[@awkwardcomfort6786]

Ironically, I am watching this at 6.30am in the morning! 🥴

[@mountaintruth1deeds533]

If I could sleep at all it would be fantastic. Vast majority do not understand severe insomnia.

[@AlesWorldofStocks]

Thank you for the simple steps Dr. Mike! I'm so happy that you're getting back into KZbin again, can't wait for more videos! Keep up the great work

[@KENTOSI]

I keep getting distracted by those biceps.

Hi Dr. First I'd like to say Happy New Year to you!! Due to my 40 yr circadian rythym sleep disorder (which has STILL not been properly diagnosed by any physician), and also includes a pain disorder (which was diagnosed as Fibromyalgia when I was 17, but I actually feel I have a hypermobility syndrome somewhat like Ehlers-Danlos), I have lost every dream and goal I have ever had, and attempted to pursue. My circadian rythym disorder and pain disorder have literally destroyed my life in every capacity. I am 51 years old and bc of my sleep and pain disorder,both of which began around age 12, I have never been married, have never had children, have never been able to create a successful career, cannot work a full time job, and cannot travel, or even plan any kind of social events. Both disorders that I live and suffer with are disabilities to me in every capacity, yet I have been unable to get disability and have also been unable to even get a proper diagnoses for either disorder. I can't believe so few ppl have watched or commented on your video, but maybe bc CRD's are rare?? I truly need your help!! All of my life I have hit a brick wall trying to get help for myself in the way of a getting properly diagnosed and treated for these things I suffer from which have destroyed my life. Have you heard of or cured ppl of Non24? I have created 2 videos here on KZbin explaining what I go through while living with what I call "undiagnosed Non24" and "undiagnosed EDS".I have tried every tactic ever suggested to fix this and nothing has ever worked. I would really like to speak with you personally about what I live with bc I genuinely want your opinion on what you feel is going on with me and how you feel I should go about fixing this..IF you feel there is even a cure for what I have. I truly hope we can connect so that I can fix this and then go on to helpi the thousands or millions of other ppl who live with stubborn circadian rythym disorders and chronic body pain. Im truly hoping that I hear back from you and that you can miraculously help me heal my CRD, once and for all!

Do you know that there are light receptors on your body as well? You should look into it. We live in an era which has taken us far away from the natural environment which was designed to support our rhythm best. And I never heard of it yet but since I had experience to spend a few month surrounded by nature I realise that one parameter that must also greatly affect our rhythms is the rhythm of all the sounds that are naturally found in the nature. It struck me when I came back to my '' modern western apartment '' the absence of background sounds throughout the day. After spending a while in the nature it is something that hit me very bad and since then I know that I can never replicate anything like the beautiful circadian symphony of the nature and that my body will obviously be experiencing a lacking regarding this aspect. Because there is really an ongoing rhythm throughout the day and a 24/7 set up for which animal is going to express iself at what time and according to the weather, the light... I think there is something big to discover in term of research in this domain!

[@DrMichaelVan]

Interesting!

[@block36079]

Also you should regulate your eating times, one way to do is that is by doing intermittent fasting.

[@shimaaljaichand9921]

Great informative video👍 I get about 1.5 hours of deep sleep from an 8 hour sleep cycle.

[@richardsumian4279]

Love these videos Dr. Mike, can't wait for the next part. What kind of light would you say is the best for everyday use in your home during the day? I heard full spectrum incandescent lights are optimal because they don't have a flicker that is bad for the nervous system and you I'm general. If true do you know a website or brand that is good?

[@WholeArmourMinistries]

This series earned the notification bell. Kinda hard when you've got a 9 month old but it's good information still. Looking forward to more of these.

[@DrMichaelVan]

Thanks! The next video of the series is due this week... Stay tuned!

[@bhagyashrigundecha3866]

[@movieclipz5034]

Been tracking my sleep for 2 months with Oura, I usually get 2hrs of REM and 5-20 minutes of DEEP. Thanks for the videos

[@DrMichaelVan]

Deep sleep on my oura is my biggest challenge as well

[@salzora]

Great series dr. Van. Great timing, since I just received my Oura ring to look deep into my sleep analytics.

[@abdulhaseeb5334]

My carcadian rhythm is disturbed from psst 6 years, I tired everything but nothing helps even if start to sleep at night can't have a deep sleep, narcolepsy I have I think.

[@lanybabii]

Thanks for this! I was concerned about getting enough deep sleep due to my fitbit readings as well. My hunch going in was that it had to do with coffee later in the day (I usually have a cup after dinner around 6/7) So, this just confirmed that for me. Also, screens near bed time are a thing as well. I always thought, well since I have no problem falling asleep, I must be fine, but my deep sleep is at about 10% -not terrible, but not optimal. I like the idea of blue cut glasses as a way to keep blue light from coming in even when we are using screens. They have the night settings on phones and computers now too which is good. Thanks for the info!

[@DrMichaelVan]

Stopping the afternoon coffee helped me a lot

Unfortunately, here in Michigan, sunlight is extremely limited. Especially in the winter months.

[@paml.6101]

Dr Van, I awaken very out of it and within the hour if feel exhausted and my eyes are bloodshot. I was on Lunesta for 10 years but have been off for 3 months. How can I fix my sleep. I feel awful everyday. Thanks

[@joanbaczek2575]

I just can’t fall asleep til 12 midnight no matter what if I lay down before that I can’t sleep at all!!! Walmart expects me at 4am. I constantly over sleep my loud 3am alarm. After 2 days I crash and pass out the next 3 days at 3pm and wide awake at 11pm then falling asleep at 1am uncontrollably then again over sleeping my 3am alarm. Then on my days off I’m accidentally sleeping til noon or 1pm. I’m a mess I can’t have a life. I feel crazy miserable and unable to stay on task even trying to clean my house or make dinner. What can I do? Is it me or is it Wal-Mart and their stupid division of shifts? I also developed a problem where if I sit down to watch a movie I’m passing out an hour in. Even at a theater!

[@DrMichaelVan]

Shift work is tough. I don't really have an ideal answer for you unfortunately

[@lucacolombarini5959]

What app would you suggest to track sleep without a smartwatch?

[@Србомбоница86]

Those glasses are cute he he,thanks for useful tips:)))

[@DrMichaelVan]

Glad you like them!

[@nancyjane888]

Would a special light for vit D help if sunshine not available?

[@DrMichaelVan]

[@90sBabyx]

[@DrMichaelVan]
