    You guys are great. I cannot tell you how many people I have told about these '2 Canadian docs on YT' since I embarked on my total knee replacement journey. I am 7 weeks post op. My ROM is 0-127. I graduated from clinical PT last week (6 weeks total) and my surgeon told me last Friday that he would see me in a year unless I needed him sooner. Thanks for all the informative videos. Your humor is appreciated and needed when dealing with knee replacement surgery. My surgeon was incredible and my physical therapists were exceptional. During therapy I groaned a lot, laughed a lot and worked hard. Laughter is cathartic. Keep the videos coming.Have a great day.

    This is near and dear to my heart. In the past I worked shift work and had to learn to cope. A floor fan in the room helps the room feel cooler but also provides a steady drone which helps mask sounds. If the room is quite warm, placing the fan up on something to blow the air across one's feet can really help to cool you down. Light blocking shades were a must for me and worked well. I learned to use soft foam ear plugs to take care of noise, including a spouse who snores, as well as my own snoring. I've been using soft foam ear plugs for 30 years and always get better sleep when I use them. Didn't need to sleep alone after buying a king size bed, plenty of room, plus the ear plugs equals a good night sleep. I have a small amount of wine twice a week but always 4 hrs or more prior to bedtime. No caffeine for 10 hours prior to sleep for me. Found that on a sleep specialists website, however, some people do not need the 10 hours lead time prior to sleep. Finally, no dang blasted TV, especially the news, prior to or during bedtime. Great video! Thanks.

I no longer drink alcohol, so that isnt an issue. I am a coffee drinker , but not after lunch. I have to admit, I likely won't share your suggestion of sleeping in separate beds with my wife. I might be relegated to the shed. LOL. I enjoy your videos. I subsribed over a year ago when I was searching for information regarding my upcoming TKR.

    I was 37 when I quit smoking. Up to that point it usually took me 20 minutes to 1/2 hour to fall asleep. After I quit smoking, it now took me about 3 minutes to reach sleep. For the last 24 years I've quit drinking alcohol. During that time that 3 minutes has been shortened to about 1 minute or less. Unfortunately, being an older man. I wake up a couple of times to hit the washroom, but that one minute to fall asleep again is fairly regular. Stay safe & thanks Brian 81

    When I got sick some years ago, I moved to our "sick bay" bedroom so my husband wouldn't have to sleep in a cough cloud. Also, we are now in the age group that has awful trouble getting back to sleep if awakened during the night, so after a lot of backing and forthing with this idea, we decided separate sleeping arrangements do work for us. Sure helps with our different amounts of needed sleep-time that have evolved as well; my husband goes to bed much later and gets up much earlier than I do. Now he doesn't wake me up thrice--got to add his nocturnal potty break.

    Excellent suggestions! Another thing I do is this: Sleeping on your side with your head tilted slightly back, almost like you are receiving mouth to mouth resuscitation though with your mouth closed (again, NOT on your back; a contoured pillow helps here). This can open up your airways and make sleep easier. Just make sure you don’t overdue it because that can strain your neck. That works for me, anyway. Results may vary with others, because I’m weird. 🤪

    Please do an entire video on the science of sleep apnea. I denied having this issue until I was 70 and had an in lab test. I have been using CPAP for 6 months now and it has dramatically improved my life. I does take a lot to get used to and find the correct setting. I don't know what it's like up north but here in the States the sleep docs that will keep working with the patient seem hard to find. Myself, being an annoying engineer, I dug in to all the info and KZread videos I could find to dial it in. I just had 10 hours of amazing sleep!

    From MIT, susan Erdman did a talk on KZread about lactobacillis reuteri Greek yogurt. Mostly the premise of consuming this yogurt was for weight loss, but side effects were, better skin, hair growth, and better sleep. I'm on my third week of the yogurt and my skin has indeed improved, but mostly I definitely do sleep better. I'm old and bald so the hair growth benefit is probably a no-go but I will hang in there for the recommended 5 months for that benefit. Better sleep is real though, and for my daughter too whom is also eating the yogurt. Another great talk, thank you! Stephen

I felt like I could accomplish anytrhing.The only explanation I have is that I was having a lucid dream just before I awoke. I have practiced trying to replicate lucid dreaming to see if that was the reason, but without luck. Most people I tell this story to, look at me like I am a loon but I remember that day, I will never forget it and if I could wake with that feeling just several times a week, I feel my life would have been much different.

    I have had sleep apnea. It is terrifying to start with but when you know what it is it is not as bad. For me it was a side effect of medication I have to take but I got accustomed then it went away. Another one nearly as bad is Manniers Disease, a form of Vertigo where you think you are losing your mind and are going to pass out when you roll over on the pillow. That passes with time too. Food is related to sleep too. Warm milk and bananas promote sleep. Apples wake you up. Over heating during sleep gives nightmares.

    I noticed my husband had periods of apnea.....30 seconds. Newer couple. Made me blink too. So, I made him see his doctor. They weren't going to give him the machine because the test they gave him was inconclusive. Trust me he now has the machine. 30 seconds. Watching your spouse not breathe for that long was not fun. His stomach issues that he had for years are gone. So many health issues cleared up it was amazing. No more snoring except the quick nap around nine thirty while watching TV. Definitely changed our lives.
