the best way to do that is to improve the pfc to amygdala/default mode network ratio

I can vouch for the breathing exercises. I developed insomnia very dramatically and very quickly about six months ago. I tried all sorts of tricks and tips to no avail. Added to that, I developed anxiety about going to sleep - trust me, you do not want this. The thing that finally got me back on track to homeostasis is meditation and breathing exercises. If I'm not very sleepy but it's bedtime, I will start sitting upright in bed; if I am sleepy, I will start directly laying down. I focus on my breath, always make my exhalation longer than my inhalation, and if my attention wanders, I gently return it to my breath. I wear a blackout mask and, depending on the noise level, ear plugs (if I do wear ear plugs, I might also listen to my own heartbeat and imagine the wonder of it delivering blood and oxygen throughout my body). This has worked for me pretty dependably. It has even worked on nights that I have anxiety earlier in the day (e.g., an argument). It is my own sacred time with myself. I also remind myself also how much I enjoy laying in bed, being cozy, and being relaxed. Last thing: I NEVER focus on trying to sleep, just on my breath. This helps me to circumvent the monkey mind.

Practical and the best part is I think I can actually do this. Thanks .. very thoughtful. Much needed for waking in the night.

I do use 4 8 breathing. But ur video on triangle and box breathing was life changing! Thanks very much!

I hope you’ll consider doing more videos on sleep and breathing! Your videos are always very helpful. Thank you! 😊

Thank you for for 4/8 breathing technique. I find reading soul nourishing paper books for 10/15 minutes before lights sets the mood.

Finally you dont blame late night sleeping, just prefer to go to bed almost the same time. Thanks!

The thing that is affecting my sleep is overthinking leading to stress and that leads to increase of body temperature

I am trying this right now before I go to bed( with a severe cold). Thank You YogaBody

Well worth the time investment to watch. As a scientist and a realist - and someone known to audibly groan when I spot lemmingesque retreading in the wild - I applaud your approach to reframing this topic. The fresh suggestions both make sense to me and demonstrate you value viewers’ time. Much appreciated! I do have a few questions. Three, to be exact. 😁 RE: Breathing exercise Was that ~15 reps? RE: Magnesium 1. Does it matter what time of day you take the Mg supplements? (Would be incremental and variable if met via dietary intake…) 2. I’m curious why you recommend the bis-glycinate form. (Improved bioavailability, maybe?) I know the last one is a bit weedsy, but I would genuinely find it helpful to understand your logic. I started down the counter-ion rabbit hole once before with a different supplement but didn’t find a resolution before my patience wore out. 🙃 Cheers!

I just found your channel and this is like the 16th video I have watched and so far so good!!! I am really enjoying all of your tips and teachings in your videos. I would LOVE to have a "good night sleep" be able to sleep longer than 2 hours straight. However, the first thing you mention for a good night sleep is a dark room, black out curtains, cover the blinking lights, ect.... I sleep with my TV turned on but the volume on mute. I am 49 years old and I am "afraid of the dark". I don't like it, I never have. I am afraid that I will hear a noise and can't see who or what it is. Soooooo now what.....

I'm 45, most of us here are in that age group (or older). Keep going with us...

Great advice, and if that doesnt work, try clearing the sinuses of biofilms (serrapeptase, N Acetyl Cysteine, XLear xylitol saline nasal spray), l theanine for life anxiety (bandaid), iron bisglycinate if you are anemic/have poor oxygenation capacity, and sleep with your phone 15ft away from your head or turned off. nothing radiating waves near your head. Lamps and alarm clocks might not be a big deal, but I have noticed my sleep quality improves during power outages. And 3 am wake ups happen when my phone is charging next to my bed. Cell phones came into human experience in the 1980's/90's, we didnt evolve with them and I doubt the engineers who made them have degrees in human physiology and understand true body wellness, to tune cell phone and wireless energy to human/nature frequencies that are non disruptive. goes beyond blue light exposure. Mold in your home can kill a good night sleep too.

Hi Mark - people have different theories, in yoga they often say right side to promote the parasympathetic system. Others make an argument about the liver. Personally I find side sleeping so challenging, my thought is if you can pull it off - don't it and don't worry about the side.

Thanks I just retired 4 years ago. When I worked I was up 4 am . By 7 pm I was tired. Now retire I notice the past 2 years my sleeping has changed. Have a hard time sleeping. Sometimes not till 2 am. Purchase supplements and new pillows. My body take couple hours to wind down. So I started to try get back on schedule at night. Doing meditation and deep breathing. Any advice thanks

@YOGABODY.Official

9 ай бұрын

Retirement can indeed bring changes to your daily routine, including sleep patterns. Your efforts to establish a nighttime routine with meditation and deep breathing are great! To further improve sleep, maintain a consistent bedtime, limit screen time before bed, and create a comfortable sleep environment with a supportive pillow. Also, exercise regularly during the day, but not too close to bedtime. Physical activity can improve your mood, health, and sleep quality. However, exercising too late in the day can make you too alert and energized to fall asleep. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, preferably in the morning or afternoon. I hope these tips will help you sleep better and feel more refreshed in the morning. - YB Team

It is generally okay but to know how big the improvements are, you must be consistent with it and assess after maybe 2 weeks if there are any improvements you feel

O Lord, God of all goodness and blessings, please have favor on my soul and mind. Do not allow Satan to torture my mind with evil despairing thoughts. O God bless me with divine rest and healing slumber. God help me to stay strong and tough in the most frustrating and harsh circumstances and situations at work and at home. I pray for this in the holy name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

5:38 this is not to be mean or sound snobby but if you dont have control over your life and your time, you should not focus on sleep but to get control back instead of finding coping mechanisms.

Just commit to never eating in the 3/4 hours before bed. That is not in any way at all some unachievable standard, it's easy.
