[@DrakeBrunette]

You're supposed to go to bed around the same time AND wake up at the same time every morning. Regardless of how many hours you actually slept. If you do that for a long enough period then your body eventually starts to adjust for the better. I used to average only 3-4 hours when it was really bad but now I'm closer to 6-7 hours. I hope one day I can fix it and get 8 more regularly. But it is what it is.

Imagine you're dating someone new and you had to show them this video to explain why you sleep totally naked except for thick socks and winter gloves

[@alessiomarin1218]

I have known for years that sleeping naked helped me sleep better. Unfortunately, my ex used to make me sleep with at least underpants on because she thought it was "weird" to sleep together naked... despite the fact that we literally fucked right before going to sleep. I wanted to sleep naked during my teens but I was bad at getting up in the morning so my parents would wake me up by ripping the covers off and throwing them beside my bed so I couldn't curl up and be warm anymore. I was terrified of them doing that and exposing not only my naked body but also the morningwood every healthy teenager occasionally gets. Oh, well. I'm an adult now and sleep fully naked haha.

[@dennisjordan5917]

If your sleeping in the same bed as someone else why would you need socks and gloves? If you can’t sleep just bang out a quickie and pass out. As a side note to the second commenter, if I had just had sex with someone and they then asked me not to sleep naked I would laugh at them and then go to sleep without putting on clothes. Allowing that sort of behavior is worse than the behavior itself.

I’ve never had problems sleeping my whole life, I’m in my early 30’s now and my wife left me and it launched me into insomnia madness. I have too many memories with her, and these past 5 days have been 4 hours/5 hours/4 hours/6 hours/ now today 4 hours again. I’m extremely exhausted. I’m kind of falling into the mindset of “I’m scared I’m not gonna get a good nights sleep ever again” and it’s giving me mad anxiety, hopefully tonight will be the night.

[@deepikavijakumar9553]

The best cure for insomnia according to me is to just stop worrying about your sleep. I used to follow all the suggestions mentioned in this video, and it never helped my insomnia, because I used to constantly worry about my insomnia and TRY to sleep. Instead I just did some random shit like washing and cleaning or some reading and I just dozed off. Most insomnia patients dont get sleep because they constantly worry about their insomnia. And I know it sounds ridiculous.

[@rayspooner1982]

You're 100% right. It's easier said then done, but I think the 2 most important things are 1. Don't go to bed until you feel sleepy (not tired, sleepy). 2. If you can't sleep, get out of bed and do something relaxing like reading a book and go back to bed when you feel sleepy.

[@maximiliansirzen6340]

I fully agree with you, I've developed early stage insomnia now since I had strong anxiety/slight depression. And even despite following good sleep hygiene, I'd not be able to fall asleep because I'd stress about it so much, watch the clock etc. I'm still struggling now, but I'm learning to just accept it, read a book or journal/meditate, don't force sleep etc. I think these tips from this video rather apply to someone who can sleep but wants to improve their sleep quality/duration.

[@ryutenmen]

@@DrakeBrunette The first 3 fundamental rules for sleep are: - dark. - "cold"(meaning around 20 degree Celsius/68 Fahrenheit). - quiet(so no noise, ideally absolutely none). I know these rules for almost 20 years now and I tried to keep them and I mostly sleep like a baby. There some more of course, like: - dont eat close to sleep(usually my last meal is about 4-6 hour before sleep) - dont think of anything, but also dont force you not to think, because any conscious mental process will interfere with the spontaneous process of falling asleep. - dont carry your emotions into bed because it will lead to the above point. - regularity, of course. - dont have work to do in the first hour after wake, let alone something important. - have clean and lots of air in the room before sleep. - go to sleep between 10-11PM. and so on.

I am going to say the following with the kindest heart possible, because I truly respect all involved, and every comment here with . After a head trauma in 2019, I was left with an ongoing dizziness and a kind of white noise as tinitus...a combination that I'd not wish upon a worse enemy.... Since then, I have been sleeping 3 to 5 hours, often interrupted by 'peeing' But this short sleep pattern so to speak, opened me to a deeper way of understading myself ....instead of commiserating over, which I did in the beggining, I become instead totally glued in the very moment, observing the silence and noises of the night, and treat the impostor as an interesting guest... I am 67 years old, still look ten years youger even after this very unfortunate accident, and have noticed that my memory is more than ever a fortress ... I sometimes listen to postcads in the middle of the night, asking inside for the "right one", more often than not relieving my symptoms paradoxically... Moreover, I am very isolated, living alone in rural France... I am saying all that, not to search for compassion, but to find different answers ...even coffee( taken seldom but yet) in the middle of the night, actually helps me to fall back into another sleep cycle. I speak and write five languages fluently, and have this intriguing , beautiful but challenging life... Unfortunately, I am aware that the ongoing dizziness+tinutus could take the upper hand and weaken my life force... Thank you for insights Much love to us all❤

