I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to alcohol. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
@@Aiebd829 Yes! 5 months, 2 days! Never going back! Thanks for checking! Being sober is the only way to go to be the best version of myself I can. Blessings to all!
I’ve been waking up every night at 3 and can’t go back to sleep this all started when I binge drink on weekend alcohol causes me so many problems physically mentally and emotionally I’ve quitter before and life was gd now I’ve decided never again is not worth it one night of fun for 3 4 days of depression
It's like that old saying, something about how drinking just borrows fun from tomorrow for today. It's definitely not worth it. And in the end, the more you drink the less fun normal life becomes. It's a vicious cycle. That's why I tell younger people to just "never drink", it's not worth finding out if you'll be a weekend binge drinker, a bum living in the streets or someone losing their wife and kids in a divorce from your drinking later in life. There's nothing but risks you're potentially setting yourself up for. What's the potential benefit? That you manage to be a very light social drinker, only having one or two maybe three drinks tops at celebrations and get togethers? THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST STAY SOBER at that point lol, because one to three drinks over hours hardly does anything anyway. If anything it might just increase your chances of saying something you regret later.
Matt Walker's audible book "Why We Sleep" is well worth a listen for anyone wanting to dive deeper into all facets of sleep and its impacts. The studies on the effects of alcohol on unborn fetus' was particularly interesting. Just one drink from Mum was enough to impact the REM/NREM sleep of babies with growing evidence to link frequent ingestion to the disruption in the child's development. Going through the journey of reducing (and trying to eliminate) alcohol intake myself and just after a night or two of not drinking the quality of sleep is really noticed. Dreams are way more vivid, feel rested in the morning, feel less anxious. Very thankful that folk like Huberman and Matt Walker are sharing this research so publicly and raising awareness.
The true problem for me is couple of days after drinking. The night I drink I sleep very well (at least I think so), but then in the following days I literally nap in the night and am not able to get a good sleep.
I thought REM sleep was when people dream, which is weird because alcoholism has made my dreams completely insane. Weird, vivid events just happen every single night, when I used to dream rarely. I have frequent nightmares now, and I also fiend for liquor/hide my liquor in my dreams. It truly takes over the human psyche at the most primal level.
Love the podcast and listen weekly on Apple Music. Could you do a series on alcohol and its effects on muscle recovery, hormones, brain and memory? A lot of people in the world drink every week if not everyday. Thanks!
Did you? You can do it bud, I promise. As someone who quit IV heroin and has been an on and off hard drinker over the years, I promise you can do it. And you'll be better for it.
Great information that needs to be shared. I've started drinking heavier in the last year or so and I've definitely noticed a struggle in getting a good night's sleep. I'll definitely be reducing/stopping my regular drinking for my own mental sake. Great podcast
Alcohol will negatively effect my sleep quality even for after 1 week of the last intake of a drink in combination of my troubled sleeping patterns during the winter months. I got so sensitive to this throughout the years and it takes about 2 weeks withdrawal to recover from this effect
I agree with your statement....however would you agree that alcohol can effect emotion and anxiety levels? As a result emotional oversensivity from alcohol may be contributing to the entire insomnia stew. It may not be a total solve but abstinence can help some people reduce that anxiety + sensitivity.
Just in case you are looking at your comments, I want to say thank you and I love listening to your podcasts although this is the first time I express it. Guess I treat a lot of UA-cam videos like radio. Heartfelt thanks!
I feel like I'm paying a price for drinking even one beer a day. Don't recall having disrupted sleep from alcohol in the past but at age 43 I have noticeably more trouble staying asleep.
I am 68yo drank since 17. mostly beer everyday but Vodka and Tequila at times as well. I was a white collar functioning alcoholic. I am at Day 60 zero alcohol today :) I am finally sleeping through the night now. has been a Rollercoaster- Fatigue Brain Fog No Appetite Terrible Insomnia ( getting up 4-5 x's a nite every night ). I guess my wanting to quit drinking was so much stronger than my wanting to keep drinking. No AA No Counseling. I could of bought myself a new Maserati for the amount of Money I've WASTED on alcohol over the years
I quit drinking. Been a month. Nightmares. Bad nightmares. Attacked my girlfriend twice now in my sleep. Second attack she got hurt. Through her off the bed. Havent seen her since. Need these nightmares to go away.
Don't worry just don't drink atleast it will take 4 days . Hanging over . My condition . Vomiting , sad without any reason. Coz I drink continuously 4 To 5 days . I enjoy one day. Now I drink twice in a year. always eat when you drink .
Well last night I had approx. 1 standard drink only before bed and had a dream my dad was trying to cut me with a box cutter. So, it affects dreams for sure. Found out my white blood cell count is 2.7 K/uL after blood draw lab examination. Doc typed that is a low amount. Not so low that I can't wait 3 months to do a re-check. My liver function is normal she typed but I read even just occasional above moderate alcohol consumption lowers WBC count so lol UGH I'm quitting alcohol for 3 months well for that long anyways.🤣😂💩👀😱
Hi, I have a question, how about certain herb tea before night that should help You with a sleep. Does they affect the qualitt of sleep in possitive way or not really?
Drinking Alcohol litterly keeps me up the whole night. Not sick, not drunk, just wired. Id get better sleep drinking a double shot espresso before bed then a couple of beers. Ive always been baffled how some people ket drousey or sleepy from drinking. Does anyone els have my brain????. Alcohol is insomnia juice
It depends on metabolization. If your body is able to fully metabolize alcohol before sleep, the better the sleep quality. You will have been sober hours before going to bed before this takes place. Matt Walker talks about coffee having a half-life of about 6 - 8 hours. But the quarter-life is around 12 - 14 hours. This varies person to person. However, biologically with alcohol, people will metabolize alcohol at wildly different rates. Tolerance, how much you've had to eat, and natural biology all play a part. So, in many ways, it may be impossible for the average person to gauge how alcohol will affect oneself.
Going to bed drunk is the worst youre basically passed out asleep and drunk as a skunk. Some people drink til they pass out. I got a friend who will drink a 24 pack in a day easy hel chug 3 beers back to back in under 1 minute.
No not at all, its a poor bandaid solution to a bigger deeper problem. There is a ton of information and studies floating around on the internet to help people learn about their sleep and why they might struggle with it, there are also proffessionals that can help you with it. Sure, if you have tried literally every natural or clinical remedy for insomnia/struggle to sleep, maybe you can have that conversation. But the reality is, statements like that are a cop out for people who dont really want to address the problem and would rather a quick fix.
I've noticed the same with Chilean red wine it knocks your socks off!... To add extra evidence ,an expert told me Chilean is the best red too.... it's some crazy juju for sure😄👍
@@johnman559 my ex boyfriend of 7years was from Santiago Chile'. He was very proud of Chilean red wine. We drank it once a month and yes it sneaks up on your body system and kicks butt
Mister Walker, alcohol both in its chemical nature and it's effects is way far away from sedatives, depressant sounds even better than anything that "sedates". But yeah, a bottle of red after a month of brake can potentially make a person both happy and sleepy.
Teetotaling (or Total Abstinence): Another reason why Donald J. Trump is a great father and a good example for young American males. Please stop drinking or you may end up like Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell, or Philip Seymour Hoffman; not worth it.

