In this video, we’re going to talk in-depth about the relationship between high cortisol and sleep. What is cortisol? Cortisol is a stress hormone that has a lot of different functions with the immune system for countering stress. It’s a survival hormone. *High cortisol can definitely interfere with restful sleep. Between about 12am and 2am, you should have the lowest amount of cortisol. The highest level of cortisol is between 6am and 9 am. But, in some cases, cortisol can get higher during the night and counter deep sleep. You might be sleeping, but you’re not getting deep sleep or restful sleep. There can be a problem with different parts of the brain that are activated and then prevent you from getting restful sleep, all because your cortisol will not turn off. The goal is not to keep cortisol at zero but to help normalize cortisol, so you don’t have anything interfering with your sleep cycles. But, you still need to have the function of cortisol, which is vital.
What to do about high cortisol:
• Figure out what’s causing you stress and do what you can to handle it
• Go for long walks (45-60 minutes every day outside and disconnected)
• Try my do it yourself acupressure technique
What you can take to reduce stress:
• L-tyrosine
• L-theanine
• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Zinc
• GABA
• Ashwagandha
• Magnolia
• NAC
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin B1

I never stop being impressed by Dr Berg
YES! He's an excellent researcher!
Me tooo...
He’s an amazing human being! 🙌🏽
He's my online dr lol. I trust him more than other drs
I HATE waking up at 2 AM. When that happens I know the next day is going to be VERY LONG
I really feel you 😔
I hope you are well now 🙏🤗
I've had Nonrestorative sleep for 41 years. I'm still alive with many symptons. Childhood trauma can be connected to the root cause. Many people chalk it up to working too much when at times they never find the cause so proper treatment never happens. I hope things are a bit better now. Take care...
I wake up at 2:30 sometimes, but I figure that at least I caught that fat burn wave at 2.😂
i just slept from midnight to 3am and it's all over but the crying .. I'm guessing blood sugar and cortisol issues
I have this happen a lot too. But I can many times go back to sleep. Last night took 2 hours or so.
I find that the lowest cortisol levels always occur 5 minutes before the alarm goes off and 5 minutes after I hit the snooze bar.
😂
I woke up at 4am today and saw he released this video a few hours later
I started weeping while watching this video. I’ve been struggling with lack of sleep and high pulse for 3-4 years now. I understand you because of the way you explain this very important information. Cathartic 🕊
Check your Thyroid levels. I suffered from that for months before I kept going back to the doctor and they found out I had hyperthyroidism
I’m suffering from the same problem. I have insomnia for a year. I will check my thyroid. I feel like I have high cortisol and keep waking up with high pulse.
This was a nice thorough presentation.
I do have a correction for you though: L tyrosine is NOT a calming amino acid. On the contrary it is stimulating and it is used directly to make L-Dopa and dopamine, epi and norepi.
Its effects are best felt when you take it on an empty stomach.
If you have ever taken it you will know that it increases your alertness and too much can make you feel kind of panicky.
It has been used by the Air Force in the past to help sleep deprived pilots be stimulated and alert.
It has also been used in addiction medicine as it helps boost the low dopamine that many cocaine addicts have.
Tyrosine can be a helpful compound, but I would definitely recommend NOT taking it past mid afternoon or it can cause insomnia.
As little as 500 mg of L-tyrosine can wake up your brain and boost your alertness. This is just a caution - an FYI for those who have not tried it.
I am a pharmacist and I have researched it quite a bit, and I have also personally taken it on and off for more than 15 years
My only drawback on Keto...no more 8 hours of sleep. More like 6 hour. But, I am feeling rested most days, so I've learned not to be concerned about it.
Getting away from the Toxic people in my life, 4 years ago, totally changed my sleep for the better, 100%. I thoroughly recommend it. 🤗 Thank you for sharing this very important information with us all, & take good care off yourself to. ❤🙂🐶
How did you do it?
@@alconthree8612 This will be a long answer Alex. It firstly took me 18 months to find out that I was dealing with Toxic Emotional Vampires in my Family off origin, with a lot off help from books, websites, & TH-cam, helping me to connect the dots. My hubby & Kids couldn't believe I took so long to leave them, it's been 4 years No-contact, & me, hubby & kids have never been happier. They have no way off interfering with my or my families lives anymore. It isn't easy, it's heartwrenching, but utterly worth it. Hope that made sense. Take care of yourself Alex. ❤🙂🐶
@@maxibake9323 Thank you so much!
