I had severe insomnia for half a decade now. Here are some tips that helped me: 1) The first thing that helped me was Magnesium Chelate (Nature's Way brand) 2) Eliminated dairy and butter from diet completely (helped a lot) 3) Stopped consuming all the processed foods and drinking soda 4) I try not to eat anything after 6:00pm in order to go to bad at midnight 5) I go to bed at the same time every night 6) I spend more time outside in the sun 7) I eat more fruits and vegetables 8) I quit smoking 9) I removed amalgam fillings from my teeth 10) I exercise whenever i can ...and i still have the fuc@#$% insomnia. It definitely got better but it's not the deep restful sleep. Now i don't have problems falling asleep but i wake up 20 minutes later for no reason. In the morning i wake up all tired and broken like the mattress slept on me, not the other way around. Major difference now is when i wake up in the middle of night (which is about 50 times) i can usually go back to sleep where as before that was impossible - i'd pretty much have to get up. What do you think of 5-HTP supplement? Has anyone tried it? Thanks!
+Mickey Bauer Going to bed at midnight may be your problem. Circadian rhythms dictate that we go to bed between 9 and 11pm. If you wait much longer after 11 then your body assumes you need to stay up and gives you a second wind keeping you awake.
Mickey Bauer Are you sure you don't suffer from sleep apnea? You may need to go in for a sleep study and have them observe you and test for that. You may wake up that many times because your breathing is irregular (usually you don't know you have sleep apnea but think you suffer from insomnia) if that's the case they'll give you a cpap machine.
Wow, 5 years? So lucky. Mine was more than 20. Now it happens in short periods when something of particular stress is occurring. But I get more sleep & better sleep overall. I illuminated many stressful issues, people, situations that were constants in my life. Also, the magnesium advice is very beneficial & lots of physical activity (especially outdoors when possible), something as simple as walking.
I used L-theanine and started sleeping peacefully after years of insomnia. For essential oils I used Cedar Atlas and slept peacefully and started dreaming again. Thanks for the other tips, time out from electronics, read, live a joyful life with rewarding activities, sounds great.
***** about 2 weeks ago i had my gallbladder removed. after the first few days after surgery, i felt pretty good, not much stress or anxiety, and i could sleep pretty good. then suddenly one day, for no apparent reason at all, i started feeling a TON of anxiety and stress and im also experiencing a lot of insomnia with it. i have no idea why im feeling these things, im not dwelling on anything, my life is pretty good. but bascially, constantly during the day, i feel stressed out, and its like i have permanent butterflies in my stomach. some times during the day, ill start to feel really good again and normal, and then all of a sudden that stress and anxiety creeps back up again full blast. i went back to my doctor for my follow up on my surgery, i told him about the stress and anxiety and insomnia ive been having. they did some blood work and showed that my white blood cell count was around 14,000, higher than normal. the doctor put me on the antibiotic ciprofloxacin because he believes i might have a small infection in my body somewhere, leading to my high white blood cell count. for the anxiety and insomnia he put me on hydroxyzine 25mg, which seems to be hardly working at all. its been 5 days now since being on the prescription, and im still having the same problems. there seems to be no improvment. what's strange is that even though im hardly getting any sleep, i dont feel tired or sleepy during the days. i feel wired almost, but i have no apparent reason to be wired. i get somewhat sleepy before bed, but even then its like im wide awake and alert. is it possible the drugs arent helping or making it worse? i dont know what else to do, ive treid almost every trick and technique i can think of, including yours. i just want to be able to sleep again... i cant see how people can go years like this. ive had it only for about a week and i feel like im about to go crazy. i just dont know what else to do...
my case is a little bit different, you know when im about to have a dream, and in a second it always cut off... and by the time i wake up my legs and arms suddenly weakens, for me i can have a dream if i close my eyes for 1 min or so, but this keeps happening, it soo scary, help. not to mention my heart beats fast.

Dr. Axe is spot on when he talks about taking certain supplements on a short term basis only, such as Melatonin and Valerian Root. I nearly died of liver failure in 2005 when I took a combination of Valerian Root, Melatonin, GABA, Hops, Passionflower, and 5HTP over a 9 day period. At first, I took the recommended dosage, but that didn't work, so I increased the dosage to two or three times the recommended dosage. My skin, nails, and eyes turned yellow and it felt like I had a horrible case of the flu. I became so weak and felt like I was dying, because I was dying. I drove myself to the E.R. and could barely walk into the E.R. As soon as the E.R. nurse saw me, she called a "STAT", and within five minutes I was placed on a gurney and hooked up to IV fluids. I spent nine miserable days in the hospital and a local clergy was called in to talk to me in case I didn't make it through. I had Heparin injections in my belly every day, my urine was dark amber, and I was as weak as a newborn kitten. After I was released from the hospital, it took me well over a year to recover. I've suffered insomnia for decades now and found out the hard way that OTC 'natural' sleep remedies can be just as dangerous as pharmaceuticals when you overdose on them. It's not something to mess with. I will try Dr. Axe's recommendations for insomnia. It's time for me to try something different to conquer this lifelong battle.
@X X No. There's no cure. I was put on 25 MG Seroquel to take 2 hours before bedtime. That worked a few weeks, then I had to take 50 MG nightly. After a few weeks, that didn't work, so I tried 75 MG nightly and that caused chest pain and high blood pressure, so I went back down to 50 MG and began taking cannabis edibles with the 50 MG Seroquel. The cannabis edibles helps me sleep better, but used to make me anxious for about an hour or so. But taken with Seroquel, it helps decrease the cannabis anxiety and helps me sleep. I tapered the Seroquel down to 25 MG last night, and still did the edible, and it seems to lessen the 'hangover' the next day.
Spot on. I suffered! with insomnia, and took Zoloft because I thought I had anxiety. Just yesterday, I found a 1/2 bottle, and tossed it away. Last month, I changed my diet, started journaling, and reading, and I sleep great now! Granted I NEED to start exercising still. Suggested book - The Lakota Way

my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on TH-cam it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well
Best advice is to set an alarm & force yourself to get out of bed at 7:00 A.M, regardless of whether you went to bed at 6:00A.M & force yourself to stay awake until the next night. Then use the advice in the video.
He's sooooo right! To anyone struggling with sleep, I had bad insomina for 4 months. I was eating waaaaay too many carbs and my blood sugar was super high. I went keto and stopped eating processed carbs and only ate very, very small amounts of fruit each day (a few strawberries in a smoothie maybe). After a couple of weeks of dropping processed carbs, my sleep slowly began to return. My body was stressed from consuming too much processed carbs and even too much fruit can do damage. I also loaded up on leafy greens, potassium (from wheatgrass juice) and tons of nutrients.

