I suffer from insomnia for a long time, tried everything.. i can tell u guys the nap became my ally.. when i have a nap during the day, i lie down practically at the same.time, not feeling destroyed and have better quality sleep.. the days i dont nap, i, believe it or not, take longer to fall asleep as i am so exhausted and anxious that i wont rest well.. cycle continues

Please prepare content on short sleepers like me who just can't sleep for more than 5 hours.For example , I sleep at 9.30 pm and can't be in bed after 230 am or maximum 3 am.

I am similar to that and a little less than 2 teaspoons of RAW honey (before bed), seems to help sleep a few more hours.
@debbiechadwick8613 ай бұрын
I used to do that too. But I realized I need the bulk of my sleep later so I can be refreshed for work. So I started going to sleep by 11:00. The short sleep is then closer to my work time. If I wake up at 2 or 3 then I'm exhausted by the time I go to work.

There’s a guy that talks about accepting wakefulness at night because worrying about it interferes with falling asleep and staying asleep. If you wake after 5 hours and feel like getting up do so and return to bed later or carve out time for a short nap during the day if you can. Sleep is such a hot topic right now and not allowing all the talk about its importance get in your head is probably the best advice we can follow. There are people who run on less sleep and don’t suffer ill effects. Find what works for you and accept who you are.

My tips: eat early at 5pm and take double melatonin at 6:30 or 7. Get the dishes done and the house tidied and bed turned down then too. Put everything you need for tomorrow at your Launch Pad. Set out tomorrow's clothes. Hot bath, and bed by 9. Get up at 5. Just get up and get outside into the dawn. I found an 8 hour recording of just rain that helps me too. No thunder! Years living on a boat as a teenager makes me very worried about thunder cracks because lightning might hit the mast! And I always worry that the babies might wake up, so I sleep with one ear open. Only see and hear happy, glad things after dinner. No news. No Trump. Meditation and soak in purity and divinity! Rest in the Everlasting Arms. Sweet Dreams!.

I suffered from chronic insomnia for 3 years and tried everything until I discovered CBT-I 2 months ago. Before, I slept 2 to 4 hours a night, now the average is 6.5 hours with 1 hour more or less. Now I feel much healthier.

I fall asleep under 10 minutes. Wake up during REM and am awake for 30- 90 minutes. I have and continue to do all the things you mentioned. I find valerian root and listening to an audiobook helps me eventually get more sleep until I hit REM again.

You described a technique called "diaphragmatic breathing"; I'd just like to say that all breathing is diaphragmatic breathing - unless you are someone who has a machine breathing for them like Christopher Reeves. I'm sure that's not new info to you. Of course, we have some agency over allowing the breath to fill the lower lungs and thus the diaphragm moves the viscera downwards & the belly expands, and we can reset paradoxical breathing. just my two cents. Thank you for your many good ideas! I'm a fan.

I have been using Dr. Breus' book and techniques as well as the Sleep Reset app for a year now. I am a physician and on call at the hospital every 3-4 nights so have fragmented sleep and the need to be fully awake in the middle of the night when on call in the operating room. I have found relaxation techniques, no incompetent Kamala or demented Biden news at night, and good sleep hygiene can all make a difference.

What is your professional opinion on marijuana edibles? I asked my neurologist and he won’t give me an answer. I’m ready to pull my hair out from lack of sleep! I’ve literally tried everything. Update: I finally gave in and I’ve been eating a teeny tiny bit every night and it helps me fall asleep. My husband didn’t really want me to try it but then he saw how much I struggle with insomnia.

there is only one thing you need to understand - you can't control your sleep - if you can't sleep do something you like for 30 mins to an hour and then go back to bed = your brain keeps you awaake /hyperarousal - why because it perceives that you are frightened of being awake - over time your brain will be reassured and ypur sleep will start improvong - be patient = most of the suggestions iin this video have little impact on your sleep - he's interested in business - steer clear of drugs unless you need short term help with anxiety

When I'm up throughout the night I just lie in bed and do a yoga nindra that relaxes me if I got up like he said every time I'm up then I would really get no rest I don't get stressed out anymore when I'm up throughout the night cuz I know this is habit for me so like I said I do a meditation in the middle of the night sometimes I'm able to go back to bed sometimes I don't at least I'm getting rest for my body and mind also in the middle of the day I lay down and do another hour meditation or half an hour this gives me energy and focus throughout the day when I take the time out to relax in the middle of the afternoon

My issue is not falling asleep it's waking up after two hours, to be wide awake and no shut power button on my brain! I can think of six things at once! I sleep may four hours at most, on a good sleep night, maybe twice a week?! But oddly, I don't feel tired at all, maybe a bit cognitively challenged, 😏but, I don't EVER need to nap! So am I getting enough sleep for me? who knows? But I do feel like I could be missing out on that restorative sleep, based on what so called science says, if that restorative sleep exists at the wee hours of the night 4-5 am, if so, I'm missing it?

No wonder since obsesive compuslive behaviour arund sleep by restricting rhe s**t out of it and trying to avoid naps even when your body signals this need, counting your breaths which leads to monitoring....etc. and avoidance behaviour like i must noit watch the clock i must not watch tv o must not etc ....jesus you are literally creating insomnia
