In this video, we’re going to talk about what to do if you’re tired but can’t sleep.

Have you ever felt exhausted, but you can’t seem to fall asleep? If so, you’re in the right place. Try these 7 tips for falling asleep easier when you’re tired:

1. No water past 7 pm - Consuming water before bed can cause you to feel like you have to use the restroom, especially if you have insulin resistance or pre-diabetes.

2. Limit caffeine intake - One 8oz cup of coffee a day should be your limit. Excess caffeine can make it difficult to fall asleep.

3. Limit protein - Too much protein can act as a stimulant. Keep your protein consumption to 3 to 8 oz per meal.

4. Use up body energy - Having too much energy before bed can make it difficult to fall asleep. Try using up your energy by going on long walks, exercising, and doing physical work.

5. Catch the first circadian wave - Your first circadian wave is typically around 9:30 pm. Try to catch this wave to make falling to sleep easier.

6. Take a sleep aid before bed - Natural sleep aids can help you get to sleep faster when it comes time for bed. Calcium lactate is a great natural supplement that can help with sleep.

7. Keep your room on the colder side - A warm body temperate may keep you up at night. People tend to sleep better in a slightly cool environment.

When I can’t sleep I find the longest Dr. Berg video I can find, close my eyes and let his hypnotic soothing voice lull me to sleep . Works every time .

The body is tired but the brain is working ➡️ me

"To much energy" i think that's me. I just finished my first ever Fast 24 hours. I didn't feel hungry? I didn't sleep solid but feel Wide awake and ready for work. I cannot believe how good i feel after going low carb at 72ish.now at 74 I'm working and enjoying that and ride a electric unicycle all over the place. The little kid in me is happy.

Here in Ireland, lots of woods and beaches, so walking a big help for sleep. Thanks. Joy B

I listen to rain & rolling thunder always puts me into a nice deep sleep. I used to live in Florida where we'd have rain late at night and I loved it.

I blame technology for this, people tend to use “Facebook” and other apps while sitting in bed, I’d ditch the phone and read a good book 👍

So it’s 10pm here in Australia and I’m on YouTube. That should help.

Going to bed at the same time every night, taking ashwaganda, holy basil, and 10mg melatonin helps me. And the window open a crack for fresh air. Appeciate this video for more helpful ideas!♥

When this happens to me I exercise for 40 min. and then I sleep like a baby👍 Thanks for this video, Doc. Love your channel😊🙏

The idea of catching the 1st wave sounds like fun! Kinda like surfing into bed. 🌊 I learned a long time ago I couldn't fall asleep if I thought about the real world. So I make up pictures in my head wherein I design houses or travel to invented places and this "disconnect" works great. 🌫️

I can't remember which comedian said it but they had a bit about people who can't sleep. Basically he asked, "you know who doesn't have trouble sleeping? Construction workers."
I did construction work when I was younger and I would nap on my lunch break and sleep as soon as I got home from work.🤣

It's like you know my struggle. Thanks, Doc!

[sanapervaiz]

Only I know how much I needed this video. Thank you Dr. Berg

Dr Berg I’ve always been an Insomniac. I’ve found a remedy and been using it for years. But for the last few weeks I can’t sleep. After watching your show I’ve found the culprit. My husband got me some peanuts and I’ve been eating those for a snack. Protein really is a stimulant. Thanks Dr Berg. Watch you all of the time.

[FanLalaSongYeah]

I used to have sleep problems but your Sleep Aid and Healthy Keto totally helped me! I love it! Thank you Dr Berg!

[dwermes]

One other thing to add to the list: listen to Dr. Berg's soothing voice to fall asleep. 😌

Thank you! It was a struggle last night
