Dr. Axe is spot on when he talks about taking certain supplements on a short term basis only, such as Melatonin and Valerian Root. I nearly died of liver failure in 2005 when I took a combination of Valerian Root, Melatonin, GABA, Hops, Passionflower, and 5HTP over a 9 day period. At first, I took the recommended dosage, but that didn't work, so I increased the dosage to two or three times the recommended dosage. My skin, nails, and eyes turned yellow and it felt like I had a horrible case of the flu. I became so weak and felt like I was dying, because I was dying. I drove myself to the E.R. and could barely walk into the E.R. As soon as the E.R. nurse saw me, she called a "STAT", and within five minutes I was placed on a gurney and hooked up to IV fluids. I spent nine miserable days in the hospital and a local clergy was called in to talk to me in case I didn't make it through. I had Heparin injections in my belly every day, my urine was dark amber, and I was as weak as a newborn kitten. After I was released from the hospital, it took me well over a year to recover. I've suffered insomnia for decades now and found out the hard way that OTC 'natural' sleep remedies can be just as dangerous as pharmaceuticals when you overdose on them. It's not something to mess with. I will try Dr. Axe's recommendations for insomnia. It's time for me to try something different to conquer this lifelong battle.
@X X No. There's no cure. I was put on 25 MG Seroquel to take 2 hours before bedtime. That worked a few weeks, then I had to take 50 MG nightly. After a few weeks, that didn't work, so I tried 75 MG nightly and that caused chest pain and high blood pressure, so I went back down to 50 MG and began taking cannabis edibles with the 50 MG Seroquel. The cannabis edibles helps me sleep better, but used to make me anxious for about an hour or so. But taken with Seroquel, it helps decrease the cannabis anxiety and helps me sleep. I tapered the Seroquel down to 25 MG last night, and still did the edible, and it seems to lessen the 'hangover' the next day.

***** about 2 weeks ago i had my gallbladder removed. after the first few days after surgery, i felt pretty good, not much stress or anxiety, and i could sleep pretty good. then suddenly one day, for no apparent reason at all, i started feeling a TON of anxiety and stress and im also experiencing a lot of insomnia with it. i have no idea why im feeling these things, im not dwelling on anything, my life is pretty good. but bascially, constantly during the day, i feel stressed out, and its like i have permanent butterflies in my stomach. some times during the day, ill start to feel really good again and normal, and then all of a sudden that stress and anxiety creeps back up again full blast. i went back to my doctor for my follow up on my surgery, i told him about the stress and anxiety and insomnia ive been having. they did some blood work and showed that my white blood cell count was around 14,000, higher than normal. the doctor put me on the antibiotic ciprofloxacin because he believes i might have a small infection in my body somewhere, leading to my high white blood cell count. for the anxiety and insomnia he put me on hydroxyzine 25mg, which seems to be hardly working at all. its been 5 days now since being on the prescription, and im still having the same problems. there seems to be no improvment. what's strange is that even though im hardly getting any sleep, i dont feel tired or sleepy during the days. i feel wired almost, but i have no apparent reason to be wired. i get somewhat sleepy before bed, but even then its like im wide awake and alert. is it possible the drugs arent helping or making it worse? i dont know what else to do, ive treid almost every trick and technique i can think of, including yours. i just want to be able to sleep again... i cant see how people can go years like this. ive had it only for about a week and i feel like im about to go crazy. i just dont know what else to do...
my case is a little bit different, you know when im about to have a dream, and in a second it always cut off... and by the time i wake up my legs and arms suddenly weakens, for me i can have a dream if i close my eyes for 1 min or so, but this keeps happening, it soo scary, help. not to mention my heart beats fast.

Best advice is to set an alarm & force yourself to get out of bed at 7:00 A.M, regardless of whether you went to bed at 6:00A.M & force yourself to stay awake until the next night. Then use the advice in the video.
I had severe insomnia for half a decade now. Here are some tips that helped me: 1) The first thing that helped me was Magnesium Chelate (Nature's Way brand) 2) Eliminated dairy and butter from diet completely (helped a lot) 3) Stopped consuming all the processed foods and drinking soda 4) I try not to eat anything after 6:00pm in order to go to bad at midnight 5) I go to bed at the same time every night 6) I spend more time outside in the sun 7) I eat more fruits and vegetables 8) I quit smoking 9) I removed amalgam fillings from my teeth 10) I exercise whenever i can ...and i still have the fuc@#$% insomnia. It definitely got better but it's not the deep restful sleep. Now i don't have problems falling asleep but i wake up 20 minutes later for no reason. In the morning i wake up all tired and broken like the mattress slept on me, not the other way around. Major difference now is when i wake up in the middle of night (which is about 50 times) i can usually go back to sleep where as before that was impossible - i'd pretty much have to get up. What do you think of 5-HTP supplement? Has anyone tried it? Thanks!
+Mickey Bauer Going to bed at midnight may be your problem. Circadian rhythms dictate that we go to bed between 9 and 11pm. If you wait much longer after 11 then your body assumes you need to stay up and gives you a second wind keeping you awake.
Mickey Bauer Are you sure you don't suffer from sleep apnea? You may need to go in for a sleep study and have them observe you and test for that. You may wake up that many times because your breathing is irregular (usually you don't know you have sleep apnea but think you suffer from insomnia) if that's the case they'll give you a cpap machine.
Wow, 5 years? So lucky. Mine was more than 20. Now it happens in short periods when something of particular stress is occurring. But I get more sleep & better sleep overall. I illuminated many stressful issues, people, situations that were constants in my life. Also, the magnesium advice is very beneficial & lots of physical activity (especially outdoors when possible), something as simple as walking.
my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on RUclips it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well
Spot on. I suffered! with insomnia, and took Zoloft because I thought I had anxiety. Just yesterday, I found a 1/2 bottle, and tossed it away. Last month, I changed my diet, started journaling, and reading, and I sleep great now! Granted I NEED to start exercising still. Suggested book - The Lakota Way

He has mentioned all the techniques and tips I've read in 2 books. Also, a breathing and meditation technique along with the use of earthing and light boxes may be something to look into for serious insomniacs.