This guy is absolutely right. There were a few weeks where we did Shabbat with no electricity. It's a Jewish thing and You're not supposed to turn electrical things on or off during shabbat. But we were staying with my uncle on the weekends who had a cabin with no electricity at all so there would be nothing to turn on anyway. We only had the natural light of the sun and moon the whole weekend and it completely reset out circadian rythym and ended up getting sleepy hours earlier without trying. Watching the sun set in the horizon until it got dark was like a sleep drug. We suddenly just couldn't keep our eyes open. We also woke up naturally with the sunrise. Those weekends gave us the best sleep we ever had and my brother sufferred from insomnia his whole life. It was also easier to concentrate and less stress during the day. He now tries to watch the sunset as often as he can so that he can sleep better.

As a writer, I do my best work at night when it's dark and quiet and peaceful and the phone isn't ringing and cars aren't driving up and down the street and nobody is bothering me. It's just me and my own thoughts with no distraction. Also, I believe that humans were not designed to be forced awake. I feel lousy when I have to set an alarm, but if I get up naturally - usually between 10am and noon - I feel instantly ready to start the day.

The danger of cold is, you also get sleepy outdoors. Heard a story of somebody walking in a snowy big cold forest. He was walking for hours and got sweaty due to exercising. So he rested for a second against a fallen tree and unbuttoned his winterjacket, because he was so sweaty. He fell asleep because of the cold and froze to dead.

Quit smoking weed on weekdays on monday. Had my first full nights sleep last night since i stopped. Feels so different. And good!

Did you have wild dreams? I don't dream when I smoke, but have to abstain for drug tests every 3 months and my dreams come back and are fucking wild.

[@robc1014]

The Nameless im not really sure, what constitutes a normal dream? I dont dream much after smoking but sometimes i do but they dont feel and different to sober dreams

The book by Walker is probably the only book that has really made an impact in me. He describes the harm you cause by not sleeping enough so thoroughly that you don't want to sleep under 7,5 hours a night ever again

[@chanceneck8072]

Matthew Walker is such a great scientist to listen to. I literally memorized his name from just this one podcast...

[@Andrewltfanai]

People in Kolkata, India usually sleep during 2-4 in the afternoon. I found it quite strange when I first visited and most of the shops are closed during this period. Makes sense after listening to this.

[@dentyph5169]

ive always been fascinated by sleep and how and why the brain acts the way it does, so this was really good to listen to

[@gettingtoastedatq]

I have PTSD and have an awful time trying to sleep. Whether it’s never ending anxiety, not being able to turn my mind off, flashbacks while dreaming, etc.. I can tell you this guy speaks the truth. Going to sleep everyday same time and waking up same time (schedules and routines), sleeping in cold rooms, having comfortable lighting and staying away from blue light (iPhone yellow screen ftw). It doesn’t fix the situation, but my God is really makes a difference. If I sleep 4 hours a night I’m lucky. It’s tough and people don’t understand how PTSD derails your life. Just so I don’t have to answer this in responses, no I was not in the military. I was tortured for an extended period as a child and watched my mother kill my step father. Edit: also, at night I feel safer and get energy. It’s weird but it really does happen.

I got promoted at my job, so I had to start driving a little farther from my house, instead of having a 6 min drive it turned to a 26 min drive, and to beat traffic I wake up at 5am instead of 6:30am, I started sleeping earlier at night 10pm the latest , and my body is responding better and feeling better, I wake up before my alarm, and I feel rested, the 7 hours of sleep feels better then when I would sleep from 11pm to 6am(7 hours too) it’s pretty cool how little things can make a difference

Regularity is key 100%, been going to sleep at 9 and waking up at half 5 for 2 years now and I’ve never felt better had a child during that time and it got a little tricky but back to it and it’s the right way to go.

I can definitely relate to the point about temperature, if I sleep in a hot room and sweat really bad especially if I’m sick, I drift in and out of sleep and have really weird dreams (although all my dreams are extraordinarily strange already compared to what I hear many other dream about), but if I turn a fan on, open a window and don’t have my blanket on, I cool down and after that I sleep like a baby

[@alkoia]

Theyre called "fever dreams". Might be related to the rise in brain neuron activity that comes with an elevated temperature. Look it up
