I’m really interested in this subject. When I was in my teens I would literally take 2 hour naps every day at around 3 in the afternoon because I was SO TIRED. Now, I’m 23 and since like 1 year, I don’t feel like I need naps anymore to even feel remotely awake throughout the day. So hearing the professor say that your sleep schedule changes throughout the years, makes me so happy. It makes so much sense. And now I’m off to sleep! Goodnight y’all 😴

I personally haven't struggled with sleep during my lifetime, except for the normal amount of occasional struggles due to outside circumstances, but one thing that has really helped me at college is only using my bed for sleep. I've developed the habit of dedicating places to certain things, such as my desk for working, my bean bag chair for relaxing, and my bed for sleeping. Since I've started this, my brain instantly knows I'm going to go to sleep when I get into my bed, and I not only fall asleep faster, I tend to have more minutes of REM sleep and I wake up feeling better rested!

That's pretty much the only thing that worked for me too, but it was to stay out of my room until I'm going in to sleep.

Most useful thing I've found for my sleep is an automated curtain opener! I need total darkness to sleep, but have a hard time waking up if it's still dark when my alarm goes off. Having an automatic curtain opener to flood my room with daylight helps convince my mind and body that YES! it IS time to get up!

Took that test and got 38. I am definitely an evening to night person, but am able to go to sleep early and wake up early if I need to for work. I have also worked overnights before. Most of my life I feel like no matter how much or how little sleep I get, I always feel tired. So regardless of how I feel, I know I have to be productive. It's a strange superpower. I can function very well on little amounts of sleep because I am used to it.

My average amount of sleep is 10 hours which others say is too much. However, whenever I wake up after having 8 hours considered "normal" I feel I have barely had any sleep. Unfortunately, it's hard to keep up with 10 hours due to work, going to the office, returning late, and running errands around the house. Therefore, Saturday is the day I look for, so my body can restore all the energy and needed sleep.

Hey Ali. I found the myth about Melatonin to be incredibly interesting for my case. Im 25 now, male, and I have been having issues with sleep for my entire life. For the past 3 years, ive been taking melatonin (1mg) every night. I fully understand the way statistics about it work, say how it reduces the amount of time to fall asleep by 7min, but in my case I really think it helps me fall asleep 1-2h sooner than I would naturally fall asleep. Would be an interesting discussion to figure out how come, why, and find why it works so well for me but maybe not so well for others.

I eat breakfast right after waking up, skip lunch and then eat dinner by 6 PM. I just had to fix my eating schedule and my sleep schedule was fixed on its own.

Just as you said, my personal experience with Melatonin is that it does NOT help me fall asleep faster; however, it does improve the quality of sleep I get. I tend to rest more and wake up in the middle of the night less when I take melatonin. I find that the timed release versions of melatonin are better for this than the regular or fast dissolve versions.

Exactly, my quality of sleep tends to be far better and I sleep much sounder. On the flip side it also knocks me out for much longer so if I don't sleep 10-11 hours whilst using it, I tend to be extremely tired when I wake up, albeit far clearer of mind and refreshed.

Sleep is difficult for me as I’m full time university student studying piano. But so far in college your idea that “nothing good happens after 2am” has helped me know that its better to leave some “have-to assignment” for the next day in morning rather than destroying my week through one day. I think being less anxious about have-to’s as well as sleep paradoxically make us more productive. Thanks Ali for sleep video..good vibes 😀

My reason is 9 weeks so I understand where you're coming from. I'm enjoying all the moments though before I head back to work.

9:36 This sounds like nothing, but I’ve actively tried to not stress about sleep. And I feel like it has helped. Like, take this scenario. “Oh no it’s 12am already, but I’m not tired, and I want to watch that video.” But then I’ve forced my self to try and sleep. But I’ve found out that I spent way more energy and time fighting the urge to stay awake, than to just be awake and sleep when I feel tired enough. So instead of spending 15 min debating and talking my self into going to bed, I just finished the video in those 15 min instead haha. Also, instead if dreading going to bed 1 - 2 h before bed, and with those hours just wasted on worrying about not being able to sleep, I’ve told my self that I can sleep whenever I want. It has helped, like 98% of the time. And if there are nights I just for the life of me can’t sleep, I accept that the next day will be hard, and I stay awake until I pass out.

thanks for this video it's midnight and now I have an excuse to my current sleep method: scrolling my phone(while listening to audiobooks) until I'm bored. Sometimes I don't get tired when Im bored, sometimes I feel jumpy and have the urgent urge to do something productive but i had no choice because I got classes at 8am so I ended up being stressed in bed.

Thank you so much for this! Wonderful information and great presentation. I loved how he said yes, it worked for” 8 undergrads in California.” I gives perspective and shows we are all different and the apps are not Reviewed or approved. We get so desperate to get sleep, we start to believe everything /anything that will help. And these fixes end up stoking the anxiety fires and make sleep Worse! I think for me, strenuous exercise helps me sleep, but the catch 22 is I feel so tired all the time exercise is the last thing I want to do. So I nap, make myself more tired and repeat. This video at least is beginning to quell the anxiety and dispel the myths that are continuously promoted. This information is GREATLY appreciated 😊

I am happy to hear that 6 hours of sleep is enough. I am not insomniac, I can sleep whenever I want to but I can't sleep more than 6 to 7 hours. I sleep most of the time at 9PM and I just wake up at 3 or 4AM without alarm. My eyes just open then my body rejects sleeping after.