He's sooooo right! To anyone struggling with sleep, I had bad insomina for 4 months. I was eating waaaaay too many carbs and my blood sugar was super high. I went keto and stopped eating processed carbs and only ate very, very small amounts of fruit each day (a few strawberries in a smoothie maybe). After a couple of weeks of dropping processed carbs, my sleep slowly began to return. My body was stressed from consuming too much processed carbs and even too much fruit can do damage. I also loaded up on leafy greens, potassium (from wheatgrass juice) and tons of nutrients.

@@esterwyman I hear ya. I actually don't do it anymore but still keep my carbs low. It was too hard for me to stick with it. The health benefits are still there though because added sugar is down and processed food consumption is low! It's about balancing and moderation at the end of the day.
you're awesome Dr Axe i was looking for natural remedies to hhelp with palpitations and it brought me here, but I learn a lot from you and I know as from today I will have better night sleep. that can save a lot of people lives. Thanks for sharing your wisdom God bless you.
+VintageBlus Well I slept at 6 am now its almost 4pm. this video didnt helped me. though I played a music by Enigma called Callas went away on my headphones and I slept.
Thank you Dr. Axe. I will try these steps. For two weeks now, I can fall asleep but I only stay asleep for 2 or 2.5 hours. I've started to walk everyday (up a mountain) for exercise.
hi my dear .how was your sleeping? Had you days without any sleep? I mean 0 hour. Second question: how was the quality of sleep ? I mean your sleep is very very light sleep and you feel everything surrounded you , and interrupted? Third question: you never feel sleepy during the day? Just exhausted, even if you to sleep.sorry for a-lot of questions but i need a support.
im 14. ive been suffering from insomnia for 3 years. i told my parents that i cant sleep , they wont listen to me. so this video is super usefull for me. thank u very much for these tips. i owe u .
OH my god, trust me I understand, insomnia isnt something people are able to talk about if theynever experienced it. Theres a vidoe on my channel about insomnia maybe that can help?
I am doing a lot of these things suggested in the video and my insomnia comes and goes - which I think is linked to my stress levels and not getting to sleep causes more stress (like a vicious circle!) - however I have not tried reading which I think could be a solution - weird how I read to my 3 year old son every night to get him to sleep yet I have not even tried doing it myself - talk about not doing what is right in front of you!
Sleeping is hard even for 'normal' people especially in these times and it is proven that listening to music before bed induces and leads to better sleep throughout the nights❤😴
Something tells me you don't suffer from a sleep disorder. Lol. If it was as easy as listening to some soft music or a rainstorm then this video would not have been made.
Thank you very much Dr. Josh for sharing this awesome tips, which I founf very useful and I will use your tips becauseactually I am having insomia which makes me feel tired in the morning and in a bad mood. I hope insomia goes away!
Thanks Dr. Axe, it is actually so useful, am gonna follow all the steps, because it's been 4 years I suffer insomnia since I was 15, so to be honest am really fed up with all depression and sleep pills, they kinda make me drunk, thanks again!
I had insomnia for a whole month, and what helped me get my sleep back was Yogi Bedtime tea, plus meditation to stop worrying about the future so much.
I like that you started with such basic but rarely mentioned thing as the diet. It unpleasant to hear such thing and many bloggers omit this. Keep it up. I would add one more tip. Since last month I got hooked on SLEEPHYPNOPILL guided hypnosis. Just downloaded it on my phone for battery to keep on longer and that's the thing.
Thanks Dr. Axe!... I never tried some of those methods for my insomnia and some of them have worked!. I’ve been trying to stop taking ambien which I’ve been taking off and on for a few years but even that doesn’t even work. So thank you so much. I really enjoy your channel. Much love 😊
Dr. Axe, I had a panic/anxiety attack about 4 months ago and ever since I haven't felt the same. I began to experience insomnia. Last week I began taking Magnesium Citrate and I've felt a big difference in my body. I also watched how to over come anxiety with breathing and such and I've felt pretty good. My question is, what else should I try to be able to beat this insomnia. I go to bed and just can't fall asleep. I toss and turn even being so tired. My doctor tested me on so many things but all have come back "normal". I feel all she wants to do is prescribe meds all the time. She put me on Zoloft 50mg when I clearly told her I didn't feel depressed. I was crying on one of my appointments and she came to that conclusion. I haven't been taking them since she brought the dose up because I am not depressed. She also prescribed sleep meds which I stopped taking them about 2 days ago to see if I could sleep but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as I felt relaxed I would feel startled. I toss and turn. ugh.. could I have high cortisol levels at night time that keep me from relaxing and going to sleep? what can I do about it? I've changed my diet even more now. I'm eating more greens and seeds and fish in hopes of giving my body more nutrients. I've searched and searched and know meds aren't going to help me but change in diet and taking the right vitamins and supplements will. What advice can you give me? I'm planning to change doctors but I know I'll get another one that will only prescribe me more meds and I want to do this more natural. Any information would be greatly appreciated. :-)
