What Do You Do Wrong Every Night According To Science? | DEBUNKED

[@DebunkedOfficial]

I've had a few requests to provide our Circadian Rhythm timeline graphic we used in this video. It is now available over on our Community Tab ☺

[@理科学生]

1. no late dinner 2. no late exercises 3. no late water 4. yes late shower {warm water} 5. yes 18.3 temp {cool} 6. yes Sleep on back 7. no late screen 8. yes meditate 9. yes diary 10. yes to do list 11. sleeping satisfied no matter the progress u made {as long as u tried your best}

[@Arrowz_88]

When do you take your last sip of water prior to bed?

[@Arrowz_88]

Allow me to ask a few more questions, becuz I've been having trouble. I eat 2 hours before bed, and I turn off all electronics 1 hour before bed. But my troubles revolve around drinking water, and taking a shower. If I take a shower, I get super thirsty. And if I drink something before bed, I gotta get up and pee in the middle of my sleep.Should i take a shower 1 hour before bed, but drink some water right before? I just need specifics on the timing

[@Arrowz_88]

If you could give me the answers, you would be changing my life for the better.

[@MuhammadRehan-m8k]

​@@Arrowz_88 Yeah you can take shower 1 hour before bed and also drink water before taking shower but if you feel thirsty after it , you can quench your thirst with a Little amount of water but try to limit water intake at least before 30 mins before bed

I love how those studies assume people sleep in one of the positions! I use all 3 positions multiple times a night!

[@planescaped]

I start on my back, go to my right side, swap to my left/ left stomach, and then return to my back before falling asleep like clockwork every night.

[@PeterPannekoek1850]

Yeah same. Start on my back, rotating to my side. When I wake up, I rotated 180 degrees with my head on the feetside of the bed.

I once slept in my car and woke up with weird clothes in a hospital. Really weird what sleeping position made me go all the way there. (Joke)

Yea, I listen to them more than watching them. Light doesn't bother me though. I sleep best in the daytime so if I turn on a light or phone, I might fall asleep. For some weird reason I fall asleep holding my phone and not dropping it. I wake up after the video ends, then I put the phone down, I have no idea how this can happen.

[@lonelyPorterCH]

In summer I mostly shower late, nice to know that thats good^^ Sadly, my room is almost impossible to cool below 24° C in summer because the building is very new and isolated pretty good (no there is no AC), keeping windows open the whole night only brings it down from 25+ to about 24

[@biko9824]

You're not alone with your temperature problem mate

[@katarzynabisaga4020]

24°C is the perfect temperature for me to switch to my summer guilt. Any lower than that and I need my winter comforter. If it's less than 19 I need my winter comforter plus the summer quilt on top and a cap on my head. And if it gets less than 16 I need to turn on a heater or else I will wake up with a cold due to the cold air in my nose and mouth. With temperature it all depends what kind of bedding and bedclothes you use - the actual temperature doesn't matter as long as it isn't so hot you get sweaty under a light sheet (sleeping without any cover isn't recommended because you can catch a cold even if the room is crazy hot due the the temperature differences caused by your sweat and slight drafts on your skin).

I work night shift as a Security Guard and sleep during the day. Any suggestions for how I could get a better sleep? Would it be better for me to sleep during the morning right after I get off work or stay up a bit and sleep in the early afternoon? Is pacing around at work better than sitting and relaxing? Does always wearing sunglasses during the day when outside negatively effect my ability to sleep when I’m inside? Does wearing a face mask over my eyes negatively effect my sleep quality in the long run?

[@zeebest1004]

Get TF OFF night shift!! Your body simply CAN’T adjust to that as a regular daily schedule…

[@user-gu9yq5sj7c]

12:15 Maybe use a warm color light/tone on your screen or set it to a black screen. Maybe sleep when you fall asleep at home. I think balance is good. Like between relaxing and some activity. Listen to something relaxing to help you fall asleep. You can look up your questions.

I use a blue light filter for my computer, and use smart lighting to adjust color temps in the morning and evening, and I wake up almost every morning feeling energized... having had no problems falling asleep. I sleep on the floor most nights, and the only thing that I've found to keep me from falling asleep is not being comfy. That is almost always solved by turning to my other side, at which point I'm usually out in less than 5 minutes.

[@realJoeMavro]

I can testify to all of these except "no screens." For the last three years, I've been watching relaxing videos on youtube before bed and 9/10 times, it makes me feel relaxed and sleepy.

With the background light being dimmed, it's my brain signal to go to sleep.

