This inability to get back to sleep after waking up has been a problem for me lately. I still seem to function well during the day, however, and I can walk fairly long distances each day. I am 68 and stress is a difficulty I have. Furthermore, I have to get up many times during the night to use the washroom. I get early morning sunlight. I hope my sleep improves and I hope my health gets better.
Thank you for sharing!! I am following your recommendation and last night I slept all the way through the night and when I woke up and looked at the clock it was 6:30!! I was elated........
I woke up at exactly the same time- 6:30 one night, so was able to get 6.5 hours of sleep. But that was after 42 hours of no sleep at all! 😅 And guess what, the next night I was back to wide awake and not being able to fall asleep 😖😫
Thank you for your informative presentation. I've been strugging with insomnia for nearly 2 years. My sleep habits were never that good to start with but I was always able to get adequate sleep. A bout with covid 19 in Sept. 2022 made an immediately noticeable change in my sleep habits and I've been struggling with the condition since,, difficulty falling asleep, gettng back to sleep after waking up to go to the bathroom, etc. Though it has been recommended, no one here offers CBT-I. I use prescription meds only as I feel necessary, being aware of the negatives. I'll be 77 in August. I guess that doesn't help. Thank you again.
I had tried everything, been on medication for many years. I have more stress because of family. I yawn, but don't go to sleep. I am tired when II wake up. Going to neurologist again. Melatonin Don't help. I used to workout after work. But that was years before insommia. I was on Prempro before insommia. Tried the breathing
t might also just be metabolic, I was over exercising obsessed with cardio, under eating and not getting enough carbs which resulted in several nutritional deficiencies after 6 years etc (thought I was being healthy, felt great in the initial years) unknowingly I was putting my body in a catabolic state which will cause the body to stay awake and alert, as it is meant to. Think about what you are doing and what messages you are sending to your central nervous system via the way you eat, exercise and live...you might be putting your body in survival mode and the body is simply doing what its meant to be doing. I cut back and changed the way I exercise opting for more anabolic promoting activities with ample recovery time, ate more frequent balanced meals, avoided stimulants and recently quit alcohol. It has taken a long time for my body to balance out and recover, I now don't even need to bother with or think about sleep hygiene, I get tired and sleep. I hope this helps someone in a similar predicament, the worst part is not knowing what is happening, how to recover. and no one seems to be able to help. You can't relax, meditate or think your way out of a catabolic state....Give your body what it needs and your central nervous system and mind will calm and deep sleep will return.
I am 60 and completed over 20 marathons (.....and 60+ half marathons ) in the early 2000s I was reasonably competitive having run under 3hours 10mins on eight occasions, although sadly I never broke the 3 hour barrier Perhaps I am being ignorant, but what carbs in particular do you feel you were missing that caused you to have a nutritional deficiency? The body operates fine without carbs, as any ketogenic or low carb diet will testify. I have been on a low carb diet for decades and its never curtailed my athletic performance. As I understand it putting your body into a catabolic state would involve the break down of both fats and carbs. For someone like myself with limited carbs in my system at any given time, this would create more ketones in my blood and would burn only fat, which is the objective of a ketogenic diet. Depending on your weight loss goals I would not be looking on it as a negative thing. Quitting alcohol seems like a positive initiative, and I wish i could do likewise. Taking a holistic approach to sleep issues with small adjustments here and there also makes a lot of sense
@@byrong1561 initially i was following the scd diet to heal my gut, which it did but excluded many foods including carbs, dairy, starches and processed foods. i was eating high volume but unknowingly low cal, which was part of the problem
Doesn't even mention the #1 cause and that is electromagnetic pulses from wifi, smart meter, cellphone,' smart' devices, Lifi streetlamps etc, poking you all night
I have been on insomnia for long years. I need to hear the remedies on how to get sleep as easy as possible.. So please shorten your talking go to the remedies on how to get sleep.
I am suffering from insomnia for the last 15 years. I tried all the tricks suggested by so many people like you Dr. Bhatnagar supposed to be famous for treating insomnia effected people i i have tried but no improvement at all. I am back to sleeping pills.
The minute you said « speak to your doctor » you lost me. Not doing the drug thing, sorry!! Stating the obvious is really not helpful but irritating. 👎
I have the same problem. Ever since Covid ? A change in my routine and working out after work 3x a week ! It’s been two years. Trying to get off sleep meds … thinking back on the day or the day before. I try using a heating pad to help me relax but not sure it helps … my thyroid levels were up my my Dr sort of dismissed it … maybe I’ll get it checked out …. I did buy blue light blocking light bulbs too ! Idk if they’re working
Hello Doctor..I suffer from anxiety and tension when I face a problem. My body trembles, my heartbeat increases, and I feel difficult to speak. ..Do you recommend supplement to treat my condition..Please help my age 40 years
Nice video with a lot of good advice. It is also recommended to go to bed and wake up at about the same time every day and after you wake up, to expose your eyes to sunlight for at least several minutes.
Considering the state of the planet l doubt if I'll ever get to sleep again. Putin's nuclear threat, Third World on the move, astronomical national debt, record homelessness, out of control narcotics in the streets, resentful black populations, political correctness, gender dysphoria and the next epidemic.
None of that is in your control. I think of it like this, if I lived deep in the Amazon jungle, I would never know about any of these. Disconnect and focus on what makes you feel good and do those things. Go hiking, go for a walk, garden, play music, take up a hobby, go to the gym. If the bomb hits, at least you lead a happy life on your terms.
So this 'doctor' does not know about over methylation or elevated serotonin? What a joke. I do have chaotic sleep but none of the other things are relevant.

