My problem is I can't sleep at those important hours because I'm too anxious about not being able to fall asleep during them. What should I do about it?
marisa liu watch your thoughts, the emotions created by then and leave them untouched. Do not try to fight with your thoughts. Let them dissolve by simply watching them IF YOU WANT. While you are in bed the most powerful advice I ve found is to do nothing. How to do nothing? Search on youtube for shinzen young - how to do nothing
How do you know those hours are important ? If you believe those hours are important, you will fear to not fall asleep during those hours. The truth is, no hours are more or less important than others. Address your thoughts. In the story of your life, how do you know what hours is going to bring you better things or worst things ? How do you know ? Maybe by staying awake at those hours, you will have an idea that is going to benefit you in the long run. The idea with falling asleep is to not engage with anything in your head. Do not create a fight in your head with your thoughts. Just let them be. Do not try to stop your negative thoughts as well. Accept negative thoughts. Everything is temporary. Your negative thoughts will pass. In the long run, how do you know that negative thoughts will have a negative effect on your life ? Nobody knows. We like to think we know what is best in our life because we like to hang on control. Control is an illusion. Life is a mystery and nobody knows how life is going to unfold next no matter how much control you think you have. Maybe you could listen carefully to your body. To love your body, you have to carefully understand your body. I like to have camomille tea with honey and I like to read to learn new things before falling asleep. I guess it's acting like a distraction before I try to fall asleep but, I don't know if those things are good for you.
Here's the thing I get really paranoid when I close my eyes and my vision gets darker and darker and feel my body shutting down to which I force myself to wake up.
Maddie C dude I'm scared actually. Since I'm extremely terrified of being schiznophrenic my Brian is making me think about bad things and scary things and acts like there's another voice in my head when it's just me. Ugh OCD thoughts sucks.
Hello just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and I just love the way you explain In details and way for us to understand 😊 Also, love your sense of humor lol you crack me up when you say "well you wouldn't be watching this video if you???? " HaHaHa 😂 Nevertheless, thank you and I look forward to up coming videos ! Oh lastly want to say your videos have helped me tremendously it has helped my relationship and my mind thank you so much 😊
I have a problem. Whenever it is time to go to bed, I dread sleeping. I feel like sleeping is basically forcing myself to escape the presence of my body until I wake up. It is the most terrifying experience anyone could imagine. Does this happen to anybody else?? Pls help.
Same happening to me sometimes! In my religion Islam, we believe that sleeping is another type of death, and I think it's connected somehow to this fear of getting sleep sometimes.
Noah, I thank you for being the person to finally show me what I've been looking for since I left elementary school. My happiness. Turns out it was never gone. I was only being attentive to negative thoughts. And after disbelieving them, the result is hard to believe ;) Thank you.
+Noah Elkrief hi I'm 18 year old girl. 3 weeks ago I started being in my head and not being able to sleep. I wake up like 2 to 3 times in the middle of the Night. It's like I'm sleep thinking. before all of this started my doctor told me that I'm stressed and from that day I lost my appetite and my sleep and I'm in my head. I missed sleeping for long lol so what do I do?
hey Noah I don't know if thisll reach you but... ever since school finished, my life went through some seriously hard times and requesting for many counselors and got nowhere during impossible times in my life. That's how I found your channel and to some degree probably kept me alive. I watch all your vids, am reading your book. thanks for offering it free that day, very kind. just wanted to say that ever since I discovered your advice , I've been working on my thoughts and I feel soo much happier. every dam. day. other peoples problems are easy to spot the thought errors. I feel much more at peace and its just the beginning. thank you. from Canada
I love the point that you hit on: we don't know what is best in our lives. It's easy to oversimplify things, but the reality is that our lives are complex, and even actions which we assume are unhelpful or unproductive, need to be examined. Thanks for all of your time and effort.
Very strange situation happened to me. I could not sleep last night, every time I was about to fall asleep I would get panic attack and wake up completely. It was terrible. Than I just let it be and thought maybe it’s for a reason and at that time I did finally fall asleep. This morning my relative told me of a tragedy that happened to my family member back in my home country. It happened during the time I could not sleep. Me not sleeping was my intuition talking and there was a reason behind my lack of sleep. Sometimes the lack of sleep can be for a reason - as is being mentioned in the video. Beautiful Video!
