This is so helpful bro. You literally cured my insomnia, every night I watch this video to remind me that not all hope is lost. I thought my mom would scold me for being awake late night. Thanks so much ❤️
glad you liked it Raf
sorry for the late reply, took a bit of break over the holidays.
ps. have great 2023
Just wanted to say that I have followed your advice and for the past week I have been able to sleep without medication and still getting anywhere from 6-8 hours of sleep a night. This video saved me. Thank you.
So glad to read it. 😃😃😃
Nothing "helped" you sleep. It's an innate ability that requires neither effort nor intervention. If you slept, it's probably you did less *AND* was awake long enough that your strong sleep drive started kicking in
@@johnmonk3381 okay bud. Guess you know what it’s like to be me.
WOW! congratulations
This video can override all the sleeping couches / gurus out there. Just simple and easy. Thank you 🙏 so much. God bless you for sharing
I've just slept my second night like a baby after months of fighting insomnia. Thank you!
It is heart warming to hear silence again without sound disturbance, all thanks to Dr iyaremoses on CZcams channel for his herbal medication.
hi im. having insomnia for 2mth and was on doctor meds.. i take it alternate days tried many but doesnt work 4 me.. any remedies? to cure this insomnia
@@aquarius113 sleeping pills are effective. However, they are very addictive and loose its effectiveness with time. Try to gradually limit them. What works for me: +do not force yourself to fall asleep, do not worry about you being still awake, do not check the time at night +going to bed at regular hours + white noise helps me fall asleep ( especially cooling fan, hairdryer sound etc.) I also listen to audiobooks with my eyes closed. The noises from the house or street easily distract me and prevent me from sleeping +most of the sleeping suplements are ineffective for me, however I've managed to find one that does work. It's called Neospasmina in Poland. Try to find an equivalent in your country. It's based on popular herbs. Only the liquid form works for me. Sometimes I combine it with melatonin. I wish you luck
congrats
did you try the sleep in another room or go to bed when tired?
Thank you for pointing out that everyone is different and we aren't all built to do the solid 8 hours a night. Makes me feel less odd
I wish I could sleep 8 hours.
@@TomScryleus Me too! I don't even know what that feels like.
I’m 21 now and had insomnia since my teen years. I know all the tips and tricks and even practice some of them but still can’t ever fall asleep. But this video hit the nail on the head...my Real problem is trying force myself to fall asleep, which creates pressure that causes that sleep anxiety, aforementioned. I will try respecting my body’s signals while also creating a good, calm sleep environment via the “tips and tricks”. Helpful video👌🏾
I'm 33 from Philippines I have insomia for 12 to 15 yrs now struggling fall asleep the one thing that I do every night is drinking beers every single night I know that's not the right thing but that's my way to fall asleep but then I realised I don't need beers anymore I want a new lifestyle that cure my condition.
@Max Martin same, been struggling for more than 4 years. For me I can't sleep day and night, been tired from 2016. I took sleep drops, it worked a bit. But now I have this idea that I am not able sleep so it is getting worse. I agree with what he is saying
Yes bro right
Doesnt seem to matter for me man. Ive tried it all, done it all. My brain still wont shut off. It just doesnt happen. Fuck my life man. I didnt know this was possible.
@@stephenstuckey how are you now? Any improvements
Sleeping is also something I struggle with in my life :/ love your work through, you're videos have so much production value!
Thank you Harry.
i enjoyed your videos too!
Have a great weekend
I`m a victim of insomnia for more than 2 yrs and I thought the issue cannot be resolved. This sleep program *4InsomniaCure. Com* was suggested to me by a cognitive behavioral therapist. It helped me learn more about sleep. I had been able to have a much better sleep every single night. I love resting on my bed again.?
Very calming video. Perfect for the subject matter! Found your channel from your Macbook coverage, but I love this type of content as well. Keep it up!
Thank you and welcome onboard. :)
Where are you from?
I've followed this advice for years. Thanks for validating it. Love your videos.
thanks Mike.
have a great 2021
I have been suffering from insomnia for the past 3 years straight, and from all my research and trials, I would say that your advice really is the key to curing insomnia. I'm glad you found this simple cure to it. Also, based on my research, more than 70% of Americans are magnesium (and some potassium) deficient which can also be a cause of insomnia. So as of past night, I'm taking a ZMA (Zinc Magnesium) supplement to help me relax before bedtime. I heard it took somebody else about a week to kick in. Good luck to everybody suffering from insomnia and I hope you all start sleeping peacefully and adequately. God bless!
