Thank you so much for the key points..I really have sleep problem
I used to sleep like a rock. Menopause and then falling down a ladder changed that. The menopause was temporary but the ladder changed my life forever. I can't get comfortable and stay asleep. I appreciate these insights and look forward to using them and future CZcams shares!
Anita Hamlin Have you tried accupuncture or chiropractic...network is best
I haven’t slept more than 4 hours per night in over 10 years. Each week, I normally go 2-3 days with no sleep at all. No medications, no meditations, nothing has worked. I pray these suggestions help. That’s if I can remember them. Chronic sleep deprivation has caused memory deficiencies, attention and focus difficulties, decreased cognitive functions and overall attitude and mood swings that are deeply concerning from a health standpoint.
Hi there, try Micheal Sealey's sleep hypnosis. It's been life changing for me.
There's one that always does the trick.. look up Michael Sealey life healing on CZcams.
Best of luck
Same like me, I slept at 3am+ n wake up at 5.20am..
I’ve found it all lies in my mind. Work, financial, relationship stress all take over anything I try to sleep better. It’s hard short term, but perhaps try to reduce stressors by letting things go. Or downsizing, switching jobs etc.
Its been a year since your post hope your doing better Noah as someone that has problems with sleep also
Dr Daniel Erichsen lots of content YT
First time coming here but I had to come because of Shawn Stevenson 💪🏽♥️He has changed how I liive and treat my body I have lost 30 pounds in 5 months just by following his advice of eating well (taking care of my gut)working out in the morning and getting that sleeping 😴 in. He soo freakin Smart and informative and although some of the stuff he speaks about is new to me I find myself wanting more in wanting to understand and guess what I’m understanding!
Angela Dubose wow keep it up
Listening to this during morning workout feels great.
Awesome info in a brief amount of time; very helpful ! Thankyou, both, very much🤗
After i became really sick and as a result started to experience incredibly horrible anxiety and panic attacks, i refuse to sleep without my cats. They have the most amazing calm and loving energy 😻😻😻 i totally owe my life to these furry angels.
Cats are great at RAISING PEOPLES OXYTOCIN LEVELS IN OUR BRAINS. For REAL FACTS!!! Horses also Raise the OXYTOCIN Levels in females. Just simply BRUSHING & petting & TALKING TO the beautiful CREATURE !!! A treasure. Helps girls females get through depression & imbalanced ANXIETY about living. The OXYTOCIN brain HORMONE CHEMICALS LEVELS RISE. JUST Watching them. HEARING the HORSES talk & PLAY together in a pasture in the country is UPLIFTING FEEL GOOD sensations!!!🔑🔑💛💛💛💛😇😇😇 DECENT. DIGNITY. Self-preservation when going through difficult situations in everyday life. A pal. Cats are a good PAL for feel good OXYTOCIN HIGH!!!
I love cats. Unfortunately I'm terribly allergic to them... dogs too. I live alone so that kinda sucks.
Thanks a lot Jim for this incredible knowledge
This technique is quite improving my brain thank you sir

How can I mange or moderate my sleeping when I have new born baby ( 14 months old) ?