I dont know how often you read these or if you even do read these but id just like to say thank you so much, your videos have been amazingly helpful with dealing with my crippling anxiety and agoraphobia enough so that i could get out of my house and book myself into sessions for CBT to aid my journey to get rid of anxiety permanently. Sincerely THANK YOU from a random person you have never met in the UK.
I've been having anxiety driven sleeping problems for a couple of years. After watching this video I went from a night of no sleep to a night of about 6 hours. Thanks so much Noah. I will continue to watch your videos.
The most amazing therapist I ever had! (even thou he is the first one I never met). Noah you are so clever and have such a high EQ. You help me so much in my life fighting against Anxiety and also helping me to look for what is really important in Life "Peace of mind" as you also said on another video. I thought many times about having a Therapy session with you but one would never be enough for all my issues and many hours i could never afford. If one day I can, I swear I will look for you because your are exceptional and the unic person that calm me down. I only can say THANK YOU Noah! Hugs from Germany!!!
Thanks a lot Noah!!! I'm literally in tears right now, coz.. It's been 8 months now, I'm suffering from chronic insomnia. I've become used to this, I try to calm myself down, but as I get into the bed, my heart starts beating fast.. And sometimes I get so afraid, that I end up staying awake for a couple of hours. 😥
It was an interesting analogy that we can't sleep because our mind is "busy" similarly to not being able to sleep when our body is busy or active. I think it would be helpful to know ways to help the mind relax. I started listening to these videos on my iphone while trying to get to sleep. As Noah says in other videos- when we are distracted we aren't focusing on worry some thoughts. Apparently then our mind relaxes, sleep follows. The next part of this video suggests that not getting enough sleep may not be problematic. I think both research and experience refutes this. When I'm rested it increases my energy, resilience and emotional strength to handle situations.
Thank you so much, I couldn't stand it at first but it really was just a symptom of the issue Now it's so much easier to address I can't thank you enough
I have problems sleeping, so I will let you know how this goes, either I sleep too much, or too little, been going on for along time. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your time your videos are very informative and helpful i am a bad insomniac when i first seen your i instantly would go to sleep now its been 2 months im back to square one.No sleep for days.
I am struggling to stay asleep. I wake up with anxiety and struggle to fall back asleep. But I noticed you called yourself an insomniac and I would say as long as you believe that you ARE an insomniac you will have trouble sleeping. You have to change that story...
I have aniexty and in my mind it says 'I need to sleep with my parents ' and sometimes i cry while thinking about things I told my mom and I have a therapist but I don't think it s going well
Hello Noah, just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and advices, I just watched few and its been really helpful to me, your great. Keep up the good work. Thank you again
@Noah Elkrief Hi, Noah. What if the thoughts are along the lines of "if I don't sleep I'm going to get sick"? Or "maybe I'll get dementia because doctors say insomnia is linked to Alzheimer's," or thoughts like that? How do you challenge those thoughts when you believe they are based on objective data and facts?
Thank you so much for your clever ideas. I love it and I am going to try this. I hope really bad insomnia I find really hard to fall in sleep but I am going to try your trick I am sure definitely is going to work thank you again and again.
Noah what do you do if the thoughts that are keeping you awake at night have to do with fear of sleep? In particular, worrying about things like sleep paralysis?
Here's one for ya. I actually lay there telling myself I don't want to fall asleep because then I have to wake up and start over. Not that I'm starting over anything BAD. Tomorrow's not much different than today. I'm just not looking forward to it so I end up staying awake entirely too long.
Noah I would love to see you make a video on how to overcome addictions. All your videos are very helpful and I think it would help many people as many are impacted by it.
thank you Noah, it is amazing how my mind can be so one tracked! your insight to thinking has really helped me. i think it will take a lot of practice for me to remember to question, etc...what has really helped me, is when i get worried about work, now when i ask myself do i really know if it would be better to stay here, or is there another outcome that would be better? and when i get to the "i don't know" part of my thoughts (even apart from work) it puts me at ease for awhile. or practicing not to look outside of myself for happiness. you are helping one of the biggest black and white thinkers here :)