Taking zinc will cause you calcium levels to be imbalanced.
I've been suffering same amount of years like you. And I've tried it all. I'm on 5mg zopiclone but find i need to pair w/ magnesium & l-theanine. Sometimes it won't work, so I would add ashwaganda or reishi mushrooms. I'm really tired of being tired. Then morning comes, I have the same struggle later at night. Mind you, i work out 5x a week. I would take his advice too. The one time I normally feel like falling asleep is when i'm at the basement watching a random show. I think it's coz my anxiety isn't occuring in that couch, only in my bed.
@@jfresh2054 And Copper
I dont get tired until like 9am and I have to be up at 12pm for work, just thinking that I will be miserable for remaining of the day makes my anxiety worst 😞
I feel exactly the same! I'm so tired of being tired and drowsy during daytime. It sucks, you can't function.
I’m so sorry :( have you found a good sleeping schedule yet? I hope so
This genuinely helped me as A 11 YEAR OLD!
Glad to read it
Just found your page and tonight I will take your advice. Thank you!
BEST TIP EVER. Everything in life has simple solutions, but in recent times everything is made more complicated.
Its interesting how i often find that the simplest solutions seem to work the best in life.
Brotha, I have heard get up but totally the part of “bed anxiety” forcing sleep was a first I heard and a game changer. Thanks
Yeah i remember it was new to me as well. Once i learned that my sleeping problems stopped completely.
Today I sleep as a baby.
my insomnia goes away and comes back
Thanks for sharing. I've had a lot of sleeping problems. Currently really suffering because I didn't get enough sleep for 3 nights. The issue seems to be finding the right pillow or getting used to a new one.
19 now, insomnia for 4 years. Thank you for this video
Hope it helps
@@TomScryleus hi, I have insomnia for over three years yes, also causes digestive issues over the last couple of months. It has got worse and I have had to take time off work due to extreme exhaustion. Do you believe this will work in my case. Thanks
Jesus man. 19 in two days and litterally the same. It has gotten worse with time it got so worse I type you at 2 am this
I’m excited to try this out tonight. It’s seems so simple but it makes sense. Thanks for the tip!
how did it go?
How was it
@@driftwud1978 - sorry for the late reply. It’s been a hit or miss but that’s my fault because I haven’t been consistent with it. I hope it works for you!
@@coco_brown8575 I don't understand
I can't wait to hear!
Hey man I thank you a lot for this video, I've been struggling A LOT with insomnia for years now and something I've noticed is that when I go to sleep when I truly feel tired and sleepy I sleep like a baby, I never wake up to pee, I don't ever wake up for anything at all and I feel like I fall asleep so deep unlike when I try to go to sleep at a specific hour, that's when the insomnia kicks in and I barely sleep, almost anything wakes me up and I pretty much spend the whole night trying not to wake up.
Your suggestion sounds amazing and I'm already looking forward to trying it but something I'm wondering is what happens when you want to wake up at a specific hour? For example I get super tired at around 2 AM, if I go to sleep at 2 AM but I want to wake up at 8 AM to have more time during the day (If I go to sleep at 2 AM I normally wake up at 10 AM), wouldn't I still be tired during the day? I suppose I'll still compensate for those missing hours like you said in your video but in what way exactly? In that case would I get tired earlier than 2 AM and would need to go to bed earlier than 2AM? In other words what happens when you want to wake up at an early hour so that you can be more productive during the day even though your sleep schedule forces you to sleep at around 2 AM and wake up at around 10 AM? How does my fucked up sleep schedule adjust to the hour I want to wake up?
Amen! Word for Word
Do you have diabetes
Man as an international student living alone during this whole pandemic. This lockdown made me stay home all day and I got homesick . This lead to me getting stressed and anxiety. Which in turn lead to insomnia. I literally can’t sleep it scares me. Everytime when I know I have to sleep I get scared. Man it sucks soo bad. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
“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.”
Brother, how u feeling now?
Sleep scares me too
I know how it feels. How are you doing now brother. Me I,ve been working in this issue for few days now. Hope you are doing better now.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU... I think my insomnia is largely credited to the anxiety i get from pressuring myself to "get good sleep"... In the past , if I had episodes of insomnia, I'd often force myself to bed like an hour before I usually would just so that I would have ample time to fall asleep. Then when I wouldn't fall asleep quick enough, I would almost force myself to focus on falling asleep. Now, I don't give myself all this pressure, and thank God, achieving good sleep is much more effortless now. Again thank you.
