REALLY interesting to hear about how so little light is needed to affect sleep! Can't believe that. I go to the extent of listening to podcasts by candlelight before sleep to avoid any blue light and extra light levels (does seem to help my sleep delay getting worse) & I have blackout blinds, but listening to this video made me realise that I've got an extension cable with a light on it in my bedroom, I am going to cover that up tonight with some tape for def!! That was awesome info. I just restarted cold showers, can't do more than 45 seconds or I get super cold an hour later and can't warm up again, but 45 seconds works great, and I swear it helps me a bit over time. Less anxiety. Did a couple of Epsom salt baths ages ago and had a great night's sleep, but I'd totally forgotten about them, so that's great, back on the shopping list. Def need to try that again. And I definitely think that screen time thing applies to me! I sometimes get too sucked into stuff and don't get enough rest breaks in, also I've found that variety throughout the day is much better than watching tv all day when I'm bedbound, seems to tire me out less swapping between different activities. Some stuff that worked for me: watching nature walks amongst trees n stuff on you tube, ASMR videos, that breathing where you do 4, 5 7 breathing for just a few breaths helps, and splashing my face with ice cold water/flannel. Good luck comments people. Thanks Miguel! Super useful video for me.
Hey Kate! Yes, I was shocked when I heard about that experiment where they shined light the size of a quarter and it made a different in the quality of sleep! Then I got an eye mask and heavier curtains and I did notice a huge difference in the "depth" of sleep that I was getting. Nowadays I'll actually only go about 20 seconds with cool/cold water but I find even that's enough to make difference. I need to work my way back up to 45-60 seconds! Essentially, the longer you can last in the shower (and faster your body gets accustomed to the cold) the stronger your parasympathetic nervous system is. So it's something one must train.
@@cfsrecovery Maybe I'll try doing a really slow increase for the shower then. Last time I think I jumped from 30 second's to 45 and then straight up to a minute, so perhaps if I do 5 or 10 second intervals and do it over a much longer time period I might make it to a minute too! :) It feels amazing when you just get out too. Love that feeling. Anyway, thanks for the tips!
Cutting out the sugar was huge for me. As a matter of fact I cut carbs out almost completely. Going on the keto diet has been the biggest single thing to get me functional again. When CFS took away by ability to exercise I ended up gaining a total of 75 lbs. Ended up with full on metabolic syndrome. From a very fit 50 year old to high blood pressure, high blood lipids, non alcoholic fatty liver and prediabetes within 2 years. Keto helped me get back to my pre CFS weight and returned my blood markers to normal. Great information in this video Miguel. I have just started your guided imagery techniques, thanks so much for what you do.
Wow! That is an amazing story you have, how are you doing these days? It sounds like you really made a comeback with your story! Love hearing this stuff.
Wow, internal vibration yup that is something very well known and no one ever talks about.I am just glad you mentioned it because I never really know if anyone else has the same thing since I was told to stop talking about it many years ago to try and make it go away and rewire but it's still there getting better but thank you for everything and all your support and knowledge very helpful. Sincerely yours, Ava
It's definitely real isn't it....I find high dose Vitamin B aka Thiamine controls this, a friend with Parkinson's also finds the same. Source: E O Nutrition YT channel.
I just came across your videos. I’ve been experiencing CFS symptoms for a very long time and no one understands. So glad I found your videos. Sounds like someone knows and can feel what we go through
Hi Poonam, I'm from India as well. Anulom vilom/Nadi shodhan pranayama with Jalandhar and Mula bandha and antar kumbhak really helped me within a week. It worked like magic. Please try. I recovered by 20% in 1 week after being bedridden for 2 years.
Just found you for the first time and became a new subscriber because I appreciate your concise, direct, attainable suggestions! Thank you and I look forward to learning more! ❤
Thanks Miguel. Simple things to implement for CFS recovery. Yes taking salt baths helps with the fatigue. Being on the screen and unnecessary browsing was a big take away for me from this video.
Keeping a fan running helps me, having the room dark and cooler helps. Going to bed around 10:30 helps, it seems like if I go to sleep at 11:00 or after I don't get much sleep. I wouldn't suggest using ear pods or having anything near your head. Turn off all wifi and get rid of it completely if possible. My husband has a cell phone but we have it at least 2 walls away from the bedroom. I still struggle some nights. Hard to tell the rhyme or reason sometimes.
Good list of items. Respectfully would like to say: very cold showers I believe do the opposite. Raise norepinephrine and dopamine aka wake you up. Cool showers defn are where it's at. I could be wrong but that's just what I had learned/heard.
