12 Things That STOP a Good Night's Sleep

[@julieoelker1865]

I am 61. I have followed your advice for years, but my sleep was severely compromised due to stress, a lot of coffee (10 cups a day, ouch) and playing on my phone at night. Two months ago, I had a seizure. It turns out I have a meningioma brain tumor. I am having surgery in 2024 to remove it. The tumor has likely been there for years, but the stress and lack of sleep have made my situation worse. Do everything on this list.

[@NadiaSeesIt]

Oh my goodness. I hope your surgery goes well and you fully recover!

[@bunny18774]

plz eat early

[@deassfgh7807]

​​@@bunny18774 my body thrives on eating before bed. Everyone's different. It would be a good idea to test it out. It's best for me if I eat around 5pm and go to bed at 9. I also eat something high in protein before bed so my sugars don't drop during the night and I think it's important for diabetics so thier sugars don't drop. Your sleeping 8 hours with out food

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

Absolutely. His earlier videos on all kinds of sleep issues help me a great deal.

[@themaldonados]

I was doing all that. We even have an organic mattress and pillow. Then I decided to try a grounding pillowcase. Problem solved. Amazing! We used to toss around in bed, get interrupted sleep from snoring or going to the bathroom. Not anymore! We are surrounded by electronic devices, the grounding pillowcase was our solution. Try it.

[@julie6297]

Hello, where did you buy the grounding pillowcase?🙏

[@lynny5510]

I don't understand why people want to create this list to shorten what Dr. Berg is saying. He is giving us a lesson in WHY something is happening. Not just a solution. That is what a main stream medical doctor does. Just give you prescription but never tell you why something is happening and how to avoid it in the future. There are many different reasons for any given thing and to know the different reasons and all the whys behind something is very informative and helpful in my opinion. Most people are always looking for "catch phrases" "sound bites" and short cuts. I really appreciate the entire lesson. Thank you Dr. Berg for the time you put into these videos to educate people like me who do want to know the whole story.

[@Highheels4ever]

I am glad that Dr. Berg is explaining the causes of not sleeping. This has been my life story, having insomnia. It is very difficult for me to fall sleep. Most of the time, I am awake all night, and when I say all night is true, it is the entire night. have melatonin but I am reluctant to take it. My insomnia is bad, awful. . I refuse to take any sleeping pills, and I will not. Thank you Dr. Berg for bringing up this very important subject, it is appreciated.

[@XSilvenX]

I had the same problem, which actually came back recently after getting burned out from a year of overworking. It would take me 2-4 hours to fall asleep, and even when I would, the quality was terrible and I never felt fully rested. Going through my busy day with a fraction of my cognitive function in zombie mode was absolute hell. For me it started from a panic attack brought on by a failed attempt at doing keto. The water loss caused electrolyte imbalance, which caused me to have a panic attack over something stupid which sent me to the ER. When I got back I realized I lost the ability to fall asleep, which drove more panic, which eventually developed into severe sleep anxiety. It got to the point where just the thought of sleep triggered fight-or-flight, so anytime I'd go to bed, my heart would start racing due to cognitive association, and I wouldn't be able to properly relax to enter sleep. It was torture. I was eventually able to slowly fix it with no meds by carefully watching my sugar intake, doing a lot of cognitive behavioral therapy, and supplementing a TON of magnesium (upwards of 1000mg /day) due to the increased anxiety and stress. Remember a NORMAL person can get by on a measly 400mg of magnesium a day (some experts like Dr. Carolyn Dean or Morley Robbins would argue that the RDA isn't optimal btw), but when you're going through extreme stress, you need more! MagSRT or Magnesium Breakthrough are excellent supplements I'd personally recommend. Magnesium lotion is good too. Not to mention adding mag-rich foods to your diet. The number one thing I learned on the cognitive side was to remember to NOT STRESS about not sleeping. Do your best to truly internalize this. Don't get angry, panicky, or upset, because it only makes it worse. Train your mind to remain calm and not judge (this is where practicing meditation helps tremendously). On my worst days I'd sit there 3-4 hours, remaining calm. Just close your eyes and let your body do what it needs to do, because the more you "chase" sleep, the more elusive it becomes. You'll find that you tend to "cross over" into sleep when you're thinking of something in your head or are distracted. If you're FOCUSED on sleep it becomes counterintuitive because to your brain you're "focusing" and it will try to keep you up. It's also vital to remember that just laying in bed with your eyes closed and resting (even when awake) does some good, so if you're exhausted, you can take comfort in knowing that just laying there will help, although obviously it's no replacement for actual sleep.

[@kiwidubz]

I know diet is a big part, but just out of curiosity, do you live in a city and/or near Wi-Fi/cellphone towers?

[@ladyofhay]

Other factors might be consuming something sweet at night, if suffering from pre-diabetes, or having some gas trapped inside, that's my case!

[@DUBLL100]

@@XSilvenXI was the exact same as you ! I had insomnia 4 years ago due to over training and over working! Every time I got into bed my heart would pound! It went on for about 3 years and last year for some reason it just went! I dropped as much exercise to just 3-4 sessions a week and a lot of magnesium to! Lowish carb but enough from fruit and honey to fuel my workouts and stress! People will tell you you don’t need carbs when you’re stressed but you do..

I would be very grateful if you could do a video reviewing the various devices that are mouth pieces which claim to be able to keep the airway open. If you can’t name specific devices, that’s understandable, but at least cover the topic of whether (or not) these type of devices CAN work and, if so, the kind of features to look for.
