Thank you so much Dr Emovon on RU-vid for all your hard work and support during this difficult time. Your humility, kindness, and strength are greatly appreciated. Keep being the best doctor that you are. for curing me from bad breath totally without any side effects.
Thank you for this. I didn’t know this might be due to my sleep apnea! I’ve also got fibromyalgia and I’m 47 so it could be hormones too 😂 I’ve been confused as everyone calls it nights sweats but I don’t wake up sweating just really, really hot! Does this point in the direction of one thing over another? Thank you again from a new subscriber in Australia 🇦🇺 😊
I feel very confused cuz i think i influence how i feel about y ruotine. I´ve tried waking up and goind to sleep at many different hours, but i feel like i am tired regardless of the time i wake uo or go to sleep. Like i donpt remeber the last time i woke up feeling energized. But also i´ve never really had any trouble sleep, i can sleep anywhere at any moment. I did the test and it said i was a bear, but i,ve never felt comfortable waking up before 5 am. Currently i wake up at 3 am, so i think because of that i´m more like a lion, but still, i never feel energized, and most of the time wish i didn´t have to sleep so i could get more done. Any one has any insight to what i can be doing wrong?
Thats dumb. You make yourself more tired by laying in bed. People who set many alarms and snooze them are a pet peeve for me. When i set an alarm i jump up and start my day. Im never tired and im full of energy and i still remeber my dreams
I was surprised you didn’t mention the amount of water you drink per day. Dehydration is definitely linked to bad sleep, and it is rarely brought up by doctors I suggest you incorporate that in your talks as well. Thank you for your information. I found most of this to be very helpful for me.
Looks like you featured the climate air tubing, but how do you actually clean it? Do you submerge everything? It looks like it has some electronic component.
Okay, I don’t know if it was to be blamed on the edit and the minute you had to record. But explain to me, what do you think a person can afford to consume that doesn’t have sugar? You have to explain that complex carbs are healthier due to the biochemical reaction. Do not ever say “sugar” as a blanket statement. Repulsive
I increased my magnesium & B stress Complex & Vit D3 with K2 and the restless leg and burning foot pain has dissapeared. Most of us are not getting enough exposure to sunlight & thus not making enough Vit D 3 which is not rrally a hormone but rather a Hormone precurser.
I’m 78 and a Vietnam veteran with PTSD. For the last 10 years or so I’ve tried prescribed sleeping pills, taken over the counter medications, CBD and last of all Melatonin. All of these things left me with a morning “hang over”. Now I still use chainsaws, tractors and such so don’t need to start my day feeling dopey! I started experimenting with meditation when I was 16 and lately have been using self hypnosis as a tool in many ways. After rejecting Melatonin I was desperate for more than 4 hours sleep a night and started to experiment using self hypnosis before I try to go to sleep. I start off by putting myself in a receptive state and then tell myself I’m going to sleep all night just as if I’ve had a sleeping tablet. I tell myself that if intrusive thoughts keep me awake that I will push them away. I was amazed that it was that easy! I’m now sleeping to 7AM and for most of the night, dreaming more too. If you learn to program your own mind it’s amazing what you can achieve!
I'm fifty six and suffering with sleeping disorder.Sometimes i sleep whole night without disruption but sometimes i awake whole night. I think im suffering from insomnia. So doctor prescribed me medication but i never taken daily.Thank u doctor for ur valueable advice from India 🙏😔
I need help if you don't mind. I took an at home sleep test that my general practitioner prescribed and he told me I have sleep apnea and I've been on CPAP ever since; about three years. But without the CPAP, I only have trouble breathing through my nose. If I breathe through my mouth, I can breathe freely. Is there something I could use; even just for camping or power outages, that would let me sleep without my CPAP? Or should I see an ENT specialist to find out more about my blockage? Maybe there's a surgery? My doctor doesn't know all that much about sleep issues
It's so amazing to me to listen to you, which I'm doing because I woke up last night and couldn't go back to sleep. This rarely happens since I started taking Magnesium Threonate a few months ago, but last night it did and I slept 3 hours. I was a bit grumpy but still got up and worked out fighting that I'd get through it and I'll probably go to bed tonight and sleep 8 or 9 hours. What's really interesting to me is that I feel like I'm from a different planet than the people that you talk about . I'm 75, I exercise almost every day for 2 or 4 hours ( what else am I going to do with my time now that I'm hardly working?). I never nap and generally go from 5:30 or 6am to around 10 o'clock at night. I take a few supplements, no medications ever unless I'm really sick, and generally eat 2 meals a day, intermittent fasting for 16 hours. I only consume coffee on special occasions and I do drink a cup of black tea in the morning. I never seem to run out of energy and certainly I have more energy now, than I had at the end of my working career. When I look at what most people's Idea of older people look like, I can't Identify at all. I'm an expat in Bali and I suppose I live a sheltered life. I certainly feel better about missing the occasional night of sleep after watching this. Good luck to you and all the people who need you.
I have found that cannabis can keep you awake linger or so it seems so perhaps best not to have it late in the evening. I think it's psychoactive properties can stimulate the brain and keep you awake too long.
Dr, maybe I missed it. Apology then. You are not taking about screentime eg cellphones, lighting, exercise and being overweight contributing to sleep apnea etc. All I hear is pharma products which worries me. Have a great day
I struggle with sleep so I usually need to be in bed for atleast 12hrs to be able to actually sleep close to 8hrs. I take more than 2hrs to knock out. I subtract another 2hrs of getting up to pee and then tossing and turning.
I wake up after 5-6 hours and I've decided that it's ok. Sometimes I stay in bed and pray, journal or read. Sometimes I get up. I feel ok, so I'm normalizing this amount of sleep for myself at 72.
Sometimes I only sleep for 5 or 6 hours I've even slept for 4 hours but I still woke up feeling good But I get worried all the time because I always hear people on RU-vid saying you have to get this amount of sleep, but what if naturally I can't get that amount of sleep I do struggle to fall asleep that started happening when I started adding salt an electrolyte supplements to my diet I don't know if that has anything to do with it but that's when I started noticing the falling asleep problems
