    When we sleep, our body heals us. Medical professionals help, but our bodies are miraculous during sleep. So if they give us help then keep us up all night, we don't get better! Found that out when I was in the hospital for brain swelling. Over a week of meds and no improvement because I wasn't allowed to sleep. After I made a scene about it and got to sleep, I started improving quickly!

    I'm an EFL teacher, and that's kind of true of language teachers, too. The students that will learn the language the best are the ones that speak it with their friends, watch TV and movies in that language, and regularly use it outside of class. I seriously doubt if there's a single person on Earth who learned a language exclusively through what was taught in the classroom.

    Hey Doc! I've used that neck massager thing. Found it for cheap on ALI Express. Full disclosure: no your skin does not get caught in it. The gray wheel parts are actually kinda squishy so it doesn't pinch the skin. It does give a pretty nice massage, unfortunately it has a fatal flaw...the hairs at the nape of your neck can get caught in the wheels if you have longer hair, like me. So yeah, it's not gonna work for me.🤦‍♀️

    @Alexander Stoychev I've always thought that to die is actually a voluntary act. I've seen this quite a few times. Of course, it might be that the person who is about to die would cling to life up to a moment when he/she can't no more and them will "let go" and by doing so it will probably seem to voluntarily die when in fact to die might very well be to no be able to live no more. Anyway, probably healing is something starting somewhere deep inside a human being. I recall having Appendicitis. Swollen, barely being able top walk, took my things in a bag, got ready to go to a hospital for a surgery, was scarred of the surgery, went to sleep, in the morning Appendicitis gone. Wanted so bad to get rid of it I guess it did happen. At first, doctor said i need to get intensive treatment because he thought that the appendix broke inside of me and I will most probably die without treatment. After that he thought that maybe it wasn't Appendicitis but the way things were it was nothing else but Appendicitis. One more thing... had huge pains in my chest 3-4 times a day. Doctor said I need to have heart surgery which I was very much afraid of. Within a week time after my visit to the doctor, I went to a small party where I drank a strong coffee to be able to stay awake all night. Next day I went to sleep. Woke up and went back to continue the party. Drank a strong coffee again. Went to sleep in the morning and since that day I drink strong coffee every day. I guess somehow I started to believe that having coffee does good to me. It's more than 30 years already passed since then and I'm living my life free of chest pains. Most definitely that heart surgery didn't perform by itself but somehow, the trouble is already solved. Nature has its ways and if a doctor believes the only way to treat something is his/her way, they are wrong. Maybe this is happening because God simply love people but it is definitely happening.

    @Dan dan Yes, I meant to say that you can use anything instead of homeopathy. On top of that, the patient himself is the most important factor. If the patient doesn't trust the doctor, the treatment may be less efficient, compared to the same treatment, but prescribed by a different, more "trustworthy" doctor. On the other hand, patients that have lost all will to live (usually old people) just get worse and worse and modern medicine can do little about it. The will do live, to achieve something - lose weight, recover after a physical/phycological trauma, improve immune system, etcetera...

    I once saw a blister happen because of too tight bandages after a surgery. My aunt was able to tell me something was painful and felt 'not right' compared to the pain of staples and sutures. We don't know whether the blister appeared from rubbing or pinching but it became increasingly painful because it was attempting to swell in an already too tight space. It probably worsened because we had to wait until the surgeon came back after the weekend. No one would take responsibility for unwrapping her arm. The moment they took out the bandages, it became very large like this. It turned out fine, but it was an unnecessary and painful experience.

    My sister was in a recovery place after a hospital stay for Pnumoenia. The bed they had her in would alarm every time she got up even for just a second. Normally it was to use the stool that was beside her bed cause it was better then sitting in wet sheets waiting for a nurse to come help you. She said the alram was so loud she thought she was going to lose her hearing. Well if got to point that the doctor said they didn't need the alarm to tell them she was out of bed any more as she seemed to make it to the stool by herself and back to her bed just fine. it was even written on her chart. Two days later the alarm is still on. Finally she said "Nurse it says ON MY CHART that alarm can go bye bye" they finally looked at it and went "oh so it does sorry" It was like the one nurse told me five times the matter if 2 seconds if i needed anything to just press my button or wave to her. 5 minutes later I need her and shes not there. If your not going to stay at the station your supposed to then don't tell me to just wave at you if i need you.

    The mouth tape thing - also like to add that sometimes people sleep in a position that can cause them to not be able to breathe through their nose and therefore their body responds automatically by opening their mouth for air. It has happened to me, I slept on my stomach when I was little and ended up with my mouth open through the night which caused minor issue when I woke up and so my mum finally got me to sleep on my back so that I would stop limiting/blocking my nose. Sometimes I had that issue when I slept weirdly on my side blocking one side of my nose lol. I basically was sleep on my face it sounds like🤣But yeah, point is, that tape on your mouth, I can imagine it being a problem if you are limiting or blocking your nose and you can't open your mouth...I mean you'll be woken up...and if you don't for whatever reason and your mouth can't open...wouldn't it be dangerous? Or is the tape not that tight? IDK just seems strange solution to the problem, not practical...

    The tape-over-mouth one scares me as someone whose partner struggles to breathe in their sleep (I've told them what I've noticed and to see a doctor and it's on their to-do list). I've watched them sleep with their mouth closed, breathe in through their nose, fail to be able to exhale properly through the nose and then the air pops out of their mouth instead. They also snore and audibly struggle to breathe at times - it's often a team effort between nose and mouth. The idea of them obstructing their mouth in an attempt to force their body to breathe through their nose so that they can "have the best sleep ever" is terrifying because I can guarantee it would NOT improve their sleep AT ALL, and I'd be worried that they'd suffocate because they CAN'T breathe through their nose properly in their sleep.