During school breaks my sleeping routine gets messed up so I fall asleep at about 5-7 AM and wake up at 1-2 PM and miss half of the day. Does this happen to anyone else?
How about grounding to mother earth? Seems to work for me and has plenty of studies to back it up!! Much deeper sleep as well with lots of vivid dreams.. Best to sleep grounded imo...
Some great points Dr Axe, regarding how and when to take supplements and on a short term basis. Yes a lot things contribute to poor sleep, Eliminate or get better control of them. And yes that holistic approach does work.
I'm already taking magnesium (nature's calm) which helps on days my stress is low. On higher stress days It's hard for me to stay asleep even after journaling, tapping/meditating and cutting off electronics an hour before bed. I stick to protein and fat sources before bed as well. I usually dream every night but I wake up very groggy. I was thinking of adding in 5 htp or gaba but don't want to become dependent. Any recommendations?
Thanks for your tips doctor. I'm going to try some of them I have a question concerning the magnesium supplement: Do I need to take a calcium supplement along with the magnesium one?
I didn't sleep too well last night, my job will be closing. And all of my coworkers get to pick where other job they can pick to work at another site. I picked this one site and I've been given second thoughts about it. I think I made a mistake and I hope its not too late to fix it.
Thank you dear Dr I have never knew about tips that you mention here and now by lestining this I am sure they will work to me. I am struggling with insomnia and I did not really know what to do . Thanks again
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about sleeping problem remedies try Fezervin Beat Insomnia Coach (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
I almost gave up treating the dreadful sleeping disorders I have encountered for 2 years. But ever since I used this sleep plan tinyurl.com/Insomnia55 my sleeping trouble was vanished and sleeping in my bed just felt great. Use this product, you won`t regret it. I was the biggest doubter but now I`m the biggest believer.?
I do the salts with lavender baths. Still have trouble sleeping. Have a banana and yogurt before bed. Nothing's been working. I do need to cut out some evening carbs and exercise more. Oils sound a good idea. I do need a new bed though and use phone less.
i have suffer from insomnia for 9 years since i was 14 till now 23 of course because of my thoughts its like crazy when im trying to sleep but i think the main reason why i cant sleep at night.. is because i have Obsessive-compulsive disorder, i have these 2 fit behaviour which is nail biting and hair pulling (trichotillomania:since i was 11) hair pulling isnt a joke..its embrassing. last time i tried meditate.. its work!!! i can fall asleep less than 5 minutes..but sadly that was the first and last time it happen..maybe im not concentrate enough or maybe my obsessive compulsive disorder over taking me
Sister... Try doing yoga and prayanama for once... Pranayama like Anlom vilom and Bhramari help a lot in easing down all those stressful shitty things going on in your brain... It will also help with concentration
damn i got OCD too plus i have ADHD so yeah ive had insomnia for almost 2 years so i feel you on that shit and im almost 27. one thing thats really good for sleep as well a countless other things is turmeric. Its the best spice on the planet and thats no understatement either lol.
If I could fall asleep laying next to you, I'd never need to take another pill ever again, just holding you in my arms is all I would ever need to be perfectly happy and content for the rest of my life, your wife is one very very lucky woman!
I find wearing orange blue blocker glasses an hour or two before I go to sleep really helps. And you can wear them while on the computer or watching television. When I wear them, it definitely helps me sleep better.
Hi Josh, really impressive videos. I just wondered what to do to help with bags under my eyes? Also my scalp occasionally gets very itchy every evening. Thanks
Please help those of us with sleep maintenance insomnia. It seems to be from cortisol rising too early. No worrying, no mental racing or worry, just simply wake up as of it's time to wake but 2 or 3 hours too soon. Getting to sleep beforehand is as easy as it always was. Getting back to sleep is usually impossible, even with taking supplements after waking or doing relaxation or any other techniques.
I find that having my tv turned on helps me fall asleep. I usually put on one of the nature channels and end up falling asleep, not because I find nature boring but perhaps because it relaxes me :) I find it extremely hard to fall asleep without the tv turned on and my mind chatter will literally keep me awake till morning if I do not distract it. To much on my mind I guess.
What works for me is to not think about any stressful problems, and use and orange light at night, I think it works because it is similar in color to a sunrise and resets the brain. I have been trying this for a while and it works everytime. It seem like something some scientists might want to check into for verification.
I am retired, over 70, and worked minutes for 40 years. Can't sleep. Tried lavender oil may have used too much too strong. At my age I am going for the doctor prescribed sleeping pill. You are just too cute young man. Love your advice.
I shut down my technology before I sleep and than I start writing and wait til I can't keep my eyes open but than as I close my eyes I start thinking about things that hurts me or worries me. I REALLY can't sleep and I tried to talk to my mother about but she doesn't understand it started 2014
Try to walk about 3 mile every morning and do exercise atleast 20 minutes and you will find your self tired eat healthy diet no carbs in dinner eat bananas with oatmeal add 2 tablespoon of honey hope can help your problem God bless you...

