My Nighttime Routine for Brain Health | Jim Kwik

- What healthy habits can you incorporate into your evening routine to optimize your sleep?
On average, you’ll spend roughly one-third of your life sleeping. It’s when your brain gets rid of toxic waste and plaque build-up, converts short-term to long-term memory, reorganizes and repairs nerve cells, and so much more. That’s why when it comes to optimizing your brain, one of the best things you can do is optimize your sleep.
Today, I want to share the elements I’ve developed over the years that make up my nighttime routine. These are the habits I’ve built to help me wind down for a good night’s rest. This isn’t meant to be a one-size-fits-all routine. Find the elements that make sense for you and start there.
Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for a healthy brain and a good memory. It ensures you can not only bounce back from a difficult day but bounce forward into the next morning. And establishing a consistent nighttime routine is key. If you’re looking for ways to help you fall asleep faster to get deeper, more restorative sleep, this episode is for you.

Thank you
Thankyou!
Thanks
Thank you so much
I read in the Bible before I go to bed and review my day. Then I meditate on G'D and HIS WORD, through which HE created everything there is. Flowing in the forgiving & creative love of G'D takes my soul into deep peace and security!
LOVED this…. “First you create the habit, then the habits create you” 👀
I noticed some of the things he talks about are references to the book "Atomic Habits." It's a great book that I highly recommend!
One of the best gift we can give to ourselves is to allow our body get enough rest everyday. This is very helpful. 😌🌿
What I learnt from this video
The 3 Cs- Creative (creating thoughts and ideas) , Consuming (reading, listening to podcasts etc), Clearing (whiling off the day by reviewing your day)
You have a nice setting for this video sitting on your bed! Thank you for your contribution Jim!
Absolutely 😅
Looks like a hotel
Thank you Kwik
20:13 my sleep routine is go to bed then meditate(which makes dreams more vivid and easy to remember).Then if im not going to school the next day I will intentionly try to wake up a 6.Then I would fall asleep in a couple of mins.
To be realistic, i think whole day wouldn't be enough for this night routine! 😅

