My sister works as an auxiliary nurse (health care). At the end of her working-week, she sleeps the entire first day off, undisturbed. A whole 24 to 36 hours of sleep. She might get up to use the bathroom and then goes right back to bed. One time I read about it being called "sleep debt".
@@IndyLaLune yes, from what I can tell. She works without break, sometimes sleeping 8 hours in total over the span of one such week. I've been there too. You just can't move anymore, until you recover by resting.
@@GloriamMonarchia I really doubt that's healthy, Ive been taught that anything that isnt 6-8 hours of organized sleep per day is bad. Ill make sure to investigate more on the subject as I have sleep issues myself. Thanks a bunch!
Many of you: It's normal to not wake up "energised". Waking up and jumping out of bed like a happy lunatic is the stuff of TV adverts. This is because it takes plenty of time for your body neurochemistry to adjust to being awake. Don't worry. If you're extremely tired however. Sort it out.
The experts always say “ get enough sleep” as if it were that easy. If I could sleep more than three hours a night, I would be happy to do so. Insomnia is real!! 😩
Pedro Henrique Sleep inception is not the answer. Normal sleep=1^1, sleep in your dreams=1^2, sleep in your Dream while you sleep in another dream=1^3... mathematically it will always be just 1.
1. Stop snoozing ~ wake up without an alarm 2. Get enough sleep ~ sleep as long as you need 3. Rehydrate and get the blood flowing ~ drink water as soon as you wake up 4. Avoid screens before bed ~ stops melatonin from being made in the body
I noticed that the earlier I go to bed, the more energized and "awake" I am the next day - even if the amount of sleep is the same as if I go to bed late. My problem is: I like staying up and going to bed late. I am more creative late at night.
Can you answer these 3 questions? (I'm doing Market Research) 1. What do you feel when you can't sleep ? 2. If you had 3 wishes, what whould they be? (about sleep) 3. What do you Believe is the main solution for your Problem?
XxWraith24xX but what quality of sleep will it be? You might fall asleep but your melatonin productivity time will be two hours behind. Which means 2 hours of your sleep will be of shitty quality. People think they sleep ok but they don’t. The repair mechanism the body goes through during sleep is affected if your melatonin is too low at the point of falling asleep. Body is most affective at this repair mechanism between 10 pm and 2 am. If your not in bed by 9:30 every night your getting shitty sleep
@Devil’s Advocate, can you please define ‘proper human being’? I have a feeling that everyone meets that criteria. Let’s see, shall we? 1: Is a human 2: Exists. Bam. *Proper Human Being.* Also, extra points for kindness, a quality that you seem to lack.
Make a to do list(planner)the day before. It will help you to get a clear vision about the day and make you more relaxed in the morning (if you can start any of the task at the night itself-much better😇)
What I'm doing personally, I go in my bed around 9pm every nights and I wake up at 5.40am, this makes me feel good, I get enough sleep and I got plenty of time to do things before school. Hope you'll sleep better
At the beginning of 2021 I started going to bed at 11pm and would read a book for an hour before that. I slowly stared to wake up at exactly 7am. I felt energised and would always start my day in a good mood. I slowly lost that routine because of work and college and now I feel like shit again 😂 I'm trying to get back on track and I have to remind myself everyday how good I used to feel back then...
It’s quite hard for me to start all activities at the same time. So I’m going to start “stop snoozing” first. And if I can succeed it, I will try the other as well. Thank you for your productive information as always.
Tbh, its not the school's fault why we arent able to have enough sleep, Its actually us that doesnt manage our time well with entertainment and studying, I always regret when I don't do homeworks and projects earlier but I havent changed 😑 But i still managed to finish everything in a day which was so stressful and I didnt want to experience that again but ugh...I still havent changed after years of doing the same habit 😅
@@francesjoshuacomo5485 I know that feeling... so many times i have promised myself i will do my things before the deadline but most of the time i still do it on the same day, or finish on the same day as the deadline. But i haven't lost faith that one i will conquer this and feel less stressed as a result. We can do it!
@@francesjoshuacomo5485 i would same yes but when i was in highschool i always had WAY too much homework. I knew how to time manage and i did. I worked in the car on the way to and back from school as well as through lunch. It was common for me to be up until 11/12 doing homework.
Getting in a morning routine is huge. I started going to the gym at 6:15 am every day. The first few days it was ROUGH but I powered through it. After a few days it actually started feeling normal, then before long it became a routine. Waking up early was no longer an issue and on non-gym days I would wake up early anyways and have to try and convince my body that it was okay to sleep more.
