Proven Sleep Tips | How to Fall Asleep Faster | Doctor Mike

Hey, guys! Today’s video, sponsored by Cotton Incorporated, is all about how you can get the best night’s sleep of your life aka some awesome sleep hacks!
Many of you have been asking since the channel began for me to make a video that helps you fall asleep and stay asleep. Insomnia is a huge problem and I totally understand that. There are also a ton of how to fall asleep faster or how to stay asleep videos out there but I feel too many of them are not evidence-based nor even really expert based.
These sleep routine tips and bedroom hacks, including swapping out synthetic for cotton sheets, will help you get the ZZZZZs you need to take on the day; and the best part is that the power to improve your sleep and beat your insomnia is right in your hands!
Just so you know I can talk about sleep for hours so if there is a specific question of yours on sleep that has been left unanswered please jump into the comments section and I will do my best to respond right there or in my monthly responding to comments video!
If you have a topic you would like for me to create a dedicated video on, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. We will be back with more Medical Drama Review Series in a couple of weeks so please submit more names of shows/episodes you'd like for me to watch. Love you all!

    Yeah... I'm always on my phone when I am about to go to sleep. And then I am on phone for hours, because I am not really feeling sleepy yet, and night time is the time when I know I can read my books or watch the movies, knowing my mom is asleep and can't bother me, and asleep is also everyone. It makes me feel peacefull when I feel like no one is up but me.

    The tips are great. Also, try having a routine the last 30 minutes before going to sleep such as putting the phone down, turning off the computer and getting some water. Your routine can vary, but doing this every day will let your mind and body know it's time to fall asleep. Soothing sleeping music can also calm down your brain from overthinking and relax your senses into sleep.

    1. Exercise 2. Diet - avoid eating too close to bedtime - avoid spicy & overly saturated foods - alcohol tampers sleeping quality 3. Naps - decrease sleepiness - makes it harder to fall asleep at night 4. Caffeine - approx. half-life of 6 hours - it can take up to 12 hours to be fully eliminated out of your system - diuretic: dehydrates you - get your "coffee fix" before lunch Evening Planning for Good Sleep 1. Dim your lights 2. Decrease Blue light - tampers melatonin levels 3. Cool down your room 4. Get Cotton Sheets (Video sponsor) Bedtime 1. Pitch black (Eliminate All light) 2. Turn ON "Do Not Disturb" on your phone 3. Boot pets from bed 4. If after 15 min still restless, get out of bed - do something relaxing - try and go back to sleep after 15 minutes 7-9 hours of per night on average QQC: Quantity Quality Consistency - going to sleep at the same time every night

    Thanks a lot - these are some really great tips that I could really use! However, in regard to pets: I guess mileages vary. My cat sadly passed away last year, however, when he was still alive, he slept with me for years and not once did he disturb me in any way. I never ever lost any sleep or felt fatigued by him or whatever: he slept me with me peacefully.

    I used to struggle with that a lot until I started sleeping on a consistent schedule (I didn't choose to, I had kids) - same time to bed, same time up in the morning, with a good 8 hour stretch between. This means not sleeping in on weekends. It locks in your circadian rhythm so that your body knows when to expect being up every day according to how your hormones are synced with sunlight. I've been getting up at 7am consistently for about 3 years and I feel like I can get up so much easier now. The few times I've slept in on a saturday, I felt terrible for days after and I struggled to wake up the next few mornings.

As a student I constantly fell back asleep after setting the alarm back to snooze, because I just cba to get up and go to school. But having a job that's just a lot of fun to me with nice co-workers made it so much easier.

    Here's an easy method. *Step 1:* Find a friend. *Step 2:* Give them a brick. *Step 3:* Have them throw it at your head. *Step 4:* Fall into a coma and have a nice, long sleep. Edit: If you’re having trouble on step 1, like many others are, throw the brick up and have it land on top of your head.

    A few bonus tips which have helped me as a long term insomniac (pretty much recovered now): * Some people have caffeine hypersensitivity - even one cup of coffee in the morning can still keep you awake at night if that's the case. Keep in mind too that decaff has a third of the amount of caffeine as normal coffee. * There's a supplement called 'magnesium breakthrough' which has personally helped me a lot. Most magnesium supplements have just one form of magnesium in them, this one has 8 different types - I've definitely felt the difference. Anyway, good luck with your sleep everyone.
