(^ We sang this one at Dragon Con in an "elf choir" in "Brie".

We had four part harmony! I think it's a really pretty song)

This is an excellent summary of many tools for promoting regular, good, restorative sleep.

Thank you for posting this. I watched the whole thing. I learned so much!!!

Edit: I forgot to add. Apigenin (one of the supplements he mentions) is naturally found in chamomile.

You're welcome! Glad you liked it. He has a lot of good stuff. I haven't added the cold morning shower yet (shudder!) but I think pretty much everything from him is spot on. I jump out of bed and run outside first thing in the morning to get sunrise or low-horizon sunlight directly in my eyes whenever I can.

I think Apigenin is also in grapefruit? But the concentrations are low. I may try that. But I'm sleeping so much better now from natural rhythm adjustments and CBT-i (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) and circadian rhythm goodness (morning light &, exercise) and light management (avoiding bright evening lights) and having mostly rigid to-bed and rise times, that I generally think I can do without supplements for sleep.

I have ordered magnesium threonate, I already have theanine (but have ordered more), have glycine and GABA and tryptophan (he doesn't mention that, but it's a precursor to melatonin). I tried a 3-way stack the other night (3g glycine, 420mg GABA, 300mg theanine) and BOY the relaxation really hit me about half an hour after that. I was already in bed, and I felt a real "deepening" occur. I was woken by my alarm the next morning (with wake/sleep dozing the final 30 minutes, but I was asleep in a dream when the alarm hit). There are studies that show theanine together with GABA promote more both deeper and REM sleep than either alone. Deep sleep is all good of course, but it's the REM that we're really interested in

. So that's good news.

I'm really grateful I found him and all the other resources available. I've always struggled with regular bed and rise times, but no longer! I'm totally rigorous about them now and after about 4 weeks I REALLY see the difference in sleep quantity and quality!

p.s. you're so lucky to be in a sunny place, with an empty eastern horizon (well I don't know what city your'e in but there is a long eastern-facing coastline of course). I'd SO be there on the beach every sunrise if I lived there...

Thanks Fryingman for introducing me to this channel. Now I have been watching it like crazy. Totally love it. After the video on sleep I watched this one:

So since watching it, a week and a half or so ago, I started doing this. Only eating after 10 am and before 6 pm. I'm not overweight, but want to lose ~10 lbs to be my best self. So far 2-2.5 lbs have literally just fallen off of me in this time. It's not a lot of time, but, the scale is consistently lower every morning. In addition to this, I also added in running 2 miles every evening after dinner (this is in addition to the resistance training I already do). It beats keto dieting, which I have proven to myself time and time again that I cannot sustain, nor is healthy long-term.

I feel like a million bucks. I was looking at myself in the mirror today at the gym and I thought: I love the way I'm looking, no, transforming (which honestly, I haven't loved in a long time).
