As someone diagnosed with Delayed Sleep Wake Phase Disorder(DSWPD), nothing really seems to help but improve a little. ☠️ It’s not a rare disorder but usually missed by physicians during diagnosis since insomnia is much more common. Saying it’s solely behavioral is a absurdly shortcut way of describing the disease. There are limited number of studies but they mostly indicate the problem lies in responsiveness of the brain towards light in individuals. Sooo I feel desperate in other words. 🫠 Dimming the lights helps hugely though.

@@efesari792Agreed. Genetic/biological chronotypes are absolutely a thing. Delayed sleep phase exists for 70% of people with adhd like myself. And yes these tips help me get better *quality* sleep, but I am literally physically incapable of being a morning person. When I’ve had early morning jobs/responsibilities for multiple weeks in a row, I literally will vomit in the morning, have constant headaches, and need more hours asleep than when my schedule is later, ie starting work 11am or later. This makes having a traditional 9-5 job and being “successful” nearly impossible … Evolutionarily it makes sense that some people would be night owls… we don’t all have to be the same clones. All chronotypes should be respected imo.

i am not a medical student but like these educational videos , beeing a mom is hard with combining these kind of routines , but think in the end familie routines and strategies are also good i think

Waking up at 5:00 - 6:00 a.m. on weekends, and 7:00 - 7:30 a.m. on weekdays. Thank you for this video, I learned a lot!!! Let's go Med School Insiders!!!

Good morning start with a good night

[@maryhasaballa4052]

I used to love waking up earlier to get all of my work done so that i can do what I actually enjoy later in the day. Nowadays it’s more difficult for many reasons. I’m trying to be in mindset again but it’s difficult

[@petabytecat]

Thank you so much for this video. I am truly grateful. I have been suffering from sleep problems for such a long time as a teen, and its amazing how these strategies work. Others usually have steps that don't work at all (like deep breathing or military sleep technique). ;-; you fixed my sleep

[@jacey_u]

Ok this video is great gonna follow the steps religiously from now on ❤

[@Hamnah2002]

This video came at the most perfect time ❤

[@RL-fb4bf]

Can you please make a video about clinical genetics? It’d be soo helpful

[@BB_West]

I've always wondered if sleep from, let's say, 10pm to 6am is the same as sleep from 12am to 8am?Assuming all the conditions are the same. Thank you for these videos, finding your channel was one of the luckiest things that have happened to me.

[@DeanHartshorn]

You should sleep 8:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. No joke.

[@DeanHartshorn]

That is if you want increase your memory, and limit your sleeping time better.

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Evidence suggests the former is better.

[@probablynot2123]

Speaking strictly from personal experience, I would definitely say going to sleep earlier would be by far the best option. I find that staying up later, even slightly, takes a toll on my body that I feel the next morning.

Can you please make a "so you want to be a veterinarian" video.

But fist step 1: Have money

😂

[@Ur1z13l]

and alone without wife and kids

[@probablynot2123]

None of this requires money. The only thing might the red light, but this isn’t necessary. Just keep your lights few, dim, and low.

What if there's no sunlight at 4 am then how do I get it within half an hour

[@monserratsoto9338]

The only option is artificial lights on your home, but whenever the sun rises still is beneficial to get the light outside😊

I wake up immediately when too cold… but my house is very cold at night and I still can’t sleep

[@GreyLynn01]

And my anxiety makes it where where I can’t sleep without the TV one but I do keep my electronics dim as possible

[@GreyLynn01]

But the bathroom thing makes sense on why we all try to keep our eyes closed when we need to go at night 🤣
