How I Cured My Sleep Problems

I’ve obsessed over sleep optimization since I was in college, and it peaked in medical school and surgical residency when I was really pushed on time. Here’s what I’ve learned over the last 12 years that you can apply to your own life to get better sleep and stop feeling groggy

Hi Dr. J!! Fellow crohns patient! Ever since I watched your video on how chronic illness changed your life for the better, I have changed my view on IBD from a negative viewpoint to a positive one. Thank you so much!!

How I cured my sleep issues, by taking magnesium Glycinate 200mg after dinner, and going to bed and waking up at the same times, and taking no naps during the day,

I struggle with bad insomnia when I'm not exhausted from school. Takes me about three hours to fall asleep 😔

[kelseykareck]

I’ve been following you for quite some time now but seriously love these hacks. I’ve got blackout curtains on the way and I’m finding ways to limit my light during the night now. Thanks man!

Now, I finally understand why I feel sleepy everytime I visit my friend's house when in fact I have insomnia, they have a yellow light all through out their house. I will buy a yellow bulb right now.Thanks Dr.😊😊😊

I recommend the Glade plugin for a continually nice smell without worrying about it at night

It might also just be metabolic, I was over exercising, under eating and not getting enough carbs which resulted in several nutritional deficiencies after 6 years etc (thought I was being healthy, felt great in the initial years) unknowingly I was putting my body in a catabolic state which will cause the body to stay awake and alert, as it is meant to. Think about what you are doing and what messages you are sending to your central nervous system via the way you eat exercise and live...you might be putting your body in survival mode and its simply doing what its meant to be doing. I cut back and changed the way I exercise opting for more anabolic promoting activities with ample recovery time, ate more frequent balanced meals and also allowed myself to take naps. It has taken a long time for my body to balance out and recover, I now don't even need to bother with or think about sleep hygiene, I get tired and sleep. I hope this helps someone in a similar predicament, the worst part is not knowing what is happening and how to recover.

You really motivated me a lot thanks man

[minam]

I've been listen to my fan and facing it toward/away from me for years now! Doing it right now!! Haha

[triplemgaming]

Kindle Oasis in bed ... I like to crank the text all the way to yellow AND switch to dark mode and dim the text. Very relaxing. The trick then is to find a GOOD book that's interesting and engaging without being too suspenseful/stimulating.

[ruthterry]

I know my son would love a video on your racing sim

[sighange]

The sim setup looks clean!!! Let us know more about it! What games are you on?

For me the main problem is that no matter where I go, my sleep is always defined by the neighbours' noise
