How to Sleep BETTER and SMARTER | Jim Kwik 

How's your sleep? Subscribe so we can learn together.🧠

Before going to bed, I turn off all lights ( 30 minutes before) then I always look at the sky, and the trees and try to feel nature. It relaxes my mind and body. It's a stupendous feeling.

Past two years ...this has been my schedule: 8:30 pm in bed [if I'm sleep or not]; 4:00am alarm, 4:15 am get up, 5:10am gym, 6:10 am prayer/meditation... this has made a big difference in my life.🙏

My sleeps bad. Lol I just woke up in the middle of the night and saw this video as a recommendation.

Jim Kwik is the loving father I didn't have for long enough. Thank you sir

Here are some tips to sleep better: - Go to sleep and get up at the same time every day. - Do not drink caffeine a few hours before bed. - Do not eat or practice a few hours before sleep. - Dedicate the area just for sleep. - Do not use devices before sleep. - Make the bedroom as dark as possible. - Take a warm bath before sleep. - Adjust the temperature, make it cool. - Make the bedroom quite. - Set the environment accordingly. - Make the good habits easy to do it, and the bad habits difficult to do it. - Write down a few things that you appreciate before sleep. - Write down your dreams when you wake up. - Keep a fictional book on your bedside.

I made a habit of going to sleep at 9 p.m. and I wake up at 5 a.m. Sometimes when I have r.e.m. sleep I usually wake up a couple of minutes before the alarm. When I dream, then I know I had r.e.m. sleep which is that deep sleep that we all need. If you dream during sleep, you have r.e.m., you have quality sleep. 1. I stop staying on any electronic device which emits blue light, 90 minutes before bed. I put some relaxing soothing music or read a book (with actual paper pages). 2. I take a shower before bed time, which helps, as you said. A very good amount of information can be found in this book I started reading - Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to a Better Body, Better Health, and Bigger Success - Book by Shawn Stevenson. Very useful info in this video aswell. Thank you Jim for all that you teach us. Love your videos. They are very insightful and to the point, with great tips. Many blessings!

I initially sufferred from insomnia (maintenance insomnia) and it has hindered my learning, as I would get brain fog and I felt like I cannot process any information , however, after reading Jim's book Limitless and doing all the little exercises at the end of each chapter my sleep has improved, the rate at which I learn new things, my focus, memory, and it improved my life overall. Jim has really helped me improve my life for the better and that is much appreciated. Thanks Jim!!!

I used to have horrible fatigue and brain fog, and the biggest game changer for me was making myself wake up at sun rise and get outside immediately to get sunlight first thing in the a.m. for 15-20 min. Before then I had tried all kinds of bedtime rituals, but for some reason starting my day with sunlight is what finally helped reset my brain to sleep better at night. Thanks for the great tips!

Thanks, your advices are super useful!

Thank you for the speak is very useful!

Thank you so much for this informative video

Thanks a lot Jim 🙏

I love you! You are so generous ❤❤❤❤

thank you so much Jim, I learned a lot of things by watching your channel

I go to bed with making my body and mind feel like so vibrant & powerful by imagining and visualizing. And I keep my vibration to match with all the things I want. Thank you always for all the lessons ❤

Thank you for sharing

The podcast Nothing Much Happens has helped me SO much with sleep because it’s calming and soothing and it keeps my mind from wandering off into anxious thoughts or just thinking too much.

Dear Jim Kwik thanks a lot for showing me the way

Thank you. I really like learning from you. You have a great demeanor to teach and inspire people to do better without looking righteous.

really informing video ty.

I also have water on my night stand as well as my prayer book, journal and an inspirational book. Thx for your channel on brain information. 🙏

Not all superheroes wear capes. Thank you, sir Jim. ❤❤❤ You're truly an inspiration.

Thank you sir.l use to do journal before sleep..got so new insights from this information surely gonna follow atlest 3..fix sleep & wake up time,no device for an hour before and after sleep,maintaining to the best of possible- environment,light,temperature .😊

Thanks Jim for the life changing tips. Before I speed I say a mantra to remember my dreams. This enables me to lucid dream. When I lucid dream,I can clearly remember my dreams when I wake up. From today tips I will add a fiction book

Thanks for talking about boosting your EQ as well as your IQ with reading fiction.... building creativity & empathy is exciting to me.

Chanting and scanning the body is my go to routine ❤

I sleep about 7 hours, my younger days I did have problem with my sleep..These videos makes a huge difference...Thanks very much

This works for me and I love to share it to you all. I always pray before I sleep. If you don't believe in God, to the universe, or to someone higher than you. It helps me ease my anxiety knowing that there's someone higher than me who loves me so much. I always talk to God before bed, sharing my day and telling Him what's on my mind.

Bed at 730, sleep at 8, up at 4, pretty much every day, other than special occasions, like going out with friends or such. I live in a rural area so it's generally quiet, other than crickets, and dark. No street lights, and neighbors are 100+ yards away with trees blocking them. I do slightly break the device rule. I have to have a phone nearby for work, and I do my Journaling, planning, and other things electronically. Plus my phone controls many functions in the house, like lights, alarm, temp, and more. I do use it in dark mode though with the screen as dim as possible. Lastly, Daniel Amen laid out a very useful self hypnosis process in one of his books that I have been using every night for several months to help get to sleep quickly. I think it's from Change your Brain, Change your Life.