Im glad you found it useful.
Sleep is something that should be enjoyed. After years of practicing this method I love going to bed when im so tired 😴
Thank you so much for this.Can't thank you so much.I just realised that I worry a lot about not sleeping lol .So its better to chill than worrying.
Hope you sleep better soon my friend :)
Wow thanks for this advice it’s been 5 days that I struggle with this issue. And I can’t sleep because I keep telling myself to sleep which keeps my brain running and having adrenaline rush through my body ( because I’m scared of not being able to sleep). But I’m going to take your advice which btw is amazing! I really hope it works for me. Thanks for the advice!
Glad you liked it Kevin. :)
Thank you for the info. I just got given antibiotics that have been messing with my sleep. today marks the fifth night that I had trouble sleeping.
Hope you find rest soon. 😴🛏💤
Exactly true what you have said the harder i try to sleep the more I can't sleep i forget this powerful full tips thanks
R u able to sleep better now ?
Please reply
Been dealing with this for months tired of it.
What's the name of the book that helped you?
I had an ocd thought the minute my head hit the pillow. I don’t have the thought any more, but sleep on and off. I stopped watching tv after 9 or 10 pm, even though I think it relaxes me, and I try not to eat anything before bed. I think you have to listen to your body, and not think about whether you’re going to sleep or not.
sorry for the late reply Martha.
I agree, you have to listen to your body. And thats why it works so well for me, to just go to bed when I feel tired. Its solved so many of my anxiety issues.
PS. have a great 2023
So i feel tired around 4pm but then I wake up at like 10pm - so how do I then change my body clock to normal
Thank you so much, I’ve got to get up at 5:30 for work and always try to force myself to bed. I guess I felt alone with the problem.
did u feel like this also i didnt sleep good for 5 months since then ive been having bad brain fog even though i sleep well now
I’m a 14 year old who struggles with insomnia to the point I just start having panic attacks thinking that if I don’t sleep at a specific time I’d probably develop a worst sleeping schedule I’ve been sleeping at the time I get tired but I wake up with headaches but I still feel just fine but it sometimes gets the best of me I do try to force myself to sleep when I don’t I start stressing out, I just want to take evening naps but my parents don’t let me to so that way I could sleep at night but I end up sleeping until 3am I feel so bad rn but I hope when I try your tip it works !! Good video 👌🏻
Im sorry to hear your struggles.
I hope you find a way to find peaceful sleep. I was just trying to share what helped me.
Thank you for the tips. It really sucks when what should be the easiest thing to do becomes a nightmare itself.
Hope it works for you. Just go to bed when tired. Its worked for me for the last 10 years
My issue is that i wake up after 2-4h and cant go back to sleep. Its ruining my life really.
This has been happening for me a few weeks, I’m 13 and I always wake up 2-3am any tips?
What was the name of the book?
How long will this take?
If I get tired at around 7;30 should I go to bed? Will I be able to sleep through the night?
3:56 when the solution starts but still watch the whole video :) it’s helpful
Yes, I stopped worrying about getting enough sleep. If I don’t sleep much one night I sleep really well the next to catch up. Main thing is stop worrying about it.
How are you now?
@@mriko3970 absolutely fine, thanks.
You're lucky. If I have a bad night the next night is even scarier because of the pressure to sleep and not be up 2 or 3 nights in a row
@@gibememoni I feel for you, but honestly, not worrying about it is the best way. There is far too much pressure on social media about it. Try to think what you would do if you won 3 million or something equally nice. That may help you drift off.
same going with If I cant sleep whole night its make me nourvous and anxious that will I be able to sleep tonight or not
then sudden other thoughts jumps like it will bring other bad health issue even I feel sleep whole day feel tired but fail to sleep at day time even after took some pills i got whole night sleep or sometime it wont work its started to happen with me since 10-20 days and its so bad i getting 3-4 hrs some night 5-6 hr sleep or then whole night and days awake i am so worry when i will be normal again kust like before.....
Thank you that work for me!!
Great advice, this follows everything I’m hearing from sleep experts as well. Thanks!
well I got the info from a sleep-help book. so its not my own finding or anything.
But it did work for me.
What about putting a pillow on the wall on your bed?