Thank you so much Jim!
You are my best discover in 2024 ❤
The more I remain in gratitude the more magical and wonderful my life becomes. I definitely review my grateful feelings each night. At times my gratitude can be very simple, such as I am so grateful that I have the ability to write this text.
Yes❤
Thank you ... for sharing all these tips ... ❤🙏😊
I learn something new every time I listen to your pod cast! Just wanted to say thank you!
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for these wonderful tips on sleep 😉
I do gentle stretches and somatic release movements, read cozy fiction, and read my soothing bedtime affirmation. I have trained my brain to fall asleep to the Nothing Much Happens podcast stories. My favorites are downloaded so I can put my phone in airplane mode. It has helped me tremendously! No more busy racing mind or anxiety at bedtime about sleep.
This was very informative. I'm finally ready journal because of your journey doing so.
Thanks for this information ❤
Thank you so much for your advice and recommendations Jim kwik, God Bless You.
Great!! good sleep is the most important for mental and entire health in general Thanks much for this
It was soo calming listening to you ... ❤
Excellent! I do many of those and my sleep improved immensely. I love Hapbee too 🙏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻
Thankyou
Thank you for the amazing content Jim 😊!I enjoy doing the 4-7-8 breathing exercise before bed, really helps me get relaxed!
I love the concept of 3c’s. Thank you for sharing! All these tips and sharing from you is truly a good guidance for us who wants to do better and be successful ❤
the 3 Cs: this is also my big take away fr this informative & helpful video. thank you, Jim!
Thank you so much for this great video Jim! These are great tips and great advice. Sleep is essential to a well being. I first noticed that when my children were young because I could observe if they got enough rest. I have been trying to find some supplements to help me stay asleep for 8-9 hours because my brain requires restorative sleep for optimal functioning. I am going also to try some of the things you suggest in this episode.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this video. I found you on Diary or a CEO and now I’m a fan of yours.
I do like to listen to meditations especially enjoy Jason Stephenson and calming music ..however the issue is when I am in bed it means some devise is on to do this. And I agree then turn off all devises. So I think better routine is deep breathing and meditation and light stretching in bed and no music or devises. I need at least a half hour to fall asleep. Usually a few hours before sleep I take a hot shower and have a cup of organic camomile tea it relaxes me and my stomach which I hold tension. Some thoughts to help me sleep. No TV or social media 2 hours before sleep time. I am a night person so for me my life has always been going to sleep around 2am and my most productive time is usually afternoon and early night.
1:22 Very Valuable Information for better Mental Processes. Thank you for All you Do.
Your voice made me goosebumps 😊
I like to meditate prior to sleep 👍🧘♂️
Thank you for these tips Jim. I’ve been following you for a couple years. 20:41 20:41 20:41 I luv your content and I’m grateful for all you share with this community. I also luv your morning routine on a different CZcams I watched a while back! I’m a journal junkie! I do my Gratitude journaling at night in bed and my “morning pages” of brain dumpling in the morning which helps clear my mind prior to meditating. I don’t like having any electronics in my bedroom. No TV! And phone and dapple watch are in the kitchen. I sometimes take my iPad in my room to listen to calming music to sleep, but I’d like to do away with that. Maybe this Essentia mattress will help🙏😊
Thank you for your advice. However, most of your suggestions are out of my budget.
I prep myself for bed by a walk after supper. Shutting down my home: curtains closed, lights down/out, my ablations, gentle restorative yoga, meditative reading, breath work. 😴
I am too much greateful to realize as you rself the process of your brain coaching
Very nice athmosphere
Thanks Hof every night. No matter how good or bad on that day. Just thanks Gods.
Most awesome advice! Unfortunately I've been training myself to sleep since I was a kid. Yes I do my breathing exercises before bed. I've done several types breathing exercises. The Wim Hof technique works great for me
Great advice, Jim, on creating routines before bed that help you wind down. When I have time, I love the warm bath with Epsom salts, the low light and the breathing exercises to put me in a relaxed state of mind. Thanks for your wonderful advice!
good wisdom
Very cool to see inside the bedroom of a brain genius!
I’ll take a bath after I lay in a led sauna blanket. Then I like to listen to the devotional meditation for the day from an app called Encounter. And off the top of my head list a few things that I’m grateful for. And of course this wold be the ultimate perfect night for me. It doesn’t happen every night tho. I appreciate your videos. Thank you 😊
Hi! Was Curtis which sauna blanket do you use and do you find it most effective?
* curious
I will try Nucalm and in my next house I will have Essentia , for sure . Thank you 🙏🏻🌹✨🙏🏻
The metal frame of his bed negates any EMF protective benefits he thinks he is getting. He should have those mattresses on a 100 percent wood platform bed without any screws or nails and his internet should be all ethernet cable.
Once I reach peak success, I'm going to hire a famous sculptor to sculpt a small Jim Kwik statue for my bedside and then thank him every night before I go to bed. Until then, if anyone has his personal cell I think a voice-mail will suffice