I take sleepy tea, best one is blue lotus.
Thx so much 4 this video i just figured out i have either 2 much or 2 little cortisol cuz i cant wake up in the morning and cant sleep at night. ;)
I do exercise at 5 am in the morning for around 40 min, 10 tabata. I also meditate daily. My sleep remains poor.
I was trying to sleep at 1 am by watching this.
Excepting!
Hi Jim, Thanks for a very helpful video, I want to ask you one thing, I run a routine taught by Robbin Sharma that is 20/20/20/ formula every day. I wakeup, Drink 2 glasses of water, go to the washroom , return and do 20 Minutes Meditation then 20 minutes exercise and then 20 minutes educational training program. I heard some expert says wake up and exercise, some say meditate first. I want to ask you which one I should do first, exercise or meditation. Please reply so I can get the maximum benefit from my Victory Hour.
You should exercise first and then meditate
First exercise and then meditate so that you don't feel sleepy while meditating
Any old meditation practice will not work. The technique matters. Yoga Nidra is ideal to vanquish insomnia; body scan meditations in general are even better than CBT-i to treat chronic sleeplessness. Bhramari pranayama followed by silent chanting of AUM in the background, Trataka, and progressive muscle relaxation can also help immensely. Self-Enquiry can remove any residual anxiety that is keeping you awake.
Hey Jim, do you drink coffee to start the day?
what is the best time to do the meditation? at ngiht time or morning time? it should be 10minutesa day? or half hour?
When you hear The Matrix OST in the background, ufff, definitely I feel more powerful now.
Awesome 👏 and what is the best kind of meditation to help against insomnia and disrupted sleep. Because there is so many different types and f meditation out there i.e alpha waves and all the other waves, guided, frequency etc so is there any one that is generally more successful
actually I am also searching the same which type of meditation
Exercise early in the morning, get optimal magnesium and vitamin C and practice meditation...
Sleep docs say losing a little weight may have a big impact on sleep quality for folks with marginal obstructive sleep apnea.
What do you mean by "marginal constructive sleep apnea"? Do you mean obstructive? And by "marginal" do you mean "not too bad"?
@@edjrage7745 Yes, meant "obstructive". Fixed. And yes, marginal meaning just that. A little lost weight can push one back into non-apnea zone, from what a dentist specializing in sleep apnea devices told me. I'm marginally overweight, and have sleep apnea, enough to make me wake up every time I enter REM... so I get relief wearing a mandibular advancement device (MAD) at night. It basically just pulls my jaw forward which keeps my air passage open. Cheers.
@@Mark4Jesus Nice to know, thank you very much!
Ashwagandha really helps
I think you should add subtitles.. It ffeels so boring to only listen..
Edit: Thank you dude for 1 like😁😁
Press the screen... Note the 3 doted vertical line over upper right of the screen... . Press it... Choose Caption.... Capishhhh
Walk on treadmill , drive.. while listening
Liked for thanking in your note!
I unfortunately am required to work 3rd shift hours. I work from 10pm until 8am and I usually sleep from 9:30am-5:30pm. How can I best apply the workout time? Would it be best for me to workout during my morning, at say 6pm?
Just work out before or after work.
I work 6am-6pm. I just goto gym before work. :)
Im narcoleptic. I cant afford the medicine and my insurance company said there's not enough proof I need medicine even though I've had at least 5 sleep studies in the last 15 years, and my symptoms of the disorder are very obvious and embarrasingly noticable. Cataplexy hS also been a problem in my life, although I don't have attacks every day. Im interested in seeing if you have any advice on getting a sound sleep for someone with my problem
Please try and practice the Wim Hof breathing method. It is life-changing.

Thanks very much guys, what’s AKA meditation? Where I can find the information? 🙏
AKA stands for Also Known As
Also, if you happen to be a Christian, Believers should avoid meditation. It causes you to enter an altered state of consciousness which opens you up to the spirit world. This is why it is so popular with new agers and occultist. We are to guard our hearts and minds, definitely not yield our minds and we are to avoid repetitive praying which is usually a part of yoga or contemplative prayer. Blessings
I get a damn good amount of exercise and I eat like a strong man...all round good diet...I meditate aswell...but I can't sleep 🤦🏾
Try Marmite.
I thought afternoon is best time for exercise
My bed, the magical place for doing all my tasks and destroying myself
Focus your attention on sleep? Why Exactly does meditating in the morning helps you sleep at night???
Meditation relaxes the mind body and soul ahsheli
U sleep better when u relaxed.
I meditate every evening before falling asleep and it sometimes helps. However in the winter I only it lying on my back which brought significantly less results than sitting while meditating.
For non-native-speaker its a little bit hard to follow you, because you are talking very fast ... It would be great if you could talk slower 😊 Translation would be perfekt! (Im from Germany)

Robert,
Thanks for the insights, but the absolute cacophony of noise and drum beats which interfere with your dialogue at the beginning and the clode of your segments is intolerable.
Noise and nonsense will never conspire toward the goal of a calm and healthy brain
They are refrences form movies that involve more powerful brains of people in almost a supernatural way
Great information as far as the first two points but as far as the third...

The Bible tells us to meditate on the Word of God , as in to ponder it and study it. 😊 Blessings
amen!
Can you give the biblical references for this?
What superstition and silliness. I bet u believe in Santa Claus too. Don't give your power away. U r in control...unless u choose.not to be.
I completely agree. Mediating and studying God's Word is the best investment for our brain, health, and every area of our lives.
I am doing all of it but no effect...
So you should see a doctor my friend :\ I'm sorry and I hope you get well soon!
Do not trust people who want to sell you their friend's vitamins.
When people say "processed foods" I know I'm dealing with hippie folk knowledge. Not necessarily entirely bullshit, but usually. What process? Cooking is a process.
Thing is, cooking is often necessary to destroy toxic or otherwise undesirable substances (with the added benefit of increasing the bioavailability of desirable ones), while other forms of processing often aren't. And yes, even cooking is a trade-off, since you often destroy other desirable nutrients and may add undesirable ones in the process. Just Google the nutritional profile of whole vs. blended and raw vs. steamed vs. cooked spinach to see what I mean.
The simple rule is the more you process the food, the more likely it is that you're decreasing desirable nutrients and increasing undesirable ones.
What’s wrong with hippie folk knowledge?
@@ruthfourie7499 It's knowledge that gets passed around by well meaning people, but often isn't true.
The intro is awkward :D
1. Exercise
2. Nutrition
3. Meditation