I can’t sleep at night because i keep thinking that i HAVE to sleep right now and then my mind just thinks of other things and gets distracted. My mind would then remind myself again that i have to sleep in the middle of those thoughts. Then the same thing would keep happening until I’m not sleepy anymore. The next thing i know, it’s 3 or 4 in the morning. Then i just put on relaxing music that rarely works on me. Most of the time, it really doesn’t.
I need 7 hours of sleep to function fully, I figured this out through years of experimenting, if I get less than 4 hours I will pass out sometime the next day, if I get between 4 and 6 hours of sleep I will still be able to function but will feel sick, if I get more than 7 hours I will be too relaxed the next day and unable to focus
Hi Noah. I have Bipolar disorder and have a lot of trouble sleeping, no matter how relaxed I am mentally. Do you have any thoughts. Your videos are so helpful! thank you ;)
I really love your videos, your advices, you peaceful tone. Those topics mean a lot to me. Thank you for creating this content, it really helps a lot of people.
Noah your videos have really helped me! I would like to make a video request: how do we deal with past trauma? I just can't seem to get over a particular event in the past which really traumatised me to the point of nightmares.
Noah, you need to do a video on how to get over my crush on you haha you're so handsome and charming. But seriously, your videos helped me a lot. For about a year I was unable to relax for even a second. Not even sleep was an escape. So many negative anxious thoughts consumed me. I had forgotten what it feels like to be calm. I tried several therapists to no avail. But after implementing your thought process, I'm in control of my thoughts. I'm able to say "this thought doesn't matter" or "isn't true", shut it out and go on with my life. I no longer dwell on things. It's a great way to live.
noah you are cool mn actually i almost watch all ur vedios i'm changed 100% i always feel that i'm not like other people i just changed my mind after listening to your lessons
I wish this was me but I think deeply and constantly about everything and I talk a lot. Sorting out some new realizations and evolving to a new consciousness is causing this for me I believe.
After watching so much of your videos I sometimes even manage to ask myself the question "how do I know if..." if I feel anxious and worried - so thank u again and just wanna letting you know :) - although I kinda seem to be a very anxious and worried person in general, but well never mind^^
Hey Noah. Your videos helped me understand myself better and confront some thoughts that always have been on my mind. Emmm...maybe it sounds funny, but Im actually serious about it...can you do a video about how to deal with lazyness? Or how to overcome it? That would be really cool. I hope you understand what Im trying to say ...Im from Europe and my english its not always perfect. Thank you.
I get the idea. I believe it comes from eastern philosophies. I've experimented with it many times myself and sometimes it worked and other times it didn't. It is true that we never truly know what the outcome is going to be, and it is true that we can make a conscious choice to use the uncertainty to our advanatge and choose to believe that good things will come. With that being said this idea contradicts the scientific approach. Scientifically speaking there are patterns to behaviors and consequences, and there are ways to reasonably predict the future based on our past experiences (which is a crucial survival mechanism). There is also scientific evidence supporting many of the fears we have (i.e. not getting enough sleep). I find it to be a great challenge to balance these two seemingly opposing approaches.
Whenever I close my eyes my mind just shows an image and it won’t go away and it keeps me awake because my mind is focused on the movement of the image.
Noah thank you for helping me out i could never sleep with to many things in my mind i recently broke up with this girl that i loved and cherished and i thought it was the end for me but after watching all your depression videos i realized that I'm not alone and that i shouldn't put myself down because of one heart break the only thing that is still on my mind that i cant take out is why do i feel so angry when i see her with other guys i mean I'm over her but why do i care and its effecting my life in highschool i cant concentrate without looking at her teasing me with other guys i just need to know what to do because once that happens i become sad and depressed and sometimes full on anger and i go to the bathroom just to punch a wall and i don't want to but i don't know any other way to just take out my emotions what should i do please reply its been effecting me so much i just need someone to give me advise
My problem is I can't sleep at those important hours because I'm too anxious about not being able to fall asleep during them. What should I do about it?