Great tips! I particularly find the first one is where most people struggle with. When I get hungry at night I like to add some nuts which have great fats as well.
There are many components to relieving sleeplessness naturally. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Trevs Sleep Blueprint (google it if you're interested) definately the best plan that I have ever heard of. Check out the awesome information .
I only slept 3 hours in total for the past 2 days . And I don't feel tire at all which is really scary :( . I am scared of bed time :,(. Can I try banana instead of avocado ?
I had horrible insomnia for Nine months, the only way I could sleep was by taking medications. Finally my physician recommended this sleep plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* After Five weeks, I attained the best sleep of my life. I cannot advise it enough, especially for long term insomniacs. My sleeping has drastically improved!?
Ever since I stopped eating grains and dairy 3 weeks ago my insomnia has gotten worst. Is this a normal symptom of detox or withdrawal? Will it ever get better?
Thanks Dr. Axe, I've been utilizing that magnesium for my sleep troubles. And I've had trouble sleeping all of my life! Thank you for your help! ~~~Nancy
It is widely believed that insomnia and other sleep issues could be related to us staring at screens while in bed. The idea is that these screens emit large amounts of blue light, which fools our brains into thinking it’s day time, and hence, not time for sleeping. There’s way too many factors that affect sleeping. To have a good night sleep is turning down the brightness on all our screens and get anti-bluelight screen filter like ocushield as it will help protect our eyes from the harmful bluelight.
here's my story. i stayed up all the time during the weekends ( im talking 3 and 4 am) and when it came down to school nights, i was terrified of not being able to fall asleep. i would force myself to sleep, but it didn't work, and i'd just cry. crying everyday, turned around and made me depressed. i would just eat, and play on my computer ALL day. and going to sleep, having panic attacks, i don't like. i stopped my body from doing all these things. i wouldn't stay up past 11 and i'd wake up at 6:50 everyday. and surprisingly, it worked. today marks a month since i first experienced my "insomnia attack" and i feel amazing.
Just wear a pair of orange or red colored glasses (prescription or plain glasses) for two or three hours before bedtime.Experiment for one month. Sleep will improve dramatically. There are numerous websites detailing how this types of glasses can block blue lights from entering into your eyes and increase the melatolin supply into the brain really significantly.For me at least the improvements are simply unprecedented.Light is a very overlooked criterion ever to be discussed by anybody,even medics, when they discuss insomnia.
After years of insomnia, I have my diet and exercise under control. Quieting my mind happens when I hold my breath. I hold it until I feel like I'll pass out, then catch my breath and do it again. Forcing the CO2 into my blood is a sedative. Oxygen is a stimulant. I swear by it. My mind calms down, and I fall asleep. It usually only takes five deep holds
Nice vid here doc, nice info, your video helps millions of people now, hope your channel grow more. this topic is the reason why Ive decided to include some sleeping music at my channel, to help others from their stressfull nights.
There is no one accually in the world who can figure out why You your personal self cannot sleep, but your body is a miracle and if you can't sleep for a few weeks it's ok because your body will tell itself ok I'm tired now it's time to sleep

Brodha Sattva I cannot fall asleep or staying asleep it’s robbing me terribly!
Same I’ve been sleep deprived for months
Me too😓
Same here
exactly. I can totally relate
Doctors and people always say to reduce stress. But as i try to sleep just i start to think i cant sleep and the result is that cant sleep whole night
Walk 2 hour before sleep. Do it for 2 months.
The 30mins relaxing my mind / break before bed actually work. Got a 10 hours deep sleep today it feels so good

***** about 2 weeks ago i had my gallbladder removed. after the first few days after surgery, i felt pretty good, not much stress or anxiety, and i could sleep pretty good. then suddenly one day, for no apparent reason at all, i started feeling a TON of anxiety and stress and im also experiencing a lot of insomnia with it. i have no idea why im feeling these things, im not dwelling on anything, my life is pretty good. but bascially, constantly during the day, i feel stressed out, and its like i have permanent butterflies in my stomach. some times during the day, ill start to feel really good again and normal, and then all of a sudden that stress and anxiety creeps back up again full blast. i went back to my doctor for my follow up on my surgery, i told him about the stress and anxiety and insomnia ive been having. they did some blood work and showed that my white blood cell count was around 14,000, higher than normal. the doctor put me on the antibiotic ciprofloxacin because he believes i might have a small infection in my body somewhere, leading to my high white blood cell count. for the anxiety and insomnia he put me on hydroxyzine 25mg, which seems to be hardly working at all. its been 5 days now since being on the prescription, and im still having the same problems. there seems to be no improvment. what's strange is that even though im hardly getting any sleep, i dont feel tired or sleepy during the days. i feel wired almost, but i have no apparent reason to be wired. i get somewhat sleepy before bed, but even then its like im wide awake and alert. is it possible the drugs arent helping or making it worse? i dont know what else to do, ive treid almost every trick and technique i can think of, including yours. i just want to be able to sleep again... i cant see how people can go years like this. ive had it only for about a week and i feel like im about to go crazy. i just dont know what else to do...

