Insomnia is an industry and I’m so glad that your video is legitimate and not just a sales pitch. You are taking your time to provide real advice and methods. I appreciate it and I hope others will as well. I just watched one called 5 Steps and after an hour he tries to sign you up for his 1000 coaching program. Viewer/buyer beware! In contrast your video is honest, valid and free. I have chronic insomnia. Most nights I just don’t sleep but about every third night I do. I’m retired now but at 75 I’ve had a successful marriage and career working two jobs and was awake most of the time. I do love coffee and I do drink water all day so your advice there is well taken. I do a lot of hiking and biking. I just try to see being awake as a fact of my life and try to make good use of it; play chess, read or listen to books and watch videos on KZitem University. When my body/mind gets tired enough I go to sleep. If I get anxious about not sleeping or read about how important it is that just makes me anxious so I advise myself, Don’t Worry Be Happy and again Thank you for providing a very positive, honest and helpful video.

Hey doc! Wanted to say, you saved me so much time trying to figure this all out myself, and money consulting doctors in-person, and I seriously appreciate it. Despite being a wolf and needing to wake up before dawn at 4am daily, your videos, especially this one, have helped me not only improve my sleep, but radically transform it, and it has positively affected my entire life from occupation to ministry to recreation to relationships. The 20-20-20 concept was definitely the most effective. I don’t have ADHD, but I do have a hyperactive brain and am an Enneagram type 5 (thinker). Needless to say, my brain is a two-edged sword, and often is what keeps me up at night. “Positive distraction” was the real game changer. Thanks again, doc! I have recommended your channel and select videos to my business partners and mentors to use. Over time, the value they’re going to add will grow and grow!

What do you think of magnesium spray for the feet? I wash my face at dinner time because if do my skincare right before bed, all my serums will end up on my pillow. By doing it earlier all my creams have a chance to be fully absorbed into my skin. I can’t drink tea before bed, that’s guaranteed to wake me up in the middle of night to go to the bathroom.
@TheSleepDoctor

There is NO DATA to show that either a magnesium salt bath or spray on the feet changes the amount of magnesium in your system. I think this might be marketing. BUT it does feel good and relax you, so maybe its just the relaxing that has the effect.

It is so hard getting to sleep on a scheduled time as the noise is so disturbing. Some days I try to sleep in the mornings in my darkened room when I am exhausted from being up all night in messery . I uae sound machines to try to mask, but right now it is not helping much.I did have my ear's checked out by Drs. who are professionals in this area and was told it's from loss of hearing with no other problems. I was told there is nothing that can be done.. I do listen to relaxation tapes,. but causes stress as still struggling to sleep as so extremely tired then I get over tired that sometimes lasts for days. I am praying daily. Do you of any suggestions? Thank you.

How soon after waking should you go outside into the sun and do you need to be outside or can you watch it from your window?
@andrear.4864

An answer I found elsewhere to my same question a while back: Try to get outside as soon after waking as possible for at least 2 minutes or so, as a wakeup cue for your body clock. Direct exposure is best because windows do not allow full spectrum light components to pass through. I like to head back inside to prepare a beverage, get on some sunscreen,... then go out again for a while to sip and enjoy other solar benefits for eyes, skin, energy, etc.

About recording dreams: I find that waking up enough to write down a dream makes it very difficult to go back to sleep again. Waking up that much means the whole sleep cycle (90 min) seems to be shot. If I spend 5 or 10 or 15 minutes recalling and recording my dream, it will be an hour to an hour and a half before I can fall back asleep again. Any recommendations, Dr Breus, on how to deal with this issue, without either abandoning my dream journal or losing sleep?

Am I so naive to think that I'm not the only person who doesn't "do" coffee? Sounds like Doc thinks everyone but me does. AND! Come on Doc-you really shouldn't be encouraging/promoting waste-especially plastic waste (even if it's recycling). Don't show people "trashing" water bottles-and it's illogical, as you first show someone filling up a reusable bottle-then throwing it away. Encourage REUSE-not "recycle'/trash!! Okay now some of my advice: Keeping track of your dreams and or thoughts is a lot easier if you have a record app on your phone: one button and al you have to do is speak. Or, use your voice option on an email to yourself-which is a great reminder tool.