Omg I feel that way too
not to be rude but that was one of the thing he talked about in the video
I cry to my mum about the same thing
and i ve realised i ll never fall asleep once more... People who have no problem falling asleep have a massive advantage
Thomas Basílio I wish I didn’t have a problem it would help a lot
They are luckiest men on earth
vineet nagavi fr I rather have something way terrible happen then getting anexity about sleep I been asking god for help but he hasn’t helped ;(
Here's the thing I get really paranoid when I close my eyes and my vision gets darker and darker and feel my body shutting down to which I force myself to wake up.
I get really paranoid like my eyes are closed for hours and i still havent fallen asleep.
Same!
I could use this comment to explain
please reply to me, are you still suffering this?
@@Peter-qp7vc hello please response, do u still suffering this?
sometimes its not even my thoughts that keep me awake its actually my subconcious mind :(
strengthen your self control
Maddie C dude I'm scared actually. Since I'm extremely terrified of being schiznophrenic my Brian is making me think about bad things and scary things and acts like there's another voice in my head when it's just me. Ugh OCD thoughts sucks.
Maddie C that's why I need to stop researching shit. If I read something scary online I believe it
Maddie C me too

Noah is an angel. He helps me heal my anxiety and depression.
It is a beautiful thing

You are my favorite person on youtube. Because of your anxiety videos I was able to overcome my anxiety that I had.
Glad to hear you overcame your anxiety! I'm still having a load of problems :( What was the key for you in the end?
Rebecca Rush
Yeah please tell us, because it's still a struggle for me =(
It is just thought,you don't worry about it.

The very best thing to consider is “I DON’t KNOW”. Thank you so much sir Noah. This is very much relaxing.

Jessie Brandt
This is awesome! I hope this happens to me tonight ♡
I love this guys perspective. It goes way beyond sleep, and starts centering around the mindset of happiness.
I love your channel! Whenever I have a problem I go on your channel and find the answer. Keep up the good work!
TheBradolf Glad to hear it Brad
TheBradolf likewise

Aryellish You're welcome Aryellish! I'm glad I could be of some help for free!
Thanks a lot Noah!!! I'm literally in tears right now, coz.. It's been 8 months now, I'm suffering from chronic insomnia.
I've become used to this, I try to calm myself down, but as I get into the bed, my heart starts beating fast.. And sometimes I get so afraid, that I end up staying awake for a couple of hours. 😥
Now that I think about it, I am more productive with less sleep and I never thought about that until I watched this video!
Thanks Noah!

Who else feels like when there trying to sleep and think and something it’s like being in a different world
I simply love you! Not sure if I'm gonna be able to sleep now..but you must know that I think that your ideas are simple yet super effective.
SUPER SATURDAYS WITH NOAH ELKRIEF
GuitarHickNick :)
I cant fall asleep after watching this video, you are in my mind now Noah 😘
Thank you so much, I couldn't stand it at first but it really was just a symptom of the issue
Now it's so much easier to address I can't thank you enough
I have problems sleeping, so I will let you know how this goes, either I sleep too much, or too little, been going on for along time. Thanks for the video.
This was really helpful. Struggling with racing thoughts at night.

