I suffered 6 Years Chronic insomnia due to Nicotine i was a hard smoker and a hard gadget user. So yeah but since i quit, smoking (went cold turkey) i started sleeping so good and as early as 9-10Pm at night it's been 1 year and 4 month i drink coffee too between 4-5pm with smokes so it was such a really bad habit i was always angry and irritated i went through depressions as well- i gained so much weight my highest was 75KG my goodness! Now I'm about 58-60kg thank God I was able to get rid of it I'm now 20 Years Old. 🙏🏼🤗
I agree with the exposure to sunlight and exercising everyday as a staple and reading a book before bedtime is a better substitute for looking at your phone to help relax your mind and feel mentally exhausted, but for me it’s always been a lack of time to get everything done and feeling overwhelmed with life’s tasks as it’s hard to be consistent with everything you want to do on a day to day basis which makes you feel stressed if your not feeling positive emotions before going to bed. Mood for me is always going to impact my sleep more than anything else 😔
Half the information is common sense, the other half is sponsored/marketing products with barely any science based explanation. Supplements like Inotisol definitely require consulting with an expert first, and you lost me at the link to the glasses.
Good video. Ill add a few things. Light intensity is just as important as blue blockers. If you have bright non blue light, this is problematic as well. You also want to have all lights below eye level if you have any on. The retina sensors are scanning upward for light. You also do not want ANY blue leds in your room. Use dim red lights if night lights are needed. Stress management is key for good sleep. If cortisol is elevated, melatonin isn't released so make sure you have a proper wind down period. Do not eat 3 hours before bed as you won't get into deep sleep because the liver active and the body temp and heart rate will stay elevated. You want a COOL room. A key factor for falling asleep is the body needs to drop temperature. :)
As a young man my dr. diagnosed me with TB-Tiny Bladder and I sleep in 2 hour blocks, not long but I do remember dreaming each time before I awake so I must be in REM sleep. Fortunately I'm able to fall back asleep quickly.
Good info, I've been having uneasy sleep, I started setting out in the sun for 30 minutes in the morning while drinking my coffee and it did indeed help my sleep! I started doing this about a year ago. thanks for the tips!
Thank you. I'm improving. But still want more deep sleep. I have a near life time struggle with scoliosis plus the 13 vertebre spinal "experts" deemed necessary when I was only 13 years old. However, studies have suggested that people like me also have serotonin Imbalance. I'm still hopeful to get better sleep and less /no pain.
According to my fitbit, take that as you will, on nights where I have food in my stomach, non-fasting nights, I get more deep sleep- about 15 to 20 minutes more.
@@HealthCoachKait yes. I'm waiting to hear some more reviews on the New oura ring before I purchase it. Gotten a few mixed ones, and I'm just not ready to buy just yet.
@@johngoodhue3410 oh if it has HRV it could be pretty accurate! I have actually been meaning to do a review video on the new Oura (been using it since it released) but keep pushing it back. Maybe I will film that next week!
@@johngoodhue3410 very inetresting about deep sleep when you're not fasting though. Something I have noticed consistently after tracking my sleep for years is if I eat too much in a day, or eat too close to bedtime, my HRV tanks. Haven't correlated it to deep sleep specifically though.
What worked fr me: 1. Sleep early, aim fr 8-9hrs of sleep(5-6 sleep cycles). 2. Eat two hours befre sleep. 3. Never oversleep, wake up at at the same time. 4. Don't nap longer than 30min 5. Sunlight befre 10am helps set ur circadian rythym. 6. Morning exercise helps. 7. Wind down 1 hr befre ur target sleep time & dim ur lights if ur reading. 8. Blue light is ur ememy. 9. If ur still up, ur cortisol levels ar to blame, personally Ashwagandha(adaptogen) helped me manage my stress. 10. Last but not least, consistency is important! Hope this helps you!
The alcohol really affects me and watching RU-vid on my phone at night does not help either and unfortunately I’m addicted to it and I noticed I don’t sleep real deeply until close to morning and if I have to get up early in a wreck.
Ugh!!! I can never sleep passed 2am no matter how early I go to bed. I usually try to get in the bed at 930pm. But I’m always back up around 2-230am. 😔
Thank you! I've been scouring the net for sws/deep sleep tips since I got two 15min nights in a row and felt the worst ever. What a rabbit hole but thanks, I didn't come across inositol for this yet. I was wondering if a mild walk in the woods at sunset helps by being relaxing. Matt Walker suggests you need 1. Energy 2. Relaxation, both to get sws. Also, whatever helps remove beta plaque in your brain, helps sws which will further remove plaque.
Thank You! I'm in bad shape. I have to get up every hour to go to the bathroom. None the less, I notice if I reach a true deep sleep, I don't have to go. I'm going try the morning walk and coffee time. I've been immobile for so long now it is hard. Thank You!
Great video with very helpful information thank you. One thing though you may want to do something about the area you record in. I can hear the reverberations from around you and makes your voice seem high pitched and overly loud. Just trying to help.