Thank you for your research and for sharing what you learned in it's simplest form. I started last night and will follow this until I have resolved my mental anxiety. I took off my apple watch because it seemed to create more anxiety based on what it said (hours of total sleep/ times I woke up in the night, etc.) Last night I woke up several times, went to the living room and stayed out there until I felt sleepy. Did it I think three times, I feel good but more important I feel like I have a clear plan of action to get control without the use of pills. Most important I have prayed to receive support and guidance from our Savior Jesus Christ because with Him everything is possible. 🙏😴
yeah
I've been dealing a lot with this in the last year or so. Been learning to do this exactly 😎
How many hours per night so you sleep?
It works by slowing down the activities in the wake up center of the brain in order to allow an individual to fall asleep within the next few minutes and spend much of his or her time in deep sleep. *4InsomniaCure. Com*
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 thought there is no cure to this situation I have. I thought getting 8 hours of sleeping is impossible to achieve. This plan is surely wonderful. It tells various reasons and also a solution for several cases of sleep problems. I`ve got loads of medication programs out there..
Thank you very very much going through the same I will your advise. God bless you.
I have been having trouble sleeping for a week now... I have tried almost anything but my sleep anxiety just got worse. This one is a push for me to try having this realization. I am excited to try this tonight. Thank you for the tip!
How is your sleeping quality now bro
Please reply
Now sleep better?
@@arsalvlog697 I sleep 5 hours in a raw and I wake up and then I sleep again but keep waking up due to nightmares
say a novena to Archangel Michael. The nightmares will go down a lot.
@@shenazwahid2863 true my nightmares went away still have a few
so greate you are , hope you always be healthy , thanks for sharing
Thank. i wish you the same my friend
I am suffering from this for past 5 years ..thank you. I first tried your tips
How is it going my friend? Any changes?
Ps. I wish you a great new year.
Do you have diabetes
is high dopamine level cause isomonia ?
This is definitely true, counting how many hours am I able to sleep what stressed me the most. If I woke up on the middle of the night and I was not able to get the straight 8 hours of sleep that would stress me and tricks my brain Im sleepless. This 8hour rule ruined me.
3 4 hrs u get?
How long does this take to work? I’ve been trying to do this the past two nights and I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly. I wake up after 3-4 hours sleep. I get up and try to read, and then after 10-20 minutes I try to go back to bed, but I can’t. I repeat this for the next 5-6 hours and never get sleep.
Oh, I have insomnia alright! Thanks for the tips. I will try them.
hope it helps
I discovered this sleep program *4InsomniaCure. Com* truly effective. I have endured sleeping disorders all of my like, seriously, since infancy, have utilized various medications, but this plan is the most efficient tool I have found for smashing the cycle of sleeping disorders. I did everything this guideline suggests and sleep better than I ever have.?
It works by slowing down the activities in the wake up center of the brain in order to allow an individual to fall asleep within the next few minutes and spend much of his or her time in deep sleep. *4InsomniaCure. Com*
what if you never get tired? or rarely?? or maybe i get a little sleepy and get into bed and still dont sleep.. humm hard. i might try the mattress on the floor.
Anxiety can come, as you say, from feeling we “should” be sleeping a certain number of hours or at a certain time. All my life I’ve been an early riser, even as a child. I get sleepy around 8-9 p.m., so I’ll take a nap for a couple of hours. Wake up for 1-2 hours, then go to sleep. I’ve read that this “bi-phasic” sleep was the norm before the Industrial Revolution & electric lighting. My problem isn’t going to sleep; it’s staying asleep. I often wake 2-3 times per night. I just try not to stress about it, do some slow, deep breathing, & not allow myself to start thinking. Cheers!

Good Advice
Thank you...
Doesn't work for me as my body just gets used to sleeping even less than it does now. Currently sleeping 3hrs max. I've had insomnia for 25yrs.
Same with me and I’m only 16, super worried it’s going to badly affect my health
Same for me onoy 2 hours
@@bkndysame but I'm 14
My insomnia is caused by bipolar disorder so I have to rely on supplements and medication
Sorry to hear that.
I hope you feel better someday.
@@TomScryleus thanks
I completely understand what you’re saying since I remembered as a child I couldn’t sleep early so I started listening music and used to sleep for 5 hours and didn’t need more and I used to go to bed late but something happened in my life and developed insomnia I take a bunch supplements to sleep not medication but still and I sleep for 4 hours but I know I don’t have a deeply sleep and I know that’s the key not everyone needs the same amount of sleep your body knows right now I am out of balance on my entire system physical and mental. I am going to try your method to see if work for me I already go bed very late and I do most of the things you do I will tell you if your method works because I really need to sleep and thank you
I sincerly hope it works for you.
