t might also just be metabolic, I was over exercising obsessed with cardio, under eating and not getting enough carbs which resulted in several nutritional deficiencies after 6 years etc (thought I was being healthy, felt great in the initial years) unknowingly I was putting my body in a catabolic state which will cause the body to stay awake and alert, as it is meant to. Think about what you are doing and what messages you are sending to your central nervous system via the way you eat, exercise and live...you might be putting your body in survival mode and the body is simply doing what its meant to be doing. I cut back and changed the way I exercise opting for more anabolic promoting activities with ample recovery time, ate more frequent balanced meals, avoided stimulants and recently quit alcohol. It has taken a long time for my body to balance out and recover, I now don't even need to bother with or think about sleep hygiene, I get tired and sleep. I hope this helps someone in a similar predicament, the worst part is not knowing what is happening, how to recover. and no one seems to be able to help. You can't relax, meditate or think your way out of a catabolic state....Give your body what it needs and your central nervous system and mind will calm and deep sleep will return.
This is literally the most helpful video I've seen on TH-cam. The explanation was easy and realistic. Thanks for posting it. I'm gonna follow it. I hope more and more people see this and get benefitted.❤️
“I used to be the world’s worst sleeper. It would take me between 2 and 4 hours to fall asleep” Ha ha ha. Come and chat to me when you’ve been awake for 5 days straight and you’re still not tired.
This one I'll have to rewatch several times.❤🙏 4:50 - very true. When I was wrting some fan-fiction stories, I stumbled upon this very trick. The feeling of relief after I jumped out of my bed and immediately wrote down some stupid fantasies was enourmous and sleeping was greate afterwards. Great video again, thank you. I'm just curious, are you a professor? Your manner of getting information across to the audience is brilliant and refined. 👍
i laways had anxiety. but recently its been harder and harder to sleep, and i had one or two night without any sleep, witch worsen my anxiety and now a NEW fear to sleep and anger to myself for not be able to rest. i had some meds that worked but after a while it made everything worse. And fearing becoming sick. so i really apreciate everything you said, im going to try it. sorry not my native language

I have literally listen too many videos and listen to music, ate a banana BEFORE going to sleep, taken a hot shower, drank too too many verbal teas, NOTHING has helped! My brain simple DOES NOT want to be lazy and sleep.
I can reccommend either of two books as a cure for insomnia. They are: - 'A Critique of Pure Reason' by Immanuel Kant - 'Capital' by Karl Marx. I challenge anyone to get past the first page of either without falling asleep.
You need to identify the root cause of the problem. I could fix my insomnia in 1 week. What u have to do is this: Don't use your phone for 1 week. Just use it for important messages. Meditate 🧘♂️ once a day. Set an alarm for 10 minutes. Close your eyes. And just breathe in and breathe out through your nose. Doing those two things you will stop the stream of thought distracting you front the present moment. Take care guys and sweet dreams 😊
Excellent presentation. I can't tell you how infintely annoying it bacame listening to Dr. Mandell guarantee sleep to an insomniac. (no offense Dr. Mandell). It just made matters worse adding to the extensive list of supplements (all worthless-for me that is), Blue light blocking glasses. etc etc ad infinitum. Attitude is everything. Along with as you advise , reading something at least for me that is intructive and positive on my Kindle. Books on self awareness. Also the breathing technique you mention that although doesn't always put me to sleep reduces my heart rate and relaxes me. Also I use Yoga Nidra TH-cam videos. However the biggest lesson is to see it positively and using it for good. Hey at least I was learning or resting. The last thing that didnt work was bananna with cinnamon and peanut butter. Now I laugh at that nonsense. Thanks
Two and four hours? I’ve been awake for 48 hours now. I think I just beat you as the worlds worst sleeper. In all seriousness, I know it’s not a competition and I’m glad you managed to get over your insomnia. At the moment, I’m just unable to sleep. I’m putting all these techniques into practice, but nothing really works just yet. Hard to get past the hypnic jerks that completely jolt you out of any sort of sleep state that you might fall into. Did you used to get hypnic jerks? Either way, I do appreciate this video. I like that it’s a no nonsense straight to the point video.
It's ok -- If you're using that sleepless time for productive reflection, gratitude, etc., then it can still be productive! Hang in there and keep at it. The mental peace will come. (Also protip: Keep your room < 67 degrees F.)

Peace with God to
No sleep at all my big problem😊
😴 sleep is so important. Hopefully, you find a system/routine that works for you soon!
you are not alone lol. I think I lost ability to sleep.
The paradox about insomnia is that its cure is actually the opposite. Not wanting to fix it
I have literally listen too many videos and listen to music, ate a banana BEFORE going to sleep, taken a hot shower, drank too too many verbal teas, NOTHING has helped! My brain simple DOES NOT want to be lazy and sleep.
It may depend on level of serotonin in your body, taking Zink may help to improve your serotonin level.
I had the same problem and I treated with it
Supplement brand is so important, I used nature made brand
@@mmsn13Zink ? What is that vitamin tablet?
@@mmsn13 pls tell me more i just don't get drowsy at all not to talk of falling asleep and it been 3yrs.
Reading a book or magazine will make you sleepy.
Very true! Plus even if it doesn't work immediately that's reading time you may not have otherwise worked into your day so it's like a win/win 🏆
Restless legs and no sleep. Now what do I do?
Hope you were able to find some relief!
ty!!
You're welcome. Enjoy some zzzzz's 😴