Thanks for the video. I am trying to increase my deep sleep as part of MS healing. I live in Michigan where many mornings are overcast. Does sitting out on those days help reset my circadian rhythm?
What recommendations can you give to parents of toddlers for achieving the third sleep stage? Right now, my daughter is 2.5 years old and is nearing the end of potty training. She wakes up two times in the middle of the night each night to use the bathroom and needs help with using the potty. This means I get woken up twice every night. How do I reach the deep sleep stage with this kind of lifestyle? (I anticipate she will need my help going potty in the middle of the night for at least a couple of more years.)
I have read some theories that babies are designed to wake up frequently and the sparse sleep cycle parents are on helps them make specific kind of attachment memories.
I was under too mush stress and depression but lost weigh last year and have sleep more just not more than 4 hours but I have hope it well get better as my sugar levels are lower now I I'm 64 so it takes time
I cannot get ANY sleep a at all. Last night I went to bed at 1030 I finally got to sleep at around 530 am and woke up at 7. This is most nights. I usually get one good night's sleep a week.
Interesting didn't even mention Magnesium, ashwagandha, or tryptophan. A well formulated Magnesium alone would be beneficial for most ppl e.g. Citrate or bisglycinate
Hey there! I don't drink but I do smoke pot/hemp delta 8, 9 and 10 and even edibles. Mainly b/c I have a difficult time 1. Falling asleep; 2. Staying asleep. But u still have a difficult time. Do you think smoking pot (not a lot, I don't go ham to get blitzed just to sleep) keeps me from getting good sleep?
I'm an older adult, IF 18 to 20 hrs, absolutely no sugar or alcohol, daily morning walk. Wake-up several times to urinate, although I do most of my hydration in the am. Any suggestions for nocturia?
I will try the Inositol. I hate not sleeping well. I don't drink and we have an awesome mattress, so that's not my issue. I've had insomnia my whole life. When I did the Self-Decode testing I found that my genetics pre-dispose me to it. I was bummed. I honestly think that 50% of getting into remission w/ my A.I. is all about sleep. It's such a vicious cycle.
Damn that is frustrating 😥 You can only do what you can with the cards you are dealt. Have you used melatonin before? You don't want to use it all the time but if you're really having trouble falling asleep it will have you out like a light.
Im 14M and I know i get no deep sleep because im conceoius and i feel emotions during my dreams. I sleep On my sides sometimes, I have 2 pillows On my neck thats about it
I haven't seen a good video about water. Water and keto. Or water and intermittent fasting . Like how much is too much how much is too little Salt .. Pottasium .. Magnesium .. Electrolytes are always discussed but the amounts are all over the place . I've seen suggestions of 1 and half teaspoons salt per day but how much water .. What point would you need more ?
Melatonin should only be used in rare instances (such as to readjust from jetlag). If you take it regularly your body won't produce it anymore and then you will REALLY have trouble sleeping 😥
It is a short-term solution and I use if when traveling (switching timezones) and if I really can't fall asleep. But regular use causes your body to not produce it naturally... Which REALLY screws you up.
i heard someone else mention Inositol - I really want to try it now. Are there any potential side effects from using this supplement? I know I tried Ashwagandha for a month & had some bad side effects from it
If you read up on the Ashwagandha it also does something to your hair at the root which results in hair loss. I took it for a month and my hair is a lot thinner😒
@@ShervinShares that's why it's best to look it up. I'm always too busy it seems like until something adverse happens then I'm all over the place trying to find info lol. Also remember, not everything on the internet is true. Look up info on the supplement your thinking about taking the go to a completely different site and see if it says the same thing or something different. Kait has an Instagram account and I will send her my questions via message there. She tries to answer asap but sometimes it can take her a little bit to get back with you. She gets a ton of questions. Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for 😁
@@HealthCoachKait no I don’t. I was wearing them all day while I work in front of my computer but my husband suggested trying to wear them only after sunset/before bed to see if it makes a difference with my sleep.
@@dsison18 ok that makes sense! You don't want to be wearing those ones during the day, only after sunset. Some blue light (ideally natural from the sun) is good during the day. It signals our body that it is daytime and hormones to keep us energized are released. If you are wearing glasses that block it out entirely this can cause issues. I explain more about this in a video I posted a couple weeks ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fv-Z56GigkU.html
I can say that after I stopped drinking alcohol, my sleeping was really bad after. Yes everyone says you'll have a great night sleep after you stop drinking alcohol, but i use to drink to sleep, so when I stopped all together my sleep rhythm was all fucked up. It took a loooooong time to get back to normal. Better nights of sleep then bad ones now ah days. PS: gonna implement more exercise to my daily life, i have to much Anxiety energy that i need to burn before bed .
Hahaha I am tanned, golden tan skin mean I got plenty daylight walking and hiking, but often now my sleeping is not as good as before. I stopped watching movie on screen TV but spending lots of time on Media and youtube through smart phone. That's the big problem happened since I got a cellphone 6 years new. Didn't like it, daughter made me have it. Modern time and technology is a bad thing that affect seriously our health. Ignore yor phone after 7 pm, mute all calls and texts. Problem fixed!
