Love these kind of vlogs, Steve. As someone who deals with sleep issues, I can definitely relate to the staying up late, being super productive then not being able to sleep and feeling like crap the next day. Should try your best to get in a routine like you mentioned, super important for your circadian rhythm.
Steve, I’m going through a brutal breakup and do the same thing. I’m a mess and stay up all night thinking about it, about life, I’m sticking to the gym and work and trying my best to get through. Your videos inspire me man, and I’ve been Swoldiernation fan since 2014. Cheers and good luck on the move bro
Sorry to hear your in a bad time I went though a terrible divorce and focusing on fitness really helped keep my mental health in a good place even if everything else was falling apart keeping my head right with workouts really helped me stay focused 💪 learn from it use all the negative things that happen to u as a a lesson and go find you again and you will get tho it stronger and better and new better things will come alone I'm about to get Married again and I have a 2 year old boy too!and all thoses years ago when I got left by my ex wife ( she cheated) I felt like that was the end of my life and that I'd never recover but we are way stronger than we think we are!but as a man we must talk to people about our mental health it's so important 💪 good luck to you
Loving the vlogs Steve! Have been here since the start of swoldier nation. You inspired me to get into health and fitness and I became a physiotherapist because of it. I'm sure I speak for us all when I say I'm happy to support you in any endeavour, since you have given us so much through the years. These stressful times are what we look back on with gratitude and wonder "how the hell did I make it through that". And that's what makes the good, good in life. Take care! Last set best set!
Hey Steve, Been a long time viewer and been a long time bad sleeper. However, now, since a few years, I'm a great sleeper. This is what I changed, hope it helps! Blue light blocking glasses at night: Bright light in the evening tells your body: don't make melatonin, stay awake. Blue light blockers block that. Solid sleep routine: The biggest thing that helped me was waking up at the same time and going to bed at the same time. As soon as you wake up, get some light in your eyes and wait with coffee for at least 90 minutes. This fixes your sleep cycle. If you have trouble going to sleep early, melatonin can help getting your sleep cycle in order. Check-off routine I work from home, so it's hard to separate work from home. However, every day when I finished working, I meditate for 15 minutes to basically close off "work mode" and start "relax mode" No intense stuff after 2030: Your mind needs time to unwind, especially when you have a busy schedule. After 2030 I don't do work, use my phone or any other thing that spikes brain activity. Hope it helps man, I know how much it sucks to not sleep.
Oh, I forgot: No caffeine after 1200. Caffeine stays in the body for a long time, which really kills your sleep. I also started taking magnesium. Working out, sweating, stress, they all use a lot of magnesium. Magnesium helps to relax the body and helps with sleep.
Digging the daily vlogs dude. We are in the same chapter of life (just got married, bought a home, focusing on fitness and what’s important). Looking forward to my 10 minute cardio warmup now watching these 🤙🏼 last set, best set.
Caffeine and stimulants no later than 2pm. Blue light glasses. Turn lights off an hour before bed. Watch sugars and food 4 hours before bed. No fluids an hour before bed also helps people not get up middle of the night to pee. 😂 Gym helps me be tired personally. Last thing is magnesium. At the end of stressful days, magnesium helps body relax on top of all things listed above. Of course, making sure you’re on top of blood work and vitamins during the day.
Steve I do the same thing. I can be in bed at 10pm start thinking about all the things I want to change in my house, my kitchen, my flooring, my backyard, then I start thinking about all these things I want to do with life, start scrolling through my phone. Next thing I know it’s 1am I didn’t even go to sleep. It’s a battle everyday for me
Hey Steve! I experience the same issues before sleep. Something I’ve tried doing is reading inspiring stories before bed time instead of stimulating my mind with work related things. I’ve also started using an eye mask and it’s a cue to my body once the eye mask is on that it’s time to wind down.
Not sure if you’ve already checked out the Huberman Lab podcast on sleep, but it’s very insightful and has useful protocols to help promote optimal sleep. Loving the consistent videos and routine from you man!
Working EMS, getting off at 8am after running high adrenaline and very well caffeinated for the last 24 hours sleep comes harddd, definitely feel you on the nightly ceiling duty
Just wait until your baby comes! I have a 6 week old and sleep has been tough! Hope you get a grip on it before the baby comes because it adds another level of stress to not sleeping!! 😴
Steve you have an overwhelmed nervous system. Your mind keeps racing because your body is freaking out. You need to focus on regulation to get your body calm which will stop the overactive mind.
Little THC Steve just a little bit at night when needed. You seem like me and don’t like being very dependent on things. I do this once a in a blue moon helps quite a bit when need a good full nights rest
Take Magnezium Glycinate at 9pm, Turn off the lights. Watch a movie until you get sleepy and sleep in cold room. Coming from someone who's had very bad insomnia.
Steve I know youre prob not a drinker but a nice glass of red wine (has natural melatonin in it ) and a hot bath combo before bed will help knock you out almost guaranteed. Give it a try
But alcohol affects quality of sleep, so helps go to sleep, possibly, but in terms of deep sleep cycling, it's worse for us..better off to sleep a solid 4hrs sleep then a light 6 hrs sleep...

