- Most people don't know that having proper levels of vitamin B is one of the keys to quality, deep sleep. But very few people are talking about it! In fact, there is a ton of research to show that B vitamins have some incredible benefits to our sleep and the overall processes in our body. B vitamins release energy from carbohydrates and fat; they help break down amino acids; and they deliver oxygen and energy to different parts of the body.
And if you're feeling tired all of the time, you very well could be experiencing a B12 deficiency. So join Dr. Michael Breus as he explains why B12 and B6 vitamins are so important for your overall health, and why it's one of the underrated keys to getting quality sleep. He discusses how you can get B vitamins from your food, the proper dosage for supplements, and what the why the lack of B vitamins in your body can have some serious consequences for your sleep.

I've taken b6 and b12 it gives me energy during the day but I can't sleep at all the night I take it
My husband and I took B12 for a long time… got tested and we both had real high levels of B12. We both had to stop for several months, and now we just take it once a week.
It's always important to talk with your doctor first before starting ANY vitamin or supplement.
It's a myth that people think that both vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 are water soluble vitamins and our body will excrete the excess. Well, WRONG! They accumulate in our body. Excess accumulation of vitamin B6 can cause peripheral neuropathy (such as numbness in the toes, tongue, and lips.)
B12 is water soluble so it should come down pretty quick. Likely a few days
@@brandonyoung4910 Well, not really!
• Storage in the Liver: Unlike most water-soluble vitamins, the body can store significant amounts of vitamin B12, primarily in the liver. These stores can last for 3-5 years, even if you stop consuming the vitamin. This provides a buffer against deficiency in case of dietary changes or temporary absorption issues.
• Limited Excretion: Although excess B12 is eventually excreted through urine, the process is inefficient. This means even large doses taken orally (supplements) are largely tolerated with no harmful effects.
It's odd. I found that my two comments got deleted for no apparently reason. I was just trying to point out that both vitamin b6 and b12 can accumulate in our body even they are water-soluble. Probably the comment is not welcome here.
Hello doctor.. What do you recommend to treat essential tremor disease? It is not Parkinson’s disease.. When I stand on a stage or face people, my body trembles, my heart rate increases, I sweat a lot, and I have difficulty speaking.. Can you help?
How do you do your lucid dream thanks
I take B12 sublingual tablets. Where do you get 2.4 mcg's from? Most of what I see on the market has thousands of micrograms per tablet. I take it just once per week because of this.
I do wake up at 3:40 4 am almost every morning regardless of how tired I am when I go to bed. So it could be too much B12. Where do you get the smaller doses you are referring to?
when I take vitamin B can’t sleep.
I think I just figured that out. I started taking multivitamins with b6 and b12. The last 2 nights I haven't been able to sleep at all. Going to stop taking them and see if I can finally sleep at night again.
@@Rachie-nj3oi I have tried and tested individual supplements, however, solgar chelated magnesium helps me to fall asleep, but I don’t take it every night. I think sometimes body needs a break from everything. You can try that .
Folic acid causes that in me
I think I need B supplements. Problem is I don't eat in the mornings. So if I take it mid day when I eat that might keep me awake. 😮
It's a good idea to visit your doctor first and get your levels tested! Your doctor will also be able to help you figure out the best time of day to take any vitamins or supplements for both you and your sleep schedule.

Sad. Frustrating. We are on our own now. 💘
@@debbiechadwick861bad shortage. Can't get your treatment in a timely manner. Waiting for surgery is months out. You could die by then.

I enjoy your presentations HOWEVER there is verified research saying HIGHER amounts it can actually cause neuropathy symptoms.
Tingling / pins and needles . Something that perhaps SHOULD be mentioned
Since I've been taking B12 my neuropathic symptons have impoved/decreased
However I am experiencing lucid dreams