@@esterwyman I hear ya. I actually don't do it anymore but still keep my carbs low. It was too hard for me to stick with it. The health benefits are still there though because added sugar is down and processed food consumption is low! It's about balancing and moderation at the end of the day.
im 14. ive been suffering from insomnia for 3 years. i told my parents that i cant sleep , they wont listen to me. so this video is super usefull for me. thank u very much for these tips. i owe u .
OH my god, trust me I understand, insomnia isnt something people are able to talk about if theynever experienced it. Theres a vidoe on my channel about insomnia maybe that can help?
For Mac OS X laptop users, look into the "Night Shift" tab in the "Display" control panel in "System Preferences". You can configure your computer to reduce the blue-light channel of your display at a specific time, simulating the approach of sundown.
Sleeping is hard even for 'normal' people especially in these times and it is proven that listening to music before bed induces and leads to better sleep throughout the nights❤😴
Something tells me you don't suffer from a sleep disorder. Lol. If it was as easy as listening to some soft music or a rainstorm then this video would not have been made.
I had insomnia for a whole month, and what helped me get my sleep back was Yogi Bedtime tea, plus meditation to stop worrying about the future so much.
Thank you Dr. Axe. I will try these steps. For two weeks now, I can fall asleep but I only stay asleep for 2 or 2.5 hours. I've started to walk everyday (up a mountain) for exercise.
hi my dear .how was your sleeping? Had you days without any sleep? I mean 0 hour. Second question: how was the quality of sleep ? I mean your sleep is very very light sleep and you feel everything surrounded you , and interrupted? Third question: you never feel sleepy during the day? Just exhausted, even if you to sleep.sorry for a-lot of questions but i need a support.
here's my story. i stayed up all the time during the weekends ( im talking 3 and 4 am) and when it came down to school nights, i was terrified of not being able to fall asleep. i would force myself to sleep, but it didn't work, and i'd just cry. crying everyday, turned around and made me depressed. i would just eat, and play on my computer ALL day. and going to sleep, having panic attacks, i don't like. i stopped my body from doing all these things. i wouldn't stay up past 11 and i'd wake up at 6:50 everyday. and surprisingly, it worked. today marks a month since i first experienced my "insomnia attack" and i feel amazing.
He has mentioned all the techniques and tips I've read in 2 books. Also, a breathing and meditation technique along with the use of earthing and light boxes may be something to look into for serious insomniacs.
I find that having my tv turned on helps me fall asleep. I usually put on one of the nature channels and end up falling asleep, not because I find nature boring but perhaps because it relaxes me :) I find it extremely hard to fall asleep without the tv turned on and my mind chatter will literally keep me awake till morning if I do not distract it. To much on my mind I guess.
Thanks Dr. Axe, it is actually so useful, am gonna follow all the steps, because it's been 4 years I suffer insomnia since I was 15, so to be honest am really fed up with all depression and sleep pills, they kinda make me drunk, thanks again!
I am doing a lot of these things suggested in the video and my insomnia comes and goes - which I think is linked to my stress levels and not getting to sleep causes more stress (like a vicious circle!) - however I have not tried reading which I think could be a solution - weird how I read to my 3 year old son every night to get him to sleep yet I have not even tried doing it myself - talk about not doing what is right in front of you!
you're awesome Dr Axe i was looking for natural remedies to hhelp with palpitations and it brought me here, but I learn a lot from you and I know as from today I will have better night sleep. that can save a lot of people lives. Thanks for sharing your wisdom God bless you.
I find wearing orange blue blocker glasses an hour or two before I go to sleep really helps. And you can wear them while on the computer or watching television. When I wear them, it definitely helps me sleep better.
I am retired, over 70, and worked minutes for 40 years. Can't sleep. Tried lavender oil may have used too much too strong. At my age I am going for the doctor prescribed sleeping pill. You are just too cute young man. Love your advice.
If I could fall asleep laying next to you, I'd never need to take another pill ever again, just holding you in my arms is all I would ever need to be perfectly happy and content for the rest of my life, your wife is one very very lucky woman!
+VintageBlus Well I slept at 6 am now its almost 4pm. this video didnt helped me. though I played a music by Enigma called Callas went away on my headphones and I slept.
Thank you very much Dr. Josh for sharing this awesome tips, which I founf very useful and I will use your tips becauseactually I am having insomia which makes me feel tired in the morning and in a bad mood. I hope insomia goes away!

