[@BetterThanYesterday]

If you enjoyed the video, you should check out the book for yourself. It goes in much greater detail. :) EU: amzn.to/2mcxkXN US: amzn.to/2lba2le

can you timestamp each tip ?

[@buildsexualarousaldefeatth6313]

Better Than Yesterday thank you

[@ciolabros]

Get better sleep... Me watching this at 4:00 in the morning.

[@sinhtruong2374]

I meditate around 15 mins before sleep . No nightmares , no waking up in the middle of the night . Great result

[@BetterThanYesterday]

That's awesome that it works so well for you! It helps me as well :)

[@ryanbon7944]

How

[@sinhtruong2374]

Kuya Bon just sit and meditate

[@divyambaradas]

Just get wooden beads and on them chant the mantra Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

1. Get more sunlight during the day. 2. Avoid screens before bedtime. 3. Be cool. (sleep in a colder temperature) 4. Go to bed at the right time. (keep a consistent sleep schedule) 5. Create a "sleep sanctuary". (remove any outside distractions) 6. Get it blacked out. (make sure your room is dark) 7. Calm your inner chatter. (relax before bed)

[@haglong144]

Resume: Classic 8hrs sleep rutine is bullshit. Quality > quantity. 1. 1:37 Get more sunlight during the day: for optimal hormone regulation. 2. 2:12 Avoid screens before bedtime: at least 1-2 hours before sleep, instead read paper books. 3. 3:40 Be cool (body temperature): optimal 15-20°C, if it's uncomfortable/cold wear a pair of socks. Take a warm bath 1-2 hours before sleep. 4. 4:33 Go to bed at the right time: 10pm-2am. 5. 5:30 Create a sleep sanctuary: Use your bedroom only for sleep… and sex. 6. 6:26 Get it black out: environment must be dark (shouldn't even be able to see your hand in the darkness). 7. 7:07 Calm your inner chatter: use meditation.

[@KR-jg7gc]

How working hard during the day isn't included is interesting.. I've found if if do pretty much nothing during the day I struggle to sleep

[@catguy7520]

True

[@KR-jg7gc]

@Laura Croft that's good on u.. I too can sleep while watching a screen (i.e my phone)..in fact I watch videos on KZbin most days to help me fall asleep - does it mean it's not a tip to share with others (to say they should not watch TV, laptops, smartphone screens before sleeping)?.. no.

[@KR-jg7gc]

@Radford Tataryn Thank u

[@eighteenin78]

8 Do not eat a heavy meal within 4 hours of bedtime. 9. Do not drink tea, coffee, or colas after 4pm.

[@zoed3351]

Nick Myakovsky why

[@zoed3351]

Nick Myakovsky i can sleep either way

[@eighteenin78]

@@zoed3351 You can sleep on a full stomach, but you can also awaken with violent gastric reflux. It is better to have most food out of the stomach on its way. As for caffeine, most people are so addicted to it they don't remember life without it.

[@zoed3351]

Nick Myakovsky depends on what you eat / drink the only caffeine I get is from green tea and I have 6 small low carb meals throughout the day and as long as I don’t look at blue light I can sleep like a baby and lucid dream

[@incorporealnuance]

turning down the lights in my room is made more difficult because of the weird shapeshifting creatures that stand in the corners and stare at me, waiting until I'm not watching to do terrible things

[@tiffsaver]

Great video. I'm going to start using these techniques tonite:) UPDATE: I put all of your ideas to work last night, including blacking out my big bedroom window, lowering the temp on my thermostat, and turning my TV/computer off, and I slept better than I have in MONTHS. I am also going to try going to bed at the same time, which might be the hardest part, but your techniques really work!!! Thanks again.

[@BetterThanYesterday]

Glad they helped! Sweet dreams 💤

[@helendee3790]

I noticed as well when I started to walk in a park and have a 15 minutes exposure in the sun in the morning or walking in the daytime. It makes my body feeling tired and sleepy. Thanks for this ideas.

[@alexegus71]

I'm watching this video at 2am in my tablet while eating and jumping in the bed out of stress now I'm ready to go to sleep

Now you know better 😉

[@medialcanthus9681]

I slept from 10pm to 2am . Awoke to do something n now watching this.

[@amirahassan2742]

Me too

[@semhaagsma1910]

Me toooo😂😂

[@annaakosua6304]

Lots of great tips. I also love to listen to calming podcasts or audiobooks. Works best for me to distract me from my own thoughts. I would mostly wake up at night, no issue falling asleep and I don’t want to be up at night meditating. I even now started my own podcast to help others struggling with sleep.