This might be good advice for someone with mild case of insomnia. But in severe cases, eating an avocado or having lavender won't do much
Well that sucks because I was hoping that would help.
Menopause will destroy your sleep.
Lavender can get sickly and who wants to eat an advocado
Ylang Ylang is an essential oil that helps me almost as much as Zopiclone. It's much more potent than lavender.
Best advice is to set an alarm & force yourself to get out of bed at 7:00 A.M, regardless of whether you went to bed at 6:00A.M & force yourself to stay awake until the next night. Then use the advice in the video.
I had severe insomnia for half a decade now. Here are some tips that helped me:
1) The first thing that helped me was Magnesium Chelate (Nature's Way brand)
2) Eliminated dairy and butter from diet completely (helped a lot)
3) Stopped consuming all the processed foods and drinking soda
4) I try not to eat anything after 6:00pm in order to go to bad at midnight
5) I go to bed at the same time every night
6) I spend more time outside in the sun
7) I eat more fruits and vegetables
8) I quit smoking
9) I removed amalgam fillings from my teeth
10) I exercise whenever i can
...and i still have the fuc@#$% insomnia.
It definitely got better but it's not the deep restful sleep. Now i don't have problems falling asleep but i wake up 20 minutes later for no reason. In the morning i wake up all tired and broken like the mattress slept on me, not the other way around. Major difference now is when i wake up in the middle of night (which is about 50 times) i can usually go back to sleep where as before that was impossible - i'd pretty much have to get up.
What do you think of 5-HTP supplement? Has anyone tried it?
Thanks!
+Mickey Bauer Going to bed at midnight may be your problem. Circadian rhythms dictate that we go to bed between 9 and 11pm. If you wait much longer after 11 then your body assumes you need to stay up and gives you a second wind keeping you awake.

Mickey Bauer Are you sure you don't suffer from sleep apnea? You may need to go in for a sleep study and have them observe you and test for that. You may wake up that many times because your breathing is irregular (usually you don't know you have sleep apnea but think you suffer from insomnia) if that's the case they'll give you a cpap machine.
Ciro Di Napoli. I was thinking the same. She should have sleep study done.
Wow, 5 years? So lucky. Mine was more than 20. Now it happens in short periods when something of particular stress is occurring. But I get more sleep & better sleep overall. I illuminated many stressful issues, people, situations that were constants in my life.
Also, the magnesium advice is very beneficial & lots of physical activity (especially outdoors when possible), something as simple as walking.
I am currently recovering from COVID. One of the things I am dealing with is insomnia. I truly hope this video helps me
feeling restless ? having trouble to rest ? check us out and hope this help ❣️
my mom suffered insomnia illness/ hyperthyroidism for 6 years, she thought of commiting suicide so many times because of depression, pains not able to take care of the house! but she's getting better now after taking the natural herbs and body cleanser from dr moses on RUclips it wasn't easy she took the medicine for 2 weeks and everything started getting normal again, I'm so happy she's ok now thanks to dr moses his herbal supplement truly work's perfectly well
How are feeling now
@@lakshmideepagowda9716 I'm mostly back to normal

Spot on. I suffered! with insomnia, and took Zoloft because I thought I had anxiety. Just yesterday, I found a 1/2 bottle, and tossed it away. Last month, I changed my diet, started journaling, and reading, and I sleep great now! Granted I NEED to start exercising still. Suggested book - The Lakota Way
That's awesome Takawi Peters, I'm glad your insomnia has gotten better!
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else trying to find out a perfect nights sleep try Melatrol Sleep With Ease (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

I love this video and will try all mentioned and pass it on to my friends. Thank you so much for caring enough to share and make the community well.
He has mentioned all the techniques and tips I've read in 2 books. Also, a breathing and meditation technique along with the use of earthing and light boxes may be something to look into for serious insomniacs.
What is earthing? I know what a lightbox is.
Thank you very much Josh for your advice and comments, especially re insomnia.
1. Change your diet
2. Reduce stress
3. Take supplements
4. Change your lifestyle

Theworld isimmense your right the days where i don’t think about it i easily sleep 9 hours
I have a well balanced life style,no stress, good diet., what else do you advise
Brother thanks so much for this video. May God bless you.
Thank you very much Dr. Axe. I tried the simplest method, shutting off all screens, last night and it really helped.
Great suggestions. In my channel I only use videos with a TOTAL DARK SCREEN. Do you think it helps?
He's sooooo right! To anyone struggling with sleep, I had bad insomina for 4 months. I was eating waaaaay too many carbs and my blood sugar was super high.
I went keto and stopped eating processed carbs and only ate very, very small amounts of fruit each day (a few strawberries in a smoothie maybe).
After a couple of weeks of dropping processed carbs, my sleep slowly began to return. My body was stressed from consuming too much processed carbs and even too much fruit can do damage.
I also loaded up on leafy greens, potassium (from wheatgrass juice) and tons of nutrients.

I don’t do Fad Diet’s
@@esterwyman I hear ya. I actually don't do it anymore but still keep my carbs low. It was too hard for me to stick with it.
The health benefits are still there though because added sugar is down and processed food consumption is low! It's about balancing and moderation at the end of the day.
Whenever I give up sweets or go low with the sweets, I don't sleep too long. Around 4 hours
you're awesome Dr Axe i was looking for natural remedies to hhelp with palpitations and it brought me here, but I learn a lot from you and I know as from today I will have better night sleep. that can save a lot of people lives. Thanks for sharing your wisdom God bless you.
I can't sleep till 6 am or 7 am :/
Same. Also, I lose my appetite.
+VintageBlus me too, its making me go crazy ! I dont eat proper dont sleep proper.