@@alconthree8612 Your very Welcome Alex. You don't have to answer me, but if your having a problem with a partner, family member, or work colleague, or anyone that's making you feel sad, just Google Narcissism, & there are tonnes off websites & info on it, you may find that that's what your dealing with. You can survive it. Take care Alex. ❤🙂🐶
@@maxibake9323 YAY for you Maxi!! Yup, cutting Toxic people out of your life is absolutely _essential_ for both physical health and mental clarity and emotional well being!!👊
You explain that cortisol feedback loop so well. I love your football & thermostat analogies. Really helps cement the concepts for me. Thx!
What a gifted teacher you are, sir! Many thanks!!
Again I'm blown away by how Dr. Berg can turn his medical knowledge into informative and accessible videos for all of us.
This man is criminally underrated
I've been waking up at around 1am with my heart racing and having awful nightmares.i can almost feel the cortisol flooding my body and have to get up and eat to get back to sleep.thank you, your videos are helping so much.
Hello Peaches, I've been having the same problem as you. It's been happening every night for the past 3 months. I have attributed it to perimenopause anxiety. After 5 am I can't sleep any more because that's when I start to have severe anxiety. I have been to about 5 different doctors and they have not been able to help me... If I may ask, can you please let me know if there has been anything that has helped you? I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.
@@rubythecraftgirl7097 Dr. Berg says nightmares are caused by a vitamin b deficiency and taking nutritional yeast helps. 👍🏻
Dr. Berg say nutritional yeast can fix that! 😀
@@melanieculver7610 🙏
Take ashwagandha before sleep to lower cortisol and not to wake up so often
Working 2nd or 3rd shift doesn’t help with cortisol levels 🥴
My 26 year old daughter suffers from Anxiety.....cutting out stimulants like Caffeine, and Sugar, Starrted green vegetable Smoothies, takes the minerals and vitamins you mentioned, but gets most from food...and takes Ashwaghanda, and Rhodiola Adaptogens, and it has changed her life.....doing great now, and controls her workplace anxiety.....these really do work!
Can you recommend any sites or books for green vegetable smoothie recipes please? 🙈 thank you x
@@TheReminderChannnel there are many books, and videos on healthy Smoothies.....we use Baby Spinach, Kale, Broccoli.....then we hide the taste with fruit of our choice......delicious....we add a little Cream of Tartar, which is good for Adrenals, and she takes Rhodiola herb, the adaptogen....and Ashwaghanda.....simply changed her life ....no more Anxiety....
Castle Ferrand thank you so much 🙏
@@TheReminderChannnel you are quite welcome!!!!
That was absolutely brilliant, thank you.
Amazing information from an amazing teacher and healer .. absolutely ❤️ love you and your channel.. can’t thank you enough for all that you do by keeping us educated and informed about our health!😊 I can always count on you to give direct no nonsense answers
EXCELLENT INFORMATION, DR. BERG!
Yes it’s happening right now, and that’s why I’m watching this!
Me too, I can't sleep so check my phone and see this vid about not sleeping..... WOW😳👀
same here 1:37am
Thanks for sharing with us loyal subscribers 🤪 have a great day my favourite youtuber!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
I had insomnia in my early twenties. I'd be lucky if I could sleep for 2 hours straight. All I could do was to keep my eyes closed. This had been going on for months and I've tried a lot of things including getting drunk before going to bed. None worked but, one day I found an ad about reprogramming your subliminal (subconscious) mind and they were only asking me for about $30 for the audiotape (yes, it's a tape, not a CD). I was so desperate I bought the tape and listened to it every night. The sound was pleasant. For the first week, nothing happened but I kept listening until I was able to sleep regularly. It took me about 3 months before I could sleep normally. That was 35 years ago. I'm happy that until now I don't have a sleeping problem.
@Bernie SanderZ - I lost the tape a long time ago. I don't remember the name of the tape.
Subliminal messages can contain witchcraft spells in it aswell. For sleep listening to binaural beats or calming music is safe.
@@manny7886 What was the content of the Tape like? Was it sort of calming music or someone speaking affirmations with a soft nice voice?