*virtual hug*
If you get out of bed,can you rest with eyes closed (no naps or really short I think) because my eyes are tired staying open all the time
You can do meditation
It sounds might work make sense. Going to try
Hi, I want to ask, I have slept when I was tired (around 9-10pm), It worked for me, but it only last 1 1/2 hours, and I woke up at 12.30-1am, what should i do?
Get back to sleep or try reading a book or boring... until you are drowsy again.....do this for a week. It would help.
Go bed more tired so wen u hit bed its solid 4 5 hrs
great advice
You don't have to wake up around the same time?
I'm 21 yo. I've been suffer from insomnia since I was 13. It lead me to depression , anxiety and suicide thoughts. Surely I will try to practice your tips. Hope It will work also for me. However I really appreciate this video!🙏 Thanks!

@@wokeok7450 I've improved my conditions changing my habits. This one is just one of them. However I find that the most useful habit to beaat insomnia is to meditate every day. It is very important to relax the mind not only through the bed but before you go to bed.
@@lukebridge3161 hows your condition man
What if I’ve been up literally all night? Literally it’s 5am and I haven’t slept. I don’t feel tired. I’m making my sons lunch for school now lol. It’s hard to “go to slee when tired” when you have children. I fall asleep at times while I’m putting my kids to sleep, but then I wake up an hour later and realize I’m fully dressed, I have t brushed my teeth, etc… so then I do that, and I try to come back and fall asleep and I can’t. Or I have to catch up on some nightly cleaning like the dishes or kitchen and so I don’t really get to “fall asleep when I’m tired”. Idk what to do

Going to bed "only when tired" shouldn't be a real problem for any Insomniac, for you don't sleep any way so dont' freak out that you only sleep from 2am till 6 when its time to go to work. LOl, great advice, I think I will try it Tom.
glad I could help :)
I have insomnia from last 5 years. I've tried everything i could think of (except the sleeping pill) but it didn't help. It has gotten so bad now that it's 10am now and iam still awake. Can anyone help me please?
Did u also find it hard to switch off like before i got it i didnt think about it just wondering how long does it take to work
switch off?
@@TomScryleus yeah like turn the mind off even if not thinking about sleep
Thank you, I'm watching this at 3 a.m. I have been taking sleep medication for years. Now I'm in a burnout and tried to wean my sleep medication off - no chance, it was a total failure. I never got more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep even after 3 weeks without sleeping pills and when I was already so extremely tired. I do fall asleep rather quickly, but I always wake up after 3.5 hours of sleep, fully alert, and then my mind starts racing and I can't get back to sleep. Usually I stand up, make some herbal tea with relaxation-inducing herbs, take valerianae root pills, take melatonin, etc. I do fall asleep again (sometimes) at 7 or 8 am, but that's time I usually have to get out of bed for work. I will try your tricks.
Hello my friend. Im sorry to hear about your sleeping problems. I hope what worked for me worked for you. If not, I hope you find a way.
@@TomScryleus I hope so too. Are you still sleeping well when following these rules?
What do you do if you don't feel sleepy for a whole night? I've at times got up from the bed to play a relaxing game on my computer then go back right after a few minutes fearing that if I keep on avoiding sleep, I may not be able to sleep the whole night. Also won't falling asleep when you feel like it creates a habit that makes you sleep at the same time you last did so? I had a time where I slept without effort for 2 months at 12 am after a year of insomnia, but then it just suddenly came back and now I usually fall asleep between 1-5 am. I'm starting to think it's not about making an unconscious habit of sleeping at a set time but just the mindset you have when going to sleep.
this whole "fearing if you keep avoiding sleep you will not sleep all night". that sounds like sleep anxiety. have you tried sleeping somewhere else? on the couch. And this time, don't think about that you have to sleep, stay up as long as you want, sleep when you feel sleepy.
Does anyone have any experience with taking Lunesta?
Thank You
glad you liked it.
sorry for the late reply. took a bit of a break over the holidays.
ps. have a great 2023.
I really hope this works. The thing is I have the same thing thing but I get really stressed to the point when my body hurts. I hope this works
Nice video! I suffered from insomnia for one year. Sometimes it comes back but luckily my tricks still help. Here they are if someone is interested.
1) I completely quit coffee, if that does not help, I quit alcohol as well. Then I can come back to it when I am fine again, but not too much obviously :)
2) At least 10 minutes of focusing on my breath and just observing what is flying in my head, writing it down, possibly do it everyday.
