- Have we all thought that we could sleep better? Can we solve sleep? Dr. Vyga Kaufmann discusses just what sleep disorders are and what tools you have to sleep better tonight. Hint: no square screens anywhere near your bed.
When Vyga Kaufmann, PhD thinks about a night of quality sleep she envisions Ivan Pavlov comfortably reclined in a freight train gliding down a mountain under a moonlit sky. As a clinical psychologist with 20 years of professional experience in mental health care and a relentless curiosity about how and why we sleep she has applied her expertise to promoting awareness about the ways that seemingly benign behaviors can impact overall quality of sleep. Kaufmann is a founding partner of Summit Behavioral Sleep Medicine, part-time instructor in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at CU Boulder, hiker of Mt. Sanitas, and mother of an energetic and inquisitive 4-year old daughter.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
This lady is brilliant. And I love that quote It is more important to know the person has a disease than a disease a person has. I probably couldn’t agree with that statement more
I'm 62 and only starting having trouble after having to sleep on air mattresses. After completing college, I've had to move all over the country while seeking employment. The air mattresses almost ruined my back, but the anxiety and depression kicked in after being unable to find a job. (My son also lost his part-time job so it has been a struggle for two years.) Check your mattress....I need firmer support! Exercise weekly, see a therapist if necessary and stay engaged with other people. A warm shower and chamomile tea before bed helps too, but call it a night by 11:00 pm. Tip: Swimming is a great tonic for sleep disorders.
In summary:
Doc, how do I sleep better?
Get great sleep.
no kidding
CBT for me has one thing to tell: if there's sth that scares you the most do it until it doesn't scare you at all
Thank you!
It's all about theory, No practical at all.
If you seek a piece of advice for better sleep, it's a waste of your time.
I watched this vid instead of sleeping it 12:39am rn
This is the same tired advice we've heard in every article written about sleep. And no, CBT-I should not be the first line of defense with insomnia. It should be trying to evaluate the physical reasons in the body that is preventing you from sleeping well.
Gina McGalliard exactly thought it was ok video till last half of video
Till started by using medication for it no thank you
Surely tired advice is what you need if you cannot sleep. :-)
It depends on the person and why they can't sleep. If someone is keeping themselves up worrying then obviously therapy can help. Or if they have poor sleep hygiene. If they are doing everything right and can't sleep then it's likely physical.
@@ninj4stud Okay that was pretty clever 😉
Meditating is also great way to help get a better sleep! 😀 Meditating will:
- increase melatonin (the sleep hormone)
- increase serotonin (precursor of melatonin)
- reduce heart rate
- decrease blood pressure
- activate parts of the brain that control sleep
It is mostly worry about no future, depression and insomnia are linked. Life just disappeared,you lose everything in life, you will be depressed.
Nice...thanks
read the book for a more comprehensive treatment on sleep.
Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
Sleeping in lockdown is the worst😓
im still up watching this at 02.36 this is every night feel tired every day at work.
The Dreem2 is a sleep helmet that is designed to prolong and consolidate deep sleep. It also has built in CBT programs. It's not cheap, (€400) but it is a personal sleep lab. 5xEEG as good as a sleep lab and the sleep stage monitoring is 83% accurate as compared to 86% for an expert human. I own one, no other affiliation.
Failing that, you could do a lot of exercise, that will make you tired at the end of the day. No amount of coffee will keep you awake at that point. I do that too.
My dreem helmet was absolutly not accurate at all.
@@sebpatu The dreem2 is a lot more comfortable, it's the one that was independently tested. Not available in the US yet.
I know a 91 year old man that is still very lucid and sharp. Aside from dialysis, he's doing alright... I asked him, "Mr. Jones... what's your secret?" He replied, "Shawn... get good sleep and stay away from alcohol." Well... I'm batting .500.
Doctors don't have much to offer - we know that drugs impair sleep quality and often don't work. In the UK CBT is advocated as first line treatment - but it is expensive and we don't have enough practitioners. Online CBT may help. And as one of the comments points out, it may only be a solution for anxiety linked insomnia. We are working on prompting the brain to follow good sleep patterns by using extremely low power electrical prompts - Zeez Sleep Pebble. Please check us out. Especially researchers.
Great video...clear and concise.
No sleep for a couple weeks will drive one insane. I'm still here at 55 and it is horrible.
Oh "if you have insomnia maybe you should get it checked out". I did just that and instead of the doctor trying to understand my sleeping disorder, they only wanted to prescribe prescriptions. Once that I told the doctor I wasn't interested in prescriptions he basically told me he couldn't help me.
I didn't know Taylor Swift was a doctor
haters gonna hate...
Look what u made her do
Great Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Millawdon Impulsive Wish Trick (search on google)? It is a good one off product for getting rid of insomnia without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam after many years got great success with it.