I always tell people to start a bit warmer first, and then move to cold water. It was too cold at first that it could be a bit shocking to the nervous system, but if you work up to it after 3 to 5 showers, then it will add a relaxing effect after! But definitely start a bit warmer
Good stuff, Miguel. Thanks. How much Epsom salts in the bath? I had tried this before but didn't seem to get anything out of it. BUT, that was while i was still in my push, push, push stage. Anyway, I am going to try and implement all 7 of these hacks.
I put about 3-4 cups when I do an epsom salt bath, so quite a bit! I'd give it another try now that you're better. It's definitely something you don't want to push yourself to do, but what you could do is have someone set it up for you so all you have to do is hop in!
I had a nice normal life. In a year time everything tumbled down..a cfs crash with also delerium. How is it possible. My life now is stuck in figjht flight disaster. Weird head sensations and fear feelings,.also stomach issues.
SAUNA + SMELLING VICKS helps. I'm a Registered Nurse who has had fatigue since having covid in July 2021. I can't breathe out of my nose right now and my sleep apnea has gotten worse. I am unable to get good sleep. JUST switched my shitty hmm insurance to PPO and going to find the right doctors who can help me. Healthcare in America isn't the best esp since it's run by insurance companies who dictate the care for patients. It is our duty as patients to do as much research as we can to try to find the right doctors. It sucks for people who are stuck in jobs where it is stressful-which further affects their autonomic nervous system. Thanks for your vids. Hope ppl can stay hopeful and find the help they need.
I realised having covid caused a trauma to my nervous system, hence long covid ! I’m learning to switch to parasympathetic, remove the trauma of having covid, I’m seeing a lot of people finally starting to make videos about how covid triggered the nervous system to sympathetic, BUT you have the power to work on youre nervous system and get it back to parasympathetic
Absolutely! From the research I've been doing and what clinics have been finding out is that long covid can trigger CFS aka a nervous system disorder. So the principles and frameworks I teach can be applied to a case of long covid ***AS LONG AS*** there aren't any other underlying factors that explain what's going on (micro clotting, anything showing up on tests, etc)
@@cfsrecovery I actually remember in one of youre videos, you Mentioned most people have all these sterrors and worries leading up to getting a virus, the virus is kind of like the thing that pushes you over the tipping point
Miguel can you please help me, I got really triggerd by this micro clotting you said, I don’t understand what you mean, I’ve done all tests and my doctor say I’m fine, but now I feel like maybe because I had covid I’m forever damaged with micro clotting, can you please help me understand
@@ezza1236 now you’re overthinking it. You just said your doctor said all the tests came back normal so there’s no need to worry about microclotting. Like I said, nothing showed up on the tests right? If not then why worry? You literally have proof there’s nothing wrong there
I never thought of doing something like that! Sounds pretty cool though, if you couple that with brain retraining for chronic pain, I’m sure it would work wonders
One really effective thing I use for sleep is acupressure mat. I lay down on my back and within maybe 10 minute I start to drift away. When I feel really sleepy I just pull it away, turn on to my stomach and fall asleep.
I've been vegan for 2 years but I'm not trying really hard to keep it whole food. I'm trying to avoid the vegan junk food. I tend to stress eat and lots of stress going on. I have more health issues going on so trying really hard.
I kept the night mode on my phone all the time and then at night I set my iPhone up to have a filter that is red. So there is virtually no blue light coming from it. I don’t remember how to get it on there since I did it years ago but I found how to do it on UA-cam. You set it up in the settings so when you triple click the side button the option comes up to put the red filter on. Also for people that don’t have an iPhone there is a free filter called twilight. I believe you can get it for computers too. But again you can set the red intensity to really red or just mild but I have my kids do it mild in the day, just a tint and then on the rare occasion they are on their phone in the evening we put it all the way to red. Also on your tv put it to the warmest setting. On mine it’s the movie mode then I went into advanced settings and put it in the warmest tone. You will still get blue light from the TV but it will be a lot less straining. Then in our house I only use incandescent light which are closer to the sunlight spectrum and easier on the brain and eyes much less stimulating. I also use Edison bulbs in my living room that are Amber colored, and not the LED ones that flicker that needs to be incandescent. Then about the last hour of watching TV in the evening I put on a red near infrared light that I also use in the morning to expose myself to near infrared light, but turn off the other lights. Just turning on the Infared light and putting that red light in your environment kind of cancels out some of the blue light from the TV. I have four of them clamped on our TV stand, the 250 watt ones. In the morning they are tilted toward me when I want my light exposure, in the evening I turn on one until the upward towards the TV so it’s not blinding us but we are getting that red light in our environment. Anyways I thought I would share all of the tips and tricks I have learned about light exposure over the years. Also getting that natural sunlight first thing in the morning and the sunset light in the evening would be best case scenario, but since that’s not always an option I use my infrared lights to get exposure from the red light first thing in the morning and on the evening, it helps decide your circadian rhythm and sleep better. Sorry so long but it took me years to gain all these hacks so I thought I’d share for anyone who would want to use this information!
