This has been my entire life as a teenager and young adult. Ever since I've fixed my insulin, thyroid and b vitamins, I wake up mostly refreshed after a good 7 hours sleep.

Hi, Dr. Berg- the quality of this video is super clear and high quality! Thanks for all you do :)

It's called sleep apnea from snoring. Go to a sleep clinic to see how many times you wake up during the night and don't know it. You may be shocked to discover you could be waking up 10 times an hour as it was with me. I would sleep 8-9 hours. In the morning it felt like a couple hours sleep

Your new 60fps video format is soo much better doctor!

[amytowery]

Would love to know why I'm deficient in all the B vitamins despite eating correctly and even taking supplements. Dr. Berg, please, explain! Thanks for all your educational videos!

[erenyurt]

Need more info about magnessium and calcium because you always say take more magnessium and lower your sodıum but this time vice versa

[AbdullahAz]

Sometimes it's sleep apnea, thank you doc

[clumsycoco]

Please cover obstructive sleep apnea.

Not everything is hormonal / chemical . Structural issues are real too.

Dr Berg is there any hope for those of us with Narcolepsy?

[rainydaze]

I've been told I have idiopathic hypersomnia. No matter how much sleep I get, it's like I've had none. This effects my memory, concentration, response time and sometime speech. Please help me.

[dianeknutzen]

You should do a video on narcolepsy. Are there natural reasons that cause this? Are there things in my diet that I can do to help with this?

[SUZIJ]

This could also be due to depression and/or low iron, even anemia.

[mmgibson]

I've always wondered what could be going on inside me that was still making me sleepy during the day despite getting at least 8 hrs. of sleep a night. Except when I was in college!

[hemavbellur]
