In this video, we’re going to talk about sleeping pills and insomnia. I'm also going to show you how to use certain acupressure techniques to help get rid of stress and sleep better. I understand the feeling of not being able to sleep. It can feel like torture. I really want to help you learn the best way to sleep better. 

The two big problems with sleeping pills:

1. 6 out of 10 people experience side effects from sleeping pills
A few side effects of sleeping pills:
• Drowsiness
• Confusion
• Forgetfulness
• Tiredness during the day

2. Sleeping pills may only give you a small amount of extra sleep (less than 30 minutes), and only help you go to sleep 8-20 minutes faster.

How to get rid of insomnia naturally:

1. Read a book instead of watching TV before bed
2. Walk (45-60 minutes) 
3. Stretch before bed
4. Neck technique 
5. Avoid too much caffeine 

Another good remedy for sleep disorders: 
• L-tryptophan (take on an empty stomach) 

The sleep aid I recommend not only has l-tryptophan, but it also has all sorts of other ingredients to help extract stress and allow you to drift off into a wonderful sleep. Not only will it help you get to sleep faster, but it will also help you wake up more refreshed.

Ive found that getting rid of the caffeine has helped me sleep at night. Can now tolerate getting up at 6.30am a lot better.

Dr. Berg Me and my wife use valarian root along with chelated magnesium to help with sleep. I also use ashwaganda. I have lost around 125lbs and my wife lost around 100lbs through fasting and cutting out all the sugar, bread, pasta ect. Thanks for your work you have helped us to understand our bodies and how they work.

Dr. Berg offers the BEST Advise! I've watched his videos since 2015. I relate to how sick he was in his 20's but for me it continued into my 50's and being very ill. One video at a time (I could barely concentrate). I just kept adding to knowledge and applying. In 2020 looking back and greatful for being so much better!
The accumulation of stress in the body causes horrible symptoms if not dealt with.

Just got my massage tool! It was the only thing that helped got rid of my laryngitis in the winter. I wish I would've discovered this channel sooner because I went through hell after being diagnose with laryngitis. I was on numerous different acid reducer medications from the ENT, Gastrologist, Urgent care and twice to the hospital because I kept getting sick with intense chest pain, heart burns and stomach problems. Best thing I learned through here is to not rely so heavily on prescription medications due to side effects. And love to hear and practice his healing techniques for so many things. I decided to not take anymore prescription meds for Seasonal Affective Disorder since they made me gained weight, causes nausea and vomiting, and having suicidal thoughts. To combat SAD I did took natural supplements, use a light therapy box and exercise to keep myself awake. I also followed his Keto and fasting diet and lost 30lbs within 3 months too! Next goal is to slowly weaned off of my sleep med Trazodon 150mg and practicing to sleep naturally.

I can only fall asleep with a book. I also need white noise and total darkness. My problem is waking early and not being able to fall back asleep.

I’ve lost 35 pounds following Dr. Berg’s advice - keto approach and apple cider vinegar + lemon juice before meals. Amazing results and belly fat is finally gone! My 8 year old daughter says to me the other day, “Daddy, where did your tummy go?” Made my day! Thanks for exceptional info and always getting right to the point, Dr. Berg. What a blessing you are. 👍🏻

I was plagued with insomnia for years.
Since almost immediately after giving up gluten EVERY THING changed!!!
I now thank Gd sleep like a baby.

I've had severe chronic insomnia for about 20 years. Tried Everything. Thanks for all your sleep videos. Still working on it but all these things are for people with regular insomnia, not severe chronic insomnia. Your videos have been helpful in my research. Working on the cortisol issue now, but I feel like I'm still missing allot of information.

Amazing. I needed that I have been suffering with Insomnia for years.

When you have 60k in credit card debt .. i finally had the ability to pay it off ... after years of stress my body still couldn't sleep because now it wasn't used to having no stress .. months later im adjusting and don't let anyone minimize the effects of financial problems .. it can literally destroy you

I was hooked on Ambien for along time, not because I needed sleep, but because they gave me a good buzz, yes they are an opiate. Withdrawing from them caused many side effects, including jacking up my BP, and major nausea, but I haven't had one in almost a year now, and no longer crave them. I also started keto at the same time I quit them, which was a good plan, because Ambein made me unbelievably hungry, eating an entire large pizza by myself, was not uncommon after taking an Ambien.