[@vampirecount3880]

As someone who has suffered from insomnia for years, I can attest that exercise has not changed my sleep quality at all. I used to not exercise at all, I was completely sedentary. In the last 10 years I have changed radically. I run for an hour a day, every day, and I work in construction so my job requires me to be very active. I have not noticed any difference in my sleep with the change. In fact, it may have even gotten worse. Not saying dont exercise, but if you want to do it just so you can sleep better, im just saying don't have too many expectations

[@i7bwn]

I stopped using a pillow long time ago, Instead i have a fuzzy blancket. i can move it in all shape, thin to thick depending on how i want to sleep. I recommand all to switch as pillows can't be as adaptable and take space.

[@GuyInBlackClothes]

I agree with the food topic, I hate that I end up eating dinner at 2am before I head to bed. I hate this. But thankfully (for some reason) watching educational videos help me fall asleep as I learn. I fall asleep quickly and eases my mindset.

Sure if you have mud and sweat all over you don't carry that into your bed (what the hell does your day look like?). If you haven't been physically active however I don't see the point of showering before bed. I rather shower in the morning so I can go clean into the day. Starting the day clean makes more sense to me then be clean at the very end of the day when it matters the least.

At 8:22 says that you shouldn't be making yourself warm and cozy. For me this is absolutely needed! I'm always sleeping with a hoodie on, and even with the hood over my head *(to mostly prevent feeling a draft on the back of my neck)* but to also hold in heat that escapes from the ears. Even in the summer time, when the AC is running to keep my place at a comfortable cooler temperature, I'm still putting a hoodie on before bed. Also, I have a job working 2nd shift and get home from work at 11pm and the majority of the time I'm feeling hungry when I get home, so another thing I do that this video says not to do is I usually make myself a sandwich around midnight and then go to bed like 2hrs later. I'm also a stomach sleeper too. I feel like there are a lot of "Don't Do's" in this video that I do in fact do and I still don't have an issue falling to sleep usually.

[@Dr_V]

Decent video for the intended purpose, but there are a few problems, mainly in the sleep position segment. Flat on your back is NOT the best sleeping position, as while it does provide the best passive vertebral alignment it also brings a significant aspiration hazard (choking on your own saliva or nose secretions), the safest sleep position is lateral. Also the second pillow between the knees, while based on real (older) research, has been debunked years ago for multiple reasons, the simplest one being that most people don't stay motionless during sleep and impeding leg movement activates autonomous defense reflexes, stimulating the RAS and consequently lowering sleep quality.

Good point about the shower!

You should shower twice a day..in the morning and after coming home from work..that's it..hygiene is important,unless you are the kind who uses paper towels to wipe after you take a shit.😅 They dont care about hygiene

[@Michele-z4k]

@@renogunzddragon1900 two showers a day on a regular basis will dry your skin as you are washing away the natural oils that protect your skin from drying out (apply lotion doesn’t replace the oils). Also, those oils can also protect against bacteria. Showering so often can cause your body to ramp up the oil production which makes more oil so you shower to wash it off and then more oil is produced causing a vicious.

[@jumanian7346]

This doesn’t even make any sense. Why would I shower at night when I can just shower in the morning. You always sweat at night. Also, I can just change the sheets and clean them easily so it’s not a big deal. This just seems so strange to shower at night.

[@Michele-z4k]

@@jumanian7346 Not everyone sweats at night. The heat of the shower relaxes and opens the blood veins and vessels helping you to relax and fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer. If you are sweating at night when you are exerting energy you may have a medical condition. If you haven’t already it’s worth asking your doctor about it.

Interesting proposition, expect there's one big issue with that method. One that I've experienced often. You often fall asleep at a random position. Tjis is especially true if you're holding a smartphone, as it causes your body -mostly your arms- to go limp at awkward positions. As a result, you end up with a bit of pain if you remain like that for the rest of your night.

Things I did to make my sleep way better (I have bad insomnia problem). Drink a glass of water with Magnesium 1h before bed, shower in the evening, read a real book with a more yellowish light and keep all other lights off. The only Illumination I use then is the red led of my Garmin Fenix. Even though I am a side sleeper using an extremely flat pillow or none at all reduced my headaches in the morning to almost 0 (contrary to what you said). Took me some getting used to though. But whenever I use a firmer or thicker pillow my headaches are right back the next morning. Btw I started to try this out when I read an article that ergo pillows are actually bad for everyone and I wanted to see if it’s BS or not. My sleep gets better after any sport like 5-6h before bed. But extremely straining sport makes my sleep bad. Like no more marathons or even Halfmaratjons before workdays. Regarding screen color though I have now read a couple of times that the blue light thing is actually more of a myth. That actually matches my observation that I sometimes fall asleep way better when I watch something boring on my phone lol. But probably the mobile thing is more that you will hop yourselves up too often when you should calm down.