You are literally the best for anxiety controlling
Thank you for your time your videos are very informative and helpful i am a bad insomniac when i first seen your i instantly would go to sleep now its been 2 months im back to square one.No sleep for days.
I am struggling to stay asleep. I wake up with anxiety and struggle to fall back asleep. But I noticed you called yourself an insomniac and I would say as long as you believe that you ARE an insomniac you will have trouble sleeping. You have to change that story...
Noah you are GORGEOUS and so lovely to listen to. So calming
***** Thanks :)
God bless you, Noah. Thank you for taking time out of your day to help people. I hope this helps others as well.
I've only looked at two of your videos, but so far I think you really make a lot of sense
Yesterday I fell asleep so late and I’ve been stressed about it happening again but this is really calming
Whenever I feel a little stress, I'll come to your video. They really helps to calm down my mind at that point of time👍🏼
I have aniexty and in my mind it says 'I need to sleep with my parents ' and sometimes i cry while thinking about things I told my mom and I have a therapist but I don't think it s going well
Totally not me: watching this when I’m supposed to be sleeeping
I needed this because I overthink a lot
Hello Noah, just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and advices, I just watched few and its been really helpful to me, your great. Keep up the good work. Thank you again
@Noah Elkrief Hi, Noah. What if the thoughts are along the lines of "if I don't sleep I'm going to get sick"? Or "maybe I'll get dementia because doctors say insomnia is linked to Alzheimer's," or thoughts like that?

Thank you so much for your clever ideas. I love it and I am going to try this. I hope really bad insomnia I find really hard to fall in sleep but I am going to try your trick I am sure definitely is going to work thank you again and again.

i just love his soothing voice...
No rush just asking, but when is your next video coming out?
Noah I would love to see you make a video on how to overcome addictions. All your videos are very helpful and I think it would help many people as many are impacted by it.
2CSST2 Yes, I will be making a video on addictions for sure. I am waiting for the moment where I really feel it is the right time to make it.
I haven't gotten good sleep in 2 weeks!! Thanks.
Thank you!
My friend..thank you! simple but effective and interesting.
I constantly have songs stuck in my head when I'm asleep and I try to sleep but I keep hearing that song in my head.
Ethan 345 I used to have that problem, I’d recommend meditation or reading
thank you Noah, it is amazing how my mind can be so one tracked! your insight to thinking has really helped me. i think it will take a lot of practice for me to remember to question, etc...what has really helped me, is when i get worried about work, now when i ask myself do i really know if it would be better to stay here, or is there another outcome that would be better? and when i get to the "i don't know" part of my thoughts (even apart from work) it puts me at ease for awhile. or practicing not to look outside of myself for happiness. you are helping one of the biggest black and white thinkers here :)
Sandy Masterson You're welcome Sandy. Glad that it's helping you. Yes, it's all about recognizing that we don't know.
I can’t sleep at night because i keep thinking that i HAVE to sleep right now and then my mind just thinks of other things and gets distracted. My mind would then remind myself again that i have to sleep in the middle of those thoughts. Then the same thing would keep happening until I’m not sleepy anymore. The next thing i know, it’s 3 or 4 in the morning. Then i just put on relaxing music that rarely works on me. Most of the time, it really doesn’t.

