Same. I have been insomniac for 2 years. Went from doctor to doctor and took all the types of medication available. I feel like I was a guinea pig/lab rat for the last 2 years. Until I finally kept my sleep regime it solved everything. No meds needed.
Absolutely correct, I get up at 0430 to start my work 2 hours early (outside labour) so I get more time at home, and I have no issues falling asleep.. I used to struggle to to sleep healthy before
Trying to sleep FUELS insomnia. If you want to sleep well, accept that you can’t MAKE sleep happen, sleep happens when you stop trying and ALLOW it to happen.
That's not entirely true. By waking up earlier and going out into the sun, you are adjusting your circadian rhythm, allowing you to sleep a bit earlier. Also, just going to sleep in a dark room with no bright light before that gets you in the routine too. Read the book called "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker, and you'll see that's why Andrew recommends doing that
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 I don’t need to read ANYTHING by Matthew Walker. As a recovering insomniac, I hope other sufferers don’t walk, but RUN away from Matthew Walker and his recommendations. Focusing on getting sleep FUELS insomnia. And trying to make things just so- Perfect lighting, perfect temperature, no noise, etc.- only makes sufferers more sensitive to waking. Because what do they do if one of those things are out of place? They all slept just fine in the past WITHOUT those things, so why do they need them NOW? The key to overcoming insomnia is not more sleep, it’s becoming okay with being awake. When we become worried about sleep, we teach our brains that not sleeping, aka “being awake,” is a threat. Our brain goes into high alert to try to avoid wakefulness, and THIS is what keeps us awake. In my recovery, when I lay down at night, I have to ACCEPT that I may not sleep and then resolve that even if I stay up all night, it’s no big deal. The less I worry, the more I sleep. And I consistently break multiple “sleep hygiene” rules (Look at computer screen, caffeine after 4pm, lay down in bed with no intention of sleeping). When I was following them, I couldn’t sleep. The nearest I come to sleep hygiene is that have a specific wake up time. So I lay down at night, refuse to look at the clock, and when my alarm goes off, I get up. It’s that simple.
@@Rctdcttecededtef oh yes. Nothing like watching the sun come up. When I lived on the beach I love to go out before sunrise and swim way out until I felt like I was all alone just floating in the dark and watch the sun come up. Found that joy to be just enough many a lonely day
He's talking about what the participants of a controlled research study were asked to do rather than giving you "7 STEPS TO FIX YOUR SLEEP CYCLE." Please don't take this stuff out of context and watch the actual video. (This section starts at 9:52 minute mark in the video, so do yourself a favor.)
1. Waking up two to three hours before its comfy. 2. Early in the day light exposure (light in the eyes, i guess. Even on a cloudy day the sky is really bright but our eyes get used to it very fast which makes us think it is dark when its actually bright). 3. Keep sleep and waketimes fixed. No sleep ins. I think fixed waketime is more important than sleeptime. 4. Go to bed 2 to 3 hours prior to your normal bedtime. 5. Limit light exposure during the evenings. Especially artificial lights. 6. Regular daily schedule for the meals (within app. 30 min).
I think there is really something about it. I'm working since two years a job and I have to get up five am and since then I have really little problems to go in bed ten PM which is very early for me. But eating just on point is something quite impossible for me as my normal eating schedule is to eat when I am hungry and to not eat when I'm not. I think this is the best eating schedule one can have as I am over 40 and have absolutely no belly accept let's say my father and all the other man in my age around here. I'm pretty sure they have the belly because they don't eat when the hungry but thy eat when the clock dictates. But I really love to know that there are ways and measurements you can apply wants your have really big problems with sleeping. 👍
Magnesium really helps. Take it about an hour before sleep. Here's a checklist for you: 1. The advice given in video 2. Make sure you're getting exercise. If you think about it, why would the body wanna sleep if it still has unspent energy 3. Have consistent bedtimes and wake times. Your body needs a cycle! 4. Reading before bed also helps me to not think about sleep 5. Don't eat too close to bed time