I was the biggest doubter but now I`m the biggest believer.?
Please help those of us with sleep maintenance insomnia. It seems to be from cortisol rising too early. No worrying, no mental racing or worry, just simply wake up as of it's time to wake but 2 or 3 hours too soon. Getting to sleep beforehand is as easy as it always was. Getting back to sleep is usually impossible, even with taking supplements after waking or doing relaxation or any other techniques.
Based on my experience, this simple tip works. Finish dinner 2-3 hrs before bed & eat 10g butter 30 mins before bed time. Suppose u want to sleep at 10 pm: 1. Finish dinner by 7 pm, 2. Don't take any food or fluids after that. 3. @ 9.30 pm eat 10g or 20g butter. Eat it directly taken from refrigerator [no need to add any milk or any liquid] 4. Don’t take any food or fluids after that. You will get uninterpreted sleep and u won’t wake up for hunger or pee in middle of night.
i have suffer from insomnia for 9 years since i was 14 till now 23 of course because of my thoughts its like crazy when im trying to sleep but i think the main reason why i cant sleep at night.. is because i have Obsessive-compulsive disorder, i have these 2 fit behaviour which is nail biting and hair pulling (trichotillomania:since i was 11) hair pulling isnt a joke..its embrassing. last time i tried meditate.. its work!!! i can fall asleep less than 5 minutes..but sadly that was the first and last time it happen..maybe im not concentrate enough or maybe my obsessive compulsive disorder over taking me
Sister... Try doing yoga and prayanama for once... Pranayama like Anlom vilom and Bhramari help a lot in easing down all those stressful shitty things going on in your brain... It will also help with concentration
damn i got OCD too plus i have ADHD so yeah ive had insomnia for almost 2 years so i feel you on that shit and im almost 27. one thing thats really good for sleep as well a countless other things is turmeric. Its the best spice on the planet and thats no understatement either lol.
I also hear that working on your bed or being on your phone/ laptop/ tablet in bed can mess up your sleep. Also make sure your room where you sleep is tidy, and don’t have anything on top of your bed.
What works for me is to not think about any stressful problems, and use and orange light at night, I think it works because it is similar in color to a sunrise and resets the brain. I have been trying this for a while and it works everytime. It seem like something some scientists might want to check into for verification.
There is no one accually in the world who can figure out why You your personal self cannot sleep, but your body is a miracle and if you can't sleep for a few weeks it's ok because your body will tell itself ok I'm tired now it's time to sleep
During school breaks my sleeping routine gets messed up so I fall asleep at about 5-7 AM and wake up at 1-2 PM and miss half of the day. Does this happen to anyone else?
my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on TH-cam it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well
Dr. Axe, I had a panic/anxiety attack about 4 months ago and ever since I haven't felt the same. I began to experience insomnia. Last week I began taking Magnesium Citrate and I've felt a big difference in my body. I also watched how to over come anxiety with breathing and such and I've felt pretty good. My question is, what else should I try to be able to beat this insomnia. I go to bed and just can't fall asleep. I toss and turn even being so tired. My doctor tested me on so many things but all have come back "normal". I feel all she wants to do is prescribe meds all the time. She put me on Zoloft 50mg when I clearly told her I didn't feel depressed. I was crying on one of my appointments and she came to that conclusion. I haven't been taking them since she brought the dose up because I am not depressed. She also prescribed sleep meds which I stopped taking them about 2 days ago to see if I could sleep but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as I felt relaxed I would feel startled. I toss and turn. ugh.. could I have high cortisol levels at night time that keep me from relaxing and going to sleep? what can I do about it? I've changed my diet even more now. I'm eating more greens and seeds and fish in hopes of giving my body more nutrients. I've searched and searched and know meds aren't going to help me but change in diet and taking the right vitamins and supplements will. What advice can you give me? I'm planning to change doctors but I know I'll get another one that will only prescribe me more meds and I want to do this more natural. Any information would be greatly appreciated. :-)
Thanks to this discovery, thousands of people have used this Outsmart Insomnia technique to escape from the torment of their disease, and finally enjoy their lives again.
I'm a 97% Plant Based Eater, It's 3:10am & I am AWAKE....LOL Smh OKAY it's my phone....I'm always researching so I'll put my phone all the way in my kitchen before bed to discipline myself...😂😂😂 I just said I was going to start taking my detox baths @ night again. THANKS FOR SHARING🏆🏆🏆
Thanks Dr. Axe!... I never tried some of those methods for my insomnia and some of them have worked!. I’ve been trying to stop taking ambien which I’ve been taking off and on for a few years but even that doesn’t even work. So thank you so much. I really enjoy your channel. Much love 😊
It is widely believed that insomnia and other sleep issues could be related to us staring at screens while in bed. The idea is that these screens emit large amounts of blue light, which fools our brains into thinking it’s day time, and hence, not time for sleeping. There’s way too many factors that affect sleeping. To have a good night sleep is turning down the brightness on all our screens and get anti-bluelight screen filter like ocushield as it will help protect our eyes from the harmful bluelight.
Just wear a pair of orange or red colored glasses (prescription or plain glasses) for two or three hours before bedtime.Experiment for one month. Sleep will improve dramatically. There are numerous websites detailing how this types of glasses can block blue lights from entering into your eyes and increase the melatolin supply into the brain really significantly.For me at least the improvements are simply unprecedented.Light is a very overlooked criterion ever to be discussed by anybody,even medics, when they discuss insomnia.
this is one of my recipes for sleeping :Take a large handful of lemon herbena leaves; add 2 cups of boiling water (do not boil the herb), steep in a covered container for 15 minutes. Strain out the infusion, add honey and drink just before bedtime
I didn't sleep too well last night, my job will be closing. And all of my coworkers get to pick where other job they can pick to work at another site. I picked this one site and I've been given second thoughts about it. I think I made a mistake and I hope its not too late to fix it.
What I can say from my bitter experience is that I have tried all of suggestions to return my sleep , nothing worked. Now finally I started pills Ambien , because I don’t see another choice . Yes, I sleep , I can not believe I sleep again! But the next day I feel drugged , drowsy , nauseous and low blood pressure. Not easy to work like this. But I prefer to sleep, because my many years insomnia was destroying me and accordingly I gained weight . Now I’m loosing it pound by pound and surprisingly watch the scale . I don’t do anything else for it . 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, Ambien increases appetite. I use another prescription now, but when I used Ambien I took it and then immediately got into bed to stay away from food.
Most of us insomniacs have insomnia because of psychological issues, for example when I'm single as I am right now: can't sleep no matter what (the feeling of being "alone" brings up deeply anchored fears that I do not always comprehend, when I'm with a girl I love: I sleep like a baby), I only will when my brain tires out to the point where it will sleep (usually around 8am - to get up around 10), I spend my nights reading books in complete darkness (e-reader). So today I went to get antidepressants and anxiolytics (not that I really like the idea of changing my brain chemistry, I always lose a good share of my mental faculties when I do and my short-term memory has already been severely damaged by a previous treatment) as my demons are what is keeping me awake - now I just have to wait until they take effect (a month usually in my case) - none of the remedies you listed could ever help someone like me with an overactive brain that never simply shuts the fuck up about bad thoughts and emotions, at some point (2-4h in complete darkness) you just go bonkers trying to sleep when it just doesn't come ... so you boot your computer and start browsing for boring stuff to take your mind off things. So if you truly are a doc, please make a video about deeper stuff for the ones that like me suffer and can't sleep because of that. Also, please include meditation if you do - It's a great help for most of us, even though it just doesn't cut it for me at my level of insomnia. A healthy mind in a healthy body is one thing, but once the body is healthy (I do a lot of sports - roughly 2h a day) and so is the alimentation (i'm almost completely vegan, the only times I eat meat is for proteins as tofu, that I sadly LOVE, while being awesome for women, has been recently found to feminize the male body - so whey protein is my best way to get protein) if the mind isn't in good health.... You still can't sleep, and that has a huge impact on life.. ~Some tortured psych student
I like that you started with such basic but rarely mentioned thing as the diet. It unpleasant to hear such thing and many bloggers omit this. Keep it up. I would add one more tip. Since last month I got hooked on SLEEPHYPNOPILL guided hypnosis. Just downloaded it on my phone for battery to keep on longer and that's the thing.
After years of insomnia, I have my diet and exercise under control. Quieting my mind happens when I hold my breath. I hold it until I feel like I'll pass out, then catch my breath and do it again. Forcing the CO2 into my blood is a sedative. Oxygen is a stimulant. I swear by it. My mind calms down, and I fall asleep. It usually only takes five deep holds
Elementary school : id fall sleep at 12 Junior high : 1am HS: 2am Adult : 6am If I force myself to bed before I’m tired , I will sleep zero. I tried zzquil, worked for a week , then my body adjusted like Wolverine , and It literally had no effect on my anymore. Same with melatonin. I have now tried Valerian root, didn’t feel as powerful as the other 2.. but still helped, but now I see my body has adjusted to it as well. As soon as I close my eyes in bed, my mind is running and I can’t stop it. I’m not happy unless I’m working towards something. So no matter what, I will be trying to solve or progress what I was working on that day while my eyes are closed. Any stress or real life stuff is just the cherry on top, which yes makes it worse.
I found if you have to use an electronic device like a computer or whatever before bed, I use blue light blocking glasses at least 2 hours before bedtime until time to sleep and that helps tremendously. You can find those on Amazon.
Some great points Dr Axe, regarding how and when to take supplements and on a short term basis. Yes a lot things contribute to poor sleep, Eliminate or get better control of them. And yes that holistic approach does work.
my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on TH-cam it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well.
I shut down my technology before I sleep and than I start writing and wait til I can't keep my eyes open but than as I close my eyes I start thinking about things that hurts me or worries me. I REALLY can't sleep and I tried to talk to my mother about but she doesn't understand it started 2014
Try to walk about 3 mile every morning and do exercise atleast 20 minutes and you will find your self tired eat healthy diet no carbs in dinner eat bananas with oatmeal add 2 tablespoon of honey hope can help your problem God bless you...
Thank you dear Dr I have never knew about tips that you mention here and now by lestining this I am sure they will work to me. I am struggling with insomnia and I did not really know what to do . Thanks again
I'm 11 yrs old and i think i have short term insomnia. I couldn't get to sleep and i ad no sleep whatsoever. For the people who hasn't dealt with it, it feels like you forgot how to sleep. You try and try but won't fall asleep.
Try to stop thinking about it. If you think about it that increases anxiety and keeps you awake. I try to just relax and clear my mind; that's not actual sleep, but it's rest. Also, try keeping your eyes open and stare into the dark void. It makes my eyes feel heavy, then it's hard to keep them open and I fall asleep.
Thanks Dr. Axe, I've been utilizing that magnesium for my sleep troubles. And I've had trouble sleeping all of my life! Thank you for your help! ~~~Nancy
Great tips! I particularly find the first one is where most people struggle with. When I get hungry at night I like to add some nuts which have great fats as well.
There are many components to relieving sleeplessness naturally. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Trevs Sleep Blueprint (google it if you're interested) definately the best plan that I have ever heard of. Check out the awesome information .
A lot of it is what you percieve as stress and how you react to it makes a big difference. Also the cause of the stress is one thing but who wouldn't want to try and reduce the stress ? Unless you are stubborn and want to do what you can to hold onto the stress lol
I always have my a/c on at 65 at night and it gets freezing in my house. My girlfriend and mom think im crazy but it definitely helps me fall asleep because u feel very cozy LOL
I struggled with lack of sleep for more than 2 years and believed there was clearly no cure for me. Not until a psychological behavioral therapist encouraged this specific plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* It help me know about science the way we sleep at night. And every night, I can now sleep normally. I enjoy slumbering in the mattress again.. .
I'm retired and disabled have bad anxiety and insomnia so I sleep in the day and stay up in the nite which I don't mind cuz I don't like going anywhere or being around anyone we live in the mountains wilderness Pecos NM Hispanics causing Panic my wife has 3 years to retire just got used to staying home especially in the winter summer too I guess too hot to do anything love fishing and eating and watching NBA playing my games have a good retirement just need help with my pain and anxiety
I only slept 3 hours in total for the past 2 days . And I don't feel tire at all which is really scary :( . I am scared of bed time :,(. Can I try banana instead of avocado ?
Eating plain organic lettuce also helps because of the sleep inducing sap many lettuces naturally produce. Bowl of lettuce before bed, particularly baby spring mix - try it.
Get rest. My mom said it the best self care you can do. Namaste love and light. Thus be last post. I must get busy Living. Change old habit and grow. Much love. Ring sent.
Doctor, I have this problem for many years , right now I'm experiencing palpitation because of the anxiety of not falling to sleep, I think I should meet a specialist for this matter, this is one of the biggest challenge in my life, all evening I'm bearing this pressure whether I will sleep well or not, I'm also spending my stressful exam period and my sleep disorder is just killing me.