There is this ancient, mostly forgotten tool relevant to this discussion. It is called a book. And reading an hour or so before bedtime is considered by sources I referenced suggest reading before bed gives you a better sleep cycle. Admittedly the type of book you read does matter. Horror and thrillers are not the right reading material. So dust off some books, if you have any, and get some better sleep quality.

Theres a youtube channel that talks about space and i can never get through the video when its bed time because it puts me right to sleep

[@dreyabradford2054]

What’s it called? 👀

[@babyzoomer924]

Watching this in bed, 3 hours after my midnight shower lmao

Blue light from screens affecting sleep is a misinterpretation of the data. Much more important is to get a lot of light on the middle of the day..the amount of light entering the eye from screens is not really sufficient to significantly stimulate the melanopsin system. The real issue is sitting in the office midday - which is 1000 - 10000 times dimmer than outside. So insufficient signals are sent to the brain to tell us when is the midday peak.

I’m curious about two things: -Taking Melatonin before bed -Consuming pot before bed

[@agustinfranco0]

honestly, the light part, we as humans already screwed it up too much, at a normal nighttime we are at home with lights everywhere.

my message was deleted (i guess it's because i was linking studies), but bottom line is: best position to sleep with less apnea/snoring is on the side, as shown by different studies

[@YaniraBermúdez-o6d]

Thank you for video so much ❤

[@DebunkedOfficial]

Thank you for watching ❤️

[@MediumChain]

And worrying too much about all of this also doesn't help.

[@Itsnotironic444]

Hey guys, Butcher is right. Get to bed.

[@gckittel91]

Right after i watched the boys season 4, what a coincidence 😅

[@Gejdbaksidnd]

Nothing helps me sleep more than watching a ton of KZbin videos with extra blue light on before bed.

[@Mycatsveaissocute]

It’s one thing to use your phone before bed but it’s another thing to do it when you feel ill as hell so you try to intake as much dopamine as possible to feel not as ill

[@evog35viii]

What about when I come home from work in the afternoon, sit on the couch, blink once, then it's 5:45 a.m.? I hate when that happens.

[@user-zb8fj5px2p]

You’re so real for this 🙏😘

[@harth1026]

When it comes to fitness, it's the thought that counts.

[@petervarga8436]

Well, I think, I'm a fat ass...

[@geoffhalbert5435]

I'm 61 I work on a building site. My back and calf muscles hurt every day, they still hurt in the morning. I've just brought another turnaround project to do when I get home from work. I never get a good night's sleep

[@Bill_W_Cipher]

9:14 Due to me being underweight, I am often shivering at 65 degrees Fahrenheit...

[@kfor47]

I've got a malfunctioning thyroid gland. I'm often shivering at 75 degrees F. I hope I will win the lottery and move to the Bahamas. The tropical climate suits me just fine. LOL

[@murdoc4072]

Where did the timeline chart come from? I’d like to use this as a reference to help with sleep and daily living.

[@DebunkedOfficial]

Over the coming week I’ll make a shareable image version and upload it to the community tab. 👍 Thanks

[@Reddeadgamexz]

@@DebunkedOfficialdid you ever make one?

[@DebunkedOfficial]

@@Reddeadgamexz Thanks for the reminder! It's on our Community Tab now 😁

[@aurtofall7284]

"Melatonin secretion starts at 9 pm" and yet here am I getting to sleep at sometimes even earlier than 9pm in like 2 minutes

[@corkbulb2895]

Fun fact: Studies concluded that how much weight you lose has to do with how you *feel* about your activity level, not how much activity you actually do. Specifically, this study was done looking at a person's job. If people merely *think* their job is physically demanding, regardless of how many calories they burn at work, resulted in healthier weights and more weight loss during dieting. Also, I have had insomnia all my life and still do. Before I was taking prescription medications for it, I would often drink beer and other alcohol to help fall asleep. Although it would get me to fall asleep quickly and reliably, I would wake up a few hours later with MAD anxiety and couldn't go back to sleep for the life of me. Often I would feel worse the next day after drinking then if I hadn't slept at all. Case in point: see a doctor if you have trouble sleeping. EDIT: About the temperature thing, I *always* turn the thermostat down a degree or two when I go to sleep (both in winter and summer) or I literally cannot sleep. I cannot fall asleep when it is too warm, and I set my thermostat to 72 in summer and 67 in winter, which is actually lower than most people I know. I do that primarily to save money, as those settings are the borderline to being uncomfortable. But I set them 1 or 2 degrees lower before I go to bed. If not, I wake up sweating profusely and cannot go back to sleep, if I even fall asleep at all. The week my air conditioner broke and while I was waiting for it to get repaired was probably the worst sleep I ever had in my entire life. All week.

Not me watching this right before sleeping while I ate some cookies 😭