Thank you for this video! We all know this stuff (most of it, at least), yet we all tend to repeat same mistakes over and over again… Cheers to you, the Creator!
We can all learn to wake up without an alarm. But not if we sit on our phones all night or watch Tv, or eat before bed. Our natural sleeping hours should be 8pm to 4 am. If everyone did this they would wake up at 4 am without an alarm. Most people would not do this because they don’t have enough discipline
Richard Tooth you think it’s simply lack of discipline? Some of us have to work and study. I arrive from college at midnight and have to wake up 6 am to go to work. It’s not lack of discipline!!
Another tip is to actually have a strong purpose to wake up early. Your body might be ready to wake but if your mind feels that there is nothing important to do, it will automatically induce sleepiness. For example, if you want to wake up early on a normal day, it would be tougher compared to waking up early to study/catch a flight or a train etc..
That certainly is an important part of it. I have to get up at 5:20am for workdays but on saturdays, I _do_ need to get up somewhat early as there's still stuff to take care of but the "eh... I can just start a bit later" tries reeeally hard to take over.
1.) Stop snoozing - Sleep cycle 2.) Get enough sleep-wake up same time everyday 3.) Rehydrate & get the blood flowing & exercise for energy -first thing in the morning 4.) Avoid screens before bed- 2hours before bed(flux, twilight)
Thanks. I will not snooze and Drink water before bed and have a perfect breakfast and stop using gadgets at 9:30 am and sleep 11pm and wake up 7:30 am - 8 am and have a exercise in the morning 💪
@@vantoo7 you don't actually need the sleep to be energized and stuff as a teen (in school), the reason for the high sleep time is because you need to grow and etc.
Reading or thinking great quotes or statements in the morning sets me up for a great day. Today I feel strong and energetic. I wake up with purpose, direction and meaning for my life!
Oh hey everyone! If you're someone who wakes up feeling tired every morning, here I am listing few things I follwed that helped me wake up feeling energetic and might help you as well. 1. Keep your phone down 1 hour before going to bed 2. You might read a book or practice a self care routine in that 1 hour 3. Try sleeping early, for example at 10 pm or 9 pm as per your convenience. I prefer waking up early in the morning because I feel the most productive during that time. Thank you for reading.
VlaDuZa It’s been proven that the schools schedule does not align with the natural circadian cycle of teenagers; and no matter what you do, school will always wake you earlier than your body clock intends. It’s been scientifically proven; so it is in fact schools fault
One thing that improved my sleeping drastically, and yes i know it's difficult for many people, is reducing your intake of alcohol and tobacco. Avoid coffee in the morning and stay away from energy drinks. A little walk or at least a breath of fresh air can do miracles as well as sleeping with a window slightly open, plus,of course, the very good advice in this video! 😉
i have tested and proven that both the "go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day" and the "drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up" are very effective. it's been just five days and i've already gotten into a rhythm where i go to bed (without using my phone) and i wake up naturally around 6:30 (the time i need to wake up for school). when i go to sleep, i pour some water out of a water bottle into my duck song mug (free promotion lol) and go to sleep. then i wake up and drink it. as soon as i'm hydrated, i feel instantly energized. it doesn't wear off, either. when i'm at school in the morning without the water i feel tired and drowsy, however when i drink the water i feel okay and ready to learn. please try these! you'll make a revolutionary change in your sleep!
Your videos shaped my lifestyle and every little thing which anyone can do everyday, I always wonder why you stopped posting videos on your channel. People need more videos like this!!!
This channel did not end up helping me... but i DID get what i wanted by this time... telling a completely depressed person these things does not help.
About not using screens before bed, there are actually blue light blockers in settings in your phone, tablet, computer, but not really your tv. Using the blue light blocker and not exposing myself to blue light an hour before bed helps me to fall asleep.
A while ago I started leaving my blinds open at night, and then I would wake up naturally when the sun got bright enough (about 8am). I know not everyone can do that, but it’s helped me more than any one of these tips
That works for me too as long as I get to bed at a good time. That’s my favorite way to wake up in the summer, with the sun shining in and the birds chirping. Not as easy in the winter though, the different light and dark cycles throw me off.
