjoy the time and eventually fall back to sleep.
I maintained the same schedule for years. Start trying to sleep around 10, wake up at 6:30. I never fell asleep before 1, I woke up around 2-5 every night, my body never adjusted, I wound up trying to function on about 4-6 hours every day.
Before seeing comment section, i think iam the only person who has this problem 😢
I’m watching this at 4:20 in the morning and I have to be up to take my son to school at sevenWtf
My psychology teacher in high school used to say: "if you don't fall asleep within the first 15 minutes, get up and do something before you hit the sack again".. 😂 I love the ol' fellow
Currently I’m in an insomnia phase had a week of work and now I’m back I’ve been struggling to sleep I have to get up at 5 I’m the Morning and I’m falling asleep around 1/2 it’s really effecting my work as I need to work to pay the bills but due to this I’ve had to go home early due to feeling dizzy and having blackouts and I’m sleeping in a lot more and having days of
Im watching this because i drank 3 cups of coffee
😂
Lol mystery solved
I have places to be tomorrow and I shouldn’t be upset about not being able to sleep?
much as i want to remain comfortable being awake... the sun is already up... and im still up... 😢
I don't feel sleepy until 2am but feel hell sleepy when its time to wake up
Lucky you
My insomnia acts out whenever I sleep at my mother's house. My usual sleep wpuld be 4hours there.Sometimes I would have sleep paralysis even by taking quick naps. Right now, it's 630am and I still havent slept yet and i'm getting frustrated.
Nice, me too, its 3:55 am 😂
This just seems like someone who doesn’t only get 30 mins-1 hour a night
Easier said than done, because when your insomnia accompanies you with increased anxiety as the night advances into dawn, it makes me crazy. Nope sir it’s not as easy as you said
Suffering from insomnia and anxiety for almost 15 years. Daily. Started doing drugs because of this. Was put on probation recently. Everyone I cared about is gone from my life because of the poor life choices I've made while being in this state of mind. I guess I'll go "read a book" now 😂
How does someone doing alternating day/night shift work compensate 😢
you don't, time and space become a blur. night and day lose meaning and all that remains of what is waking is "the hour"
good luck in that hell :D
The problem is that I only have insomnia before an important event like a job interview. I could stay up and read all night but it doesn't get rid of the stress hormones bouncing around my body...
Same
Yeah wouldn't mind reading books all night but I Sleep with my parents ( cause I have anxiety) so I can't do that either ...literally in the bathroom watching this
Same
Thank you. Now I understand this better. Consistency is the key...maintain normal wake up time!
I’ve went four months with little to no sleep. Idk how I’m alive.
Gotten better?
I no the feeling.I have to take meds to sleep
It's unclear how long a person can live without sleeping
We know the world record a man not sleeping for 11 days but guess what he is still alive
And then there comes another man from thailand that did not sleep for 60 years
And then there is a soldier that did not sleep for 40 years
Sir please make a video on polyphase sleep
Is my routine good i.e, 3-6am and 3-6 pm
What about when this goes on for like a year, waking up constantly throughout the night?
Reading doesn’t make me sleepy but rather filled with energy and excitement so my problem still isn’t solved, i can only sleep every ~50 hours and i’m still a student. I thought i just didn’t « learn » to sleep so can anyone teach me please i’m desperate
Same here, tho for me, trying to watch a movie is more relaxing than reading,
I think you should do something that is not productive at all. Something that will not energize you.
The most saddest part of my life is questioning myself, How to sleep? How to sleep?? Like how.. I'm not taking naps in a day just because I have to sleep at night, but when night comes the question comes in my mind again how to sleep.. like how.
Is your prob solved? I am going through the same situation and really don't know what to doo😭😭😭💔
@@MariamAhmedSyed no it haven’t 🙂
What about not being able to go to sleep when your trying
Listen to binaural sounds
@@teroblepunsdoesn’t help
Normal people can't understand that how difficult is sleep😢
The only thing he saying that enjoy life if you never go back to sleep
What if u are on ur phone and u don’t want to sleep and ur stressing so much and u can’t sleep cuz of that but u want to
I can't stay asleep and I am desperate. I woke up every 11 P.M, every day even when I tried to sleep at 10 P.M.
And when I sleep past 11, I woke at 4. and it kept repeating every 3-4 hours.
Annoying.
I suddenly, for some reason watched this vid while being awake with racing thoughts. The explanation is spot on
This is all rainbows and butterflies to me. My mind still can’t quiet down after reading my book till 4am and need to be up by 6.
Insomnia that humans cannot sleep does exist and people die from it. It is rare but should not be ignored.
Yes familial insomnia
All the advise is stuck to a schedule which is good for a perfect world but if you're a shift worker who does days / nights; you need other tips and ideas!
*stick

I heard from another sleep expert . If this advice doesn’t work for you then here’s more advice . If you are activist putting effort in your sleep like doing safety behaviors like turning the lights off or keeping a sleep schedule to follow every day . Then you are making the insomnia worse
This is because sleep isn’t something you think about or our effort into making better . You just let sleep do it’s own thing to be honest . Abandon safety behaviors if they don’t help you or your schedule. If you feel like you can’t sleep or nap during the day because it will mess up your sleep schedule , then just do it . Don’t put effort or thoughts into trying to sleep
Yeah but what to say to boss when next day your productivity is negative.
😂😂😂
But you got a valid point ☝️
Guys try this I was also not being able to sleep from the past 2 weeks but I tried working out and workout will not give you results in 1 night . It takes atleast a few days to show results. I have been working out for like an hour and eating well properly and hitting the bed in between 10-11 because at that time the natural melatonin of body is high! So try doing this not all but many of you will get good results I promise.
imagine taking sleeping pills and ended up feeling active until the end of your next day
This guy definitely doesn't have severe insomnia
I usually take more than 1h to fall asleep because the depressive thoughts always start when i go to bed for some reason and constantly wake up
Great tips!
Your pillow cases look so cooling and crisp.
you're true but i sometimes i can't sleep at all 💔💔!!
I’m depressed to read books during the night. This is part of my issue. Insomnia and depression
Man I have been trying to sleep for 4 1/2 hours it’s 5 am and I have an international flight at noon. Love sleeping