[@dc9291]

It worked - t-v off - computer off - quiet. I have heard this many times before but this time i listened and it worked - thank you -

[@pairofsneakerheads]

This is the most important and helpfull video i have ever seen in my life. This should be tought in school. Thank you for sharing. Now it is time to take care of all my bad habbits.

[@AdventureSeeker]

Science says both are necessary - quality and quantity!

[@mazsroy9]

Adventure Seeker yes, I was just about to write the same thing. We need both.

[@omarvasquez6851]

I am winding down preparing to get a good night sleep but first I need to finish watching this video just a couple of times so I won’t forget all them tips.

[@BetterThanYesterday]

Write them down on a piece of paper. It will help you remember them better 😊

[@shayanderson9039]

Wow, I watched this and learned nothing really because I already do all 7 of these things. I’ve only been doing this for a week, and I already feel the results. My circadian rhythm and sleep schedule is totally correct now. This stuff is an absolute game changer. Do it! Especially the tip about only using your bed for sleep and sex! I get excited about going to sleep because I finally get to use my bed.

[@mach1gtx150]

Meditation is the most important advice you offered. It not only significantly improves one's sleep, but their entire life. Thanks for your advice!

[@swordgz]

Prayer and a light dinner also help

[@reneebrauner3474]

If you’re going to be on a computer or similar device, I highly recommend a blue Blocker sunglasses.😎👍🏼👍🏼

[@MrVronscki]

I count with my breathing, 1234 while breathing in, 1234 while breathing out. But my mind only gets rid of thoughts if I purposely visualise the numbers while I count. I sleep in under 1 minute doing so.

[@carlchilders9538]

Very good video. I do some deep breathing on my back when I first get in bed, which helps me also.

[@Doitallgp]

What works best for me is putting on a KZbin video at just barely loud enough to hear levels and that knocks me out and long as I don’t watch, just listen

[@webuyrealestate2892]

Loving your channel man these are fantastic great books been listening to on the road!

8. Don't eat high carb meals before bedtime, cause insulin blocks the production of melatonin

no earplugs ? thats the most important thing there is for sleep... believe me

[@martok2008]

how do you use an earplug in the ear that rests on top of the pillow?

Unfortunately, earplugs burn my ears after a while and I live next to a kindergarten with sugar drunk screaming kids (and teachers!).

@@martok2008 Look for the foam earplugs like the ones that 3M makes. I like to cut them a little bit to not get discomfort over the night.

Hi! I'm a huge fan of your channel, thank you so much for your great work! I have two questions: What blue light blocker glasses do you use? Do you happen to have a list of your top 5 or 10 personal development books that you have read? (That list itself could be a video too). Thanks again, I hope you are well!

You should buy a light box and use it in the winter months or on regular cloudy days. Look up "light therapy box" or "SAD light" 🙂

Screens before bedtime are fine. The light they give off is not enough to disturb sleep. The real problem with screens is that the content is often too excting, leading to problem number 7.

[@BetterThanYesterday]

Screens are not just mentally stimulating. Blue light disrupts your melatonin production and circadian rhythm. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181127111044.htm www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5669315/ www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/why-electronics-may-stimulate-you-bed

[@djferal001]

Does anyone know the ideal color temperature of the red light bulbs? I notice that bulbs designed for sleep are dark orange, like a campfire, but the bulb in the video is dark red like a novelty bulb from the halloween store. Also, what settings to use in f.lux, Twilight, Dimly, etc.?

[@daisysmum7336]

I do all of these things and I still can’t sleep.

[@yarnpower]

Karin S try meditating before bed. It can really relax you. That said, if you have a lot of stress in your life that can disrupt your sleep. Same with a lack of physical activity or exercise.every day. If your muscles are not tired it makes it harder to fall and stay asleep.

[@agrippa5643]

Well done

[@jaguarblack4332]

Just turn ac on the coldest setting then jump under your blanket and roll it up around you. Make sure you cover your head but don't forget your headphones. On playlist the music you like you'll listen to but make sure you have a few on your playlist that are ok. The ones that are ok you will fall into a deep relax thinking then you'll fall asleep. Remember good music mixed with ok music. The only thing that might disturb you but eventually you'll fall asleep if the stupid KZbin commercials in-between your playlist music. Just get use to hitting skip until you get tired of it. PLEASE TRY