Wish she was that smart lol
20shourya how is that hate? Taylor is Beautiful
And what's about RLS (restless leg syndrome)?
As a long term sufferer of insomnia I know that cbti to cure sleeplessness is BS
I'm too stressed to sleep and in the morning it gets worse. I can't sleep more than 5 1/2 hours, but I want to. What do I do?
very optimistic I like it..
It sure is taking a lot of time to start today is past 10:30pm
I'm in love with this content. I read a book with similar content, and I'm in love with it. "Better Sleep Better Life" by William Brook
11:00 well for a person with anxiety it's not even possible to exercice nor eat at all
Please see vids by dr stasha gominak if you want to really understand sleep medicine
Magnesium, St.John's Wort and Apple Cider Vinegar. Works for me, along with CPAP. Waiting for data on CBD, a non-psychoactive chemical from cannabis.
Wow that’s a lot of stuff to take
@@dawncolayco9340 Magnesium every day; SJW and ACV every second or third day (ACV dries the skin and can make your back itchy if you take it too frequently). Recently read that Canadian insurance companies will use "frequent" cannabis use (defined as more than 3-4 times per week), including non-psychoactive CBD prescribed medicinally by a doctor, as an excuse to jack up premiums.
I tryed CBD once last week. It made me have crazy dreams during sleep. It's definitly not for me. Melatonine and magesium work better. Anyway I have more peaceful dreams.
I should probably turn this off and go to sleep.
Actually deep sleep is not a lack of consciousness but consciousness without objects.
I’m starting to see a new trend with Ted videos - clickbait? 😔
and low quality
True😔
lovethis
Well that's ten minutes of my life that I'll never get back. Thanks for absolutely nothing.
thats exactley what i thought .....that was a waste of time
And with the bear, their behavior is similar to dogs. I carry a 44 mag in the mountains, by preparation, I won't be running.
How does this apply to a single mum with an 11 month old still nursing her to sleep with night feedings 🙈😅
Bless this woman.
Acupuncture can help improve the quality of your sleep by alleviating stress and anxiety.
No
This was a waste of 11 minutes. No new information and there is a lot more to sleep than what is in this video. Very basic
It was helpful to me, as an English learner, for her fancy words. lol
wgy it helps so much is you get to rattle off what’s going on and b your mind so you don’t have to do it at night
I'm getting sleepy. Think ill have a glass of warm milk now and lay me down
There's a spiritual connection to this A good conscience
Is this Taylor Swift’s aunt?
Too bad for those of us who are unable to talk with a therapist. Guess I'll continue with my 1-3 hours a night of sleep.

Exactly..
много лишнего наговорила, а стратегию лечения так и не озвучила.
That was a lot of talking without saying much
Absolutely useless. CBT does appear somewhat effective for anxiety, which could help a bit with insomnia. It could also potentially treat sleep anxiety (i.e. anxiety about insomnia). However, why would this be sufficient? What about people who are resistant to placebo? What about cost? Isn't this rather condescending and dismissive?
I'm a big fan of drugs. However, the common sleep drugs impair sleep quality. I'm currently interested in hydroxyzine 100-200mg per night, as it should improve sleep quality. I haven't tried it yet, but hope to soon. It is an unscheduled legend drug and an antihistamine, so I imagine it's not hard to get upon request.
Guess I have insomnia
Is it just me or does she look like an older taylor swift
sounds more like a sales person. also removing symptoms is a poor goal for health treatment.
M'kay, so it took 11minutes to get to the point: "Eat healthy and exercise". Could've been done in under one minute :/
I wish I had slept instead of watching this talk with a very misleading title "How do I Sleep Better". There was not one bit of advice other than eat well and exercise. Gee. Thanks.
So in other words it was a Ted Talk.
Türkish please. Biri tercüme etsin lütfen.
Waste of the time. long meaningless story and last is a cliche
Teste
I can't sleep because I keep thinking of you. Your a hottie!
Please be courteous of your neighbors and lock your cars quietly with light flash Only. No Honk. The Auto Industry needs to change to technology that does not emit noise into our communities. Thank you.
This appears to be a memorized speech.
mudsinkmayor of course it is
All Ted Talks are prepared in some way
Well, that was a waste of 11 minutes and 25 seconds of my life.
Very uninformative -- waste of time
No ,,,,I don’t like this ted talk. Matt walker spoke the same topic way more better.
The ajar bangladesh individually shrug because sagittarius basically explain qua a adventurous education. cagey, rightful egg
my sleep has been non-restorative for 20 years & none of the the sleep help B.S. ever does a damn thing. just accept you don't know wtf you're talking about "sleep experts"!
I just wasted 11minutes 25 seconds of my life
well that was useless
Taylor Swift aged so quickly
Blah blah blah
In sleep our Soul identifies its divine nature. That is the reason that science ignores.
BS
There was literally not a single piece of useful information in this TedTalk.
