I know that many people won't read this. But, I hope you're having a better day than yesterday. You've made it this far. Don't quit now. Keep pushing. God bless you!
It’s 3am and I find myself crying because I’ve been sleepless 3 days in a row. My worries is that,what if it affects my health. I don’t know what is making me unable to fall asleep knowing that I have a happy and healthy relationship and happy family. 😢😢😢
That's litrally me, I have not been able to sleep for 4 nights, litrally almost a week, and tbh I dont have worries, just like you I have a happy family and so on, but I really dont understand why on earth cant I just sleep at night, like goshhh this is giving me anxieties foreal
Excellent. I have lots of trouble initiating sleep. Most nights it takes me hours to get to sleep, regardless of how tired I am. I believe a lot of it has to do with anxiety. Thanks for the lecture, I'll check out part 2.
Often times I'm kept up by noises around me. Drowning out the background noise helps quite a bit. I love how Dr. Rodger breaks down the science here. Great job!
What expert advice did you read that you tried for a week? My experience is that people who can’t sleep ignore the advice of experts by saying “It won’t work for me” or maybe break their habit for one night and expect instant results
Im 20 and I've had chronic insomnia since toddlerhood. I used to think it was outside causes but my lifestyle has changed so much. There must be some biological cause other than environmental factors and anxiety.
I can't sleep because I'm too distracted, I find myself moving my foot side to side a lot and checking the clock every 10 minutes estimating how much rest I can get if I sleep now. I just ruined it tonight .-. I have school tomorrow and it's 3am, I'm so so tired but I can't fall asleep. 2 days ago I stayed home because I was too tired to even stand properly, I can't figure out why I can't sleep and it hurts because I've missed so much school because just being there gives me anxiety, like I can't get away from something. Then I feel like I'm going to puke but after I get to stay home I feel better, then get depressed that I'm letting my parents down. Man I hate this cycle :| it feels unbreakable, I mean I'm still only 15...
I hope you're better now. I do the same thing moving my foot or feet. It's like there's a battery in me that won't shut off. It is deliberately try to be still, I notice the buzzing like energy. Then I sleep all day and stay up all night. It's so weird.
It stems from "caveman times" humans are pack animals so back in the day some humans were meant to sleep during the night and keep watch over the group during the day, and us night owls were meant to sleep during the day and stay up at night. I know it sucks :(
I struggled with lack of sleep for more than 2 years and believed there was clearly no cure for me. Not until a psychological behavioral therapist encouraged this specific plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* It help me know about science the way we sleep at night. And every night, I can now sleep normally. I enjoy slumbering in the mattress again.. .
I am on sleeping pills for 36 years and doing meditation to control thoughts for the last 5 years. Watching Sleep videos on you tube , I once again tried to get rid of pills but in vain. I don't want to go insane.
I went off zolpidem after 20 years. Tapered very slowly and didn't sleep for a month and a half. Using melatonin, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Bed time is torture, but rather that then a mental dependency. Hope you are not using benzos though, that is permanent brain damage.
So many providers and mainstream speakers are solely focused on "sleep hygiene" and how if you're experiencing any type of insomnia, it must be because you don't take your bedtime routine seriously enough - or, in recent years, now that more insurance covers CPAP, that it MUST be apnea and requires a CPAP. Thank you for your more nuanced and curiosity-driven approach! Edit: Getting an ADHD diagnosis and treating my ADHD with stimulant medication made my overall life more calm and less stressful and I sleep better at night now.
I have insomnia or paranoia of sleep, as I can fall asleep near other awake individuals but when I was at my grandma's in summer, I basically couldn't sleep for around 6 days or smth, it's sad.(I was in the bed alone btw)
Considering that I started adulthood, I couldn`t get enough proper sleep. This *4InsomniaCure. Com* sleep plan has revealed me great outcomes even on my very first 7 days of usage.

I’ve suffered from insomnia since I was 15years old. Doctors have giving me different medications but I hate the way I feel. I could go 4 days straight with no sleep at all but I get really bad headaches.
Adam Hussên I’ve started to workout more at the gym it’s helping me. I do have my days though where I still can’t sleep. I’ve also read my Bible now and it has helped me as well.