Same here. It's unreal how good the sleep is now after I quit alcohol!

do you drink every day ? how much do u drink
Hope you can get better brother, you’ll be okay one day again
you dream when youre on the verge on waking up, you dont dream during rem.
Strange, alcohol makes my dreams normal or non-existent. I literally only have insane dreams when I’m completely sober

I need to stop drinking. 😞

Hey I hope you’re doing better ryan
Alcohol will negatively effect my sleep quality even for after 1 week of the last intake of a drink in combination of my troubled sleeping patterns during the winter months.
I got so sensitive to this throughout the years and it takes about 2 weeks withdrawal to recover from this effect
Kindling!
That's what made me quit for good. Even just 1 drink makes me shake and have terrible withdrawls
Insomnia is FUELED by the desire for better sleep. Stop trying. It will keep you awake.
THAT matters more than any of these other factors.
This is true lol whenever I really plan for an early night I can never sleep 🤣
In retrospect that’s exactly true
I agree with your statement....however would you agree that alcohol can effect emotion and anxiety levels? As a result emotional oversensivity from alcohol may be contributing to the entire insomnia stew. It may not be a total solve but abstinence can help some people reduce that anxiety + sensitivity.

i wake up many time, i had many drinks before bed and i remember every time i wake up, i will never drink again,
These guys are just great. They both are in my top 5 favorite guest from the Joe Rogan Experience. Can’t get enough of their content!
Would you recommend anyone else with similar content?
I always wonder why people's sensitivity to sleep deprivation varies so much...?
This is what i get when alcohol is in my body like rn. I can't sleep like tf. It's 1:30 in the morning rn tf
I feel like I'm paying a price for drinking even one beer a day. Don't recall having disrupted sleep from alcohol in the past but at age 43 I have noticeably more trouble staying asleep.

Trying to give up alcohol. I have not slept more than 5 hours every night for a long time.
I don't feel it is helpful that scientists talk about alcohol as if it has agency, a will, an intent.
Because it does, why do you think it’s called “Spirits” ?
Would prescribed medication such as olanzipine teva 20mg affect sleep quality
Well last night I had approx. 1 standard drink only before bed and had a dream my dad was trying to cut me with a box cutter. So, it affects dreams for sure. Found out my white blood cell count is 2.7 K/uL after blood draw lab examination. Doc typed that is a low amount. Not so low that I can't wait 3 months to do a re-check.

Hi, I have a question, how about certain herb tea before night that should help You with a sleep. Does they affect the qualitt of sleep in possitive way or not really?
1 single beer affects my sleep even if I drink that beer at 1pm and go to bed at 11pm
Yup. Cracking a few cold ones at a bbq means a sleepless night and misserable following day. Never understood how it makes anyone sleepy
Drinking Alcohol litterly keeps me up the whole night. Not sick, not drunk, just wired. Id get better sleep drinking a double shot espresso before bed then a couple of beers. Ive always been baffled how some people ket drousey or sleepy from drinking. Does anyone els have my brain????. Alcohol is insomnia juice
I wake up to piss 2-4 times a night when I don't drink, if I drink I sleep for 8-9 hours straight. Still feel like I didn't sleep at all though.
Thank you so much!
A 50 percent decrease in Growth Hormone.
Yeah, that really caught my attention too !
Something noteworthy to add is that intermittent fasting increases HGH by 2000% !
I get punctured awakaning. I need to quit caffeine to during the day.
So I prefer day drinking personally bc I won’t be hungover the next day. But do you think day drinking will still effect my night time sleep quality?
yes it will effect your night time sleep
It depends on metabolization. If your body is able to fully metabolize alcohol before sleep, the better the sleep quality. You will have been sober hours before going to bed
before this takes place.