I had severe insomnia for half a decade now. Here are some tips that helped me:
1) The first thing that helped me was Magnesium Chelate (Nature's Way brand)
2) Eliminated dairy and butter from diet completely (helped a lot)
3) Stopped consuming all the processed foods and drinking soda
4) I try not to eat anything after 6:00pm in order to go to bad at midnight
5) I go to bed at the same time every night
6) I spend more time outside in the sun
7) I eat more fruits and vegetables
8) I quit smoking
9) I removed amalgam fillings from my teeth
10) I exercise whenever i can
...and i still have the fuc@#$% insomnia.
It definitely got better but it's not the deep restful sleep. Now i don't have problems falling asleep but i wake up 20 minutes later for no reason. In the morning i wake up all tired and broken like the mattress slept on me, not the other way around. Major difference now is when i wake up in the middle of night (which is about 50 times) i can usually go back to sleep where as before that was impossible - i'd pretty much have to get up.
What do you think of 5-HTP supplement? Has anyone tried it?
Thanks!
+Mickey Bauer Going to bed at midnight may be your problem. Circadian rhythms dictate that we go to bed between 9 and 11pm. If you wait much longer after 11 then your body assumes you need to stay up and gives you a second wind keeping you awake.

Mickey Bauer Are you sure you don't suffer from sleep apnea? You may need to go in for a sleep study and have them observe you and test for that. You may wake up that many times because your breathing is irregular (usually you don't know you have sleep apnea but think you suffer from insomnia) if that's the case they'll give you a cpap machine.
Ciro Di Napoli. I was thinking the same. She should have sleep study done.
Wow, 5 years? So lucky. Mine was more than 20. Now it happens in short periods when something of particular stress is occurring. But I get more sleep & better sleep overall. I illuminated many stressful issues, people, situations that were constants in my life.
Also, the magnesium advice is very beneficial & lots of physical activity (especially outdoors when possible), something as simple as walking.
The 30mins relaxing my mind / break before bed actually work. Got a 10 hours deep sleep today it feels so good
Following these steps will help you fall asleep fast and help you overcome insomnia naturally.