The best thing I know for pain relief is chiropractic. Whenever I have trouble sleeping, I get adjusted and sleep well the next night.

This was very helpful
@sodas32 ..you have nailed it on the head. Well put.
And thank you.

@@sodas32 Understood. You seem to have a good handle on how your body works which most people don’t. Thanks for the explanation and all the best
And here I am watching this at 3 AM...
420am
Same old advice that has been given out forever. If it was that simple people wouldn't be clicking on the video. Not helpful.
Yes, mostly just general sleep hygiene practices. Not helpful for real long term insomniacs.
Doesn't even mention the #1 cause and that is electromagnetic pulses from wifi, smart meter, cellphone,' smart' devices, Lifi streetlamps etc, poking you all night
Helo there. I am a recovering heroin addict and I have been in a lot of fearfully situations.
So I find it hard to sleep and relex
Some videos have said that quiet rest in bed is regenerative.
unfortunately, nothing you have mentioned actually helps if you have Terminal Insomnia . doctors no longer treat pain or sleep.
I have been on insomnia for long years. I need to hear the remedies on how to get sleep as easy as possible.. So please shorten your talking go to the remedies on how to get sleep.
wish i had a forget button then my sleep would be great again if i just didnt think about trying to drop off

I've been suffering chronic insomnia for 13 years I've tried everything nothing works
Very good suggestions. Thanks.

Sometimes it's not drugs. I got diagnosed with sleep apnea and now have a cpap machine. No drugs.
I have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep
How are you sleeping now? Have you tried sleep restriction? For some people it can help increase your sleep drive and may take time.

Have someone drive you around in the car. I am always able to fall asleep on long road trips.
Thank you!!!

Looks like low magnesium and/or low vit d
@@miguelags9514 thank you
get the right type of magnesium @@miguelags9514
Switch to deep breathing from your stomach
@@josevasquez8193yes, magnesium citrate 👍
Nothing helpful, just the average tips that are around for ages and any person with insomnia has tried plenty of time without much or any relief.

The only thing that works is Jack Kruse sunlight exposure
Some people have good results with cbt

Dr Obehi Herbal Home on UA-cam Thank you for curing my Insomnia permanently with herbs😊🎉
Nothing new. People with imsomnia know this
I am 69, and I have been unable to get good sleep since I was a teenager😢😢😢
At this point i d rather be dead
I feel your pain. Have you tried someone driving you around? I am usually able to fall asleep on long road trips.
@@lastochka100 no one is willing to do that, in Romania gas is very expensive
Considering the state of the planet l doubt if I'll ever get to sleep again.

And don't forget a corrupt president in office.

Agreed, same ole, same ole tips… none which work 😢
Yeah I agree
Yap,yap,yap
