As an insomniac for 20+ years, I so resonate with this. Drives me insane when people suggest melatonin and lavender and bananas and sh*t. Oh thanks yeah, I needed you to bring this to my attention, like I haven't tried it all in those two decades. 🤔 What really works: Routine that involves sunlight and movement in the morning (or these special blue light glasses when the weather is sh*t). In the evenings put on glasses that block blue light. Regular breathwork sessions where you let out all your built up tension. This works for me like 70% whenever I can establish and hold on to the routine with these things in it. But yeah, life, right? For the times that I can't, thank Goddess for pills. 😅
I have trouble sleeping AND I'm scared of the dark AND complete silence freaks me out. So when somebody gives me a tip of "complete dark and quite" I just wanna scream at them. It's like telling someone to lose weight by eating food they're allergic to
in all honesty, blue light blockers are a scam, that's just the placebo effect kicking in. but a routine is absolutely CRITICAL. i wake up at the same time every morning and i go to bed at the same time every night. i lay down in the same position. and if it takes me more than 10 minutes to fall asleep, i start lucid dreaming. which is pretty much just daydreaming but about the kind of boring generic shit that dreams tend to start out as... walking through a lush field with a gentle breeze, watching fluffy white clouds swirl overhead, sitting down in the shade of a tall oak tree and stretching my legs out so my toes peek into the sunlight, feeling the warmth seep into my skin and prickle through my veins. also white noise. because nobody's room can actually be truly quiet, so next best thing is a dull consistent wooshing sound like from an air purifier. keeps the tinnitus from ramping up to fill the auditory void.
When I really can’t sleep, like, manic episode wakefulness, I lay in bed, turn on the tv, leave my lights on, leave my glasses on, don’t change into pajamas, and say to myself; “I’m just going to relax. I’m not trying to fall asleep, but if I get tired, I can sleep if I want.” If always works. I usually have MST3K as the show I’m watching, but basically anything will do.
It was relatively common for women of my great-great grandmother's generation and older, to boil poppy seeds in milk and have kids who had trouble sleeping…
I watch the TH-cam channel veritasium has all these hour(s) long episodes and they talk about stars and planets and stuff and the guy who is speaking has such a calm and deep British voice that it's just puts me in right to sleep.
educational youtube videos never fail to make me drowsy. also the channel "unseen," true crime but the narrator's voice is so velvety smooth and relaxing sometimes i fall asleep at my computer
if any of Taylor's assistants read this, she night already know these things: Bob Ross is a great thing to listen to to fall asleep. and dormi headphones are hard to swallow ^_~
I learned about sleeping upside down in the bed, it sometimes works for me.. and definitely sleep alone, unless youre really happy in a relationship, but that usually doesnt last. then more sleep problems
The Army in WWII worked on sleep because they needed pilots to be able to sleep at any and all times. Google the process they developed for the pilots. Supposedly it's the best process ever devised for sleep.
5:02 you mention "A lot of children don't have beds" My dad died when I was 2 and I guess I was a bother at night, and my mom threatened that she was going to sell my bed, I think there was a book to help kids stay in their own bed I have a distinct memory of a bed fleeing down a series of animated rolling hills.
I so want to see her live. She may very well be The Funniest Person right now. But I'm going to try and sit way way wayyyyyyyyyy in the back. And hope she doesn't notice me. No raising ofhands. And I did that a lot in school. My teachers were not this funny. :\
I have one if it's your overthinking that keeps you up: Don't resist the thoughts. Just go along for the ride. I don't know if it'll work for everyone, but it settled 30 years of insomnia for me.
What countries? Where? Are we talking like East Asia, Mediterranean, South America, where? Genuinely curious because I've never heard of this and I wanna know the climates of these places.
@GwenActually I’m czech (Central Europe), it’s pretty common to leave your baby in a stroller in the garden for their nap (ideally somewhere where you can see them through the window tho)
Maybe in the 1800s. Nowadays your going too jail. Norway is the only country I know of that would. Any other countries, that's just child being abandoned, not being left out to enjoy the air. Go on, name these "Alot of countries " that you know do it...
Most nights I can fall asleep after having wine. But sometimes I need more than that and have to take Benadryl, passion flower tea, and/or skullcap tablets. And sometimes I do all of those things so I start cleaning to maybe get out energy. If I still can't sleep, I play some mindless phone games and honestly now that's what I do first. Nothing gets me asleep faster than playing hexasort 😂
I had serious insomnia for years. Saw an Ayurvedic food practitioner. She said I need more Veda. Anyway no more raw vegetables. Slept through the night ever since. Wtf
Eat a bunch of carbs (like a bowl of pasta) and then take a hot shower. Alternatively, I've given foot massages and my partners fall asleep shortly after.
5:30 Taylor, you should know better than to trust google. Harry Potter (and many others) may have said it, but its from Buddha. Buddhist tenets are all about the flavors of suffering and what to do about it.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really like her very much and don’t find her very funny normally, but this clip is pretty damn good. This is some funny shit for sure.
I just don't sleep. I don't know why i just decided to do something. Watch a movie, play a video game. I couldn't sleep and be miserable tomorrow anyway so i would at least do something anyway.
Ok. I have 3. 1.Count ur heartbeat 2.Start daydreaming 3.Lay face down on ur pillow, like chest and face down n basically stay like that till you need to breath then go back to norm sleep position
If not asleep by 20 minutes, get up go to the common area (living room or whatever you call it), lay on the floor covered with a light blanket and then read a book and get cold.
Go and lay in your or on your bed and tell your self your not getting any sleep tonight and watch Star Trek. I do like Star Trek but yeah or golf also has the same vibe. You're welcome.
Listen to an episode of the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre podcast… you’ll never make it to the end and will have to listen to it again in the morning, to find out how the story turns out.
What's with the minute of bad music at 5:35. Is this where I'm supposed to self-reflect or is this some TH-cam hack and she's found a new way to game the algorithm? It's in all of Mrs. Taylor's posts lately. Or is this even TT's official channel? What's the deal, pickle?
And did Taylor Tomlinson actually build her own time machine just to travel back to the year 2015 and create a channel named 'Mrs. Taylor 2024'? It's all Very, VERY suspect!!! Doesn't she care at all about the risks of a chronological paradox. Has she even heard of the 'Butterfly Effect'? It's just reckless on her part. What if she killed her own grandfather? Then where would we be. That's it - I'm calling the TH-cam police dept. to report a possible timecrime! Accountability!!!
Holy 💩 really?! This is not sarcasm, this is a genuine reaction because I coincidentally not too long ago switched to fluoride-filtering my water at home for other reasons It didn't even occur to me until reading this comment that you know what, DC? It _works._ Had no idea I would, but I am sleeping better. Even when I'm not getting enough sleep because two jobs sometimes means I only have time for a nap, I genuinely haven't "dragged a**" since I don't remember when I didn't realize that was the reason (at least in part. I've also made dietary changes, but again, I wasn't having trouble sleeping) Neat
Taylor, my weird sleep tip, now hear me out, invite me over- I'll backrub/ footrub you after a hot bath. I'll bet you it works. Sounds creepy, it's not, let me help you.❤

