I’ve never been able to sleep my whole life. I basically pass out. I honestly believe I don’t have a shut off switch. But I think a lot and I never stop thinking. I have five different research projects going on, so when I lay down, I’m thinking. I hung seven flags today and it took me a lot of anguish, to figure out which knot I should use and how to actually make it work. Anyway, I asked my doctor for sleep aid and she wouldn’t prescribe me anything and nothing over the counter works.
Get yourself a happy place in your mind, a fantasy sandbox. It could be a small island, or a mountain cabin. Lay down, close your eyes, and start describing in your mind this place. What does it smell like? Are there birds? How do they sound? Are you sitting, walking, flying? …. As you fill your place with details, which can be whatever you imagine, your mind will focus so much that you drift into a meditative sleep.
Try ashwaghanda
Walk for 45 minutes at a fixed time in the evening, daily.
Chamomile Tea
Take Mg Glycinate
Dr. Berg, please do a meet and greet here in Los Angeles 🙏.
I can attest to that … especially since menopause … I sleep between 4 – 6 hours a night because of work and home responsibilities …. and no matter what I do that weight persists
I was the same then was taking trace minerals and if the thyroid nears attention helps alot too back to 7-8 hrs now
Not only am I disabled, obese, but I have Sleep Aponea, waking several times a night. I find that doing a couple of hours of hard exercise helps, but my weight just doesn’t shift.
Do you have CPAP machine?
@@tumadre5000SEVERE sleep apnea here, going on 25 YEARS, UNTREATED!! Can’t do cpap and the few times I’ve tried, no difference. It’s been a long 25 years of daily fatigue. 🙁 🙁 P.S…Not overweight, 60 yrs old, no thick neck, none of that.
@@tumadre5000No. I couldn’t sleep with that on.
I was like that, eating less & less, but nothing happened. Until I started Dr. Bergs keto 18mths ago. That with IF, the weight dropped 10kgs in 3 months 😊. With osteoarthritis, I couldn’t walk much. Stress causes Cortisol to spike, and that, plus menopause, & estrogen dropping equals many problems. Sleep, relax and be active with things you love ❤️, win win, is what we can say 😊
try some ghee with poached eggs in the evening, then IF … get outside the next mornings, tidy up in your garden, house .. neighborhood for just 15m a day. your brain needs some healthy fats and proteins to function optimally.
carbs and starches are the devil for most, + needlessly ruin our weigh-loss journeys.
i’m 51 and 186 pounds. I want to lose 20 pounds. Lately I try to go to bed at 9 PM. I wake up a lot during the night. I wonder if I should get back onto melatonin. I heard it’s not good to be taking it.
stress is also a big factor
I think that goes side by side because if you got stressed and you’re not sleeping you’re really screwed.
@@Avengedsevenfoldrocks yep, exercise usually helps with stress. it may not be the cure, but it will help you sleep.
I think most people who are severely obese, have some sort trauma, and are using food to cope. the trauma is playing in the background, and causing them more stress. which will cause sleepless nights, and to gain weight.
I’m pretty sure that’s the problem for my situation. I’m doing everything else right but until the stress is alleviated, my body is going to hold onto what it thinks it needs. At least I’m eating right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to handle the situation calmly.
I’m 47, and I cannot remember a night in which I woke up and felt rested. It’s usually a feeling of “Did I even sleep last night?” and a game of “How many times did I wake up last night?” I wake up after every memorable dream, when I’m cold, when it’s too noisy, when it’s too quiet, in an unfamiliar place/bed, with someone else in bed with me….anywhere from every hour to every half hour. I don’t snore unless I’m sick or having allergy issues. I’ve tried sleep aids, but my body and brain can’t fully wake up from them the next day and I walk around like a zombie. It’s absolutely awful and no doctor is willing to help me figure out what to do. I just want a good night’s sleep and wake up feeling better.
I feel ya my friend. I’m in the same boat. Going on 25 years of “severe sleep apnea”. Untreated. Haven’t had a good nights sleep in about 35 years. Haven’t slept through the night in 35 years. Tired daily, often 2 naps per day. All this started in my late 30’s. Prior to that, I was unstoppable. Weightlifter, motorcycle rider, you name it. It’s been torture and all any “doctor” seems to want to do is throw me on cpap, which has never worked. As sad as this sounds, maybe you can take comfort in knowing there’s someone else out there like you.
@usaman7358 thank you for your kind words of support, I truly appreciate them!
Thank goodness ❤❤❤
I only manage to get 4 hours of sleep per night no matter how hard I try.
So what’s the solution?
What is your suggestion?? I have chronic insomnia 😢😢😢
Exercise is needed to get consistent good long nights sleep.
This is, Reinventing Energy And Love ✊🏿 ❤️ 👊🏿
Never go to gym when you have slept for less than 6-7 hours it destroys your heart
There’s nothing better than a good night sleep. Thanks, Dr Berg ❤
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Good quality sleep is so important. Thank you, Dr Berg.
Agree. Thanks for your comment.
Even my own late Grandmother said “Good Sleep is best for you.”
Is using melatonin advisable for those of us with difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep? Menopause is a nightmare that interferes with so many aspects of life including sleep.
I suffered from sleep deprivation for years. Now my body is sleeping at night. Seemed like no sleep aides helped. I went cold turkey for 3 weeks no sleep aides. I stopped all melatonin. I only take Tylenol pm 2 hrs before bedtime. I get up at 6 every morning and go to bed at 10. I get gentle exercise in every day like walking. I drink 2 30 grams of high protein drinks a day. I sleep better on my tummy. The combination has helped me sleep like a baby. I am so thankful to sleep. Before the routine I was only sleeping every other day. On days after not sleeping I am a zombie. I would stay in bed until 9 because suffering from lack of sleep.