I used L-theanine and started sleeping peacefully after years of insomnia.
For essential oils I used Cedar Atlas and slept peacefully and started dreaming again.
Thanks for the other tips, time out from electronics, read, live a joyful life with rewarding activities, sounds great.
Hopefully you will find better quality sleep unitedwestand50!
***** about 2 weeks ago i had my gallbladder removed. after the first few days after surgery, i felt pretty good, not much stress or anxiety, and i could sleep pretty good. then suddenly one day, for no apparent reason at all, i started feeling a TON of anxiety and stress and im also experiencing a lot of insomnia with it. i have no idea why im feeling these things, im not dwelling on anything, my life is pretty good. but bascially, constantly during the day, i feel stressed out, and its like i have permanent butterflies in my stomach. some times during the day, ill start to feel really good again and normal, and then all of a sudden that stress and anxiety creeps back up again full blast. i went back to my doctor for my follow up on my surgery, i told him about the stress and anxiety and insomnia ive been having. they did some blood work and showed that my white blood cell count was around 14,000, higher than normal. the doctor put me on the antibiotic ciprofloxacin because he believes i might have a small infection in my body somewhere, leading to my high white blood cell count. for the anxiety and insomnia he put me on hydroxyzine 25mg, which seems to be hardly working at all. its been 5 days now since being on the prescription, and im still having the same problems. there seems to be no improvment. what's strange is that even though im hardly getting any sleep, i dont feel tired or sleepy during the days. i feel wired almost, but i have no apparent reason to be wired. i get somewhat sleepy before bed, but even then its like im wide awake and alert. is it possible the drugs arent helping or making it worse? i dont know what else to do, ive treid almost every trick and technique i can think of, including yours. i just want to be able to sleep again... i cant see how people can go years like this. ive had it only for about a week and i feel like im about to go crazy. i just dont know what else to do...
my case is a little bit different, you know when im about to have a dream, and in a second it always cut off... and by the time i wake up my legs and arms suddenly weakens, for me i can have a dream if i close my eyes for 1 min or so, but this keeps happening, it soo scary, help. not to mention my heart beats fast.
***** I'm not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out a perfect nights sleep try Melatrol Sleep With Ease (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Magnificent video! And for you who came to read the comments... maybe you chose this video because you can't sleep at home because of family problems, or because you're trying to find something to feel at peace, but I mean you can overcome any situation. value, so don't let anything get in the way of your self-esteem. Jesus loves you!
Dr. Axe is spot on when he talks about taking certain supplements on a short term basis only, such as Melatonin and Valerian Root. I nearly died of liver failure in 2005 when I took a combination of Valerian Root, Melatonin, GABA, Hops, Passionflower, and 5HTP over a 9 day period. At first, I took the recommended dosage, but that didn't work, so I increased the dosage to two or three times the recommended dosage. My skin, nails, and eyes turned yellow and it felt like I had a horrible case of the flu. I became so weak and felt like I was dying, because I was dying. I drove myself to the E.R. and could barely walk into the E.R. As soon as the E.R. nurse saw me, she called a "STAT", and within five minutes I was placed on a gurney and hooked up to IV fluids. I spent nine miserable days in the hospital and a local clergy was called in to talk to me in case I didn't make it through. I had Heparin injections in my belly every day, my urine was dark amber, and I was as weak as a newborn kitten. After I was released from the hospital, it took me well over a year to recover.
I've suffered insomnia for decades now and found out the hard way that OTC 'natural' sleep remedies can be just as dangerous as pharmaceuticals when you overdose on them. It's not something to mess with. I will try Dr. Axe's recommendations for insomnia. It's time for me to try something different to conquer this lifelong battle.
Was the supplements called jarrow sleep optimizer?
@@jmm1217 No
So did you cure your insomnia??!!!!????
@X X No. There's no cure. I was put on 25 MG Seroquel to take 2 hours before bedtime. That worked a few weeks, then I had to take 50 MG nightly. After a few weeks, that didn't work, so I tried 75 MG nightly and that caused chest pain and high blood pressure, so I went back down to 50 MG and began taking cannabis edibles with the 50 MG Seroquel. The cannabis edibles helps me sleep better, but used to make me anxious for about an hour or so. But taken with Seroquel, it helps decrease the cannabis anxiety and helps me sleep. I tapered the Seroquel down to 25 MG last night, and still did the edible, and it seems to lessen the 'hangover' the next day.
i try everything nothing help except 10 mg zolpidem i feel sleepy in 15 minutes
Spot on. I suffered! with insomnia, and took Zoloft because I thought I had anxiety. Just yesterday, I found a 1/2 bottle, and tossed it away. Last month, I changed my diet, started journaling, and reading, and I sleep great now! Granted I NEED to start exercising still. Suggested book - The Lakota Way
That's awesome Takawi Peters, I'm glad your insomnia has gotten better!

my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on TH-cam it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well
How are feeling now
@@lakshmideepagowda9716 I'm mostly back to normal
@@nunyabizness9045 how many days it took to u to be normal
This might be good advice for someone with mild case of insomnia. But in severe cases, eating an avocado or having lavender won't do much
Well that sucks because I was hoping that would help.
Menopause will destroy your sleep.
Lavender can get sickly and who wants to eat an advocado
Ylang Ylang is an essential oil that helps me almost as much as Zopiclone. It's much more potent than lavender.
Best advice is to set an alarm & force yourself to get out of bed at 7:00 A.M, regardless of whether you went to bed at 6:00A.M & force yourself to stay awake until the next night. Then use the advice in the video.
He's sooooo right! To anyone struggling with sleep, I had bad insomina for 4 months. I was eating waaaaay too many carbs and my blood sugar was super high.
I went keto and stopped eating processed carbs and only ate very, very small amounts of fruit each day (a few strawberries in a smoothie maybe).
After a couple of weeks of dropping processed carbs, my sleep slowly began to return. My body was stressed from consuming too much processed carbs and even too much fruit can do damage.
I also loaded up on leafy greens, potassium (from wheatgrass juice) and tons of nutrients.