What you say is so helpful. I listen to this to get a real perspective when I have anxious thoughts about sleep. Thank you so much
Que lindo i love the way you talk how you smile while you talk
The 5 steps site helped me a lot, I wasn't able to sleep because of my thoughts and now I think I understand something... Try it
Saint Bear what are the steps?
Noah your calm voice puts me to sleep so I guess the vid worked :)
WhisperWanderer :)
just came across this dude for first time , very good he is too , brilliant
great videos, thank you so much for everything, please continue doing more videos like this, big hugs
This really helped ! Thank you!
Noah, you are the best. Thanks for uploading this great videos.
Hi Noah,
Do you think you can do a video on Lust, or wanting something you don't need.
Hi Noah. I have Bipolar disorder and have a lot of trouble sleeping, no matter how relaxed I am mentally. Do you have any thoughts. Your videos are so helpful! thank you ;)
I really love your videos, your advices, you peaceful tone. Those topics mean a lot to me. Thank you for creating this content, it really helps a lot of people.
Noah you are amazing , thank you for being alive !
Noah your videos have really helped me! I would like to make a video request: how do we deal with past trauma? I just can't seem to get over a particular event in the past which really traumatised me to the point of nightmares.
SisterA A Yes, soon, I will be doing all my video topics again, but this time how to deal with it if it comes from a trauma.
thank you! will be waiting for your upcoming video and thanks for helping us all :)
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for being there for me
I try to sleep but the night light makes me nervous sometimes and I don’t like the lights off sometimes sometimes I get used to it
Noah, you need to do a video on how to get over my crush on you haha you're so handsome and charming. But seriously, your videos helped me a lot.

I'm able to say "this thought doesn't matter" or "isn't true", shut it out and go on with my life. I no longer dwell on things. It's a great way to live.
You helped me with my first really really hard break up, now sleep!
Really interesting advice! I`ll try this out for sure. Thanks
a lot for sharing this Noah.

terriesmith1981 Glad to hear it terrie
I wish this was me but I think deeply and constantly about everything and I talk a lot. Sorting out some new realizations and evolving to a new consciousness is causing this for me I believe.
this is gold
Thank you, much appreciated. Noah
I love your videos so much!
Your voice is very calming and you certainly know what you're talking about :)
This deserve more views.
Thanks Noah!Im going to try this tonight we will see how it goes
Your amazing! Ty for your videos!
After watching so much of your videos I sometimes even manage to ask myself the question "how do I know if..." if I feel anxious and worried - so thank u again and just wanna letting you know :) - although I kinda seem to be a very anxious and worried person in general, but well never mind^^
Engelberg You're welcome Engelberg

zZZzzZzzZzzzzzzzzzzz
This was a great video! It definitely makes me feel better
Thanks! That was very good information!
Hey Noah. Your videos helped me understand myself better and confront some thoughts that always have been on my mind. Emmm...maybe it sounds funny, but Im actually serious about it...can you do a video about how to deal with lazyness? Or how to overcome it? That would be really cool. I hope you understand what Im trying to say ...Im from Europe and my english its not always perfect. Thank you.
you're the best bro
I get the idea. I believe it comes from eastern philosophies. I've experimented with it many times myself and sometimes it worked and other times it didn't. It is true that we never truly know what the outcome is going to be, and it is true that we can make a conscious choice to use the uncertainty to our advanatge and choose to believe that good things will come. With that being said this idea contradicts the scientific approach. Scientifically speaking there are patterns to behaviors and consequences, and there are ways to reasonably predict the future based on our past experiences (which is a crucial survival mechanism). There is also scientific evidence supporting many of the fears we have (i.e. not getting enough sleep). I find it to be a great challenge to balance these two seemingly opposing approaches.
Whenever I close my eyes my mind just shows an image and it won’t go away and it keeps me awake because my mind is focused on the movement of the image.
thank you for sharing this video
Very helpful. You are simply amazing :)
Noah thank you for helping me out i could never sleep with to many things in my mind i recently broke up with this girl that i loved and cherished and i thought it was the end for me but after watching all your depression videos i realized that I'm not alone and that i shouldn't put myself down because of one heart break the only thing that is still on my mind that i cant take out is why do i feel so angry when i see her with other guys i mean I'm over her but why do i care and its effecting my life in highschool i cant concentrate without looking at her teasing me with other guys i just need to know what to do because once that happens i become sad and depressed and sometimes full on anger and i go to the bathroom just to punch a wall and i don't want to but i don't know any other way to just take out my emotions what should i do please reply its been effecting me so much i just need someone to give me advise

Noah for President
sleep is a basic necesity... same like eating, drinking water and others. Sooner or later your body will budge and you will snooze ;)