I want to find something similar. Please let me know. Thank you.
@@odettastyle8660 - Definitely not a human or animal voice or sound. It's hard for me to describe since it sounds like it wasn't a sound produced by an instrument. Not an ocean wave, rain, or thunderstorm sounds. Sorry, I don't know how to describe it.
@@manny7886 So basically, it is a calming sound? Thanks for taking the time to reply. Let me know if you find something similar on YT.
WOW DR BERG THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO AND HARD WORK.
I get plenty of walking done, but someday I'm going to have a day hrs job. Thanks Dr. Berg for the information ~ good morning everyone.
This was very informative. Thank you.
Doc! That example of Coach, QB, Players, coupled with the 'feedback loop' is huge! Makes it so much easier to comprehend. I'm really struggling with this now - did a 2 day fast last week, and a 3 day fast this week. It was brutal this week - waking up at 2 am every night and staying up until 6 AM. Gotta break this, but got to lose the weight - 6'2", 310 lbs.
Thank you Dr Berg this video is going to be life changing for me!!
Thank you Dr Berg, Excellent information very much needed, you are an excellent communicator, your videos help me create a healthy lifestyle and keep me motivated and they are the Best
Thanks for another good Video. Will recommend it, Doc. Kind regards from Germany.
Perfect timing Dr. Berg, thank you. This is happening to me right now because we are buying a house, which is super stressful. Cortisol is no joke!
I currently take your sleep aid formula and it is a big help along with the Valerian that I take. Having watched your videos I'm going to shift my zinc supplementation tonight time and also the l-tyrosine. How much nutritional yeast would you suggest? I love all your products, they are fantastic! And your videos are so instructional and helpful that I never fail to share them with friends!
Very helpful presentation, this amount of knowledge and then represent it understandable for normal people! In my opinion, Dr Berg deserves a life saver medal, but multiplied by thousands or should I say millions. My life has got a new quality since finding his YT channel. Thank you
Excellent video. Thank you so very much!!!!
Thank you so much for help.. I know I'm suffer for high cortisol because I'm stress and depressed I have problem. And now I know I can heal with this wonderful video from you.. Thank you
Hello sir, your videos are amazing! I was wondering if you could include recommended foods as well, after the 'recommended vitamins and nutrients' segment. Or perhaps have side by side visuals of the pills and foods, because right now it might seem like you are recommending pills (visually), even though you're actually recommending foods (verbally). I also think by showing fresh looking foods visually, it will imprint the knowledge onto the viewer, so the next time they are out buying grocery they will recognize the foods and its benefits much easier. Anyhow, thanks for the great videos, they're really helpful 👍
Edit:
To make it even more effective, you could show the amount needed on a daily basis for an average person. So let's say the nutrient you're recommending is found in a tomato (and other alternatives), but all is needed are 3 slices of tomato, and maybe 5 slices of the alternative, so you show just that. This will make the videos even more valuable, and perhaps attract even more people! Of course it will be a lot of work, because you'll have to build a huge database to make it easier and faster to calculate the amount of recommended food 😬
Great video
Thank you Dr. Berg! I am so very grateful that you so freely give your knowledge. Unlike "other" Doctors on TH-cam you are not constantly trying to sell something. Tour advice has changed my life and helped me to lose 110+ lbs! Thank you and God Bless you and your family!!!
Great episode!!
Very informative!
Thanks for the info dr berg
No sleep is the side affect of chronic stress, when all remedies failed, getting rid of stress is the only answer, but it can be hard sometimes like changing your living circumstances.
Crazy how you upload this right when I need the information
Thanks Dr. the adrenaline he described is what I have. When I'm trying to sleep I feel like I have so much energy and could run a marathon and my mind starts racing so fast. It feels like I have so much energy and I lay there for hours trying to fall asleep.
Me as well
do you have a bedtime routine.... journal your concerns, pray, plan the next day, turning off devices, warm bath, listen to soothing music etc?
Happening to me now
Wow! So useful knowledge
Much awaited video Dr Berg, i must appreciate that you have put up the most authentic and comprehensive information on the subject, which other youtubers have given in bits and pieces. ThumbsUp
Wow!! So helpful!! Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Great video thank you 🙏
Thank you Dr Berg. ❤️
For me getting the right amount of light exposure is what helped me with sleeping deeper and being more alert during daytime.
