I have much better sleep than I did 10 yrs ago. I use to be considered a noght owl BIG TIME. I take iron because I developed deficiency after menopause 3 years ago. I take vitamin D because I don't get out much anymore and I started magnesium to help me use the bathroom easier since I am disabled. So, it sounds like me adding those 3 supplements to my day has also helped me in a different way. I use to stay up until 2 am. all the time and now I usually head to bed about 9 or 10.😀
Great advice. Thanks for all the tips. For me that’s just not enough vitamin D especially living in Michigan in during the winter. I take between 5000 to 10,000 international units along with vitamin K2. It might sound like a lot but just going out in the sun for 20 minutes. You can get that much during the summer.
I didn’t pick it up but…. It’s probably about taking the vitamin D in the morning. If you take it later or even at dinner it would possibly keep you awake because like you said it’s the sun vitamin. Taking sun before sleep keeps you restless (me at least) doing night shift i tried.
This video is incredibly helpful! The explanation at 2:45 about the benefits of magnesium for sleep really caught my attention. It's amazing how something so simple can make such a big difference. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video but you need much more of 800 IUS of vitamin D especially in the winter time 5,000 IU's is sufficient to get your vitamin D up to Optimal level
Hi! Thanks for watching and for the input! You’re absolutely right-many people may need more than 800 IU of vitamin D, especially during winter. It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the optimal amount based on individual needs.
I'm housebound and after a lot of trial find 20k IU of D3 gives me the best result. (I just feel better). I also take magnesium glycinate, vitamin K2, zinc. My sleep apnea and asthma have gone completely!
Already take Vitamin D, magnesium, iron, B complex, drink chamomile tea night, and I still can't get to sleep. I am 67 years old. I eed sleep. Oh, tried melatonin too. Didn't help either. Any suggestions?
Don't stress out about it that's probably part of your problem just relax your brain is wired differently, go with the flow I suspect you're stressed out.
@ thanks. Take .5 mg of Klonipin at night from my DR. , Prozac during the day and been to therapy for stress. They made me even more stressed out! Just need a ray of hope…….
As to melatonin, I started at 0.5 mg 20 years ago, but I'm now at 3 mg. I think it's possible we develop a tolerance issue. Slowly over time I've had to increase the dose to get the same sedative effect. I'm always shocked at the doses prescribed. I've even seen 3 or 5 mg prescribed for children. It's hard to find 1 mg tablets.
@TheSleepDoctor Yep, every night. I'm on the fence about weaning. I am a minimalist with many things, melatonin being one of them initially because it is naturally produced in the body, but there are now 2 schools of thought with one being melatonin may have extra benefits. I still won't go up unless it becomes necessary. I also use 12.5mg doxylamine succinate at night sometimes for sleep. Can only find 25mg tabs, so I take 1/2 tab occasionally.
Very hard here in UK to get Magnesium Gly, well know health shop here does not do their own but do supply from another company. This is the only one I have found that I would trust to buy. But it is always out of stock wonder why. As for Oxide , you can get it in all stores that sell vits and mins wonder why!? It does cause very loose stools but as I take Amplodine and side effect of that for me is constipation that's fine. One question Can you take both Oxide and Glycinate ? Taking Vit D and Mag Oxide my sleep has improved. Have ordered K2 so will see if that makes it even better.
Blood magnesium does not measure available magnesium since most is locked in bone. The form of the magnesium supplement matters magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed, magnesium sulphate causes diarrhea and only magnesium threonate and glycinate get into the brain. To get vitamin D3 from sunlight you need UVB that varies by latitude, season and time of day and whilst this may raise your blood level to the 40 - 80 ng/ml adequacy band it tells nothing ot the levels of active vitamin D3 after conversion in the kidneys with the elderly often producing an inactive isomer. A daily supplement of 600 IU is laughable since it is what was determined to stop rickets at the start of the last century. The dose needed to raise you r blood level is 5000 to 10,000 IU per day and you can go as high as 30,000 IU per day for a month if it is very low. Care must be taken with iron since is a very strong oxidizing agent that will damage arteries.
Iron supplements r very dangerous. True Cause of low iron is high consumption of carbs/sugar/alcohol!!! If People correct their diet, it’ll fix it. & eating foods high in Iron is the right way.
"I heard there are 5 foods that help the elderly sleep better. I'm so curious! 😍 I wonder if there are some foods I'm eating every day? If anyone knows, please share immediately, so the whole family can improve sleep together." come on 😴✨"
I was watching this --until I saw your recommendations for Vitamin D. Yes, those might be the levels recommended by the FDA, but way too low given that our bodies can absorb WAY WAY more than than from the sun. You need to revise those recommendations, better not to give advice than to give bad advice.
I can only take half a gummy, plus magnesium. It does have 3 mg melatonin , but since I only take half , it's only 1.5 mg . Have to look for another type of gummy without melatonin. Any suggestions?
Adding my cup, melatonin does nothing for my sleep not sure why. Vitamin d3 minimum dose is 4000 IU. All the rest i get more then enough from carnivore lifestyle.
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
Listen to Dr. Andrew Huberman’s podcasts on sleep, particularly the part about getting outside to see the sunrise without sunglasses. Not from a window but actually outside. His podcasts on sleep might just be what you need. This podcast on vitamins is great too. His just has other suggestions as well.
AI doesn’t agree with what you said about magnesium supplements being ineffective if your blood levels are normal. Here is what AI said: Yes, magnesium supplements can potentially help improve sleep even if blood magnesium levels are within the normal range. Magnesium plays a role in relaxing muscles, supporting the function of neurotransmitters like GABA (which promotes relaxation), and regulating the body’s circadian rhythms. These functions can make magnesium helpful for improving sleep quality and reducing insomnia, regardless of current blood levels. For people already within a normal magnesium range, the benefits can vary, as sleep effects might come from magnesium’s impact on calming the nervous system rather than correcting a deficiency. Forms like magnesium glycinate and magnesium threonate are especially noted for their sleep-promoting properties due to their high bioavailability and brain-targeted benefits. However, it’s always wise to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if adding or adjusting a magnesium supplement would be appropriate, particularly as excessive magnesium can cause side effects.
I quit watching the minute.You said you can buy any of these supplements at a drugstore. You should know as a doctor that you need to do some research and buy supplements that you know have in it what they say they do. Lotta snake oil out there.
If you listen to your presentation……you are talking too fast!!! You are hurrying your presentation.!!! Please slow down cause you are giving too much information! Thank you!