+VintageBlus Well I slept at 6 am now its almost 4pm. this video didnt helped me. though I played a music by Enigma called Callas went away on my headphones and I slept.
Hassani King
did you end up fixing your sleep?
Thank you Dr. Axe. I will try these steps. For two weeks now, I can fall asleep but I only stay asleep for 2 or 2.5 hours. I've started to walk everyday (up a mountain) for exercise.
How is your sleeping now ?
hi my dear .how was your sleeping? Had you days without any sleep? I mean 0 hour. Second question: how was the quality of sleep ? I mean your sleep is very very light sleep and you feel everything surrounded you , and interrupted? Third question: you never feel sleepy during the day? Just exhausted, even if you to sleep.sorry for a-lot of questions but i need a support.
im 14. ive been suffering from insomnia for 3 years. i told my parents that i cant sleep , they wont listen to me. so this video is super usefull for me. thank u very much for these tips. i owe u .
OH my god, trust me I understand, insomnia isnt something people are able to talk about if theynever experienced it. Theres a vidoe on my channel about insomnia maybe that can help?
Maimuna, How is your sleep now?
I am doing a lot of these things suggested in the video and my insomnia comes and goes - which I think is linked to my stress levels and not getting to sleep causes more stress (like a vicious circle!) - however I have not tried reading which I think could be a solution - weird how I read to my 3 year old son every night to get him to sleep yet I have not even tried doing it myself - talk about not doing what is right in front of you!
Sleeping is hard even for 'normal' people especially in these times and it is proven that listening to music before bed induces and leads to better sleep throughout the nights❤😴
Something tells me you don't suffer from a sleep disorder. Lol. If it was as easy as listening to some soft music or a rainstorm then this video would not have been made.
@@jessicataylor1930Exactly!
That music will continue playing in my head when I try to switch off my brain. I get a headache from trying to calm my brain.
Thank you very much Dr. Josh for sharing this awesome tips, which I founf very useful and I will use your tips becauseactually I am having insomia which makes me feel tired in the morning and in a bad mood. I hope insomia goes away!
Thanks Dr. Axe, it is actually so useful, am gonna follow all the steps, because it's been 4 years I suffer insomnia since I was 15, so to be honest am really fed up with all depression and sleep pills, they kinda make me drunk, thanks again!
Great tips! Dr. Josh Axe offers some really helpful natural remedies for improving sleep quality. Definitely going to try some of these out!
I had insomnia for a whole month, and what helped me get my sleep back was Yogi Bedtime tea, plus meditation to stop worrying about the future so much.
In other words, insomnia is a mental problem
Yogi bedtime tea how long you take it before bed and how many bags you use thank you
I've been saying half of these tips for years, especially soaking in Epsom salts baths and aromatherapy. Thank you for the great tips +Dr. Axe.😊
I cannot sleep at night and day my age 34 l take lot of sleeping pills now sleeping also not helping
What a great video. I am going to try this from now on. I haven't slept in 24 hours, and I feel horrible. This was very great info. Thank you!
No don't work
Not true for all
Thank you Dr. Axe I wrote down some great notes for me to use to help me get some good sleep I am definitely sharing this!
I like that you started with such basic but rarely mentioned thing as the diet. It unpleasant to hear such thing and many bloggers omit this. Keep it up. I would add one more tip. Since last month I got hooked on SLEEPHYPNOPILL guided hypnosis. Just downloaded it on my phone for battery to keep on longer and that's the thing.
Thanh’s Dr. Axe your work. On Insomnia is magnificent. Dr. Luis Bueno Eggharbortownship NJ
Dr Axe, do you recommend taking Gaba, L-theanine, Magnolia Bark and 5 HTP supplement?
Fantastic video, thank you so much. Very helpful.
Your presenttion was brief, understandable, and I think it will help. THANK YOU
Thank you. I'm at wits end. I shall try these today and this evening and let you know x
Thanks Dr. Axe!... I never tried some of those methods for my insomnia and some of them have worked!. I’ve been trying to stop taking ambien which I’ve been taking off and on for a few years but even that doesn’t even work. So thank you so much. I really enjoy your channel. Much love 😊
Dr. Axe, I had a panic/anxiety attack about 4 months ago and ever since I haven't felt the same. I began to experience insomnia. Last week I began taking Magnesium Citrate and I've felt a big difference in my body. I also watched how to over come anxiety with breathing and such and I've felt pretty good. My question is, what else should I try to be able to beat this insomnia. I go to bed and just can't fall asleep. I toss and turn even being so tired. My doctor tested me on so many things but all have come back "normal". I feel all she wants to do is prescribe meds all the time. She put me on Zoloft 50mg when I clearly told her I didn't feel depressed. I was crying on one of my appointments and she came to that conclusion. I haven't been taking them since she brought the dose up because I am not depressed. She also prescribed sleep meds which I stopped taking them about 2 days ago to see if I could sleep but couldn't fall asleep. As soon as I felt relaxed I would feel startled. I toss and turn. ugh.. could I have high cortisol levels at night time that keep me from relaxing and going to sleep? what can I do about it? I've changed my diet even more now. I'm eating more greens and seeds and fish in hopes of giving my body more nutrients. I've searched and searched and know meds aren't going to help me but change in diet and taking the right vitamins and supplements will. What advice can you give me? I'm planning to change doctors but I know I'll get another one that will only prescribe me more meds and I want to do this more natural. Any information would be greatly appreciated. :-)
You may have high cortisol and adrenal fatigue
As a post-menopausal woman progesterone topical cream really helped me.
Not sure if that applies
I have a big problem in this area...thank you Dr. Axe!
Listen to him made me fall sleep ...thanx
😂😂😂
Dr. Axe, thank you for your amazing tips. Thank you!
During school breaks my sleeping routine gets messed up so I fall asleep at about 5-7 AM and wake up at 1-2 PM and miss half of the day. Does this happen to anyone else?
Lewis Thomas 14 happens exactly to me
Lewis Thomas 14 currently happening to me. but I got some strong sleep aids
Lewis Thomas 14 Yeah me too I go back to school in one day and I can't sleep
That's exactly the time I fall sleep and wake up. Idk what's up with me
Same
How about grounding to mother earth? Seems to work for me and has plenty of studies to back it up!! Much deeper sleep as well with lots of vivid dreams.. Best to sleep grounded imo...
Hope this tips save my fvking life of struggling insomnia