In the morning my philips wake up light alarm starts shining bright light through my closed eyelids 30min before I have to wake up. No more buzzing and feel less groggy. On my PC and phone my blue light filter program automatically starts reducing blue light when bedtime is approaching.
@@Kube_Dog its a program which reduces the blue light coming from your screen. Blue light can make it hard to fall asleep at a specific time because it supresses certain hormones like melatonin.
Your screen will be more yellowish with the program at after a certain time but you will get used to that
@@Kube_Dog windows 10 already has a blue light filter. Press search and type night time. If you then click "set hours" you can decide at what time your blue filter starts working at which is for me 3hours before bedtime and the same goes for my phone. If you dont have one on your pc then you could download flux.
@@AntonioDal. Thank you very much for this info. On my windows 10 this comes under settings then night light settings.
God-bless your heart most doctors or selfish and you're not. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Brilliant info! Thanks so much Dr. Berg!!
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you Sir. Good video.
Thanks Doctor!
long walks peacefully are really appreciated
Doc you are the best !!
Very informative!! Thx Dr berg 🤗
Most welcome!
Thank you Dr. Berg.
Most welcome.
2:31am here in N.Z & watching you Dr. B. stress differently & I'm taking vitamin C & Broccoli ext. 👍😴👋
Thankyou Dr. 👍
Excellent!
Thanks dr. Berg. I wasn't able to sleep in the darkness before but now as i'm doing keto +IF i put my lamps off in the night and i have no worries any more. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and educating us. ❤❤😊😊👍👍
Can’t say thank you enough
till a few months ago, I didn't even know that nutritional yeast existed - now, it's one of my very favorite things to eat ^
Hey Dr. Berg, your videos are amazing! Can you do a video of your opinion on the Wim Hof method? (cold therapy, breathing techniques, and mindset). A lot of people say Wim is a genius when it comes to health, strength and happiness.
So how do 2nd shifters and 3rd shifters deal with this Dr. Berg?
This video is one of the best of your bests! Thank you. Thank you.
Thanks from France.
Thank you so much Dr Berg. Sir i am thankful for your videos. God bless you with more energy to help poor people like me
Awesome video so when do I get my graduation certificate I learn so much its amazing.
I love this man
I will study with you every day ok Doc!.🙏🏴
Hi dr . Thank you alot
Thank you.
You are so welcome!
B1 has helped my husband tremendously with his sleep.
What form does he take it in? Brand?
-@@sarahthomson8183- I know Dr. Berg likes nutritional yeast, but I like the lipodized capsules of B1, known as Benfotiamine. They also help with eye health and with nerve pain, and are better absorbed. I use Vitacost's house brand; it works fine, costs less. I do not notice any help for sleep from it, but it put my serious eye infection into remission in one week and it has stayed that way for a decade. Ashwaghanda and Magnesium Threonate are what helps me with sleep.
@@sarahthomson8183 It's a tiny pill; Whole Foods brand.
What about b6? I heard that is the most important b vitamin for sleep.
I love u doc 😘😘😘 u helped me a lot
Feels like you’ve got eyes on me Berg.. I’ve been having this issue on and off lately. Thanks for another helpful vid!
Same 🤔😂
@@HussRisingYT i've been having it for too long. i'm feeling like a zombie right now
Niko, try removing sugars and milk and grains from your diet and you will sleep better. IF you crave sugar, have a small something right after your evening meal so it's kind of after all your main foods and will be less heavy on the system. Has helped me.
Could you do a video about the supplement MSM? Seems to have many health benefits.
Have one teaspoon of ashwangandha powder added to one glass of hot Milk before u go to bed....thank me later!
Can you take ashwangandha with klonopin?
Fantastic. How much coffee is required to deplete B1? How long does that depletion last?
What foods are needed to follow this ?
Plz do a video on cushing disease!