I almost gave up treating the dreadful sleeping disorders I have encountered for 2 years. But ever since I used this sleep plan tinyurl.com/Insomnia55 my sleeping trouble was vanished and sleeping in my bed just felt great. Use this product, you won`t regret it. I was the biggest doubter but now I`m the biggest believer.?
I'm 12 and I've had insomnia since I was 10, I was a test dummy for a sleep lab and was diagnosed professionally, and I can't sleep at all, In fact I was described "clinically nocturnal" By the doctor. I was given a a sort of nerve gear to wear on my head for a weak. My brain waves were very high at night, like a normals person during the day, except, it was at night for me. During the day, I was more, in a dazed faze. I can't help it. People tell me to just force myself to sleep, but I can't. This makes school harder as well, especially since I'm in all advanced classes.they said that they can't give me the normal treatment because if my age. So I have to take the regular non working pills. It's currently 5:26 AM and I'm not tired at all... I don't know how to deal with it.
*Has anyone else found the stresses of Covid 19 has made you sleep worse?* We speak to a lot of people who suffer from insomnia. Below is a list of some natural remedies that have helped them cure insomnia. - Chamomile tea - Valerian root - Passion flower - Calming essential oils - Melatonin - Magnesium - Yoga and meditation - Acupuncture - Stress relief techniques - Restful sleep - Massage - Warm bath _Hope this helps!_
Interesting. The sleep expert says if you don't treat the depression, the insomnia isn't gonna get better. The psychiatrist says if we don't fix your sleep, the depression isn't gonna get better. And here we're wondering why I'm stuck. 6.15 in the morning, desperately trying to find tips I haven't seen yet (don't think they exist), with a heart pounding like I just ran a marathon and a brain that just needs to think about a million things at once. Most of them unpleasant. This is the second night I haven't slept at all....
Lately can't sleep in my bed,I get anxious my nose is stuffed. So sleep on the couch sitting up. Can usually get 3 to 4 hours. Take Ativan and benadryl half a pill of ativan plus 2 benadryl. Would like to get off of both. Don't understand sometimes sleep fine in my bed. Next night sorry won't happen.
This is so depressing. I'm almost middle age and have just seriously started to fix my insomnia which I had from the time I was a teen. Sounds like I will never know what it's like to function at my full potential. :'(
I work nights, 2nd shift. I'm pretty sure I have a form of insomnia. I can be in a deep sleep and be woken by the slightest noise. Always had this problem 😅
The longest I have gone without any sleep has been 12 days I get a small window when I can sleep and if I miss this window it can take several days before it comes around again It feels like utter torture and my doctor refuses to give me anything to help me to sleep It's got to a point where I wonder what the night time is actually for and it's effecting my everyday life and my family life aswell as my marriage I'm at the end of my tether here and I so wish that the ground would open up and swallow me whole
Have you been tested for sleep disordered breathing? I also have insomnia but not even close to as bad as you. I eventually fall asleep but it takes at least an hour to fall asleep and sometimes I wake up and cant go back to sleep. Does not happen everyday but the vast majority of days.
I haven't been slept for 8 years;not even doze off.neither at days nor at nights. Even drugs not work. My blood urea is a bit high but docs find no relation. Could somebody help me? I am awake 24 hours a day.Nobody believes me. I have no anxiety no depression.
Had insomnia for years along with anxiety, long story short I was vitimin B12 deficient. take a sublingual pill now and sleep usualy 6-8 hours every night. have read up on B12 and 40% of people tested are deficeint, so pretty common.
Five Simple Causes of Insomnia to remember (5)P's 1. Physical - Restless Legs, Asthma or Sleep apneoa 2.Physiological- Noise or shift work 3.Psychological-Stress or abnormal concern about sleeping 4.Psychiatric- Depression and maniac disorder 5.Pharmacological - Medication, Alcohol, Caffeine or Nicotine.
I reversed my RLS using these 5 Dr. Scheussler's mineral cell salts: Mag Phos, Kali Phos, Ferr Phos, Calc Phos, and Nat Phos. I was on tramadol for RLS for 10 1/2 years, and got off of it within 4 days of starting the minerals salts. I'm on day 3 of being off Gabapentin and Baclofen, that I've been on for 10 1/2 years. I'm sleeping, but I'm not getting that deep sleep that we need, as my brain tries to wake up in the middle of the night, but I fall back to sleep after controlling my breathing after a few minutes. Hope I'm just going through withdrawal symptoms, and my sleep cycle will return to normal.