I mean, sometimes, algorithm's youtube can be really helpful when it comes to help you live a better life or a better sleep. I hope I'll be more energic tomorrow, cuz it's 2am and I didn't achieve to sleep 😂
1. do not snooze snoozing only makes you more tired “sleep cycle” 2. get enough sleep sleep on the same time for a week to know the amount of sleeping time u need 3. get hydrated and do some exercise drink water and do some exercise after u wake up 4. avoid blue light 2hours before u sleep replace with books (flux, twilight)
1 snoozing is great because you can stay away from reality for more time 2 don't get any sleep because it's useless and boring and u can't eat when sleeping 3 don't excersize or hydrate, excersizing will hurt your body making you unable to sleep and when u drink water u will need to pee while sleeping 4 don't avoid lights or else the shadow monster will get you
From reading all the comments, I’m seeing the best way to get good sleep and wake up feeling better (from my experience as well) is your routine. If you go to bed anytime, eat snacks, don’t drink water or shower, watching RU-vid videos it won’t help. But someone who goes to bed generally around the same time, taking time to pray or read before bed, and taking care of physical needs before sleep would probably sleep better. The discipline gained from these little habits not only can make you feel so much better but help you be more disciplined in so many other areas of life
1. stop snoozing 2. get enough sleep (you shoud go sleep on the same time and wake up all the week) 3. rehydrate and get the blood flowing (drink lots of water in the morning and do some workout, strechting..) 4. avoid screens before bed
obviously important points here, but I think everyone knows these. For me personally, I would struggle to fall asleep and then always wake up tired. Or I'd have to go to sleep 9 hours before I want to wake up which is really inconvenient and hard to do. The 1 thing I noticed is that 1) it feels easier to go to bed later and later each night and the only time I ever get good sleep was when I am very busy throughout he day and expended mental energy. It turns out I was doing too little, doing the same habits everyday that took no effort or mental energy, and doing that doesn't make me tired until much later, but when I do go to bed much later, I still have to get up early and then it starts my day off horribly because I am tired. Challenging myself mentally throughout the day is obviously good for my brain, but it allows me to fall asleep with ease and wake up feeling energized. Im all about being disciplined and doing things you don't want to do, but forcing yourself to wake up early when you feel so tired is honestly just not good for you
I noticed after about a week i started waking up feeling at least not tired anymore if not refreshed exactly by not eating anymore crap food everyday and exercising. I eat better food such as nuts, cottage cheese, frozen fruit and vegetables, and wheat sandwiches with lean ham and low fat mayonnaise. It has already made such a big difference!
Oh honey... Cheese is NOT healthy. Its the fat from milk, or like, butter. I know u need fat, but cheese is so unhealthy. If u really want cheese, buy s low fat one. Girls help girls out, thats why im helping u, and givong u tips. Im really not trynna hate❤️
Mor Datter Tid everything is healthy in moderation, and cottage cheese is better than other types. If this person’s body feels better eating those things, we shouldn’t interfere
Clearing ur bowel in the morning is extremely important.Take 2 tablets of triphala (max 3) every night before you go to bed. Triphala is an ayurvedic Indian mix of herbs available in the form of tablet and churna (powder) in all the ayurvedic pharmacies. You won't snooze anymore. Go to toilet half awake and come out fully refreshed.This keeps you active throughout the day and you get sleep on time. Try, it really works.
@Zatoichi Ayurveda has made it simpler to understand how the five elements control our mind and body. We are made up of five elements I.e. Earth, water, fire, air and space. Each one of us have predominant combinations of elements that depends on our parents'. These combinations of elements are called Vata(air and space), Pitta (fire and water) and Kapha(Earth and water). Read about how the imbalance of five elements in our body controls our behaviour. Get ur pulse reading done by an ayurvedic physician.We can not completely change our body type but this can be controlled to some extent thru our food habbits according to our body type, ayurvedic medical guidance and spiritual lifestyle. Learn how to meditate. Eat fibre rich foods before ur meals. Most of the diseases attack a body because of unhealthy gut. You can try ayurvedic detox programs as well.

I really have a lot of anxiety in the evening and before i go to bed. This is why i watch Netflix till the last second. Or i scroll on my phone endlessly. I need to find a better way to deal with anxiety before bedtime.
@@seidenschnabelfederflugel5441 yeah me too. my health anxiety is the worst at night, i think i might be a hypochondriac. but last night it wasn't about my health, it was that i took like the biggest break ever from school because i didn't think we actually had to turn in our work like last year at the end of the year and so i took like 2 weeks off and my mom asked why i wasn't getting my papers in. so then i was anxious af on how i was gonna get them in on time for like two days before. then i said i didn't know how to turn them in, and so she said email the teacher, and i tried twice for two days while getting a week's worth of assignments done for those two days. then last night i realized if i tried again she would talk to the principle and they would have the directions to me that exact day. so basically i scrolled until like 1:00 A.M. because i was so anxious.