I love this kind of films when I am watching them insted of doing things that film teach...

I struggled sleeping and usually only got 5-6 hours of sleep. I watched and implemented the tips from this video, and I slept almost 8 hours last night. Wow! They are all natural and practical methods too. Thanks.

I read a fiction book to my kids at their bedtime, between 8:30-9:30 pm. Interestingly, with Daylight Savings Time when our clocks shift *forward* I can hardly finish a chapter before I've nodded off to sleep. During the winter season it was much easier to stay awake beyond that time. The effect of DST was pretty immediate this year.

Thanks 🙏 for your recommendation for sleep 😊

thanks jim!

I have a fiction book, water, and an alarm clock. I have to move my phone though. Did not know about not looking at the phone for at least 30 minutes when I wake up. Thank you! Can't wait to implement these ideas.

I just began setting my water the night before and it's a such a simple game changer!

One of the best channels on utube

I take epsom salt baths 5 times per week, I cut out caffeine by noon, and either practice classical guitar or piano instead of watching tv at night. It's relaxing and works my creative brain a little before bed, it tires me out. Low lights help and I often play summer cricket back ground noise to slow my thoughts, or listen to a fiction audio book and set the sleep timer. That keeps my brain from spinning and thinking.

Some things are worth more than money.. i always have a bottle of water beside my bed..Good advise,thanks a lot....

I love listening to Yoga Nidra to relax and fall asleep.

I need to sleep more. But I do enjoy it! I have revamped my entire lifestyle including diet and exercise.

Yes I'm agree with you Sir. Actually i did all these ideas Sir when my work is at nightshift instead my sleep at night, my sleep is morning. But I'm overcome those things of sleep habit through simple ideas you shared.

Thanks for the tip kinfolk ✊🏿

listening to rain sounds in youtube helps me get relax,calm and sleep faster

I agree with everything said in this video but I‘d like to add something as Jim said, we should write what‘s important for us in the comments: Do it! Really. Theory without practice is worth nothing. So go and create your environment, get into a composed, clear and relaxed state of mind and let your body rest for everything it does for you. ( Technically seen the body doesn‘t rest in sleep, it does a lot of regenerative and detoxifying processes: So sleep is important. ) Also I think one of the most important things in life is the mind: Your state of mind determines how you feel. When you‘re in a relaxed state of mind, even noisy environments can be blurred out and you can sleep. Of course it helps to put earplugs into your ears or putting on some relaxing music: My point is judt that the mind is powerful and you can do more with it and influence more ( internally ) with it, than you might think. ;)

Your life story so inspiring

before i go to bed i do a skincare and when i'm in a bed i write a journalist or somethinglike body calm. it can be sleeply mind. and when i've finished the journaling i feel there is no any have to thinking therfore i can sleep easily in a min! i'd recommend the journaling writing!🎉

I like the tips on things to have on my night stand, especially the fiction books. I haven’t made much time for those since I got on this personal development journey, I thought it’d be a distraction; but I’d try it out now. I also wanted to ask what you thought about listening to affirmations as I sleep off? Currently I leave playing an hour and a half sleep affirmation when I go to bed. Is this advisable?

Amazing tê hack brain tips !!

thank you so much you are changing my life with your book. from iran

Thank you

Can you please make videos about the functions of the unconscious mind while we're a sleep. + How to have more quality sleep in less time. Thanks

Alright Keep Me reminded

Thanks man, you know how to talk quietly to❤

I do everything you said , plus I take Peak Rest from Peter Diamandis’ LifeForce . Super helpful being used with all the other tips 🙏🏻🌹✨🙏🏻

My alarm clock rings at 9 p.m. to remind me to go to sleep. I sleep with earplugs, so I don't hear the sounds from outside through the open window. The sleep is very deep and relaxing. Sometimes, when my brain is still working on problems, I take valerian to fall asleep faster and deeper, but the morning is tougher then.

I do a body relaxing meditation. Game changer.

Water and a calming painting on the stand

Awesome!

Thank you Jim

Jim, that's great advice. On my nightstand I also have water. I have my Bible. Before I go to sleep I actually turn off my phone and I go to bed around 8 PM because I am an early riser. I do take a shower for about 30 minutes before falling asleep.

Start the sleeping rituals always at the same time. Helps A LOT.

great vid. I do the water bottle by my bed at night. but additionally, I keep two. I drink one right before getting into bed. then in the am, when that water wants out, it wakes me up.

Thank you ❤

Thanks for tips. How do I manage to be focused in my studies?

Thank for reminding me how important it is to have a routine. I want to have a routine, but I always forget.

Hey jim nice sleeping advice

I've struggled with sleep most of my life. Thank you for your help! 😊

Stretching helps me sleep better. I do stretches that I need the most. Plow pose forward bends backward bends.