I don’t do Fad Diet’s
@@esterwyman I hear ya. I actually don't do it anymore but still keep my carbs low. It was too hard for me to stick with it.
The health benefits are still there though because added sugar is down and processed food consumption is low! It's about balancing and moderation at the end of the day.
Whenever I give up sweets or go low with the sweets, I don't sleep too long. Around 4 hours
im 14. ive been suffering from insomnia for 3 years. i told my parents that i cant sleep , they wont listen to me. so this video is super usefull for me. thank u very much for these tips. i owe u .
OH my god, trust me I understand, insomnia isnt something people are able to talk about if theynever experienced it. Theres a vidoe on my channel about insomnia maybe that can help?
Maimuna, How is your sleep now?
For Mac OS X laptop users, look into the "Night Shift" tab in the "Display" control panel in "System Preferences". You can configure your computer to reduce the blue-light channel of your display at a specific time, simulating the approach of sundown.
Sleeping is hard even for 'normal' people especially in these times and it is proven that listening to music before bed induces and leads to better sleep throughout the nights❤😴
Something tells me you don't suffer from a sleep disorder. Lol. If it was as easy as listening to some soft music or a rainstorm then this video would not have been made.
@@jessicataylor1930Exactly!
That music will continue playing in my head when I try to switch off my brain. I get a headache from trying to calm my brain.
I had insomnia for a whole month, and what helped me get my sleep back was Yogi Bedtime tea, plus meditation to stop worrying about the future so much.
In other words, insomnia is a mental problem
Yogi bedtime tea how long you take it before bed and how many bags you use thank you
Thank you Dr. Axe. I will try these steps. For two weeks now, I can fall asleep but I only stay asleep for 2 or 2.5 hours. I've started to walk everyday (up a mountain) for exercise.
How is your sleeping now ?
hi my dear .how was your sleeping? Had you days without any sleep? I mean 0 hour. Second question: how was the quality of sleep ? I mean your sleep is very very light sleep and you feel everything surrounded you , and interrupted? Third question: you never feel sleepy during the day? Just exhausted, even if you to sleep.sorry for a-lot of questions but i need a support.
here's my story. i stayed up all the time during the weekends ( im talking 3 and 4 am) and when it came down to school nights, i was terrified of not being able to fall asleep. i would force myself to sleep, but it didn't work, and i'd just cry. crying everyday, turned around and made me depressed. i would just eat, and play on my computer ALL day. and going to sleep, having panic attacks, i don't like. i stopped my body from doing all these things. i wouldn't stay up past 11 and i'd wake up at 6:50 everyday. and surprisingly, it worked. today marks a month since i first experienced my "insomnia attack" and i feel amazing.
He has mentioned all the techniques and tips I've read in 2 books. Also, a breathing and meditation technique along with the use of earthing and light boxes may be something to look into for serious insomniacs.
What is earthing? I know what a lightbox is.
Thank you very much Dr. Axe. I tried the simplest method, shutting off all screens, last night and it really helped.
I love this video and will try all mentioned and pass it on to my friends. Thank you so much for caring enough to share and make the community well.
I find that having my tv turned on helps me fall asleep. I usually put on one of the nature channels and end up falling asleep, not because I find nature boring but perhaps because it relaxes me :) I find it extremely hard to fall asleep without the tv turned on and my mind chatter will literally keep me awake till morning if I do not distract it. To much on my mind I guess.
Thanks Dr. Axe, it is actually so useful, am gonna follow all the steps, because it's been 4 years I suffer insomnia since I was 15, so to be honest am really fed up with all depression and sleep pills, they kinda make me drunk, thanks again!
I am doing a lot of these things suggested in the video and my insomnia comes and goes - which I think is linked to my stress levels and not getting to sleep causes more stress (like a vicious circle!) - however I have not tried reading which I think could be a solution - weird how I read to my 3 year old son every night to get him to sleep yet I have not even tried doing it myself - talk about not doing what is right in front of you!
you're awesome Dr Axe i was looking for natural remedies to hhelp with palpitations and it brought me here, but I learn a lot from you and I know as from today I will have better night sleep. that can save a lot of people lives. Thanks for sharing your wisdom God bless you.
Also unplug electronics in your room, turn off WiFi router and phone if possible. It can help sleep too.
I find wearing orange blue blocker glasses an hour or two before I go to sleep really helps. And you can wear them while on the computer or watching television. When I wear them, it definitely helps me sleep better.
Where do u buy them?
Thank you very much Josh for your advice and comments, especially re insomnia.
Was watching this video at 1:30am and then he mentioned to cut down on screens -_-
I'm the exact same. It's 1:29 now and I'm still on my phone
it's five am and I've been up since two am
yeah the same with me its 2 am right now where I am and everything keeps me awake
the irony haha
Well shit i was awake since 5 am no joke
I am retired, over 70, and worked minutes for 40 years. Can't sleep. Tried lavender oil may have used too much too strong. At my age I am going for the doctor prescribed sleeping pill. You are just too cute young man. Love your advice.
I've been saying half of these tips for years, especially soaking in Epsom salts baths and aromatherapy. Thank you for the great tips +Dr. Axe.😊
I cannot sleep at night and day my age 34 l take lot of sleeping pills now sleeping also not helping
If I could fall asleep laying next to you, I'd never need to take another pill ever again, just holding you in my arms is all I would ever need to be perfectly happy and content for the rest of my life, your wife is one very very lucky woman!
I can't sleep till 6 am or 7 am :/
Same. Also, I lose my appetite.
+VintageBlus me too, its making me go crazy ! I dont eat proper dont sleep proper.
+Hassani King its currently 2:20 am right now..I hope this video helps.
+VintageBlus Well I slept at 6 am now its almost 4pm. this video didnt helped me. though I played a music by Enigma called Callas went away on my headphones and I slept.
Hassani King
did you end up fixing your sleep?
What a great video. I am going to try this from now on. I haven't slept in 24 hours, and I feel horrible. This was very great info. Thank you!
No don't work
Not true for all
Thank you very much Dr. Josh for sharing this awesome tips, which I founf very useful and I will use your tips becauseactually I am having insomia which makes me feel tired in the morning and in a bad mood. I hope insomia goes away!
Hope this tips save my fvking life of struggling insomnia
I have insomnia and this video put me to sleep
😂
Srsly?
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about sleeping problem remedies try Fezervin Beat Insomnia Coach (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
😂
I almost gave up treating the dreadful sleeping disorders I have encountered for 2 years. But ever since I used this sleep plan tinyurl.com/Insomnia55 my sleeping trouble was vanished and sleeping in my bed just felt great. Use this product, you won`t regret it. I was the biggest doubter but now I`m the biggest believer.?
Please help those of us with sleep maintenance insomnia. It seems to be from cortisol rising too early. No worrying, no mental racing or worry, just simply wake up as of it's time to wake but 2 or 3 hours too soon. Getting to sleep beforehand is as easy as it always was. Getting back to sleep is usually impossible, even with taking supplements after waking or doing relaxation or any other techniques.
I have the same problem, any ideas?
thanks Dr Axe. I love it when doctors have different solutions to overcome insomnia other than sleeping pills as I'm all about natural sleep cures.
Based on my experience, this simple tip works. Finish dinner 2-3 hrs before bed & eat 10g butter 30 mins before bed time.
Suppose u want to sleep at 10 pm:
1. Finish dinner by 7 pm,
2. Don't take any food or fluids after that.
3. @ 9.30 pm eat 10g or 20g butter. Eat it directly taken from refrigerator [no need to add any milk or any liquid]
4. Don’t take any food or fluids after that.
You will get uninterpreted sleep and u won’t wake up for hunger or pee in middle of night.
There is no formula any one person can follow to get "perfect sleep".
i have suffer from insomnia for 9 years since i was 14 till now 23
of course because of my thoughts its like crazy when im trying to sleep but i think the main reason why i cant sleep at night.. is because i have Obsessive-compulsive disorder, i have these 2 fit behaviour which is nail biting and hair pulling (trichotillomania:since i was 11)
hair pulling isnt a joke..its embrassing. last time i tried meditate.. its work!!! i can fall asleep less than 5 minutes..but sadly that was the first and last time it happen..maybe im not concentrate enough or maybe my obsessive compulsive disorder over taking me
Sister... Try doing yoga and prayanama for once... Pranayama like Anlom vilom and Bhramari help a lot in easing down all those stressful shitty things going on in your brain... It will also help with concentration
damn i got OCD too plus i have ADHD so yeah ive had insomnia for almost 2 years so i feel you on that shit and im almost 27. one thing thats really good for sleep as well a countless other things is turmeric. Its the best spice on the planet and thats no understatement either lol.
Luke Ervin I've had those my entire life. I've never had a straight sleep
Schedule.
I also hear that working on your bed or being on your phone/ laptop/ tablet in bed can mess up your sleep. Also make sure your room where you sleep is tidy, and don’t have anything on top of your bed.
What works for me is to not think about any stressful problems, and use and orange light at night, I think it works because it is similar in color to a sunrise and resets the brain. I have been trying this for a while and it works everytime. It seem like something some scientists might want to check into for verification.
One video said infra red light us supposed to help you sleep
I always have a large cup of coffee before I go to bed to relax me, the warmth going down my throat relaxes me and helps me sleep
There is no one accually in the world who can figure out why
You your personal self cannot sleep, but your body is a miracle and if you can't sleep for a few weeks it's ok because your body will tell itself ok I'm tired now it's time to sleep
Do you mean no sleep at all for 2weeks
?or just some insomnia.
Brother thanks so much for this video. May God bless you.
Thank you Dr. Axe I wrote down some great notes for me to use to help me get some good sleep I am definitely sharing this!
Great tips! Dr. Josh Axe offers some really helpful natural remedies for improving sleep quality. Definitely going to try some of these out!
During school breaks my sleeping routine gets messed up so I fall asleep at about 5-7 AM and wake up at 1-2 PM and miss half of the day. Does this happen to anyone else?