Some great points Dr Axe, regarding how and when to take supplements and on a short term basis. Yes a lot things contribute to poor sleep, Eliminate or get better control of them. And yes that holistic approach does work.
I'm already taking magnesium (nature's calm) which helps on days my stress is low. On higher stress days It's hard for me to stay asleep even after journaling, tapping/meditating and cutting off electronics an hour before bed. I stick to protein and fat sources before bed as well. I usually dream every night but I wake up very groggy. I was thinking of adding in 5 htp or gaba but don't want to become dependent. Any recommendations?
Thanks for give advice I need always
Was watching this video at 1:30am and then he mentioned to cut down on screens -_-
I'm the exact same. It's 1:29 now and I'm still on my phone
it's five am and I've been up since two am
yeah the same with me its 2 am right now where I am and everything keeps me awake
the irony haha
Well shit i was awake since 5 am no joke
Thanks Dr. Axe, very helpful & make a lot of sense.
Thanks for your tips doctor. I'm going to try some of them
I have a question concerning the magnesium supplement: Do I need to take a calcium supplement along with the magnesium one?
It's good to learn this from a real doctor!
Thank you .. I love it
thanks Dr Axe. I love it when doctors have different solutions to overcome insomnia other than sleeping pills as I'm all about natural sleep cures.
Omg I am blown away that is exactly what it is thank you
I didn't sleep too well last night, my job will be closing. And all of my coworkers get to pick where other job they can pick to work at another site. I picked this one site and I've been given second thoughts about it. I think I made a mistake and I hope its not too late to fix it.
This is the best advice I have seen anywhere on the net for insomnia - thank you. Off to buy some lavender and epsom salts.
So it's 6am and still haven't fell asleep yet should I just try to sleep still or just get up and continue my day since it's my day off 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Thank you dear Dr
I have never knew about tips that you mention here and now by lestining this I am sure they will work to me. I am struggling with insomnia and I did not really know what to do .
Thanks again
I have insomnia and this video put me to sleep
😂
Srsly?
hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about sleeping problem remedies try Fezervin Beat Insomnia Coach (just google it ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
😂
I almost gave up treating the dreadful sleeping disorders I have encountered for 2 years. But ever since I used this sleep plan tinyurl.com/Insomnia55 my sleeping trouble was vanished and sleeping in my bed just felt great. Use this product, you won`t regret it. I was the biggest doubter but now I`m the biggest believer.?
I do the salts with lavender baths. Still have trouble sleeping. Have a banana and yogurt before bed. Nothing's been working. I do need to cut out some evening carbs and exercise more. Oils sound a good idea. I do need a new bed though and use phone less.
i have suffer from insomnia for 9 years since i was 14 till now 23
of course because of my thoughts its like crazy when im trying to sleep but i think the main reason why i cant sleep at night.. is because i have Obsessive-compulsive disorder, i have these 2 fit behaviour which is nail biting and hair pulling (trichotillomania:since i was 11)
hair pulling isnt a joke..its embrassing. last time i tried meditate.. its work!!! i can fall asleep less than 5 minutes..but sadly that was the first and last time it happen..maybe im not concentrate enough or maybe my obsessive compulsive disorder over taking me
Sister... Try doing yoga and prayanama for once... Pranayama like Anlom vilom and Bhramari help a lot in easing down all those stressful shitty things going on in your brain... It will also help with concentration
damn i got OCD too plus i have ADHD so yeah ive had insomnia for almost 2 years so i feel you on that shit and im almost 27. one thing thats really good for sleep as well a countless other things is turmeric. Its the best spice on the planet and thats no understatement either lol.
Luke Ervin I've had those my entire life. I've never had a straight sleep
Schedule.
If I could fall asleep laying next to you, I'd never need to take another pill ever again, just holding you in my arms is all I would ever need to be perfectly happy and content for the rest of my life, your wife is one very very lucky woman!
I find wearing orange blue blocker glasses an hour or two before I go to sleep really helps. And you can wear them while on the computer or watching television. When I wear them, it definitely helps me sleep better.
Where do u buy them?
Hi Josh, really impressive videos. I just wondered what to do to help with bags under my eyes? Also my scalp occasionally gets very itchy every evening. Thanks
Please help those of us with sleep maintenance insomnia. It seems to be from cortisol rising too early. No worrying, no mental racing or worry, just simply wake up as of it's time to wake but 2 or 3 hours too soon. Getting to sleep beforehand is as easy as it always was. Getting back to sleep is usually impossible, even with taking supplements after waking or doing relaxation or any other techniques.
I have the same problem, any ideas?
Thanks so much Doctor. may GOD bless you !!!
I find that having my tv turned on helps me fall asleep. I usually put on one of the nature channels and end up falling asleep, not because I find nature boring but perhaps because it relaxes me :) I find it extremely hard to fall asleep without the tv turned on and my mind chatter will literally keep me awake till morning if I do not distract it. To much on my mind I guess.
Will definitely do that @ Dr. Josh Axe
What works for me is to not think about any stressful problems, and use and orange light at night, I think it works because it is similar in color to a sunrise and resets the brain. I have been trying this for a while and it works everytime. It seem like something some scientists might want to check into for verification.
One video said infra red light us supposed to help you sleep
I am retired, over 70, and worked minutes for 40 years. Can't sleep. Tried lavender oil may have used too much too strong. At my age I am going for the doctor prescribed sleeping pill. You are just too cute young man. Love your advice.
I shut down my technology before I sleep and than I start writing and wait til I can't keep my eyes open but than as I close my eyes I start thinking about things that hurts me or worries me. I REALLY can't sleep and I tried to talk to my mother about but she doesn't understand it started 2014
My mom thinks that since i have insomnia, I can't sleep at all, which is not even true...
I have so much trauma in my life I was told if I wrote a book it would be a best seller I have not had a good nights sleep since I was eighteen
Try to walk about 3 mile every morning and do exercise atleast 20 minutes and you will find your self tired eat healthy diet no carbs in dinner eat bananas with oatmeal add 2 tablespoon of honey hope can help your problem God bless you...
A Musiek damn bitch 2014, wtf