Blue light blockers are still worth it. I don’t think it’s ever affected my sleep, but I can physically feel the strain on my eyes lift off as I put them on when I’m working late at night

I think accepting chronotypes has been most helpful. Not forcing myself to be awake or try to sleep at times that is not optimal for my body.

Great job on this video. I love the editing and how you tied the podcast into your story line. That's a cool way to pull b-roll into your video. I also really like what you said about the negative placebo effect of using sleep apps. I think that's a valid point.

Something I like to do some nights is play sounds of rain and thunder. It helps me get calm and relaxed. Have no idea if it actually gets me to sleep faster but laying in bed relaxed is good enough for me to keep doing it. Something I’ll do once in a blue moon is take an edible about an hour or two before bed. It makes me very sleepy and can make me feel extremely well rested the next day. Just have to be careful. Doing it too much can make your body rely on it for sleep. Which is why I limit myself to once or twice a month but I also like to take long breaks where I don’t touch THC at all. Also when I was a kid I use to listen to the radio while I slept. I wish I wrote down all the songs the station use to play. I can remember the ones they played all the time when I hear them but I wish I had a list of all the songs. I don’t even remember what station it was that I listened to. XD

Love the addition of outside resources to learn/play more (the inclusion of the test to find out my own chronotype) keep up the great work!

I have always struggled with falling asleep and melatonin definitely helped me with that regard. I never had issues with sleep quality just with falling asleep, because I can't stop thinking. Also I have the problem, that I am serious night owl. I can really feel, that my focus is way better in the evening and night than during the day and especially the morning, but this is not compatible with most jobs

Brown noise/ rain sounds/ lofi beats with no light help block out sounds of vehciles as I'm in busy London and it also helps me relax to then eventually fall asleep.

I like to count downwards from 100 and breathe deeply, whilst imagining my body being deeply relaxed, from the top of my head to my toes. Works for me.

Finally out of the 'wake up at 6' bubble. What's worked best for me is to eat early. Even that is something I learned from your videos!

The test was extremely accurate! They estimate my natural sleep time is 12:30 and what do you say, I feel sleepily at the exact time everyday

I found that 5 minutes of cardiac coherence breathing is really helping reduce stress and anxiety. Therefore, it does help massively for sleeping. Thank you for that helping video

As someone who never comments on videos, I sincerely want to thank you for all of this information. This changes so many things for me!

Hi Ali, What I try to do before sleeping is to take advantage of the 5 to 10 minutes before sleep when the subconscious mind is open in order to add some new and fresh ideas and delete and edit the old ones, but what happens actually is I still thinking (which is wrong) and fall sleep before doing any changes.😇

during the first year of pandemic, classes were done online and i honestly had difficulty focusing and ended up wasting my time just playing around. The act of wasting my time eventually built anxiety because i wasn't being productive and i wasn't able to go to sleep with comfort, so i started to study or do something productive before sleep so i won't feel like i'm useless.

Thanks, it was very insightful

I'm glad to hear that 8 hours of sleep is not required. I always told myself that if I could get 6-7 hours of sleep, that's more than enough to keep my functioning. As for tips for sleep, been using ASMR for a decade now and maybe it's because I like the gentleness in voice and sound, but it soothes the atmosphere and that's enough to put me to sleep even if I'm rather awake.

Thanks for the information, I agree with this, so many individual sleep habits and things to think about. Needing Day Light exposure and good healthy routines, are the best way to go! Sleep APP Myths Busted. TY!

Sleep expert Russel Foster confirmed that how I sleep is good for me and not need at all to be worried about my sleep and so that makes me feel relieved and I hope to sleep even better with that stress off my shoulders and thoughts. Thank you. I also never nap and he said that was the ideal sleep pattern.

Basically the way the internet works is to blow out of all proportion any vaguely interesting trial result, until it becomes dogma. The internet never circles around and corrects itself later (this video notwithstanding) so the dogma persists until the end of time. Maybe that's why we don't find aliens, maybe this is how all civilisations end 🙂

Thank youuuu so much!🙏🏼

Thanks for Ali for your methods.

I find that taking plant-based and melatonin pills before going to bed really helps me. I have huge troubles falling asleep and will toss and turn for hours, but with the melatonin I usually fall asleep in 30 minutes to 1 hour, which is really, really helpful to me.

Exercising after work! I used to work out in the morning and would be dozing off at my desk by noon. It makes me so tired, so when I'm ready for bed, I fall asleep fairly quickly. Also, reading before bed helps too!

"Focus your activities around your chronotype" Kind of hard to do when I've worked late shifts, evenings and nights, for my entire working life, and all the jobs that are hiring for decent pay want people to drag themselves into work at 8 in the morning.

For me, I have to get out my energy for a day or i'll be anxiety ridden or stressed by bed time. Exercise is a must for me! Night walks are my best friend!

