Thank you so much for coming back in our life. Your smile means a lot
11:30 I love how not drinking alcohol is seen as an extreme. A really telling footnote on our society.
Im mongolian🇲🇳 audience of you and i really like to watch your worthy videos and i loved to make your advice reality in my own life 💗
I've been awaiting a new vid, for ages! I know you're busy Dr. Sealey, so the effort put forth on this informative-media is so appreciated.
Dr. Izzy has succeeded in bringing medical reviews and terms to be understood easily and smoothly. Thank you for your new video. Welcome back!!
Good Izzy , just some points : There can be several reasons why people often feel tired. Some common factors include inadequate sleep, poor sleep quality, underlying health conditions such as anemia or thyroid problems, excessive physical or mental exertion, stress, poor nutrition, or certain medications. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, get regular exercise, practice good sleep hygiene, and consult a healthcare professional if fatigue persists or becomes chronic.

Science, as in 'real' Science, versus the biased News Medias around the world undermining and even totally corrupting the whole arena by quoting Dishonest Politicians and their little minions, as well as despots, saying "follow the Science", and "I am the Science" (talk about Off-the-Chart Arrogance, from someone w the dirtiest of hands in many deaths). Many young people as well as the less educated, or naive, have no clue about 'what Science is'. Politicians (at least in the United States) should be prohibited from using the Word 'Science'. 🤷♂️ Or perhaps be held accountable for being Liars. (?) What a thought!? A concept?
Thank you Izzy, it is so nice to see you again, and I hope your work is going well!

HI friend jisooya 😊
Your videos are very important for me and made me keep on waiting for next one
I want to learn how to talk like you...nonstop and that too all sensible and to the point...its just amazing👏
Hello Prof. Dr. Izzy. Miss you.. Great work.
your YT vids are very informative and well-curated that's why it's easy to digest! You're my favorite KZreadr now! I'm currently binge-watching your vids! And you're so beautiful and eloquent! Your beauty and the way you talk are both mesmerizing! 🥰💗
Science fascinates me and it spur my curiosity even more, often....thanks for sharing your knowledge with us izzy...
Excellent analysis on sleep patterns
Thanks for this video! I have heard a lot of this before but all a great reminder. One thing personally which is difficult is working out in the morning or earlier in the day. I have 2 young kids so mornings are busy and the best time to workout is evenings normally from 9-10ish. I normally have a snack after and go to bed by 12 and up by 7am. I never feel rested enough the following day. I feel like I have no options but I think I need to work slowly to get up earlier and workout before kids are awake.
Gosh finally u’re back. Cannot find one with the same accent as yours, my favorite
We appreciate your insights. They help us out a lot.

Thank you so much for this video. I've been having trouble sleeping ever since I graduated and started working. And I swear I'm a night-owl, but my mum doesn't believe it. She always says I should wake up and go to bed at the same time as the sun. But now I know that there are other factors involved too. This video is very informative.
Never tired to listen , Dr Izzy 's gorgeus 😍
Hi Izzy, have you ever thought that putting all of your videos on Spotify like a podcast? thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the good work.
This is some good info. I also appreciate when users cite their sources. Doing proper research is important!
I love your videos, you're an inspiration to me. Since I started studying medicine (a year ago) I started to have problems with my sleep so thank you so much for making this video

Dr Izzy, u have such a lovely soothing voice, I just loved to listen to ur video playlist until I fell asleep!!💖😊
Your in depth video on sleep helps shed light on many aspects of getting quality sleep. There are lots of contributing factors to high quality or low quality sleep. Thank your for posting this content! Keep the videos coming! (I'm switching to decaf coffee after 12pm!) 👍👍
l'm totally agree that sleep is the crucial role in our life, it controls all our main organism, body and brain function, your tips make people more effective and connected with our daily lifestyle, we need a lot more to cultivate a good habit, by the way, l can't stop watching your next upcoming video, you can conquer my dream and soul.Thank for sharing us, Dr Izzy. With Great love and respect Kyaw ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome back, Izz ❤ Starting today, I'm cutting off caffeine 10 hours before target bedtime and food 2 hours before target sleep time. Appreciate you making this!!

Thank you so much!,😇🙏❤️, I struggle severely to sleep every night. I will use your advice 100%
Love you. Thanks a lot.
GOD you are back, missed your vlogs so much. Hope you doing well. It is quite obvious & natural too that at some stage of your life you come across these things like feeling sad or a lack of confidence, especially after a big milestone accomplishment , feeling bored, loss of meaning or purpose in life,feeling unfulfilled,feelings of nostalgia, excessively thinking about the past, making impulse actions, feelings of regret. But as I have been closely following you through your vlogs, I strongly feel that you would surely over come your anxiety & so called midlife crisis thing.
Thanks Doc Izzy for the sharing info … now I sleep & rest very well !!! What a great help …. 🥰 ❤️ya 😘 !!!

Izzy! ❤I think it’s really cool that you’re bringing sleep science to a broader audience. I've sent you an email about a 9th tool to add to your sleep arsenal that I think you'll love.
This video came at a perfect time! I'm testing out the 10-3-2-1-0 method right now for July to see if helps my sleep. I'm not a bad sleeper but sometimes I feel a little tired in the morning and am not as ready to get up.

I learned a lot today how to get a good night sleep thanks Dr Izzy
thanks for valuable health tips, God bless you
That's what i really need to learn!!!!
well said doctor
Just recall one idea on how to boost energy. Or maybe 2: 1) Switch activity. E.g. if you sit and Edit video for youtube, like I did just right now and get bored, then do some other activity for 20 min - wash those dirty dishes, do some exercises to loose weight or take your guitar and play favorite songs 2) Do something that you like the most. I have just did it and... after playing AC/DC Back in black I broke 4th string. 4th string, Karl! Usually it is one of thin strings (1st or 2nd). So, no I have another activity to fix this :D Anyway, it is important to have fun, to have some hobbies or activities which makes you happy. As Richard Bah said in "Illusions" - we live to have fun and learn something new (self-development). Of cause there are other purposes, like helping others and raise up children but we frequently forget to have fun. Please keep this in mind and "Let the Fun with you beee" ⛲♨🎶🎹🏃♂
