How to Sleep Deeply and Wake Up Refreshed (Must Watch!!) - Dr. Berg on Sleep Problems

[@chalktalkwithshari4173]

My father had a cardinal rule that no one in our family go to bed mad with each other. As I was a typical confrontational teenager, many a night he sat on the edge of my bed and we talked out our issues until we could “pinky” squeeze our fingers with a nod to our reconciliation. He was such a wise man and the best father.

I really love how Dr Berg builds up his videos, nails every detail of a subject without turning in circles and in the smallest possible time frame, compressing all his research from we don't know how much time and effort it took. So many other bad and boring videos on KZbin about the same subjects but mainly presented by narcissistic people or people that like to commercialize something for their own financial interests. Dr. Berg you're the best. I wish you all good karma in your life.

This video was uploaded 3 years ago and I happened to see this couple of days back. I have sleep problems and long walks especially helped me to sleep better. I am yet to start Keto. Thank you so much. As many have mentioned below, Dr.Berg must be nominated for Nobel Prize for health advice. Our Doctors in India don't talk about these things. As a matter of fact they get irritated if you ask them questions about the prescribed medication. Certain Ayurvedic Doctors do address the issues in detail and we Indians generally ignore them. Love from India.

I was surprised that you did not mention Alcohol since it lowers your sleeping quality drastically... people with difficulty falling asleep or with anxiety think that alcohol helps them because they knock them out but they fall to deep into sleep while the body processes and gets rid of the alcohol preventing the body to focus on recovering and resting and then you come out of that profound sleep and wake up very easily and your heart rate comes back up quickly... anyway, I experienced this problem and when doctors explained this to me it really changed my sleeping habits and the quality of my sleep.

[@jacewalton6677]

Ah a why we sleep reader. Nice

[@ShowbusinessKennel]

I do the BEST deep breathing exercises that has helped me sleep no matter what! I lay in bed and try to relax as I breath in through the nose for 4 seconds, hold my breath for 7 seconds and slowly breath out through the mouth for 8 seconds. I do this 3-4 times and go to sleep faster then ever! Keep your bedroom dark, cold and no distractions in it like tv etc. Keep a journal and write down everything that bother you and what you can do about it, but do it like 1 hr before bed, not when you are laying there! Just a few tips that worked wonders for me.

[@aayushsharma409]

Journaling certainly helps...i have not had a successful sleep...but definitelt it slows down the mind and sets your body in relaxation.

[@deberebor]

That's a good technique. The secret behind it is that while holding the breath, the carbon dioxide level increases a little and it is carbon dioxide that is used to sherpa oxygen into the cells (it's why they make you breathe into a paper bag when you hyperventilate). The result is that the need to breathe rapidly decreases very fast and the calming starts. In general, we are all breathing a little too much, if that makes sense. Anyway, it's a great technique and there's a book out on it, called the Oxygen Advantage.

[@brawlking2230]

Thank you! That is similar to what I do.

[@deberebor]

@des 56 If someone is hyperventilating, they should breathe in a bag til it calms. This raises re-balances carbon dioxide with oxygen levels. But the 4-7-8 is doing the same thing at a slower pace (in other words, if hyperventilating, take the faster option with a bag! but you could do the 4-7-8 too if the situation isn't too severe.) The author of that book recommends several similar exercises, some for while you are walking or running. Personally, I have learned to pause for two or three seconds after normal exhales, just any ol' time, in order to keep things balanced, and to resist breathing through the mouth, even when out walking. It really does give a nice calm. And, it strengthens the hemoglobin, just like doing high altitude training! A very interesting subject, indeed.

[@machia0705]

Navy pilots when hitting their bunks do this: Take deep breaths and constantly repeat; “Stop thinking, stop thinking, stop thinking.....” It works. Next thing you know it’s the morning.

[@marcin1699]

Great suggestions, two comments: - eating anything less than 3h before going to sleep can disrupt sleep pattern (regardless of the fat); just don't eat before bed - blue light from any visual device (tv, smartphone etc.) will disrupt melatonin production (since it's the same temperature as the morning sunlight wavelengths); read instead or at least use nightshift type of filters that cut out the blue light

[@carlchilders9538]