Dr. Axe, I had a panic/anxiety attack about 4 months ago and ever since I haven't felt the same. I began to experience insomnia. Last week I began taking Magnesium Citrate and I've felt a big difference in my body. I also watched how to over come anxiety with breathing and such and I've felt pretty good. My question is, what else should I try to be able to beat this insomnia. I go to bed and just can't fall asleep. I toss and turn even being so tired. My doctor tested me on so many things but all have come back "normal". I feel all she wants to do is prescribe meds all the time. She put me on Zoloft 50mg when I clearly told her I didn't feel depressed. I was crying on one of my appointments and she came to that conclusion. I haven't been taking them since she brought the dose up because I am not depressed. She also prescribed sleep meds which I stopped taking them about 2 days ago to see if I could sleep but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as I felt relaxed I would feel startled. I toss and turn. ugh.. could I have high cortisol levels at night time that keep me from relaxing and going to sleep? what can I do about it? I've changed my diet even more now. I'm eating more greens and seeds and fish in hopes of giving my body more nutrients. I've searched and searched and know meds aren't going to help me but change in diet and taking the right vitamins and supplements will. What advice can you give me? I'm planning to change doctors but I know I'll get another one that will only prescribe me more meds and I want to do this more natural. Any information would be greatly appreciated. :-)
You may have high cortisol and adrenal fatigue
As a post-menopausal woman progesterone topical cream really helped me.
Not sure if that applies

I just said I was going to start taking my detox baths @ night again.
THANKS FOR SHARING🏆🏆🏆
Thank you. I'm at wits end. I shall try these today and this evening and let you know x
Thanks Dr. Axe!... I never tried some of those methods for my insomnia and some of them have worked!. I’ve been trying to stop taking ambien which I’ve been taking off and on for a few years but even that doesn’t even work. So thank you so much. I really enjoy your channel. Much love 😊
It is widely believed that insomnia and other sleep issues could be related to us staring at screens while in bed. The idea is that these screens emit large amounts of blue light, which fools our brains into thinking it’s day time, and hence, not time for sleeping. There’s way too many factors that affect sleeping. To have a good night sleep is turning down the brightness on all our screens and get anti-bluelight screen filter like ocushield as it will help protect our eyes from the harmful bluelight.
Im going to see a sleep doctor next week..my doctor says I may have sleep Apnea..I think is more Insomnia..I love your videos so informative!

Just wear a pair of orange or red colored glasses (prescription or plain glasses) for two or three hours before bedtime.Experiment for one month. Sleep will improve dramatically. There are numerous websites detailing how this types of glasses can block blue lights from entering into your eyes and increase the melatolin supply into the brain really significantly.For me at least the improvements are simply unprecedented.Light is a very overlooked criterion ever to be discussed by anybody,even medics, when they discuss insomnia.
How is your sleep now?
this is one of my recipes for sleeping :Take a large handful of lemon herbena leaves; add 2 cups of boiling water (do not boil the herb), steep in a covered container for 15 minutes. Strain out the infusion, add honey and drink just before bedtime
I didn't sleep too well last night, my job will be closing. And all of my coworkers get to pick where other job they can pick to work at another site. I picked this one site and I've been given second thoughts about it. I think I made a mistake and I hope its not too late to fix it.
What I can say from my bitter experience is that I have tried all of suggestions to return my sleep , nothing worked. Now finally I started pills Ambien , because I don’t see another choice . Yes, I sleep , I can not believe I sleep again! But the next day I feel drugged , drowsy , nauseous and low blood pressure. Not easy to work like this. But I prefer to sleep, because my many years insomnia was destroying me and accordingly I gained weight . Now I’m loosing it pound by pound and surprisingly watch the scale . I don’t do anything else for it . 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, Ambien increases appetite. I use another prescription now, but when I used Ambien I took it and then immediately got into bed to stay away from food.
Thank you Dr. Axe for tips. Definitely gotta cut electronics before bed.
Most of us insomniacs have insomnia because of psychological issues, for example when I'm single as I am right now: can't sleep no matter what (the feeling of being "alone" brings up deeply anchored fears that I do not always comprehend, when I'm with a girl I love: I sleep like a baby), I only will when my brain tires out to the point where it will sleep (usually around 8am - to get up around 10), I spend my nights reading books in complete darkness (e-reader). So today I went to get antidepressants and anxiolytics (not that I really like the idea of changing my brain chemistry, I always lose a good share of my mental faculties when I do and my short-term memory has already been severely damaged by a previous treatment) as my demons are what is keeping me awake - now I just have to wait until they take effect (a month usually in my case) - none of the remedies you listed could ever help someone like me with an overactive brain that never simply shuts the fuck up about bad thoughts and emotions, at some point (2-4h in complete darkness) you just go bonkers trying to sleep when it just doesn't come ... so you boot your computer and start browsing for boring stuff to take your mind off things.
So if you truly are a doc, please make a video about deeper stuff for the ones that like me suffer and can't sleep because of that. Also, please include meditation if you do - It's a great help for most of us, even though it just doesn't cut it for me at my level of insomnia.
A healthy mind in a healthy body is one thing, but once the body is healthy (I do a lot of sports - roughly 2h a day) and so is the alimentation (i'm almost completely vegan, the only times I eat meat is for proteins as tofu, that I sadly LOVE, while being awesome for women, has been recently found to feminize the male body - so whey protein is my best way to get protein) if the mind isn't in good health.... You still can't sleep, and that has a huge impact on life..

