Jocko Podcast 367: Wake Up And Get Some Some Sleep. Dr. Kirk Parsley 

It's always the sleep podcasts where I stay up super late to keep watching and learn more about sleep lmao

Jocko sleeps with a pillow under his gun 😂🤣. Needed Theo Von with the Doc on that one. Great clip as always from this channel

1:11:45 "The question isn't whether you can get in; the question is would you go if you got in?" Very powerful question!

*Jocko Willink is the Reluctant Leader we need.* .....We know you've done enough, but your Nation needs you. 🇺🇸 *2024* 🦅

There is a lot of great things in the world. But sitting on a river bank fishing, drinking a beer and playing some guitars and listening to jocko podcast would be sweet. But it’s January in iowa. Brr but living the good life. Just wanted to say thanks for all the military men And woman serving our great country the USA. Just because.

God Bless Doc Parsley for figuring that out. What a smart individual. Thanks for having him on the channel Jocko. Good job guys 👍

Jocko ‘s podcasts are five star. They are my go to podcasts. I too had episodes of vertigo that were terrible two years ago. After a lot of prayer, they completely went away.

You had vertigo. He did the epsley maneuver on you. I can’t believe you waited that long! Vertigo is super scary. When I first woke up with it I was freaking out, I googled it and found that maneuver two days later, and did the head position thing and it went away. I was so happy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your story and interventions Dr. Parsley. Top tier podcast. Most excellent gentlemen. Thank you Jocko and Echo Charles. Cheers

Thanks for putting this episode on, it's very beneficial to me being in the trades.

Such a fantastic conversation. Loved hearing Dr Parsley’s story. So interesting to see themes weaved into his life.

Instructive-especially for those of us who have to remote work in different time zones so sleep is continually disrupted. Horizontal meditation as productive rest is a great strategy. Thank y'all.

Thank you all. 🙏🏼

Yeah I learned this as well. That when you lay in bed and you can't sleep don't say to yourself "Omg I can't sleep etc.." Just say to yourself "great now I have time to just lay down with closed eyes and relax, meditate by focusing on my slow and deep breathing." Just this alone will lower your stress hormones and eventually you will fall a sleep. 😴 It works like magic. Before that I would just stress out like crazy omg in next 7 hours I have to wake up. Omg in next 6 hours, Omg in next 5 hours. Cortisol and adrenaline goes up and up and up that is the recipe to stay awake like it's 2pm... Horrible.. 😁

I’m the same way Jocko, don’t like going to the doctor unless it’s severely needed. Back in August of 2022, had a few episodes of flare up of my gallbladder. Turned out had a few stones, so had it surgically removed before it got worse. Now I’m doing better, still awaiting full recovery. Thanks for another episode Jocko and Echo!

have an alternative hypothesis for Dr. Parseley . its also has to do with performance /metabolic response to Diet and aging . long story short I was really fit around 2014-2017 getting into trouble 2019 although I was not taking pharmaceutical drugs I was drinking and taking recreational drugs . well in 2019 I got into more trouble and spent the great majority of the following 4 years in prison sleeping often /not working out /unless forced to living off two sandwitches /one hot meal(pasta and spam) although I was going through an arduous mental gauntlet with court and politics I was able to maintain a positive spirit/ attitude and just focused my time on preserving my "energy " and whatever muscle mass I still had. by this time 2021 I was down to 6 pull ups and 10 dips . by 2022 I was down to 5 dips and 0 pull ups . fluctuating between 180-210lbs . A major concern of mine was recovery and rehabilitation after too much time in atrophy. I managed to maintain a decent calisthenic workout routine during my last year . Well upon release I weighed 190lbs and started logging my weight . my main staple for protein was chicken and I quickly jumped right back to 210 and even reached 215lbs . Im Mexican American and sports medicine and performance research has always been my main pass time. I was training on the SFAS program ,power lifting and read cognitive enhancement and performance journals" MTAAC" ,books and whatever I could find. As a fit Mexican-American I have always been aware of the threat of obesity in my community especially after the age of 30 . Well this happened to my surprise I stated reading pre-colonial history and Spanish conquest in prison and remembered that the Spanish brought horses and other live stock and herbs, after some digging I was able to trace the first trade routes and "discoveries" and trade goods the Spanish encountered when circumnavigating the earth for the first time inn the 15000 . Fruits and veggies weren't consumed on ships until it was discovered that you could stayve off scurvy and drop the death rates ,becoming a main staple of North American diets !!!!!! anyhow that's my theory that Diets (not customary from a genetic adaptation standpoint) has a more expressive effect on the body after the age of 30 . Im currently on a restrictive Diet of only Native Plants and Fauna anyway ill like Dr, Parsleys take on this theory . I want to test it but money is scarce / Im still fresh out so im doing what I can for now. Maybe Dr, Parsley can get the navy to study and test this?Thanks !!!!!