So to summarize, avoid tea, coffee and chocolate, eat lots of salad, exercise in moderation during the late afternoon, take a relaxing walk before bed, avoid the news or any potential stress at bed time, go to bed around 10:30 pm making sure the room is very dark, quiet with no electronics near your head. Do some slow, relaxing breathing when you get in bed and turn onto your right side when you feel sleep coming on. All the above certainly contribute to proper sleep but there are a couple of pieces missing. It may seem obvious but the right mattress is huge in good sleep. Many Americans sleep on mattresses that are either too soft, too hard or worn out. Finding the perfect combination of soft yet supportive is difficult but worth the effort. You have to feel heavenly comfortable when getting into bed. Room temperature is also important. It may seem obvious that you don't want to be too warm and uncomfortable but finding just the right temperature, the sweet spot, adds to the comfort. For me, it's around 72 degrees in the bedroom. In the winter, when the bedroom cools even more and I can pile on layers, I sleep even better. Finally, as mentioned in the video, breathing is huge but it should be more than just slow breathing with five-second in and exhalations. Try some deep breathing through the diaphragm where the stomach area rises and lowers. Take a long, deep breath through the diaphragm raising the stomach area as far as possible, which allows for better oxygen absorption. Then slowly exhale with the lips puckered to create an exhale that is just as long as the inhale. Two or three of these deep breaths will get you relaxed and provide the oxygen for a relaxing sleep. Sweet dreams.

Yes I can’t recommend an evening walk enough. Sets me right up for evening meditation 🧘🏻‍♂️ I’m recovering from a torn rotator cuff that has now caused a frozen shoulder. The pain was excruciating for the first month or so & now it’s the stiffness and tingling nerve pain in the fingers that keeps waking me up. Now to try and stop using strong opiode pain killers. These videos are a godsend ❤️🙏 Unfortunately the frozen shoulder is on the right side. I recommend a count of 7 on the inhalation and 11 (or more) on the exhalation to calm the parasympathetic nervous system down.

Another thing missing from this video is light. I live up high in a city and the amount of light that comes in my window all night is incredible! A month ago I finally doubled my blackout curtain and made sure it was tight against the walls and ceiling and now my room is very dark. I sleep MUCH better!!! That one thing made a huge difference, although I agree with a few other things as well. Going to bed 30 minutes early and reading, and not eating carbs or if possible anything at all 3-4 hours before going to bed helps a lot as well.

I was consuming to much veggies without the ability to digest all that fiber (severe bloating and cramps in colon). I solved this by discontinuing eating the veggies raw and started juicing them - this removes the pulp and fiber (bulk), but drinking the juice provides most of the nutrients. Add water with the veggies in a blender and blend into a shake, then drain the puree through a brewed coffee pot basket with filter (this way I could use the blender without having to purchase a juicer separately). Add some beet root powder and wheat grass juice powder to the veggie juice and enjoy :) I was surprised at how much BULK was left over in the filter after this process - and thought it's no wonder some people can't handle all that bulk/fiber (for sure a case where we can get too much of a good thing if our digestive system isn't yet able to handle it)!

Thanks Doc✋🏻Circadian rythym was interesting, explains a lot. Would like to sleep longer than 5 hours though 🤦🏼‍♀️

I had insomnia for several years and I cut down on caffeine - it didn't help but once I cut sugar I started sleeping better. Hope my lesson will help others. He is also right about fasting. It helps relieve inflamation and pain. I did it many times myself.

That’s sounds like a good idea 👌

I was searching a solution to all of my sleep-related problems, I watched a lot YT videos,read articles, etc. But, this one video is more than enough to destroy all of the information i gained about sleep.( In last 2 years)

[@moonram9639]

This video has the perfect amount of time and information as well... Really appreciate your dedication!! Huge fan of your work 👍👍

[@amberklein1560]

Mentally listing things you're grateful for calms the whole body, and can put you back to sleep if you wake up in the middle of the night.

[@abuyasser1173]

It works !! My wife complained about sleep and I suggested her we watch this video to understand how to get peaceful sleep. Before the video ended, she was already in sleep.🤣🤣🤣

Best medical adviser I’ve ever come across. What he teaches works! Thanks much, Dr. Berg. 👏🏼

[@josephrussell1959]

What if you’re waking up thirsty around the same time every night?? Thanks for the content.

[@mohali4338]

This is one of the best videos about sleep issues that I have found. Very interesting

My adrenals (tops of the kidneys) bothered me with light pain and spasms for 7 years. (I used to party and drink a lot.) I was diagnosed with fatty liver last year. I started taking turmeric to clean out my liver. 2 months later, my fatty liver was gone. AND my adrenals stopped hurting!!! Turmeric can clean a lot of things up!!! I also sleep better now. Try taking turmeric for a week, I feel better just after 3 days of taking half a teaspoon a day.