I don't have a sleep routine but rather morning one. I express things I'm grateful for. I pray nd meditate. I drink coffee and a cup of warm water.

I plan to stop eating by a certain time. Turning the light down on my phone. And setting healthy boundaries let people know when I’m not available and put my phone in focus sleep mode.

Thanks

Thanks for this great information! I generally fall asleep immediately, but find I wake up around 3-4 to go to bathroom, and then often can't go back to sleep. I do notice if I get more fresh air, and exercise during the day I sleep through the night. I have a concern: I cannot remember any of my dreams, although I know I've dreamt. I can wake up in a dream and forget it. I am concerned its connected with short term memory loss (which I'm experiencing to some degree). I am 80 years old, and in excellent health. I take no medications whatsoever. Do have any thoughts about this? I just found your channel, you may have previously addressed this. Thank you!

Art zone to practice with great sleep ❤🎉😊🎉 the best

I write journal and do sleep meditation

It’s relaxing to watch a good hallmark movie in the evening before my bedtime!👍

My house is really really hot the entire day. I like to go to the gym in the mornings, but a lot of times the weather makes me feel uncomfortable when I wake up, so I was declining with this good habit. So what I did is to start setting up my gym outfit, this helped me a lot because I don't have to move around. Now I go to take a shower and get ready to train, I connect this habit whit Jim's idea to make the essential things easy for you.

I take trazodone to fall asleep every night. I recently started tracking my sleep via my Apple Watch and it looks like I really don’t get GREAT sleep every night. I may possibly have sleep apnea but I don’t want to get one of those masks. So I’ll just keep suffering and trying to get what sleep I can. Apparently last night I got …17 minutes of “deep” sleep. 😅 Additionally: just finished the video and I never thought about fiction vs non-fiction before bed. I’ve been reading non-fiction books but it actually makes more sense to read fiction. I’m going to try this tonight!

i dont know you guys found it strange or not but the book of Jim Kwik in the back just compels my subconcious mind to read or buy it

Falling to sleep in about a minute. What a gift. Hahaha. But having some problems in the morning getting ready. Beside the bed ist just water, light and a book. Before sleeping it helps me reading some light stuff or having a nice chat with my flatmate or girlfriend. Also I open the window for a while to get cold and fresh air.

yes we are together in this .....

This man is simple a genius 🤝

This is something I’ve learned from one of the people I also consider my mentor: Rob Dial. I started taking 2-3 caps of magnesium before sleeping and it definitely helped me get a restful sleep even tho I usually only get 6-7 hrs of sleep. I’ve also read somewhere that the best time to sleep is around 9pm-4am as it is when our brain recharge best compared to other time.

Great tips right there but I’ve a different problem when it comes to my sleep. Honestly my sleep schedule is very irregular. On most school days I sleep for about 3-4 hrs and on weekends about 8-9. I’m chronically sleep deprived and struggle to keep my focus at school. I’ve even witnessed it affect my academic performance. The thing is, sometimes even if I’m sleepy I can’t fall asleep because my mind stays awake, so I often find my self taking melatonin. I believe my problem also lies in studying till late at night which stimulates my brain, not to mention that I usually study till 1 AM. I need better time management to be able to finish my studying early on but I’m usually so tired during the day that I find it hard to do so.

Setting intentions makes so much sense now. On important days I would always wake up a few minutes before the alarm goes off. My sleep is so irregular. I am hoping to find a routine that will work. 3 days a week I have to wake up a 3am. well, waking up a 3am every day will surely get a lot of studying done.

I practice the 4-7-8 breathing to fall asleep faster.

Something I like to do that helps with anxiety is spray myself and my bed with a fingertip sprayer full of water with some lavender and jasmine essential oil in it. Both of these essential oils are relaxing and calming scents that help in falling asleep, but if that doesn't work, I have a sleep lotion with melatonin in it that I smell and put on before bed when the anxiety is bad.

Helpfull

So much informative 👌 great job 😊 I'm from India I want to know is mantra chanting helps for brain health and sleep??

I am 49y old and I sleep now for several years around 6h per night. Sometimes 5h and sometimes 7h. 8h sleep is very rare. I feel that 7h is usually enough for me, but because I feel I am sleep deprived I have noticed I am gaining slowly weight and also I am less confident and get irritated under pressure. The problem is that I work behind computer as compositing artist 8h per day and I really like my job and later after work I go home and watch some tutorials on RU-vid. And this is probably the reason I can't fall asleep as I get too much bright light. Lately I have found that one good way to go to sleep is physical activity before some book reading and cool fresh air in bedroom. Sadly I have to fight with my wife about opening window because she feels constantly cold.

My go to for winding down is to listen to "Spectrum Suite" by Halpren in our lazby. I also like my bed very warm when I slip into it, so I try to reheat the pillow and neck with a heating pad which I turn off when getting under the covers. 😴

These suggestions are great. But sometimes it is because of lack of certain nutrition. For me after taking iron and magnesium supplement, I sleep better now.

My tip is to be balanced inside and have no doubts and unfinished thoughts