3) Listening (not watching) to soft spoken asmr videos or some rain/wind/train/other sounds that are relaxing to me, I have an app in my phone for that.
4) Making my environment super comfy and cosy - cold temperature around, no stuff in my bed. But you know - when there is stuff in your head, this does not help anyway :D
Good luck with healing, everyone!
thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Really appreciated. :)
I use these methods but i have insomnia chronic for 3 years after a pshycosis and today i can t sleep neither 1-2 hours,please help me
The tip presented here is a part of a CBTI program. Additionally get up every day the same time if possible, get lots of light on the 1st third of day etc.
Having a tbi (traumatic brain injury) and not getting enough sleep has been so detrimental it has caused so many issues for me it physically debilitates me it affects my muscles specifically in my face affects my cognitive abilities such as my speech and vocal projection in so many ways because of the dysarthria my anxiety goes through the roof and in stressful situations I twitch or my body does inner twitches Being on sleeping meds since 4 my body relied on it being off all medications for so many things for a year helped but hitting my head skating and stressors in life has made the insomnia so much worse just wanna feel normal again and feel like a normal person who can fall asleep at normal hours and not stay up from 9-4 am when my job is working with kids who won’t look at me like I’m weird or creepy or scary
Don't worry i have the exact same problm except i don't have a brain injury I have anxiety and that leads to it , you're fine , you're not alone !
Thank you
you're welcome
Thank you I will inform my mom about this she can’t sleep at all and she’s been depending on sleeping pills but they have giving her side effects now and she wants to leave them but as she’s now addicted to it and depends on it and is now trying to stop taking it I’ll try my best to help her out
Hope she will be successful.
I don't feel sleepy until 5 am which is horrible because I end up feeling tired the entire day until like 12 hours later which makes it hard for me to get back into a decent job. I have a problem shutting off mental stress. I also have ADHD and like being up at night at times. Bedrooms make me feel bored. I cant afford a new couch so I don't sleep on it much bc its uncomfortable.Reading magazines puts me to sleep especially National Geographic. Sometimes I dont feel like holding anything though. Sometimes half a cup of decaffinated coffee helps to relax my brain or I find relationship coaches on YT and it oddly puts me to sleep aroud 5am. I think I need the works though. A massage every night, essential oils, tempurpedic type mattress, and a nice view lol. Thanks for video u didnt mention the usuals.
I have really bad hypnic jerks though and jolts me awake no matter if nap or are at night
Thank you, maybe it will help me, I will try it! I never try this but it sounds so simple. I had sleeping problems since 3 years now..
I hope you will find success. Insomnia is hell.
Just try this: stay up one evening and dont plan to go to bed. bingewatch a tv series you like, maybe Stranger things. And dont go to bed until you are tired. Give yourself permission to stay up all night.
Thank you for this info. The last 4 to 5 months my 25 year old daughter did not sleep. The best she could get is slumber like state of 30 to 6o minutes. Any advise on that? She definitely have high cortisol symptoms in the evening and throughout the night. Thank you in advance
I wish I could help, but it sounds like she needs professional help. :(
Im very sorry.
@@TomScryleus ,thank you for your timely response. Unfortunately as of now my daughter believes she can overcome this on her own. Her reluctance to see specialist for her total insomnia is that she believes they all only prescribe sleeping pills and that's not a solution for her. Thank you again for taking the time to respond
I dont like the idea of sleeping pills.
My father is addicted to them. Used them for 25 years.
But if the sleeping disorder is severe then you have to do what you can. I hope you and your daughter find a good solution.
@@TomScryleus , thank you!
The bed anxiety is so true! Sadly, I think its rooted very deep inside me now since Ive been sleeping on the couch for almost 2 months now, but its fine, I like the couch somehow XD Also what really stressed me out was checking the time anytime I couldnt sleep. Thats probably also one of the biggest mistakes you, or I could/can do, since Im into that mindset of "less than 6hours is bad for your health". I need to get up at 6am throughout the week, and as soon as I see the time is passed 0:00 midnight, I start panicking. I still struggle with this mindset but its getting better, also (even if this sounds weird) with knowing that other people feel the same. :)
I read your words and remember how I suffered too. One suggestion is forget ”less than 6h is bad”. That will just stress u out. You can sleep extra the following day, take powernaps etc.
I know that panic when its passed midnight. But the first step is to kill the sleep anxiety. And only go to bed when you feel tired. After a while you will get better at sleeping.