That's the point... fixing a sleep cycle is not about sleeping on time or early, It's about waking up early to then feel fatigue the following night to then fall asleep early naturally. Sleeping early and on time to only wake up at 10-12am is not going to fix anything, It's only going to shift your cycle to different hours.
Nah when it's summer isha is at 11 almost and you can't go to bed till you pray isha. And you have to wake up for the dawn prayer too. Yes you get less sleep but I might live a day or two or a week or two so for the life that comes after that is ever lasting it's a worthy trade off.
Lmao. Look kid, this man here is talking about the one life we certainly know we have. If you want to live that life and be healthy, you can use his advice. You gotta stop confusing beliefs with reality, one exists no matter what you wish for, and the other one not so much
@@dimitrijekrstic7567Sit down with your grudge. Islam has been proven right a million times, its health advices have been proven right as well. This one will be no different, just wait and time will tell. Coming here to argue with God himself I swear 😂
I have the opposite problem. I don’t sleep in or go to bed late and I wake up at 5:30 on the dot every single day without an alarm. But I just don’t feel rested. Ever. I can feel my brain starting to slip away and I’m really concerned. Turning 30 next week.
The best advice for shift workers is get off shift. Shift work will take years off your life as your constantly fighting your natural sicadian rythm. You can limit some of it's negative effects by getting enough sleep/rest, exercise, eat well basically outside of shift work live as healthy a lifestyle as you can.
@@bear693 I'm about to go into a job where I wake up at 5 and work till 5. Hoping it fixes my sleep schedule because right now I'm a 4-midnight closer at a restaurant and I can feel the stress in the evening and it's hard to go to bed.
Stare into the Sun first 15min and last 15min of the day. No other time. Work up to it. Start with seconds, then build. For me, the blind spot changes colors from red-oygbi-violet. When it turns purple I’m done.
Try to have dinner before 7.30pm. sleep by 9.30 or 10. Wake up between 3.30am to 4am. This practice used to be followed by Indians atleast 200 years back. And now only a fraction of them follow this ( particularly in South India)
Dogs are pieces of garbage, the neighbor’s dog has been torturing me for 2.5 years from barking EVERY day. You know how many times it ruined my sleep schedule after I desperately fixed it? You know how torturing it is not to be able to sleep without being interrupted 6+ times a night?
I just can't be this robotic. My ADHD is too powerful and I'm not on any meds for it right now. I have a heart condition so they don't wanna give me stimulants, which is what I need. So I smoke a lot of cigarettes and drink a lot of coffee. Which makes me physically feel like shit but it helps me to focus. Otherwise I'm just fkin all over the place.
Routine is the best thing that has helped me channel my ADHD. Don't think of ADHD as a disorder, it's a super power! Coffee, stimulates, and medication always put me out of whack.
@@zxctgb for example when ever I slip up and have a coffee at work I wont be able to get to sleep till 1 or 2 am, where I usually go to sleep between 9-10pm. Then I wont be able to wake up at my normal 5am.
Sure, let's call research bullshit since you chimed in with you massive amount of data and a sample size of 1. God damn people are weird sometimes. And btw, according to dr Matthew Walker, about 30% of the population is genetically a night owl.
Maybe you are one of the lucky few who doesn't have a problem but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Studies prove that night shift workers have more health problems than day shift workers.

Thanks man genuinely helpful advice

It’s a bit hard to wake up 3 hours before my regular time and get sunlight. I’d be waking at 5am.
Thank you

Very hard to adapt a sleep schedule aorund that & get early morning sun unfortunately
If I woke up any earlier, there wouldn't be any sunlight to absorb
How do you sleep sober? Asking for a friend
Whit Jesus Christ our savior

Tell your 'friend' that being intoxicated actually reduces the quality of your sleep.