Personally, one thing that helps me sleep better is to hide my alarm clock because I'm often stressed about the time: what time is it, omg, I have to sleep, it's past 2am etc. since I've followed this trick, I tend to fall asleep faster than normally in case of insomnia.

Watching this at 1am when I can’t sleep. Brilliant 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject ..... Thanks to Gianna Everett the lady you recommended.....

I have ADHD, and I find melatonin INCREDIBLY helpful in quieting my mind so I can sleep. It's often the difference between getting to bed on time, and not being able to sleep until hours later. Just as the duration of sleep is not one size fits all, there are exceptions to some of these myths.

Shit, maybe I have ADD because it's hard to focus and melatonin helps me sleep earlier and a bit better.

Fellow attention deficit here. I have to say that Adderall actually made sleep so much better for me. I still struggle with sleep, but since I started on it almost 3 years ago the difference between having 11-12 hours OR MORE and still not feeling rested and getting 5-9 hours and feeling pretty good is massive. I have one or two days in my history where I sleep for 25 hours uninterrupted and it was awful to lose all that time. Now I have days where I never go beyond 12, and those days are maybe once every other month or so. Just food for thought. Not everyone is the same, and not everyone will respond well to Adderall.

I realise not just the length of sleep is important but the quality as well. I can get 8 hours of sleep but sometimes, my sleep is disrupted in the middle due to noise. It really makes me groggy in the morning

I used to sleep for over 9 hours daily otherwise I'll feel tired and found it hard to concentrate. I found we can rewire our brain and be ok with sleeping less. Now I'm sleeping 7 hours. I know it can be too much for some people, but small progress is progress. Everyone can achieve this as long as their are aware and wanting to change.

My issues with sleep were anxiety based so taking an anti anxiety before bed helps keep me asleep and puts me out faster.

The game changer for me was when I figured out going to bed after midnight increases the chances of sleeping through the night immensely. And that if I spent half the night awake I usually fall asleep between 5 and 7 again, I could make with the sleep I get then. 4 years working 9-5 hasn't changed that it's still incompatible to my optimal sleep pattern 😅

I feel so related to the subject of this video. Thank you so much Ali for this great video and information.

I have zero problem falling asleep but I do struggle to wake up in the colder and darker months. I also feel like I need more sleep in the Winter. Summer it's much easier. Also I've noticed when I have something to look forward to, like a hobby or project I'm working on (or even a new video game 😂), I wake up almost instantly because I'm excited to get going.

Man i didnt even recognize you at first but HOLY HELL YOUR CHANNEL HAS GROWN lol. Good to see. I loved watching your medical student videos!

I sleep for 8 hours from 9:30 pm to 5:30am. Sleeping while it's dark outside greatly improved the quality of my sleep.

Melatonin has definitely helped me get back on track at times when my sleep pattern has been off. It wasn't jet lag, but it makes sense that he said that because it also relates to fixing the timing of the sleep

The issue is melatonin research shows there's zero evidence it works as an occasional sleep aid. You need to take it everyday at the same time for weeks/months, otherwise it isn't doing anything. What's more likely is that placebo is working.

Thank you for the informative video

Hi ! To everyone who sleeps a lot or never feel rested enough, beside the traditional blood check prescribed by doctors, have you tried seing a sleep doctor and done a polysomnography ? I used to never be able to sleep enough and turns out I have Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (similar to restless legs but only during the night) because of which my sleep had a bad quality (many micro wake-ups, even though I didn't perceive them) -> even though I slept many many hours it never seemed to be enough. I feel much better now. Thought I would share because at that time nobody recommended me to go see a sleep doctor (my family doctor did'nt think about it), the only one who recommended it to me was my grandfather, who had read an article about sleep doctors in the newspapers. Thanks to him I feel much better (it's been 8 years) ❤ Hope it helps and can help change some people's daily life, just as it did for me. 🙏🏻

I listen to boring podcasts while I'm trying to sleep. It really helps me and stops me from thinking about the things that make me anxious and unable to sleep.

only thing that has consistently helped with my sleep anxiety is 8 hour rain sounds on KZread. helps me so much.

Great video. Last night I was up 5 times with my 2 year old and got up at 5.25 am I feel unsurprisingly terrible...my Garmin gave me a 87 sleep score. 😂 On a more serious note melatonin supplementation has pretty much changed my autistic 7 year olds life for the better. He would regularly stay up till 2300 hours (and we had literally tried EVERYTHING from speaking to specialists to natural remedies) we give him it before he has big days at school once or twice a week and he's out cold within 30 minutes of going down and wakes up in a WAY better mood.

Definitely breathing exercises are extremely underrated imo. It helps calm your entire body down and prepare it and your mind for sleep.

How much you sleep doesn't matter. Whom you sleep with matters.

Thank you for this. A lot of people ate stuck in a sleep anxiety cycle because of the many mytes out there.

It's insane to me that these studies are saying melatonin doesn't help. Most of my life it would take me 2-3 hours to fall asleep, and as soon as I started taking melatonin, that was often closer to 15 minutes... It's a total life changer for me.