Jim, I appreciate your insightful and comprehensive approach to optimizing sleep. Can you share a quick tip for someone who often struggles to fall asleep due to a racing mind or stress?
Your nighttime routine for brain health, as shared by Jim Kwik, is a valuable insight into optimizing our well-being. I really love this kind of content, thanks for offering practical tips to support cognitive health during the night!
I love watching videos tackling about brain/mental health. For me, a nighttime routine geared towards brain health can help improve sleep quality and overall cognitive function. I'm excited to try this routine tonight!
Thank you for the valuable tips, It's inspiring to see how you prioritize sleep and mental well-being. Keep up the great work, Jim!
Your advise on the advantages of fiction reading before bedtime is a timely reminder of the significance of growing our emotional intelligence and creativity. 🤗
I really appreciate you sharing your tips on how to get a good night's sleep. I think they are very practical and helpful. I will definitely try some of them out.
You do understands that people from poor countries also watch your videos seeking solutions for their problems:) Special mattress? No problem, we have bamboo mats. Red light, blue light filtering glasses? Also no problem, we have regular blackouts. Sauna? We live in climate where average temperature is 32*C. Sometimes I wish there was someone who talks real life.
The 3 Cs: Create: early morning; Consume: afternoon; and Clear: Sleep.
Im a simple man. I see a video I like I hit the thumbs up
Thank you so much for your informative video. When I have a pressing engagement the next day I will often have a hard time sleeping because of being nervous about the following day. Any tips on overcoming this?
I've tried meditating before going to sleep and sometimes this helps.
Hi,I came your comments and I can relate this.
What I do is to shift my focus . I spent time myself
in the moment.I drink a cup of tea. I also drink a warm
glass of water and squeez a few drops of lemon and it
helps me to relax.I do what I love. I do some drawing and
journaling.I have a turkey sandwich . These are simple things
you can do for yourself and hopefully it helps you.
Hello Jim
I’m currently experiencing behaviours after a few years of trauma at home with mum and outta family.
Mum had cancer and Covert Narcissist.
Now all family have gone.. either died or turned on me . I have mums house .. issues to the roof.
This issue I’m experiencing is Actually going to bed. I’m falling asleep standing in the kitchen or beside my bed sitting in the bed .. I won’t get in the bed till I’ve done everything that is ‘ enough’ for the next day to be ‘suitable’.
Sadly I have to sleep inMums old room in a single bed. I hate it..
mine is In storage.
I have a strong belief about bring my bed to this house .Coz of the energies in this house. I feel so far from relaxed.
I. Trying to sell it. But I seem to be hitting issues after issues. Like mum is still controlling me. The traumatic experience is in my face 24/7.
Reminded of the horrible situation I was in for so long with no help..
I’m doing all that I can to survive here. I used to be a strong alive human. I didn’t want to do that job with mum. But I was 💯 forced into it. It was all on my shoulders.
I’ve isolated myself here from people but want to be social able again.. I’m 49 single 👭🏼female.. I couldn’t have friends while dealing with family..
I want to sleep like I used to.
Coz my body is hurting.
This has been going on for over a year..I’m seeking help where possible .
ADHD PTSd depression social anxiety disorder.
But most of all I’m a loving caring woman called , I am Niree ..
That baggage is heavy . I’d rather dump it not re look at it.
Oh I sleep no problems once in the bed.. it’s my magical place.
Family used to hassle me for being a night owl .
They were of the belief you sleep as sun goes down and up with sunrise. No room for being different.
Thanks if u have advice or something else

I've always included the elements, without even realizing it. 😁 I like to spend time outside - usually with my dogs - to help my brain to understand that it is night. It helps me to fall asleep.
Any suggestion for anxiety please. My anxiety sometimes makes me angry. Please suggest.
Thank you

Jim you can't use nucalm on airplane mode? You can't download the audio, so...
What about Sleep apnea ?
Jim, please, I need the link to your mattress dealer
It is great advertising your mattress , plus not having any electrical devise in the bedroom while you are recording your program.
OMG, I don't have a special mattress, heat pad or sauna. I may never sleep well.😢.
I have a question, did anyone try super brain course and did it work?
I am generally successful in falling asleep, but I always wake up with terrible dreams. Usually, about my daughter or myself in danger or mistakes done on my son life. I am awake now, and it is 4 am. I had a bad dream that I gave my son a medication that was too big to swallow. My kids are both adults now. I stay awake for 2 hours. I go back to sleep by listening to your podcast or radio. It is not fun, and I am never rested. Help me, please.
That is exactly what I do.
I wrote this 4 months ago 😂. I am still awake at 4 am.