I listen to psychological horror novels at a low volume with exactly one light on. Works like a charm.
Wtf is wrong with you? 😂😂😂
@brontiq It's a much simpler form of fear than an employee performance review.
Rain and/or thunderstorm sounds works for me.
When I really can’t sleep, like, manic episode wakefulness, I lay in bed, turn on the tv, leave my lights on, leave my glasses on, don’t change into pajamas, and say to myself; “I’m just going to relax. I’m not trying to fall asleep, but if I get tired, I can sleep if I want.” If always works. I usually have MST3K as the show I’m watching, but basically anything will do.
nothing helps as much as telling myself: I am going to stand up in 10 minutes. Cannot sleep now.
LOVE this chick!
It was relatively common for women of my great-great grandmother's generation and older, to boil poppy seeds in milk and have kids who had trouble sleeping…
Milk of the poppy, like in Game of Thrones!

she is sooooo good,
She fucking kills it
The Army in WWII worked on sleep because they needed pilots to be able to sleep at any and all times. Google the process they developed for the pilots. Supposedly it's the best process ever devised for sleep.
Watching Cinematic Titanic version of "The Alien Factor" Puts me to sleep every time I try to watch it. No matter when.
4:56 When I had growing pains as a kid my parents would make me go stand on the kitchen floor.
Create abstract things to visually look at while you're awake
Omg I do this. Or I design full buildings in my head.
5:02 you mention "A lot of children don't have beds" My dad died when I was 2 and I guess I was a bother at night, and my mom threatened that she was going to sell my bed, I think there was a book to help kids stay in their own bed I have a distinct memory of a bed fleeing down a series of animated rolling hills.

0:49 Plenty of countries put their babies outside to sleep
not in the city
What countries? Where? Are we talking like East Asia, Mediterranean, South America, where? Genuinely curious because I've never heard of this and I wanna know the climates of these places.
@@GwenActually Is the baby in a hammock to avoid getting eaten? I want to know what animals are outside.
@GwenActually I’m czech (Central Europe), it’s pretty common to leave your baby in a stroller in the garden for their nap (ideally somewhere where you can see them through the window tho)

vick's vapo rub on your feet, wooly socks over top, and go to bed.

What is a Harry Potter prequel? Big fan, not kidding!
The Fantastic Beasts and where to find them I guess
I’ll be honest, I don’t really like her very much and don’t find her very funny normally, but this clip is pretty damn good. This is some funny shit for sure.
I just don't sleep.
I don't know why i just decided to do something. Watch a movie, play a video game. I couldn't sleep and be miserable tomorrow anyway so i would at least do something anyway.
Odd advice: You're already on medication for bipolar - ask your dr if you can add an anti-psychotic with an enormously sedative side-effect.
Not weird, but cannabis indica works for me.
Indica makes me paranoid, I could never fall asleep on it. I would be convinced there was something in my closet. lol
Ok. I have 3.
1.Count ur heartbeat
2.Start daydreaming
3.Lay face down on ur pillow, like chest and face down n basically stay like that till you need to breath then go back to norm sleep position
If not asleep by 20 minutes, get up go to the common area (living room or whatever you call it), lay on the floor covered with a light blanket and then read a book and get cold.
I didn’t even know that she was gonna say that.
I can't get through the movie "Metropolis" (the old black and white movie). It bores me into REM.
My sleep tip i have make some milk honey and cinnamon warm it up and drink it. it will put you straight to sleep
Go and lay in your or on your bed and tell your self your not getting any sleep tonight and watch Star Trek. I do like Star Trek but yeah or golf also has the same vibe. You're welcome.

Melatonine is a wonder drug.
Sleep with headphones playing your favourite songs

Eat a banana before bed

Fuck. I do sleep on cold hard surfaces....

You want sleep tips? Try SLEEPING PILLS 💊
She's already on medication for bipolar. Maybe she doesn't want to take more.
Oh yeah, we’ve never heard of those.
Cover your feet it.might help
Hands down best sleep advice, get rid if the fluoride. Fluoride free toothpaste and in the water. Takes a couple of weeks, but works.
Holy 💩 really?! This is not sarcasm, this is a genuine reaction because I coincidentally not too long ago switched to fluoride-filtering my water at home for other reasons

Neat
I have been prescribed toothpaste with extra fluoride by my dentist. I have no sleeping issues and I’m 75 years old.
