Doctor Mike is great. I remember about 3-4 years ago I took my mother to the emergency room. The doctor came in the room and he was exceptionally attentive and personable and really put us at ease. Everything turned out fine with my mom, the doctor made a couple lighthearted jokes and we all laughed and then we went home. I remember thinking I wish every doctor was like that. A couple years later I'm watching youtube and I'm thinking, "Why does this Doctor Mike guy look so familiar?" Then it hit me.

Add all of those and you have my bedtime routine. The brain and body are full of very activated and sensitive microcosms. To reduce chronic inflammation and pain, this helps as a regular day and night routine set for myself as well as for others.

[@emilymcmurphy1590]

I can tell a significant difference with my lungs in not having an appropriate humidity mark in the room. Lights, sounds, etc. can elicit, sustain and intensify headaches and migraines. If there isn't an appropriate temperature mark, I could be up making multiple clothing changes per night because I'm completely 100% sweating through my clothes, the sheets, pillow, etc. This can also funnel into impacting other areas of the body like the digestive system and having weird amounts and frequency of urination and movements during the night. The neuroscience behind sleep is absolutely fascinating.

Sleep to me is one of the top 3 things that are important to me

[@xxshystarxx]

Just coming back to this video with a little personal update: ever since this video came out, I started doing the "write 3 things you're grateful for", and I must say there's been a drastic change in my ability to sleep, as well as my anxiety and the way I think about things/my mentality. 1. I've been able to fall asleep! While I haven't officially been diagnosed with insomnia or anxiety, I have had trouble falling asleep most days for the past 2-3 years, always on and off, some weeks worse than others, some months worse than others. It's only been 2 weeks since this video came out, and I've noticed that I've been falling asleep faster EVERY SINGLE DAY compared to before. Main reason being I no longer worry or overthink about concerns on the daily (ie. I should have done something this way, or worrying about work, etc.). Rather, I appreciate things that HAVE happened in the day/week, and find satisfaction in those things. The negative worries and overthinking just fade away into the distance while I focus on the positive. 2. My mentality has become a lot more positive. At the beginning of writing, my lists were on little things like "grateful that I had time to Netflix" or "grateful that I had an egg tart today". But I've found that overtime (especially since we are in a pandemic and a lot of these lists get repetitive each day), I'm spending more time trying to come up with things that I am grateful for, that I haven't already written in the past few days. I've noticed I've started to write things like "I'm grateful for the internet", "I'm grateful that my main concern is to stay at home" and "I'm grateful that I still have the privilege of working from home/have a job". By writing these lists, the way I approach life has been a lot more positive, as I find myself recalling these things not just before bed, but throughout the day/week as well. Considering it's already has such impact on me in only 2 weeks, I wonder where I'll be in 6 months! It's such a simple thing, only takes 5 minutes before bed, I prefer handwriting it rather than typing it on my phone, as it seems to stay with me much more when I handwrite it. Thanks for the little tip Dr. Mike, maybe I'll do an update in 6 months :)

[@Kelwatts8950]

Ever had that feeling when you hated the sweaty sheets in summer, but when winter comes around and you can barely sleep because you somehow busted the heating system and it is literally freezing, you kind of miss the hot summer nights? You can take off as much as you want when sleeping in summer, but added blankets do nothing if they’re all pretty much frozen solid and your body isn’t going to heat them up any time soon in winter.

[@cylonred8902]

The first 20 years of my life - living in south-west Ohio with no AC at all. just open windows and on those hot humid nights of REALLY still air.... and you prayed for a gentle breeze. Worst of all was the neighbor had a night light and our (yes our - my 2 brothers and I in one bedroom ) so we had curtains. When really young there was one bed under a window and you hoped it was your week under that window since you got the breeze first. Eventually my dad got a small window fan and put the fan in the window on the other end of the house and only had the bedroom windows open... Yes - dad was an engineer but even that didn't do much. The summer thunder storm was great - felt cooler due to moving air but there was a lot less sleep. You hoped that there was a cold front after the thunderstorm because if there wasn't - the bed just got wetter due to the humidity. And my wife does not understand why I can't sleep while camping...

My only question is: what’s the point of a skincare routine if Bear is just gonna lick everything off later hahahahaha??

[@suibian9475]

😂😂😂😂

[@asuna5622]

The skin care thingy will be absorbed by your body, no need to worry about getting licked in a face and after that just wash your face and since the skin care already got absorbed, and everything will be fine

[@ahalty00]

why do you think it is no point. Look at Bear he is fluffy and shiny, thiss skin care have realy nice efect on him.

You can probably have a fan on for a bit before you sleep, or open a window for a little, which might also help make your room less stuffy, but not all night because then it'll be too cold to sleep comfortably.

AT B Trust me I’ve tried it all haha. I have to sleep right above the garage and all its concentrated heat rises into my room like I’m in an oven. At least I’m a bit warmer in the winter! I found the most effective thing to do is just go to bed with cold, wet hair and the window open. Then, my hair will dry as the room cools down and it all evens out. But of course that doesn’t always work out so perfectly.

I can beat that. My cocker spaniel once took objection to me ignoring her. She tried to batt my face with her paw to wake me up (ever so gently, poor girl).