I have reduced my sleep anxiety so much that i can go to bed even when im to to sleepy, because my brain remembers the joy of closing eyes when i am dead tired.
Right now your brain thinks
”bed? Ok, time to feel anxiety again”
@@TomScryleus thanks a lot! I'll try to forget about those thoughts and will focus on your tips :)
I would say if bed anxiety thought pass one night ..
They can pass whole life..
Be positive and take plenty of sunlightt your eyes must know its time to wake and its time to go to bed..
And remember thoughts are not real when we thinks they are affecting us they become real..
Be fearless ..
You are not going to die..
@@ajayparashar6657 thank you so much, you absolutely right!

Did you develop anxiety for sleeping? And by doing this technique of not going to bed until tired did you anxiety eventually went away?
yes
This video it’s the best one I found about fighting insomnia. About a year ago, I started having an obsession with sleeping, and every night I was forcing myself to sleep… well it didn’t work, the sleep is not an on off button. I was trying to control that and even saying to myself “sleeping is not important”, because my obsession was so big that I was afraid of what could happen with me when losing hours of sleep. I took some pills, not sleeping ones but anxiety pills, and it’s the only thing that really helps when I really can’t fall asleep because I can’t stop forcing myself to sleep. I take these pills when I am feeling very bad and can’t fight the anxiety by myself. I did some exams to understand if there was something wrong with my organism, but everything was ok…. Anxiety sometimes makes you feel so scared of such stupid things, like “ I have to wake up early tomorrow, so I really need to sleep” and then you don’t sleep. And when I can’t sleep, my anxiety gets bigger the next day in such way that it’s pretty much harder to fall asleep the next night. So, this is what I do: I definitely use this trick of not worrying about the sleeping time (at least I try), when I can’t sleep one night and the next night I can’t fall asleep again, I take pills for anxiety. Right now it’s 7:06 AM and didn’t fall asleep… I know the next night I will have to take one of these pills…
Praying Jesus to heal me from all of the anxiety and insomnia, I’m pretty much better! Baby steps!
The lord bless you guys and heal you from all insomnia
Im glad you liked the video, and hope you feel better soon. Worrying about getting sleep will get you more anxiety, so I hope you can overcome it.
The only downside to "my method". is that sometimes I will go to bed much later that I want. which can be bad when I need to get up early.
but its worth it not having anxiety over not being able to sleep.
@@TomScryleus totally worth! When worrying about next day you can’t even fall asleep!!
In my case, I can't sleep coz of my anxious mind. I can't stop thinking. It's been months for me too battling this insomnia and anxiety. And I'm even so afraid that it would cause some serious health issues if I don't sleep and that creates more anxiety
@@devorahtenajeros9843 , I will pray for you! For me Jesus is the answer for everything. I was suffering this anxiety and insomnia, but since I’ve gave this problem to him, and decided to trust him, I’m so much better. Trust me I totally understand you, I thought no even God could help me but He did. Ofc I’m not perfectly ok sometimes anxiety comes but I’m learning how to fight it with Jesus Christ! He cares about everything in you. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7
@@carlaferreira2300 I'm a fool for not trusting the Lord. I really want to but can't. May the the Lord be merciful! It is really hard.😞 Btw, we won't have any health issues right if we can't sleep properly for weeks or months?
My problem Is when i do fall asleep i wake up 1or 2 hrs later . Iam dead tried and still cant fall asleep. This been going on for 5 month now
It is heart warming to hear silence again without sound disturbance, all thanks to Dr iyaremoses on CZcams channel for his herbal medication
hows u now
Well I don't know if I relate to this but my case was a bit different, I'm suffering from insomnia since March 2020 when I stated my keto diet and I stopped diet after one month but my insomnia is still there, I went to my doctor several times and he gave me few medicines to improve my sleep quality but nothing works, my problem is not to fall asleep I can't stay asleep or it's very bad quality sleep that I'm sleeping but feel like I'm awake, and it's getting worse day by day, I can't work and focus on anything. Please help me guys.
Me too! Many nights if I don't feel super sleepy and I force myself to sleep it feels superficial not deep and not effective like it's not doing anything. So I still feel tired. The sleep is very unenjoyable too.
How are you feeling now ? Did u got better?
try the CBTI THERAPY FOR INSOMNIA this type of therapy helps a lot
Honestly at this point turn to subliminals manifest it into your brain to get some quality sleep
Hey good video for those who suffer from this type of insomnia
Thank you :)
I’m confused about the Power Nap thing. How does that they line up with don’t sleep unless tired? How are you controlling that?