    My grandma used supplements for *everything* to the point of causing her BP to spike resulting in a ton of ER visits and the mini strokes that eventually killed her 15yrs into her health kick. Before her death she was a dementia patient with a lot of physical problems to go with it all because she mixed 5 paper grocery bags of supplement bottles with her 6 medications. Yes, I said 5 grocery bags of supplements and no, I'm not exaggerating.

    I agree with the thing about trust and if a doctor tells someone something that does not happen it ruins that. I am just going to say that I had a doctor that told me I will be back to a completely normal person (run, bike, climb, soccer, roller blade)after a month of PT(for an orthopedic injury). I was so excited because I had been dealing with it for over a year. Then it did not help at all and the new doctor we saw for my follow up said “yeah I’m sorry she is a student she moved to another clinic because she rotates” and he told me my injury takes at LEAST 2-3 months to get better and even still it might not work. So trust is very important because even before my follow up I knew it was not better so I was really mad and frustrated at her too. I was so glad I got a new doc tho even though we knew that I would have a new one when we first had her because she told us she is moving to another clinic! Also I am a huge fan dr.mike!! My dream is to be in the medical field so you are a huge inspiration and influence, keep up the good work!

    It’s so funny you covered the potato under the sock thing because that is such a common thing that happened in my small home town 😅 the only difference is we used onions instead. I refuse to get back on Facebook but if I did I can promise you some of the girls I went to school with are doing this to their children right now! It’s an old wives tale like doing the spinning necklace thing to figure out if you’re having a boy or a girl lol. I have to admit I tried it out once (I admit I was very gullible) and I knew the second I looked at the onion it only looked like that due to the air and possibly the heat that came from my feet 😅 aside from it not working the smell wasn’t pleasant either lol The only tale I’ve tried that I felt actually worked was drinking a Pepsi for nausea when I was pregnant. This was the only thing I could keep down when I struggled with morning sickness and I have no idea why. Maybe you or someone in the comments could explain why this helps but it’s actually a common suggestion down south (at least where I’m from lol).

    Something I'd like to ask Dr Mike: I've never had great luck with vitamins. Or antidepressants. Or medicine for ADD. (That last one had troubling side effects in my case.) BUT - fortified bran cereal works wonders. I eat 1.5-2 cups a day. Have seen significant reduction in brain fog and cold terrors. It could be the placebo effect, since I've always liked bran cereal. (Don't judge- the best cereal bowls lived at Grandma's house.) It could also be that I have trouble metabolizing folic acid. (A discovery from genetic testing for medication sensitivity.) But folic acid supplements don't work - only the cereal works. Strange? 🤷‍♀️

    Great vid. Good points and good insight. There’s just one thing I don’t understand. There are literally medically published articles on the effects of raw garlic. I did a presentation on that for one of my biology classes during my two-year degree in community college. My class was given two random topics to do presentation and reports about separately. My topics were garlic and whales. We needed reliable sources to do our reports and presentations. I don’t understand how taking raw garlic for medicinal purposes is medically in-accurate. The Allison in that food is powerful, and has been studied by medical establishments.

    I've suffered a lifetime of insomnia that occasionally keeps me up for days on end and as of late it's gotten so bad it's scary, so I really appreciate him talking about these awful promises to magically cure genuine disabilities like mine. It really hurts when people tell me something will make me sleep 'cause for just a fraction of a second I get a little wisp of hope that maybe it really could help me, but it won't, and I know it won't, so then I just have to remind myself that there really isn't a guaranteed cure for one of my hardest and most painful struggles.

    @Fruity McFruitcake while I won't say it'll help you sleep, maybe it could help you rest. Not sleep but just relax? I like to lay in bed, light a candle (although that's not something you want to sleep while it burns) but even like a wallflower thing that you enjoy the smell of. Listen to some music you like if there is any calming music. Doesn't have to have words and if it has no words, it's easier to just follow along with the notes. Not thinking just listening. Don't think about anything but what you're direct senses pick up with your eyes shut. The smells of the candle. The touch and feel of your head against your pillow. The weight of the blankets laying on you. The feel of the sheets on your finger tips. The senses that get dulled out because of our sight being our primary input out and about during the day. Like I said. I won't say it'll help you sleep. I have found it to be enjoyable and relaxing though when I can't sleep. It still allows my mind to just stop thinking about stupid thoughts for a little while. I get rest. Not sleep but still mental rest and allows my muscles and body to relax. I don't feel so run down and frustrated after. Living and feeling in the moment of things that are physically there. Simplicity at its finest. I wish the best for you. I'm sorry you have chronic insomnia. It's miserable to put it lightly. I know it's not the same but my sleep has always been broken since I was born. I only remember occasionally sleeping for a long time without waking up every few hours or so. I hope this can at least be an enjoyable time for you when you're having trouble sleeping.

    I feel you, my insomnia isn't as bad as yours though it's slowly getting worse but I can't remember the last time I got more than a maximum of 5 hours of sleep without the use of heavy medication or waking up randomly several times a night. I don't even use my meds too often so I don't wind up with a drug problem which makes it even worse that I've tried all the other lesser medications to help and they end up barely working often times.

    I'm glad he clarified that if you have insomnia or breath through your mouth there might be other conditions that you need to look into. But I can say that taping your mouth is worth a try! I'm not promising any magical cures, however. I've been doing it for years and I can tell a drastic difference in my sleep quality when I tape vs. when I don't tape. I actually got recommended to do it by multiple different professional osteopaths and orthodontists because sleep apnea and TMJ runs in my family and I'm a mouth-breather. My immune system is also weak and I find that I get sick significantly less when I tape than when I don't.
