My trick for falling asleep fast: I make it a "mind game" that I look forward to. I close my eyes and start *slowly* going through a list of something fun. For example: If I had to live in a different state for each month of the coming year, where would I choose? So, I slowly think January - Florida, February - Hawaii, etc. I can usually make it to like April! The next night I might do which country would I live in each month? I've also done, questions like if I had to eat at a different local restaurant every day for a month where would I choose? Then I slowly come up with 30 different local places. Or lately I've been doing: If I won the lottery but had to spend the money without people being able to tell, what would I buy? I go through in my mind things that I would get - upgrade to a new car, fix up our pool, get manicures 2x/week. It's just an easy way to stop my mind from listing out my to do list or worrying about work deadlines/meetings and I get to kind of "daydream" before I go to sleep!
Since summer vacations began I’ve been struggling with sleeping , just yesterday I tried to make my mind go blank but at the very least feel peaceful , in spite of that I couldn't make my mind go blank , I typically take about one hour to fall asleep , but due to the fact I was eager for the first day of school I took shockingly long to fall asleep , I had to go to my parents' bedroom and my mom with all free will went to my bed so I was able to sleep comfortably . And oh my word was it comfy , my dad calmly said to rest and go to sleep . It worked just like fine wine . He instantly cleared my thoughts . I just think too much while I sleep . I frequently check on the clock , but after hearing your advice, I’ll try to make it work out. I'm appreciative of your advice ! I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my butt to sleep . Upon seeing your channel I instantly clicked on it . This is quote unquote very helpful!
I can’t fall asleep sometimes for 7 hours…sometimes I am up for 36 hours straight and can’t sleep. I can’t stand being cold. I have to sleep with a hat and socks on. I never nap either. I try the sleep music.
I just finished an 8-week insomnia program run by Dr. Joshua Cho, who is the director of the UCLA Insomnia Clinic, and it completely cured my chronic insomnia. He holds the program over Zoom, so you may be able to attend regardless of your location. Ask your doctor if you can get a referral. Medical insurance should cover it. Wishing you well.
@@Wklstohi, I read your post about having chronic insomnia and I too, have chronic insomnia. It’s horrible and I have tried so many different medications/supplements (not a sleep pill prescription) and I still can’t find relief. May I ask you what do you take or help you a little bit to get some sleep? I am struggling, so bad and I too subscribed to the sleep doctor here and saw your post here. Any tips/help any supplements that have helped you even a little bit. Thank you so much in advance. 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tips Dr. B! I follow many of these! But also, I’m a mom to 2 young kids and haven’t felt ‘rested’ for years lol 🥲 I think much of the time, us adults, (especially us adults with small kids), feel mentally depleted much of the time; (which then affects how rested we feel in the mornings regardless of sleep quantity/quality). It’s like I’m already tired for the day, the second I wake up most days 😞 And I don’t think I’ve talked to one adult who isn’t tired *most* of the time.lol Such is adult-life I guess! 🥲🥱
Trick to sleep in 3 minutes ....-- NOTE - practice it for some days regularly you will become perfect in this. Trick --~~. Right karwat mein count till thirty ..(10) ..

DIMAAG SHANT KARO ........ this is best trick slowly with the time you will be perfect.. and kitna bhii time tum apnee aap 2-3 minutes maximum mein sooooooo jaogee Now
Hey doctor B, I just took the quiz and it says I am a dolphin Chronotype, what does this mean. I struggle falling asleep at times and am concerned for myself, I need you man!!!
If i’m on a regular rythm i fall asleep withing like 30 seconds every day. Could be even less because when i close my eyes i don’t even register being there with my eyes closed for almost any time
Im 16 and I used to have insomia. You solved it! I now always sleep well. I wake up around 6-6:30 and I sleep 7-8 hours every night. I feel good !@@TheSleepDoctor
Hey Doc. I'm pretty good at sleeping with my Zolpidem. But for some reason my Dr won't give me a refill so I'm gonna be forced into cold turkey. Any advice?
@debbiechadwick861 I empathize. I’ve had difficulty falling asleep for years. My doctor reluctantly renewed my Zolpidem prescription after I dozed momentarily @ 60 mph on the drive to work. Cold turkey was difficult for me. Best wishes.
@@TheSleepDoctor Thanks. But Trazadone has been suppliment to my Zolpidem. Trazadone by itself doesn't help me sleep. It's going to be a serious detox process. Feels like I mag never sleep again. Sigh...
I have tried everything , almost everything that the Dr s have recommended. Nothing works. If I do asleep which is rare when I have a flu. Otherwise ah ah. 10 yrs of sleep apnea and counting. 😢
More mind game than actual chill on, air condotioner works 2x white noise and cool room. Just getting off of benzos after 12 years of taking them to sleep at night. With the world going crazy, its no wonder people can't sleep ! We are living in critical times, read your bible, satan is behind this crazy world. Don't watch all the bad news, you can't do anything about it anyways. The creator has it all under control, yes he is still up there watching over his creations, his son didn't die for nothing ! He does have some great tips though.

👌 I give myself pleasant mental exercises like those too, and I find it really works.

Melatonin or CBD oil. Get off meds🙄
You should speak with your doctor and try to understand what are some potential better alternatives. In many clinics they move to Trazodone.
@@TheSleepDoctor Thanks. But Trazadone has been suppliment to my Zolpidem. Trazadone by itself doesn't help me sleep. It's going to be a serious detox process. Feels like I mag never sleep again. Sigh...
I’m a kid …
Same tbh….

Why frozen water by hips?
to lower your body temperature.