In one way it has nothing to do with the philosophy I apply.
The power nap is because I sleep 5-6 hours per night, so I need my powernaps as well.
but in another way it actually works very well with the philosophy, I sleep when I feel tired. in the evenings I feel like resting so I take a powernap.
@@TomScryleus what if you never can have a power nap? like the ability to fall asleep during naps
What if im sleepy at 2pm? Do I hold off until night time to try and sleep?
Thats a tricky question. I personally do a powernap in the afternoon every day, and it does not affect my sleep. if anything I think it kind of gives me a boost to be more active in the evening, and then I get tired anyway around midnight.
I hope you find rest soon.
I have muscle twitching and jerking, muscle aches, never tired, very bipolar like, and mucus and inflammation. I'm so sick please help. I also have severe stress. If started from getting covid 8 months ago. 2 days of insomnia and now in getting 1-2 days of sleep per week for the last 8 months.
Hi, just wanna ask how are you doing now (Hope you are okay now) and if did you already cure you insomnia?
Thanks Tom. Can i ask when you had insomnia those years how many hours would you sleep a night
I honestly dont remember. It was very uneven. Some nights i could sleep 10 hours(!) and other 1-2 hours.
Today I sleep around 5-6 hours, and I often take powernaps on the couch in the evening, doesnt affect my sleep. Its as I say in the video, I sleep when Im sleepy. It works for me.
@@TomScryleus Hi Tom. Are you sleeping at regular hours ?
Since I started out adulthood, I couldn`t get enough rest. I am on day 7 of this sleep plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* and already feel better. I slept for 8 hours last night, for the very first time in ages. This is a extremely helpful plan. I read about the causes of insomnia and various ways to treat it. So you can pick what works for you.
What if I’m tired during the workday and I have to work and then by the time I’m done with work I’m not tired anymore? I’ve been suffering with insomnia. I got two hours of sleep last night and this isn’t living. My insomnia triggers migraines. It’s a vicious cycle.
Im sorry to hear about your troubles. :(
For some people its more severe.
Wish I could help.
@@TomScryleus thanks
I've had insomnia for 25 years its snowballed into a huge problem. I agree don't go to sleep until tired. I don't think getting uo when awake helps , I tried that for years just makes me worry more. I think it's all related to being an over thinker. I'm going to practice mindfulness and being present. Still really exhausted every day. Hopefully a solution will come.
well, I guess people work differently.
So you gotta find your way to deal with it.
I can't sleep more that 5-6 hours per night, so obviously I get tired sometimes, but I use powernaps on the couch every other day. It works for me. I've found a way that works for me.
Insomnia isn't really a problem at all. It's the problem of thinking there's a problem when there's none which _BECOMES_ the problem. Hope that makes sense. Your mind gets confused and stressed over it which makes sleeping harder
Have you developed diabetes
How can you tell when you’re tired and actually ready for bed?
when you cant keep your eyes open
I literally just started getting insomnia the past two weeks. I need to find the root cause
go to bed when tired.. thats my suggestion
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.?
idk if this will work for me. my insomnia is were i don.t get sleepy even if i get 2 hours of sleep. i tryed to stay up tell i get sleepy. was awake 42 hours and no sleepy. had no choice to try to go sleep because i don.t wanna get to the 3 day staying up because thats were ppl see things.

So I bumped into your video after searching some that would might help me cure my insomnia. I have had actually thought about your tip but didn't do that ever. I am under anti psychotic drug to help me sleep for nearly 2 years now and now, this medicine doesn't seem to work anymore and I have developed sleep anxiety. This is so hard as hell. I don't know what elese to do. Now, I have found a tip that I actually thought about and I am trying this. God! Only those who are like me would understand how bad this disease is. It can lead into some serious mental illness and other serious ailments. Now that my medicine isn't working on me, I am gonna try anything I could find to help me. I hope to find one that will work because actually, I don't want to be on anti psycho drug for long, I just this to be cured naturally.
I'm very sorry to hear about your problems.
The big difference for me before and after I tried this is that I really enjoy sleep now, I look forward to going to bed. But I don't go to bed until I'm REALLY REALLY sleepy.
Before I used to think sleep is just a thing you have to do to stay healthy. So my perspective really shifted.
I don't even think about getting the sleep I need. If I don't feel sleepy, I have no issues staying up half the night. I watch movies and just enjoy the night, until I get sleepy. It worked for me.
I truly hope you find a way (if "my" way doesn't work).