Yes 800 IU's is way too low especially in the winter time when you don't get sun you absolutely need at least5,000 Iu by listening to other people functional doctors and from own experience my blood work can testify by supplementing with 5,000 I am at an optimal range
@@marylockwood4400 I never heard of somebody overdosing on vitamin D that's always good to check blood work I take 5,000 in winter time and I have great levels now the majority of people are deficient
Morley Robbins (of 'Root Cause Protocol" fame) cautions against excess Vitamin D. According to him, 5,000 IU of supplemental Vitamin D (taken orally, daily) would be very much in excess of what is healthy. Admittedly, he holds a minority view of this subject: best amount of Vit. D to get every day. He recommends trying to get it thru sun exposure, and/or getting small amounts of it thru taking a high-quality Cod Liver Oid (food based, natural source ... as opposed to where supplement manufacturers typically get large quantities of Vitamin D from), or other foods.

Magnesium Oxide is known to cause diarrhea. This is the most common form found in low quality multivitamins.
There are 7 forms of magnesium. I recommend getting more of the others. Magnesium citrate may also be good for bowel movements.

Much better 🎉

5 - melatonin for seniors and 0.5 mg/day max
Psychologist. A great education.
Vitamin D, Iron, zinc, magnesium
This is 4 he said 5
@nellyb.9340 yup and the last one was melatonin, which I didn't list for a reason. You should be tested for deficiency before taking it .
@ in that case one can argue that the same goes for Vit D also because excess causes toxicity
@nellyb.9340 very rare to be deficient in vit d
@@nellyb.9340 EXTREMELY rare that anyone would have adequate levels of vit d and magnesium - especially in the US

Make sure it's magnesium glycinate. If all else fails, try Ambien and thc/cbd
Ask your doctor for Amitriptyline HCI. I am 61 and been taking it for 20 years. It is cheap and cheerful works great
@@heatherklick3667 prozac can cause insomnia.
Good video , the problem with me is when I take supplements, I can’t sleep, thanks
What to say about Magnesiumtreonat?
I use Ambien for overnight flights. Is this okay? How about when I really need a good night's sleep at home? Okay?
Bad side effects, might be ok if used sporadically.
Thanks , points well taken that I will follow.

You can buy melatonin in liquid form which allows a person to take as little as possible. You can also use an eye dropper.
I would look for GMP certified.
Is it true that magnesium glycinate and magnesium theronate are the best forms of magnesium for sleep because they cross the blood-brain barrier?
Yes
Magnesium glycinate absorbs magnesium the most. I sleep better with it, while others have much less.
Do sun lamps help? I have a Verilux that I like very much.