Really loved this episode also as far as seeing at night I've learned that some people myself included see better at night than during the day.

Thank you for your service gentlemen. I'm 38 and experiencing the same problems. Not a vet of course but I have severe insomnia issues and my Dr started me on a low dose of T. Suggested that low t is why I have insomnia. Essentially the opposite of your Diagnosis. Now im 😟 worried. I want off of anything unnatural!! 😩

AmazIng POD.. I live in Kemah Tx now and Dr Kirk has some cool Story’s of Life☯️😎👊

I had that dizziness happen to me after waking up upside down in a totalled car after a huge crash. I was wobbling all over the place for weeks. I stumbled onto this strange exercise on the "interwebs" where you rearrange the marbles in your ear canal. Something like forehead on the ground and roll your head forward and hold till you almost pass out then turn a certain way. Really weird but it worked! Couldn't believe it. P.s . Thanks Jocko and Echo . Love listening to you guys. Really interesting and thought provoking discussions with guests and amongst yourselves. I find myself laughing out loud when you guys start digging at each other. Like Echo chilling out and having way too many "rest days" and Jocko always saying "back in the day". Also really enjoy all the book reviews about crazy amazing war stories and then the following interview with the person who lived it. Awesome work guys! Gday from Australia! 😎👍

I’m the exact opposite, I want to live a long, healthy life even at the slightest ache and headache. I go get brain scans and MRIs I’m not playing around. But I did live with leg pain and lower back pain for 10 years, I didn’t want spinal fusion at L5 S1, but I got it done four months ago and it changed my life! I now have zero back or leg pain its a miracle.

The same thing happened to me! A VA doc figured it out I thought I was dying the first time Puking sweating dizzy as hell

When your conscience won't let you sleep, that's a beautiful thing

Chuck Norris checks his closet for Jocko before going to sleep

Very interesting. Great info, thanks Doc.

I have worked a graveyard shift for the past three years and a day job on top of that. The lack of sleep is affecting me so this podcast had my interest in figuring out how I go about rebuilding my sleep habits while working weird hours and restore my health.

Great video. Thanks

Wow, I had the same weird vertigo problem and a doc in Oki helped me the same way.

Ah nice I grew up in Spring Branch. Loved it.

1:44:00 (saving to continue listening later)

Can't stop thinking they've been sitting there for years just talking.

Thanks, jocko. I was wondering why I was always so dizzy when I looked up at the stars.

Held off a back surgery for 10 years. Trying to self heal. Came out of it, and eventually back down multiple times over the years. Last time, low crawling to and from the dinner table, for a couple bites. Watching everyone sit and eat like it's normal for this slug to crawl out for slop. Lol. Went in had the surgery and walked out the same day.

2:57:20

Spring Texas represent. KOHS

I had that when I was in my 20's and had to do the head til maneuver a coupel of times worked as described

1:27:33

"My wife ain't waking up unless I start firing weapons in the bedroom" Lol

Was given Ambien during labor. My husband keeps telling me I slept for hours sitting up. Good man kept me from falling over the whole time. I have no recollection of that. 🤔

Only half way through. Heard Zinc. What else is on the OTC short list for good sleep?

2:03:40. Calling out jocko for not sleeping 😂

Went to order this sleep remedy, doesn't ship to Australia unfortunately.

Hehe, I'm only a few minutes in, but I feel you on the hospital discomfort. Very comfortable beds, but it's never a place of particular comfort. I added “particular,” since it is, still, awful how quick one can get used to the circumstances (especially if you stop caring about the outcome). A few months and it feels weird to go home, too, in some awkward way. I learned that roll as well, hehe, mostly not to rip a bunch of stitches, to avoid further pain and mess. I had a problem with that. I need a physical therapist to *teach me* how to *get out of bed*? To *stand up and go take a piss*? “Don't think so, I'm good.” Admittedly, I was wrong and it was useful advice… Then a couple of weeks later, they say, “you can take a walk if you'd like, but go slow and don't leave.” “Yeah, yeah, I've got this, thanks,” I said and began my walk to the grocery store a mile away. Two hours later on my way back, stupidly enough uphill, stopping to rest (aka sit down and attempt to breathe) every 25 yards, I had plenty of time to think that decision over. Would I do it again? Probably, actually. If the alternative is to let someone else tell me what I'm physically capable of. That's likely where my discomfort comes from in that environment (besides the cardio department being top floor, warm as hell, packed, with windows that won't open and mobile ECG that loses connection if you go anywhere). Someone points at you and says, “you suffer from X which means you can't do Y and shouldn't do Z because that's our baseline for normal people with this condition.” Baseline… Normal…? “The **** you just call me, doc? Speak for yourself.” 😛 There's just no control, at least not seemingly. (That being said, liters of nasty, bloody liquid in your lungs and high fever, obviously impose some limits on what one could and should do, physically. E.g., probably want to drain that and take a Tylenol before a jog.) Sleep is interesting, looking forward to hearing the rest now!

they are catching too i think, they cause easyness with ... creating connection the hefty way , .........