Hi Doctor Axe I am becoming a nutritionist myself your video's motivated me even more thanks for all your knowledge and advise.
‘Video’ is plural not possessive. 👍🏼
Great tips! I particularly find the first one is where most people struggle with. When I get hungry at night I like to add some nuts which have great fats as well.
Glad you found them helpful bestjuicer.net!
There are many components to relieving sleeplessness naturally. One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Trevs Sleep Blueprint (google it if you're interested) definately the best plan that I have ever heard of. Check out the awesome information .

Thank you Dr. Axe! Keep the videos coming!!! What are some resources for essential oils you recommend?
Simple yet effective. Thank you
i tried it already...still can't SLEEP!!!
WHY??
I had horrible insomnia for Nine months, the only way I could sleep was by taking medications. Finally my physician recommended this sleep plan *4InsomniaCure. Com* After Five weeks, I attained the best sleep of my life. I cannot advise it enough, especially for long term insomniacs. My sleeping has drastically improved!?
Ever since I stopped eating grains and dairy 3 weeks ago my insomnia has gotten worst. Is this a normal symptom of detox or withdrawal? Will it ever get better?
Thank you Dr. Axe for tips. Definitely gotta cut electronics before bed.
Your videos are outstanding

Thank you Dr. Axe
Enjoy your channel
It is widely believed that insomnia and other sleep issues could be related to us staring at screens while in bed. The idea is that these screens emit large amounts of blue light, which fools our brains into thinking it’s day time, and hence, not time for sleeping. There’s way too many factors that affect sleeping. To have a good night sleep is turning down the brightness on all our screens and get anti-bluelight screen filter like ocushield as it will help protect our eyes from the harmful bluelight.
here's my story. i stayed up all the time during the weekends ( im talking 3 and 4 am) and when it came down to school nights, i was terrified of not being able to fall asleep. i would force myself to sleep, but it didn't work, and i'd just cry. crying everyday, turned around and made me depressed. i would just eat, and play on my computer ALL day. and going to sleep, having panic attacks, i don't like. i stopped my body from doing all these things. i wouldn't stay up past 11 and i'd wake up at 6:50 everyday. and surprisingly, it worked. today marks a month since i first experienced my "insomnia attack" and i feel amazing.
Just wear a pair of orange or red colored glasses (prescription or plain glasses) for two or three hours before bedtime.Experiment for one month. Sleep will improve dramatically. There are numerous websites detailing how this types of glasses can block blue lights from entering into your eyes and increase the melatolin supply into the brain really significantly.For me at least the improvements are simply unprecedented.Light is a very overlooked criterion ever to be discussed by anybody,even medics, when they discuss insomnia.
How is your sleep now?
Dr. Aex, THANK you YOU'RE THE BEST!🙏👍
After years of insomnia, I have my diet and exercise under control. Quieting my mind happens when I hold my breath. I hold it until I feel like I'll pass out, then catch my breath and do it again. Forcing the CO2 into my blood is a sedative. Oxygen is a stimulant. I swear by it. My mind calms down, and I fall asleep. It usually only takes five deep holds
Thanks for bringing that up! I have an article on breaking exercises that goes into this! draxe.com/health/breathing-exercises/?
Nice vid here doc, nice info, your video helps millions of people now, hope your channel grow more. this topic is the reason why Ive decided to include some sleeping music at my channel, to help others from their stressfull nights.
I literally do all the things he said in the video and I'm not going to be able to fall asleep until 5 am tonight . I feel so frustrated and defeated.
i couldnt fall asleep for until 5 am and i only got 3 hours of sleep
Force yourself to get up earlier & earlier until you reset your internal clock
Thanks Doc. For the information and advice.
There is no one accually in the world who can figure out why
You your personal self cannot sleep, but your body is a miracle and if you can't sleep for a few weeks it's ok because your body will tell itself ok I'm tired now it's time to sleep
Do you mean no sleep at all for 2weeks
?or just some insomnia.