Does this really happen with someone else too. I feel sad about myself that I am severe insomniac. I don’t sleep for 4 nights back to back everything is fine still..
They took me off of a trazadone for my insomnia and now I cant sleep I've been awake since 12am which I slept for 1 to 2 hours and right now is 4 10. I have to go school at 7...
i'm literally suicidal because of my insomnia. All doctors say is depression depression. I dont have depression i can not freaking sleep-this is what is causing my freaking depression. I need simething that wil literally knock me out not some antidepressants that will increase anxiety and insomnia. I'm literally so done with this freaking disease i really just rather go to the other side than have one more night of 1 hour sleep
• No caffeine during the day (coffee or tea) • Switch all your light bulbs to yellow based lights (warm white or 2700 - 3,300 Kelvin range). Even better if they can be dimmed! • Minimise exposure to bright light after 7pm • Don't look at or use any electronic devices after 8pm • Change regular curtain or blinds to blockout curtain or blinds. Make sure your room is as dark as possible - so cover any electronic device lights (eg. digital clock, charger lights) with bluetac, cloth or stickers • If it's summer, or you live in hot climate, you overheat or you're menopausal, change bed sheets and covers to rayon/bamboo, cotton, viscose or linen - these 4 fabrics are cooling and improves sleep. Have a fan on or open windows if your room is stuffy • Eat melatonin or tryptophan-rich food like cherries, nuts, seeds, tofu, cheese, red meat, chicken, turkey, fish, oats, beans, lentils, and eggs. They all help with sleep, so try some for dinner! • At bed time, read boring books or listen to calm music. Meditate or practice deep, calm breathing • Most importantly, set up a routine for sleep! Go to bed roughly same time every day and wake up at similar time. Make sure you get plenty of bright light when you wake up (stick your head out a window, stand on your balcony, go into the backyard or get a daylight lamp if you live in cold/dark latitudes) because it sets your circadian rhythm. And don't sleep in on weekends! It'll undo all your effort If none of the above work, it could be due to psychological stress/anxiety. Try Congnitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where it's been shown to be as effective as sleeping pills - minus the side effects
Don’t know if anyone at MedCram is still reading these but I am wondering if U have changed any of your insomnia causes or treatments with new science out about sleep disorders. If so could U do another video
I have suffered from insomnia for 50 years.the best thing for it in my Experience is to do nothing...when Your body reaches a certain point it Will "Take"the sleep it needs.the pills Might work short term but will mess You up long term...and please don't tell Me not to drink coffee or to count sheep.
You certainly have got a point, however there are some great alternatives out there (I speak from experience): - Glycine 1,5-3 g 1 hour prior to bed - Magnesium is a must (400 mg 1 hour prior to bed) - Mindfulness and gratitude journaling - Prayer - Do not eat 3 hours before bd - Quit any stimulant at least 8 hours prior to bed Good luck
“My insomnia almost cost me my career. I worked in a fast paced office, but for years I struggled with getting sleep, so I could never focus. Then my boss gave me a month to get my act together, or I was fired. Thank goodness I found the *4InsomniaCure. Com* . I use the techniques inside, and my insomnia practically disappeared overnight! I saved my job, and now I’m enjoying life more than ever.”
If I were in oral exams..then get asked what the definition of insomnia what I should tell the examiner? Your lectures as all are golden lectures. But in terms of definition I think it would be better to simplify them.
By two days I've not slept well.. I am sleepy, meaning my body wants to have a sleep (symptoms = headache if I don't go to bed, feel of sleepiness, red sleepy eyes all day) and it's not any other issue/fever causing all these symptoms.. it is sleep deficiency. So to complete sleep I go to bed, it takes long time to fall asleep.. and then after 4 - 5 hours of weak sleep (weak cuz I remember my dreams as I was literally thinking them but not seeing them.. it's a sign of weak sleep that you have not slept deeply even after being so much sleepy with red eyes). Now since I've woke in middle of night I try again but fail to fall a-sleep again and here I go another whole day with incomplete sleep hence headache and other issues hoping that next night the sleep shall be completed. But no.. third night and by 3 days sleep is incomplete of just 4 - 5 hrs that too weak.
I listen to these videos and then I go into a deep slumber. This voice! You should have a relaxation channel, I tell you, your voice is gold. Add that to some soothing music and you will hypnotize me.