pixelsafoison really? Did you get a girlfriend?
I like that you started with such basic but rarely mentioned thing as the diet. It unpleasant to hear such thing and many bloggers omit this. Keep it up. I would add one more tip. Since last month I got hooked on SLEEPHYPNOPILL guided hypnosis. Just downloaded it on my phone for battery to keep on longer and that's the thing.
It's good to learn this from a real doctor!
Thank you .. I love it
After years of insomnia, I have my diet and exercise under control. Quieting my mind happens when I hold my breath. I hold it until I feel like I'll pass out, then catch my breath and do it again. Forcing the CO2 into my blood is a sedative. Oxygen is a stimulant. I swear by it. My mind calms down, and I fall asleep. It usually only takes five deep holds
Thanks for bringing that up! I have an article on breaking exercises that goes into this! draxe.com/health/breathing-exercises/?
Elementary school : id fall sleep at 12
Junior high : 1am
HS: 2am
Adult : 6am
If I force myself to bed before I’m tired , I will sleep zero.
I tried zzquil, worked for a week , then my body adjusted like Wolverine , and It literally had no effect on my anymore.
Same with melatonin. I have now tried Valerian root, didn’t feel as powerful as the other 2.. but still helped, but now I see my body has adjusted to it as well.
As soon as I close my eyes in bed, my mind is running and I can’t stop it. I’m not happy unless I’m working towards something. So no matter what, I will be trying to solve or progress what I was working on that day while my eyes are closed. Any stress or real life stuff is just the cherry on top, which yes makes it worse.
I literally do all the things he said in the video and I'm not going to be able to fall asleep until 5 am tonight . I feel so frustrated and defeated.
i couldnt fall asleep for until 5 am and i only got 3 hours of sleep
Force yourself to get up earlier & earlier until you reset your internal clock
I have a big problem in this area...thank you Dr. Axe!
I feel like I am going to collapse all day but then when I get to bed then I cant sleep
A G & T is a partial solution
@@geofdowdell2108what is that????
I found if you have to use an electronic device like a computer or whatever before bed, I use blue light blocking glasses at least 2 hours before bedtime until time to sleep and that helps tremendously. You can find those on Amazon.
"If you're eating too many sugars or-"
Me: *looks over at stash of Hershey kisses*
Some great points Dr Axe, regarding how and when to take supplements and on a short term basis. Yes a lot things contribute to poor sleep, Eliminate or get better control of them. And yes that holistic approach does work.
Reading the Bible helps me.
It helps me to calm down and get a little sleepy but then I close it and am wide awake again…
Also not watching TH-cam while in bed in the dark. Many people do this unfortunately.
my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on TH-cam it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well.
I shut down my technology before I sleep and than I start writing and wait til I can't keep my eyes open but than as I close my eyes I start thinking about things that hurts me or worries me. I REALLY can't sleep and I tried to talk to my mother about but she doesn't understand it started 2014
My mom thinks that since i have insomnia, I can't sleep at all, which is not even true...
I have so much trauma in my life I was told if I wrote a book it would be a best seller I have not had a good nights sleep since I was eighteen
Try to walk about 3 mile every morning and do exercise atleast 20 minutes and you will find your self tired eat healthy diet no carbs in dinner eat bananas with oatmeal add 2 tablespoon of honey hope can help your problem God bless you...
A Musiek damn bitch 2014, wtf
A Musiek we have the same problem. at morning my head is pain. .huhuhu
Great suggestions. In my channel I only use videos with a TOTAL DARK SCREEN. Do you think it helps?
Fantastic video, thank you so much. Very helpful.
Thank you dear Dr
I have never knew about tips that you mention here and now by lestining this I am sure they will work to me. I am struggling with insomnia and I did not really know what to do .
Thanks again
I've been a heavy drinker for a few years. Always at night. I sweat and am very reckless. Thanks for the information.
I pray to the Lord Jesus and repeat praises to Him till I fall asleep. I definitely dont think about the fact that I need sleep.
I'm 11 yrs old and i think i have short term insomnia. I couldn't get to sleep and i ad no sleep whatsoever. For the people who hasn't dealt with it, it feels like you forgot how to sleep. You try and try but won't fall asleep.
stop the sugar, start exercising,too much energy
Does sugar really effect sleep
Try to stop thinking about it. If you think about it that increases anxiety and keeps you awake. I try to just relax and clear my mind; that's not actual sleep, but it's rest. Also, try keeping your eyes open and stare into the dark void. It makes my eyes feel heavy, then it's hard to keep them open and I fall asleep.
Hi Doctor Axe I am becoming a nutritionist myself your video's motivated me even more thanks for all your knowledge and advise.
‘Video’ is plural not possessive. 👍🏼
Thanks Dr. Axe, I've been utilizing that magnesium for my sleep troubles.
And I've had trouble sleeping all of my life!
Thank you for your help!

I burn incense sticks at night. The smell relaxes me and helps me fall asleep.
Great tips! I particularly find the first one is where most people struggle with. When I get hungry at night I like to add some nuts which have great fats as well.
Glad you found them helpful bestjuicer.net!
There are many components to relieving sleeplessness naturally. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Trevs Sleep Blueprint (google it if you're interested) definately the best plan that I have ever heard of. Check out the awesome information .
Thanks for this Dr. Axe! I know for a fact that if I skimp on meals throughout the day (especially dinner), I'll get the worst insomnia!
being in the military as soon as he said "reduce stress" I instantly shut the video off because that's never gonna happen 😂😂
lol thats true
A lot of it is what you percieve as stress and how you react to it makes a big difference. Also the cause of the stress is one thing but who wouldn't want to try and reduce the stress ? Unless you are stubborn and want to do what you can to hold onto the stress lol
Your presenttion was brief, understandable, and I think it will help. THANK YOU
I always have my a/c on at 65 at night and it gets freezing in my house. My girlfriend and mom think im crazy but it definitely helps me fall asleep because u feel very cozy LOL
I struggled with lack of sleep for more than 2 years and believed there was clearly no cure for me. Not until a psychological behavioral therapist encouraged this specific plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* It help me know about science the way we sleep at night. And every night, I can now sleep normally. I enjoy slumbering in the mattress again.. .
Omg I am blown away that is exactly what it is thank you
I can barely sleep and I have a bunch of energy during the day, but at night the energy won't quit so I sleep 5-3 hours.
Howz ur sleep now

try this
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_dannyhiggins314.SleepRain
hui yin yap That stuff will not help you sleep. Just wait until you are tired and go to sleep, no matter what time it is.
Eating plain organic lettuce also helps because of the sleep inducing sap many lettuces naturally produce. Bowl of lettuce before bed, particularly baby spring mix - try it.
Finally I real human doctor who doesn't prescribe you damn pills for everything. We need more doctors like him!
Get rest. My mom said it the best self care you can do. Namaste love and light. Thus be last post. I must get busy Living. Change old habit and grow. Much love. Ring sent.
I fell asleep watching this. Thank You! ROFL
Doctor, I have this problem for many years , right now I'm experiencing palpitation because of the anxiety of not falling to sleep, I think I should meet a specialist for this matter, this is one of the biggest challenge in my life, all evening I'm bearing this pressure whether I will sleep well or not, I'm also spending my stressful exam period and my sleep disorder is just killing me.