@@cooki47amazon! Yeah, you basically can’t find them in any store, I had regular incandescent bulbs for daytime, and then I got the old-fashioned Edison bulbs for evening time that are more Amber colored, you just have to make sure that they’re actually the incandescent ones and not LED they look virtually the same.
Yup. Even a short, 30-second cold shower can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system and help calm down your body, making it a simple and effective way to promote relaxation and reduce chronic neurological symptoms. I wouldn't even do two minutes of it, 30 seconds is more than enough!
No. You want to warm naturally. IOW don’t hit warm water after going cold for a couple. Do your warm cleaning as usual but end with at least 2+ minute cold water rinse. Do not warm up near a heater or rub with warm towels. Just pat dry and warm slowly. I’ve still felt cold hours after a good long cold dunking. That’s a good one.
Pasta and bread is turned into sugar in the body from what I've read. A huge sandwich can raise the blood sugar levels more than pure sugar actually. :) I had to learn to keep my blond sugar even in my healing process. And I LOVE sleeping with an eye mask. I sleep so much better with that! :) my body can't do cold now though, it's too much atm. :)
Hey... I really like your videos. 😊 Thank you so much for them. But I have a question Do you follow a routine every day to find out how long, how much and what activitys you can do.?
I have done this!! I’m going to start doing this again thanks for reminding me!!! Anyway, you can send me like brain training videos. I would really appreciate that.
Hmm I may have to look in to an eye mask, I used to sleep in a very dark room but now I'm in a single room cabin with my mature age dog and he gets anxious and incredibly restless if he doesn't have a night light on.
That's ok, that cool shower and epsom salt bath wouldn't apply to you then! At my worst, I could only take a shower every 2-3 weeks as well..it's something I looked forward to and even counted down the days to. Just being in that hot/warm shower was a place I didn't feel any pain for that few minutes. But of course my body would be drained afterwards. So I definitely had to work my way up to doing daily showers!
I was there for a couple of years, I did the cold showers when I felt I could manage them, just the 30 seconds at the end. I have carers help me with a bath once a week now, so I just literally hose down for 45 seconds at the end in cold. Maybe it's worth a try with whatever you can manage? For me, I find every little bit counts, whatever I can manage seems to eventually help a little wee bit.
@@cfsrecovery ❤️🙏😔ohh that gives so so much hope!! IT often seems i am the only Person Who is so badly ill...pfff i am bedridden over 5 yesrs now and live alone . IT is so so hard
@@EndersWorlds 👍🙌🙏Thank you so so much for your answer.!!! IT feels good to be not alone with that... It ist so so hard for me to be so ill for so many years and to live alone. IT is barely possible anymore
@@kirstensuhr7094 it is really hard! And I think much harder to implement all the little things that help too. You're not alone though :) keep doing whatever you can to do the things that channels like this suggest, (and Raelan Agle's and dan neuffers), I really believe they do help- even if it's to stop us getting any worse and improve even 1 little thing it's worth it. And science is coming along really well now! Lots of much better research is happening, good quality stuff with more money, it won't be too long now before they find out something that could help to support us medication wise, and perhaps that will help people who are struggling to put into place the thing's we need to do for recovery-you know just give us enough of a boost or support to be able to make more changes. I firmly believe that things are going to get better. Good luck to you too. Sending you lots of good thoughts. We can do this!!

Would it work as well having a cold 2 minutes at the start of a shower. In winter when the house is cold it doesn't sound good to end a shower cold

For me, I find every little bit counts, whatever I can manage seems to eventually help a little wee bit.
@@cfsrecovery ❤️🙏😔ohh that gives so so much hope!! IT often seems i am the only Person Who is so badly ill...pfff i am bedridden over 5 yesrs now and live alone . IT is so so hard
@@EndersWorlds 👍🙌🙏Thank you so so much for your answer.!!! IT feels good to be not alone with that... It ist so so hard for me to be so ill for so many years and to live alone. IT is barely possible anymore
@@kirstensuhr7094 it is really hard! And I think much harder to implement all the little things that help too. You're not alone though :) keep doing whatever you can to do the things that channels like this suggest, (and Raelan Agle's and dan neuffers), I really believe they do help- even if it's to stop us getting any worse and improve even 1 little thing it's worth it. And science is coming along really well now! Lots of much better research is happening, good quality stuff with more money, it won't be too long now before they find out something that could help to support us medication wise, and perhaps that will help people who are struggling to put into place the thing's we need to do for recovery-you know just give us enough of a boost or support to be able to make more changes. I firmly believe that things are going to get better. Good luck to you too. Sending you lots of good thoughts. We can do this!!
Thanks for the helpful ideas!
Glad it was helpful!