It’s great to see you posting more.

Steve these vlogs are 🔥, thanks for always keeping it real and honest. Also the golf swing is looking great! 🙌
Appreciate you always being authentic, Steve. Hope all goes well with the move!

“A steve cook film”😭😭😭
Stay strong Steve 👍💪

Steve, Fitness Culture Gold Coast? That would be dope!
Prayers for healing for Sunny and Jake.
Kava kava. Helps wind down before bed

Working EMS, getting off at 8am after running high adrenaline and very well caffeinated for the last 24 hours sleep comes harddd, definitely feel you on the nightly ceiling duty

The knife had me dying 😂😂
Just wait until your baby comes! I have a 6 week old and sleep has been tough! Hope you get a grip on it before the baby comes because it adds another level of stress to not sleeping!! 😴

Good stuff. Love your gym!
Keep up the grind Steve 💪
Steve you have an overwhelmed nervous system. Your mind keeps racing because your body is freaking out. You need to focus on regulation to get your body calm which will stop the overactive mind.
Thanks for the update on Jake and his wife. So hope she is in the clear.
Have you shared more about depression/your advice if going through it?
Little THC Steve just a little bit at night when needed. You seem like me and don’t like being very dependent on things. I do this once a in a blue moon helps quite a bit when need a good full nights rest

I love you Allen 😭😂💀
Every day videos..lovely sir
Take Magnezium Glycinate at 9pm, Turn off the lights. Watch a movie until you get sleepy and sleep in cold room. Coming from someone who's had very bad insomnia.
Micromanaging everything ie. everything has to be perfect causes sleep irregularities
Much love to Sunny and Jake ❤
I averaged 4 hours of sleep in 2023, not ideal but honestly I got quality sleep in those four hours, hoping to find a way to get more this year
someone send Steve some thc gummies for his sleep lol
Show us some of what you’re eating and your diet these days
What the story with the thyroid Steve? I remember you once saying diet damaged it but how exactly? 🤔
Try a red bull before sleep Steve...works for me very well.
As someone that struggles with sleep as well magnesium is helping me a ton give it a try
Take sleep supps before medication, mag ashwa lthanine
Time to cook 🍳

Try L tryptophan before bed. Cut out all Caffeine
Steve I know youre prob not a drinker but a nice glass of red wine (has natural melatonin in it ) and a hot bath combo before bed will help knock you out almost guaranteed. Give it a try
But alcohol affects quality of sleep, so helps go to sleep, possibly, but in terms of deep sleep cycling, it's worse for us..better off to sleep a solid 4hrs sleep then a light 6 hrs sleep...
