This video is about how to fall asleep fast. If you have been having a hard time falling asleep, it might be because of physical issues. But, for most people, they can't fall asleep fast because of their thoughts. The thoughts that prevent you from falling asleep fast fall into 2 major categories. 1) Thoughts about life 2) Thoughts about falling asleep. The answer to the question of how to fall asleep fast is by addressing these thoughts. For thoughts about life, write down the thoughts that keep playing in your mind over and over again and then question their validity. You can use my web app or ebook. For thoughts about falling asleep fast, you need to discover that not getting sleep might be better for your success or your happiness. As long as you think that not falling asleep would be bad for your life, you will fear it. If you fear it, you will think about how to fall asleep. Those thoughts will prevent you from falling asleep fast.
Hope this video about how to fall asleep fast helps you.

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?

@Thomakos 6 лет назад

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

@colstonkayce5301 6 лет назад

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.

+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?

@gaminguniverse888 4 года назад

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!

@scottev954 7 лет назад

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.

@Voltermort 8 лет назад

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

Sincerely THANK YOU from a random person you have never met in the UK.

@kathiewintersmoe5157 9 лет назад

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.

@STUPIDYOUTUBE_HIDINGMSGS 8 лет назад

Noah, the fear that I have is not getting enough sleep then the effects on my face and eye and body is tremendous. My eyebags will be too visible, my body is feeling numb and I get tired easily doing any sport or activity, so when I worry about not getting enough sleep, that's when the vicious cycle starts, because then I lose sleep, then the effects will be realized, the fears that I have starts to happen, then I wake up with big eyebags, I will be so tired, and so on and so forth. It is really a vicious cycle - fearing not sleeping because of bad effects, then I worry, then everything that I fear happens! You nailed it at around 6:30, that's the vicious cycle, you worry, then when your mind wants to sleep, the brain still wants to think about how to sleep!

@dnlamd 5 лет назад

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.

Hello Noah. Your videos are amazing and there's so much to learn from each of them. I was hoping however, if you could please help with 'incessant sleeping during depression'.