About tip 4, I think you can activate the “orange screen mode” even without apps, if you’re on iPhone. You can just go to the control center (the menu with a lot of features that pops up when you swipe upwards 2 times), hold down the luminosity bar and select the button that says “Night shift mode”. The screen will go a little darker but also will become way more orange.
This is an old video) Android and iOS (and Windows) received this feature almost simultaneously in 2018, if I'm not mistaken. So, yeah, you can and should use embedded gadget solutions. Also you better leave gadgets anyway before bed just to make your brain calm down and stop analyzing information.
If you go to Dr. Mike videos he said that, yes, "orange screen mode" can help with the "chemical part" but using ur phone before bed can have others bad effects too, like anxiety by looking at social media or deadlines, stress bc u thought about work or lost a game and even sadness cause u finished ur netflix show that night and the list goes on... So yeah, is not only about the light from ur phone.
@@x0vg5hs1 "Just put away your phone" That's my point lol. My comment was to say that people shouldn't think it's just the light that is hurting ur sleep.
The best way to wake up is by switching your alarm clock for a light with a mechanical timer. Set the timer so the light will go on about 30 Minutes before you need to be awake and use a bulb that is white light, but not too bright. I have never woken up tired again since I use this.
I've felt that during the days I exercise in the morning , I feel more energetic the whole day and I don't feel like taking a power nap mid day . That's what helped me the most ...
I never had any problem sleeping until I hit my 60s. LOL. Oh well. At this age, waking up early is a good feeling. My elderly neighbor passed away in her sleep. So waking up isn't such a bad thing.
It's so easy to make sleep take a backseat in life. However, this video reminded me that rest isn't merely an interval between waking hours but a necessity for holistic functioning. Sleep should be treated as an essential nutrient rather than a luxury.
My main tip: do NOT think! I often laid in bed and kept monologuing my feelings in whole novels to myself to work through whatever emotions I had from the last day. And I couldn't fall asleep that way, because I was concentrating on all these thoughts. What helped me a lot is to write these thoughts down beforehand, even if I just type it into my phone and then delete it again, it helps a lot to organize my feelings and have some closure. When in bed I would actually sometimes think to myself: Don't think. Think of nothing. Nothing... Nothing... I know it sounds and even feels stupid but it helps me a lot to focus on this word to not drift away with my thoughts. I guess it could work with anything. So anytime you feel your thoughts drifting, shift it back to a pre set boring word. I always fall asleep a lot faster that way! :)
I have the same problem and also sometimes say in my head: "nothing, nothing, nothing, ..." Just avoid thinking. In many cases I've fallen asleep soon after.
This is really true. My insomnia is kicking again and one thing I realized is that my thoughts were chaotic at that time to the point I couldn't relax and sleep. I started doing sleeping hygiene when pandemic started and it really helped a lot. One thing I realized is to relax and think of nothing.
Sounds pretty risky to experiment without an alarm clock for those of us with work and school. In fact, just today my alarm didn't go off and I was late to work. And my body naturally gets energized as soon as the sun goes down.... So not sure what to take away from this video tbh
If you get in a routine of going to bed everyday at the same time, you'll eventually start waking up at the same tame everyday. And then you can still have your alarm just in case, but you'll probably wake up before it even goes off.
Regarding the blue light from screens - turn on the black&white mode on the phone. It might be weird at first to look at everything that way, but seriously it is one of the best decisions i made to improve sleep
Most phones now have built in tools for night time mode, that remove the "blue lights". Some of this was useful, but I have found as long as I have my blue light filter on from 20:00 to 6:00 am (so no need to manually turn on and off) it has significantly made it easier to fall asleep. I also try to dim the lights in the bathroom when showering etc as that with the phone night time mode means I fall asleep after 5-10 minutes
The game changer for me has been taking a cold shower on waking, also at other times of day. I just turned off my hot water. I've had delayed phase sleep disorder (ie extreme night owl) but this has greatly normalized my sleeping patterns
Wait srsly? Like i havent waken up feeling energised/refresh in so many years that i cant remember the last time. And ive had trouble sleeping/falling asleep since forever. Which pretty much lead to what u said... Did that srsly help u?
I've used Sleep Cycle for six years now. It keeps statistics of your sleeping habits and it's awesome to look back and see how you've done with your sleep habits and the amount of sleep you get. And it works, you definitely wake up easier
But how does it know when I fall asleep? Sometimes it takes literal hours before I fall asleep at all, sometimes I just stay awake throughout the whole night.
Great tips man! Literally people are just not getting enough sleep and are looking for a miracle. If you don't eat enough you are always hungry, why should it be different in sleep?