I struggled with lack of sleep for more than 2 years and believed there was clearly no cure for me. Not until a psychological behavioral therapist encouraged this specific plan *4InsomniaCure.

Great video. Loads of helpful info. And I'm confused. Did you make an error at 4mins, 45secs?: 'As you reach middle age.... despite all of these things, you're a little bit more resistant to sleep deprivation, or to the effects of sleep deprivation. What I mean by this is that, let's say if you were a teenager and you missed 4-5 hours of sleep, it wouldn't affect you as much a if you were older and you missed 4-5hours of sleep. You would be able to perform a little better, which is kind of paradoxical... ' I can't tell from that if you mean teenagers are more resistant, or 'midagers'. You seem to get your sentence mixed up right?
I seem to cycle on a 36 hr cycle leading to insomic nights... I also do not get to delta sleep much, and I do not move unless my brain wakes... I often wake sore because of this
We insomniacs should make a global group and help ourselves.... literally it's the worst disease a man can have , even worse than gangrene , leprosy , hiv. And yes , I love all my insomniac brothers and sisters 😊, and only we know the pain
when i was a teenager if I woke up after 4 hours of nightly sleep, I knew within 2 hours I would be hit with a second crash of sleep which if I avoided would kill me for the whole day. Now, at 48, if I wake up at 3 am and cannot sleep the rest of the night, it is annoying, but when I do get up, I notice very little difference in how I feel that day verses being younger
I believe so and it could be hormonal changes as well. Hope your insomnia gets better, try exercise, cut out caffeine and no devices before bed. Take care and hopefully, sweet dreams 💤😴
What if you don’t have health insurance and can’t afford a physician or treatment? If one more article or RU-vid video tells me to see my doctor for help, I’ll lose it lol
Here are the reasons why labor reform is absolutely necessary!Excessive work and housework quickly become the main cause of chronic insomnia!No one knows this!It's a great stress that keeps you busy every day and keeps you anxious and insomnia even in your sleep!The next day, if you feel uncomfortable with fatigue, anxiety and insomnia symptoms become severe.This is a living human biological response.The number of chronic insomnia patients has become the most difficult disease to cure in modern times, and is recorded as the largest number of patients in the world!
Ironically I've had 3 hours of sleep in 1 week and ... U.S. MEDICAL STUDENTS GET ONLY THREE HOURS OF SCHOOLING ON SLEEP SCIENCE, EVEN THOUGH SLEEP IS ESSENTIAL TO GOOD HEALTH anybody see the problem here ??
I need help, i don't think what I have is insomnia as i can sleep when i feel sleepy, but throughout my whole life -and this is not an exaggeration- I've NEVER managed to have a healthy sleep cycle. No matter what method of fixing my sleep schedule i use, it fucks up the next couple days to weeks. Even when i feel physically tired, my brain is the most functioning at night and i just can't sleep during nights. It's like clockwork; every night the time i sleep will shift 1-2 hours, so if i sleep at 11 at one night, the next night no matter what i try, how much i force myself to sleep, i can't sleep until 1 am, then the next day it goes to 3 am etc. By the end of the week I'm sleeping at 5 am, either going to uni with 2 hours of sleep or missing lectures because i didn't even sense my 30+ alarms.
You said at middle age we are more resistant to sleep deprivation, but then said it does not affect a teenager as much as it does the middle aged. Didn't you mean to say just the opposite of that?
“Insomnia made me feel gross. I felt sick all the time, and I looked like an old woman, even though I’m only 33! All I wanted was to go out and enjoy my hobbies, and to feel confident doing it. A friend introduced me to the *4InsomniaCure. Com* , and everything changed. I immediately started sleeping better, and that sick feeling went away. Pretty soon, people were complimenting me on how great my skin looked! Even better, I looked forward to each day, now that I knew I’d be awake and energized!”
Is it connected to circadian rhytm? If I go to bed att 8 pm as a good boy and wake up att 6 am will I then gett less REM than if I go to bed at 12 (24.00) and slep untill 8-9 am? I am 29 and try to figure out how to use my study/sleep-time. :)
I`ve been resting poorly for over 10 years, at a time not of my choosing. After applying this sleep plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* for seven days, I was able to attain eight hours of sleep every night. I did not even have to complete the plan simply to sleep well again. My insomnia is finally gone due to this plan.?