Hi Dr berg thanks very much for this video on high cortisol n restful sleep, it was so well documented n well explained, it really help me deal with d sleep problem which I was recently experiencing, I was able to identify d source, following d supplementation n most of all n d ashwagandha n d nutritional yeast non fortified ,n I got immediate result n slept better,my stomach was so much calmer . Thanks for your research on this very vital issues, n interventions to treat with them, that cannot b given by d medical doctor. Keep up the good work, give your family my regards ❤
Haha great timing. I was wondering why I can't sleep on the night before an exam. 4am here in NZ and got nearly no sleep and I have an exam later on the day :(
Get the blue light-blocking glasses from Amazon and wear them at night after 7 if you’re constantly on your phone or on the computer. The blue light messes with our natural melatonin, disrupting sleep patterns.
How about rhodiola? Thanks Dr Berg ❤️❤️❤️
Dr Berg, would you please relate this to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system?
Hi Dr. Berg,
Thank you so much for the information given in your video. I would like to tell you that
I have been experiencing a sleep problem for quite sometime and that is, I can't stay asleep for more than 4 ½ hours, without wakening up, weather I go to bed at 10, 12 or 1 am. During this period of time, I do not wake up. I do not have trouble falling asleep at all either. I wonder whether this might have something to do with the cortisol hormone disrupting the sleep cycle, as you mention in your video, or due to low sugar levels after those 4 ½ hours during sleep, or some other factor(s). I am 64, do regular exercise, try to eat healthy avoiding of course, too much carbs or sugar, And in general terms, I do not feel stressed out. I do not even wake up with the urge to urinate despite my age. However, I do like to drink at least two cups of coffee at breakfast time!!
I needed this video!! Thank you again Dr.Berg. #drbergismyfamilydoctor
This video put me to sleep. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
9pm-5 am every night.
10:40 is too late haha
7pm - 3am every night. 9pm is too late. :) lol
Before your holiday visits with the family, consider getting Ashwaganda, GABA, Nutrional Yeast etc.
I wish md. doctors taught like this.
Thank you so much for your support!
-Dr. Berg's support team
I stopped coffee for 1 day and that night I slept so good...ugh I need to quit
Did you get a headache? Have you stopped coffee all together now? How is your sleep now?
I know I had Decades of single mom, poverty Etc High cortisol + sleep apnea which I'm sure sent my cortisol up high. I have a history of being a slender, sometimes skinny, person, but over the last 15 years I started getting belly fat. my last blood lab work which was about 5 months ago, before I started to healthy Keto, My fasting blood lab results( blood was drawn in the morning) showed I had to low cortisol... I'm guessing, as well, that my adrenals are very fatigued as well...?? Thank you!!
I'm not getting the deeper sleep and I'm not stressed because I'm retired, living alone in Peace.- Except for the fact, that I fall asleep and 2 hours later, I'm wide awake at 2 am. Grrrrr! Then, I do get stressed indeed- :-( So this information is really important to me. I will try the Gaba, because I already take the Adrenal Stress formula and Sleep formula and use nutritional yeast. THANK YOU DR. BERG. NO coffee or tea.
Can prolonged fasting improve cortisol resistance? Started Keto and then included Intermittent Fasting and the dawn phenomenon started, never had a single issue sleeping before.
Now down to plateau #1 123lbs but realized had NAFLD since a v young child (H carb diet). Still a lot of fat in the mid-section. Could the nightly visits be related to fat burn (water follows sugar!) as issues are full bladder visit and wake up with overactive thinking. Thanks.
Very interesting
Can you do an updated video on solving/helping hashimoto's?

So does it mean that caffeine free tee does the same by depleting your absorption of Vitamin B1 or is it ok.. Also how often should you take nutritional yeast and how.. Thank you very much
Excellent video, thank you very much. Been taking Ashwagandha for months and as a lifelong insomniac this herb is a miracle to me. I can also attest to the adapting to stress part. I don't lose sleep over things anymore. Let alone the newly gained quality of life by not being tired and exhausted all the time. Highly recommended.
I nearly died this year because of Ashwagandha. When you already have a cortisol resistance lowering cortisol turns on inflammation like crazy. For example, I got hepatitis in a matter of two months. Spending the next 2 months in hospital... The point is: Ashwagandha definitely works but its results may be dangerous.
I'm sorry to hear that. May I ask if you had liver problems prior to taking Ashwagandha and what your dosage was?
Dr.Berg, I take the Adrenal Cortisol Formula because it was recommended. Could this be the reason why I can’t sleep? Thank you for all the good information.
Watching this after not have a restful sleep last night haha thanks for the video Dr. Berg
