Fresh Starts: Better Sleep in the New Year
I have just gotten a sad lamp from a sleep clinic . It’s so bright and my doctor didn’t tell me how far or how to use it. Thanks so much for this explanation, I also find it hard to wake up so I think I might think of getting a sunlight lamp
me watching this at 2am
And iam sitting here with my cat using my sad light watching ur video at 1am and i live in florida 😅
YOUR EYELASHES!
Why are your eyelashes eyelashing mine are so thin…
This secret eyelash hack your doctor doesn’t want you to know about! 😂
After seeing it's only 22$ on amazon and my apartment lights are only 800 lumens I'll give them a try.
Thanks for the list! It's 3 am here and I tend to be one of those overthinkers and get really frustrated about not falling asleep. When in university I used to just try and read the most boring non-fiction book that I had at hand which was sometimes helpful. :D Only thing that doesn't seem to work for me is instrumental music, I've always found that it helps me studying and puts me into a more awake state. I guess for now I'll just go and do some sorting.
I know what you mean! It can be tough when you're naturally an overthinker, but a big part of this is just about trying to find something that works for you (ideally outside of the bedroom!) and then trusting the process a bit.. Thanks for watching anyway, really appreciate it! :) more sleep and energy videos coming!
So how do we use the SAD Lumie Lamp in the right way ? I am a bit confused in terms of best practice. Where can I find the info ? I basically have it on my desk for 30min in the morning 09:30 to 10:00 and in the evening from 16:30 to 17:00 I don't look directly at it it's about an arms lenght and I've just started using it (day 2) Am I doing it right ?
Great question - generally speaking, SAD lamps are best used as a morning therapy. If you use bright light in the later afternoon/evening, your body's internal systems may start to get a bit 'confused' and still think it's the early part of the day. This may disrupt your sleep cycles. Otherwise it sounds like your using it ok.
How is no one talking about this?! Super insightful...didn't know that eye health, skin health and more could be impacted like this.
Yeah, I think it’s the last one that really surprises people.
These videos need more views!! So important to think critically and consider that advertisers really are just trying to sell you stuff rather than having your health in mind lol
Totally! And unless you learn a bit about how these things work, it's hard to know which companies are protecting your health by making products that are safe and effective. Thanks for watching - do share with any you think might find it helpful :)
Bro: the NHS simply isn't there to help you - unless it befits Big Pharma, and THE best way to get good sleep is: learn an AUTHENTIC meditation technique - and USE it regularly. WARNING: Side effects may include: detoxification, diminished reliance on alcohol, diminished reliance on Social Media, diminished reliance on clingy tendencies, increased AVALIABLE time during any given day, more self confidence, a deeper natural knowing, lessening of long term aches and pains, increased capability for the body to heal itself 🙏
Hi - new subscriber here. Thanks for creating your videos. They are interesting and professional, and you have a natural talent for the way you talk and hold yourself. I'm really surprised you haven't got more subscribers. But that is RUclips algorithms for you. Good luck. Looking forward to more videos on productivity, better focus, how to power through sluggish after lunch slumps and advice on when and what you should or shouldn't eat to have good sleep.
Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment (and subscribing!) - I appreciate your kind words. That's *exactly* what I'm hoping to share on here so glad to know it's interesting to you. Do share with anyone else who you think might also find it useful!
Great video, lots of useful information here
Thanks! 🙏 Glad you found it informative :)
Excellent video, thanks for the advice.
Daaaaannng
Thank you. Very clear, well presented and informative. Subscribed!😊
Is there an alarm that is a sad lamp? Why not?
Is there one that does both?
Lol exactly
this a great video, very well edited and informative - thank you!
Thanks - appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment :)
Is it worth it to buy a larger model
if you've got the space, it might be an easier way to get the light intensity you need without it having to be too close to your face.
taurine is terrible for you at a young age you only need taurine when you are a middle aged man becoming old
I absolutely adore the thorough comparison and analysis. Thank you.
No problem! I absolutely adore your comment! :)
Thank you for paying attention to the data. I have a portable one, but I am looking to purchase a floor standing model. I am really looking forward to watching more of your analysis. Not all light is the same, as you say.
Glad it was helpful! What else would you like to know more about these lamps?
100% - you've got my sub too. RUclips needs to prioritise medical advice from actual medical experts like you!
Thanks! 🎉 which Sleep topics do you wish doctors talked more about??
This is exactly your point. Those videos aren't made to help people properly, yet get seen the most. Videos such as this need more attention from people. You earned yourself a sub
Hey, thanks for the kind words! Glad to have you here as a subscriber too :) any thoughts of what you might like to know more about on Sleep and Rest?
@@IntelligentSleeper oh don't worry about it. I will watch some of your older videos
He didn't say which ones are good. I'm looking for one that gives the best light specifically for treating SAD The ones I find are adjustable, which means they can be set to not work properly
Thanks for stopping by! As it happens, over the next few weeks I’m actually going to be making a series of videos on SAD lamps including specifics of the best options to buy for your situation and at different price points! Feel free to pop back in a week or so (or just hit subscribe and RUclips will let you know when it’s released!)
Let me know how you look after your “aliens” 😜 which activities have the biggest impact for you on your gut?
avoiding stress!
Prebiotics = eating oats
i cant sleep im so used to being awake till 5am that the only way for me to actually have a good night is to get tired
I'm sorry it's been so difficult. I'd encourage you to see your doctor even if it feels like you've been struggling with the sleep difficulties for some time.
What if I have adhd and my body clock is messed up anyway
that's a good question. people often reach straight for medicines as the solution, but most people would benefit first from a good foundation of "sleep hygiene". the NHS and other official Sleep organisations provide some good information around this.
Thank you
I've always needed naps since I was a teen. My kids are the same and highly intelligent. A rested brain works more effectively
That's my Dad.
my capillaries working overtime...thanks doc! Perfect timing.

Excellent video, thank you!
thanks for watching!
Does having a cup of coffee in the morning or early afternoon affect our night-time sleep negatively? Or only if we have coffee/caffeine later in the day?
Great Q - caffeine is processed slightly differently between individuals but it typically has a half life of 5hrs or so, which means a quarter of the caffeine in a 10am coffee would still be in your system at 10pm. And so yes, even if you don’t feel the effects of it, it can still disrupt your sleep if you have it too late. “No caffeine past midday” tends to be a fairly sensible way to balance effects on sleep vs enjoying your morning cuppa.
yay a docter
finally...an actual doctor. Doctor 1 - Influencer 0
So underrated
Sent that straight to my mum 😂 thanks
😱no more hot choc binges before bed then..
indeedy
So good Dr J
thanks a lot
You are most welcome :)
Thanks so much for a balanced presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
why you wearing scrubs at home tho ????? hope your not doing any surgery in those ! or you just low key flexing that your a doc ?
Haha this time I was genuinely heading into work (not surgery!) and I promise they’re clean!! (- but you’re right, mainly it is to keep a bit of design consistency with the posts (being a doctor is definitely not much of a flex anyway lol, it’s not a very glamorous profession most of the time! 😂)
That’s actually super fucking cool! I’m glad their going to smaller creators too, best of luck and never give up man❤
👍
a large number of doctors suck. i don’t trust youtube with my health for a second.
no problem, thanks for stopping by anyway... :)
Making the world a much better place Dr, thank you :)))
excuse the late reply! but thank you very much for your kind comment :)
