With Oura. Since I started to smoke cannabis more often REM goes down - like 30min per night. Before that Deep sleep was problem. Vit A is new for me for sleep, but I am eating cod liver every week. But I am also trying nicotine, choline, and ither cholinergic tools and also shroom micro, lions mane before sleep for better REM. But all the info from you is new for me.
I use the Fitbit Sense, and I typically see about 25% of my sleep as REM. I have started taking a 10% Tongkat Ali from ND and I have seen an improvement in my REM sleep.
Fitbit and I have a BiPAP machine. Best REM I recorded in the past 6 months was 2.5 hours, but my Deep sleep was only 15 minutes. Is DEEP sleep just important?
Excellent video!! I love your channel!😃💛 On the EMF point, when you go to bed, put your phone on airplane mode if you can. And keep it far from your nightstand table. This could reduce EMF for you. Apparently unplugging things from the outlets near your bed will also reduce EMF, from what I’ve heard as well… Lucas I’m gonna try the magnolia and rhodiola and take honey a few hours before bed! Thank you!
Glycine is mentioned once briefly elsewhere in this comment thread, but I'd like to bring it up again. I've gotten from another trusted source of health information that glycine is helpful in getting to sleep. I don't whether it *increases* REM sleep, as such, but it is observed by some to make dreams more vivid. Early in my period of use of glycine I had a very vivid dream which became "lucid," meaning I realized I was in a dream. I was able to remain in this state a long time (5 to 10 minutes?).
@@BoostYourBiology have tried out mouth taping, will have to buy a better tape though. 3-5g taurine with a relaxing tea before bed. Trying to cool down when sleeping. Getting sunlight (if possible), if not vitamin d3 in the morning to try to keep my circadian rhythm in check:)
@@BoostYourBiology I haven’t, no. I remember you talked about an Earthing mat but I didn’t really understand how it worked. Will have to read more about it
Great video thanks. I will try Magnolia bark. I have tried different supplements but they don’t work for me: Ekclonia Cava, Melatonine 5mg, Magnesium + Curcumin, Ashwagandha and 5-HTP. In average, I sleep 4-5 hours with 1h30 of REM and hardly 30 mins of Deep sleep. My Only way to sleep 7h is to use Benzodiazepines what I dont like to take :(
Sorry, but this information is not really enough, you could say so much about researches with GABA, Glicine, Relora, Magnesium, Taurine, apegenin, inositol. But instead you just mentioned well known commonplace info like "sleep in dark room, avoid blue light, etc".
Hi mate. Love your channel. Just wondering if you cycle the use of ecklonia cava and magnolia bark 5 days on 2 days off or do you take every day? Or do you just take them if you had a bad sleep the previous night. Thanks!
@@BoostYourBiology thanks for the reply mate! Couple more questions if you dont mind :). Is it the fulvic acid in Shilajit that is responsible for the boost in testosterone in the studies? Traceminerals have a fulvic acid 250mg per serving supplement and i was thinking of adding that to my stack as i believe im getting enough minerals/vits from food and dont need the shiljajit. Also how many adaptogens should be taken together as a max? I was taking ashwaghanda and maca but will cut back on the ash due to your video on it and have ordered cistanche and pine pollen! Thanks again mate and i saw your podcast with siimland and have watched almost all your videos since / shared your channel with all my like minded friends. Will move on to your podcasts shortly 👌🏼🙏🏼
Ah epic man! Thanks for the support. Yes take it easy on the ashwagandha! As for the shilajit, yes the FULVIC acid is the main ingredient, however, check this epic diagram out: www.eurekaselect.com/node/155139/article/shilajit-mumie-current-status-of-biochemical-therapeutic-and-clinical-advances
@@BoostYourBiology no worries mate! Your channel is fantastic :). I wasn’t aware of the other bio-actives such as humic acid so it may very well be worth getting the Shilajit! Thanks
do a cold shower right before bed. also u can take a spoon of honey right before bed as well, not at least 4 hours before. that nice sugar will keep glycemia ok and u won't wake up during the night. unless u eat a shit ton of junk foods full of sugar then you can forget the honey xd
@@Dedicated_.1 forgot to mention some context... cold shower before bed only if is summer, and hot.. will not wake u up, although that's what initially u might think.. it will help u fall asleep much faster. yes hot shower is great too. contexts..
One question why does it look in the video as that your cam recording is constantly lagging or that you prerecord everything you read and then bind it together
@@BoostYourBiology It looks like your camera is recording in low fps. If it's a setting in the camera, or problem in video editing software (when using the recorded camera clip), I'm unsure about. Check properties of raw footage from the camera and see what fps it says.