Great...👍

Echo Charles, D1 restler

Surprised he suggested arimidex. Aromasin is a better choice imo and only for short term if e2 is just really out of control and causing other issues.

Check.

I must have missed it but how did you go from a high school failure to medical school?

Great dynamics: Echo Charles and Jocko talking about sleep, presidential suites vs a rug and a shower curtain near the end. 🤣...Echo Charles: "Cancel the show". 😁🙈

Just lol’d at the comment about the nam neighbor guy

Creatine can also help with regulating blood sugar levels

I got something like this but I was told it is...forgive my spelling "osillopcia" I got it at work in 2019 it's not as bad now but I still have it maybe this could be it.

Funny he lives in Dan Crenshaws congressional district in spring Texas. Seals repping seals

I like that math 3:14:25 ✨

I miss the histories at the beginning

So how would you classify me I average between 1 to 4 hours of sleep every day and have for years and yes I don't believe this to be normal

Another Dandy🇺🇸👊🏻🇺🇸

What happened to episode 368?

What would jocko do ?

I’m having issues with listening to episode 368 on Spotify ? Anyone else?

I think Jocko should have Jameson travel's on

I like to think the title of this video is meant to read “wake up and get some…some sleep”😂 hahaha

i thought Jocko said he didnt drink

🇺🇸

Echo, we need BTF bracelets!

The doctor usually goes to Jocko

i knew it was vertigo

What did Jocko do when his parachute didn't open? He took it back for a refund

sleep

🇺🇸🤙🏾🦅

I was permanently banned from Twitter due to constant posts supporting many of your comments & idea's but they ultimately blamed me for promoting abusive behavior which was a joke!

I get 2-4 hours of sleep per night. I have tried all the horrid drugs (simply out of desperation) but nothing works. I fall asleep easily but wake up after 2 hours and then struggle the rest of the night. Docs have no suggestions. It is definitely affecting my cognition. Any suggestions??? I NEED sleep!

Dang i had benign positional vertigo lol cant believe he just toughed it out for a year

According to Nietzsche, Superman is an individual who has surpassed both the Christian morals and values of humanity and transcends pure rationality. Superman is beyond good and evil in that he recognizes that morality only exists concerning human beings. He can create his values through his actions. #thereyougo this is what their worldview consists of.

Jocko seems more animated about this content. like he sees a useful edge.

lmao I guess they tested Jocko's test since they said they were the same as a 17 y/o weightlifting football player. Some off the charts crazy stuff right there lol

That's how we grew up. Unless it was super serious, we didn't go to the Dr. We couldn't afford it

This guy has some good information but be careful if you’re thinking about using an AI year around. Probably not the best idea.

If they push people to potentially psychosis in navy seal training, are there people that drop out and have permanent mental health problems after going through that?

Jocko doesn't lift weights.... He stares them into submission

Brag brag brag brag 😂😂😂

9ver engineering sleep..is making me upset...ridiculous

Jocko gets blood work done regularly. He has to make sure he has enough blood in his testosterone stream.

HIDE THE SCARS TO FADE AWAY THE SHAKE-UP (Hide the scars to fade away the)

Early gang

they say that swearing a lot releases stress...then it becomes addictive to swear. and its a sin to swear

Is he telling the truth?😳

he was #petrified so there you go...being petrified is a problem...engineering your life is absolutely bonkers....this is crazy talk

Had a dude die in jump school in 88. He had bad plf and banged his dome. Walked off DZ and died like 8 hours later. Sobering. 58:30

i disagree we are not impaired if we have little sleep..i think impaired is the wrong word to use.

all this practical lifestylre help is well and good, however without Jesus Christ it is all in vain...#mancentered not #Godcentered read #Nietszhe #Superman

🎇🎆🎇 🎆 🎇 🎆 🎇

I know of another good way to get sleep too..Stop doing meth..

Cool, im view #1

Guest needs water. Listening to dry cocaine mouth is difficult.

35 minutes in and this guy just said for years he didn’t know he was getting paid by the Navy because he wanted to do it for free? Why is this guy bullshitting lmfao
