Perfect timing. The same day you answered this question, my sleep issues began spiking again-haven’t entirely figured out why yet. I am so grateful, Mark, for you addressing this topic and approaching it with extra compassion. I can tell you really care and empathize with us sleep-deprived OCDers because you’ve suffered in this area too. Your ability to relate means a great deal. It’s one thing for someone to speak on an issue that they have no personal experience in facing; it’s a completely different thing for someone to speak about the very issue that they’ve battled. Please cover sleep issues more, brother. You mentioned once that you and Melissa might record a discussion about the sleep battles you’ve each faced. I would love that.
@@JenniferPost Hugs, girl. For me, a sudden or increased shift in sleep issues can be my first signal that something is deeply affecting me emotionally-more than I realized.
Ask yourself " why you're a relentless performer "? " & itll heal you during the day . " YES!!, THANK YOU FOR SHARING your Wisdom ! & your experiences !
I got your two books I ordered. "Overcoming the rejection mindset." And "I will not fear." I need to get the heart healing journey and "God loves me and I love myself." Because they look like interesting books as well. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I've suffered from insomnia for 40 years it robbed me of the joy of life. It began with bullying at school as well as a very stressful childhood. I've bin dependant on sleeping pills for approx 25 years.
Thank you brother Mark! 🤗🙏 Now I know if I’m awake in the middle of the night and thinking, I need to practice letting that go and trusting God with it. He has been working on my sleep for years, so much improvement, but more to go. He’s used these verses over and over to remind me to focus on Him in the night, surrender to the Spirit in the night…and now TRUST Him with all my thoughts at night!! Recommend this whole Psalm for anyone struggling, it’s a treasure. ❤ I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:7-8
That was so awesome! In my sleep I often am racing around trying to solve problems. Sometimes they are in a military setting but I retired 13 years ago! Or sometimes I'm trying to solve some insurmountable problem and I'm more anxious in my sleep than I am when I'm awake.
What has helped me alot is listening to abide sleep meditation. I have alot of issues with sleep. So does my dad. But i have to make a decision each night to lay down and not get up to do another chore. Its difficult for me i have always hated sleep since i was a kid i thought it was boring. But throughout the day at work i find my self starving for good rest. I am going to try to get better sleep by working on my sleep hygeine little by little. Thank you for this video. It opened my eyes.
This was great! Thanks for taking the time to speak on this. Some great comments you made and Great things to reflect on. Also, The Sound effects crack me up 😂
2:30 “I just want to go to sleep.” I have said this to myself about 30 times at least in the last 8 months at night. Some nights are better than others
I hope you read this Mark. It has been 2 weeks since I got insommia. I sleep very litle like I doze off and maybe get 1 hour or 2 , i tried the sleeping pills and it migjt give me 3 hours of sleep and thr next day feel horriblr.and depressed. I know it is anxiety. Anyone had this?
(Possible trigger warning about dreams) I was wondering about the subject of "committing sin in dreams", I heard at the beginning of my journey that this is a sin if you have a dream where you commit sin, and I have trouble with anxiety when awake about sleeping and committing sin in dreams - so it is on my mind which in turn makes me more likely to have a dream where I commit sin and then I feel filthy and disgusting when I wake up and apologise and ask for forgiveness during morning prayers. Is sin in dreams an actual sin, how should we deal with this issue?
Hmmm, I deal with this too from time to time. My friend said it's a sin. I think so to because in the dream I've chosen things even though I kinda felt like I could have resisted. But when I wake up, I apologize to God. I also think, "if I was awake, would I have resisted this?" If the answer is no, I repent. But I mainly ask God to help me and protect my heart while I sleep. and He's been faithful to help me.
I had been oversleep for about a month, probably I had been having many thoughts about a guy I met from a party. I also stress out about what clothes to wear, meeting new people and most importantly if I could make any new friends. I don't know how to put thoughts into prayer when it comes to relationships problems. I don't even know if those many thoughts had anything to do with OCD, I had been thinking about that guy for about three months already. I had been arranging some activities for myself and see if I can distract myself, but he still on my mind. I know that may not seems to have much to do with OCD, but having a crush about someone and ended up oversleep does disturb me. What can I do or pray about it?
many of you wouldn't believe but I have almost no sleep in my eyes. I'm crying out to God and blaming myself if I did anything wrong in his eyes. Is God's hand heavy on me? :(
(2Co 11:27) in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness- (Mar 4:15) And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. (Joh 10:10) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Maybe there could be a connection also here for sleepnessness if we read the word often, we can exspect this ore what????
@@chrislim7976 When did Mark look like he was going to cry? I have thought the same in other videos, and I appreciate that level of authenticity, vulnerability, and unashamed expression of his emotions-especially since men are frowned upon for doing so. I could tell in the intro, Mark was very moved with compassion and the pain of sleep issues because he has lived it himself. Moments like these are when I’m extra grateful for the hell that Mark has walked through. He’s not in a distant mansion where our kinds of experiences are completely foreign to him. He’s in the trenches sweating and weeping alongside us.
@@katiesanders96 To be clear. Mark has given some of the best information about very important issues. I just found the cheer track out of sync as I'm listening. Mark does seem very authentic and mental health isn't a light topic so I honestly thought the track was an error.

L-Theanine was a game changer to help prevent overthinking before sleeping.

From sleep deprivation... , the anxious thoughts = anxiety attacks.
I run on hopes, prayers , caffeine ☕.

Me too but I'm 25 years!!!

So we were made for hemostasis÷camel travel.
I'm only getting 2 hours a night, nothing is working
Mark were you taking ambien? Sleep eating is big with that medication
❤Timely
What about if you stay up at night and sleep during the day?
many of you wouldn't believe but I have almost no sleep in my eyes. I'm crying out to God and blaming myself if I did anything wrong in his eyes. Is God's hand heavy on me? :(
How are you now?
@Elle-hx8ji I'm doing fine now. Sometimes it's just too hard for me especially when I'm mentally tormented in my own mind and thoughts.

Are those sound effects intentional?
Yes they are....for humor.
He looks like he going to cry. This must be humor on a totally different level.
