so i wanted to create a video on all the  different possible reasons that is keeping you from sleeping i’ve done a series of videos on  sleep and how important it is for everything from your memory to your metabolism to your blood  sugars okay so let’s just go through the list if you have cramping which can keep you up at  night it’s a simple solution calcium and magnesium all right hot flashes that could keep you upright  iodine in the form of seek help i recommend that vitamin e in the form of tocatrinols which  will support the pituitary which is a key gland to help prevent high flashes now you can  also take calcium diglucrate which can help hot flashes as well but most of the time it’s going to  be vitamin e sometimes you have to add some iodine and that should handle it but we’re  really doing with an imbalance of low progesterone extremely low progesterone and  low estrogen but the ratios are off okay a stuffy sinus congestion can keep you from sleeping  because you’re not going to be able to breathe the first thing you need to do is avoid dairy  any type of dairy products because that’s going to create mucus and it’s going to stuff up  your nose i also notice if when people drink wine every night that can make their nose stuffy  and i don’t know if it’s the alcohol directly or the sulfites i’m not sure but typically there’s  something you’re eating that could be causing the sinuses to be stuffy if you have a year-round  mucous congestion oregano and garlic seems to work really good but again if you have sinus problems  there’s more data on this i put a link down below to learn more about it excessive urination  that’s going to keep you up some people get up 10 times a night to urinate completely unnecessary  and this can be fully handled if you lower your insulin how do you do that healthy keto and  intermittent fasting i put a link down below but if you’re new to my channel i’m telling you  this is like a no-brainer it works nearly 100 of the time um because anytime your blood sugars  are high or you have insulin resistance water follows sugar so you’re going to urinate more  frequently especially at night all right restless leg syndrome okay this is a simple b1 deficiency  it’s typically occurring because you’re consuming too many carbs that’s depleting your vitamin  b1 the best source of b1 is nutritional yeast and that will get rid of your restlessness in  your legs now i used to have this so bad for so many years i didn’t know what it was i would  actually have to get up literally pound my legs or massage them or go for a run because i  had all this energy trapped up i had no idea it was the high carbs okay and the b1 deficiency  now if you’re over training or exercised too much that can also cause the same thing a buildup  of lactic acid or restlessness and b1 actually gets rid of lactic acid in the body but  also omega-3 will help all right sleep apnea this is a situation where you’re getting a thickening  of the passages in the back of the nasal area and the solution would be to decrease insulin  i’ve done videos on this just do healthy keto and intermittent fasting and you will see a  progressive improvement over time in your sleep apnea okay high cortisol from stress that’s going  to keep you up you want to make sure that you don’t consume stimulants so cut down on the  caffeine and the coffee the tea the chocolate over doing that will definitely keep you up go for  long walks physical work is very very therapeutic around your yard whatever make sure you  turn off the light and not have bright lights right before you go to bed you want  to slowly kind of get away from bright lights emf or your electrical devices around your um your  bed which a lot of times people sleep with their cell phone right next to the bed not a good idea  because emf electromagnetic fields can greatly increase cortisol and there’s a lot more actions  to do but high cortisol will definitely keep you up that was my problem for many years too  there was nights i didn’t even sleep one minute and so i had to handle my the high  cortisol and you can also do a saliva test that measures your circadian rhythms with  cortisol to find out if that’s your problem their home kits you can buy online but it’s  definitely a source of a lot of sleeping problems okay let’s say you can’t fall asleep easily  you’re laying there for hours that was me too and your body just will not go to sleep your  body actually goes through four levels of sleep from a light sleep to a deep sleep  and they they go through like a 90 minute cycle if you go to sleep too late let’s say uh past 12  o’clock now you have to catch the wave so it might be more difficult to go to sleep and you might  have to wait like 90 minutes before you catch the next wave so typically if you go to bed before  10 you’re in good shape personally i go to bed very early like 9 but i get up very early that’s  just what i i seem to like couple reasons why you can’t fall asleep you have a high pulse rate that  could come from a lack of potassium because you don’t like vegetables or or you need potassium or  your ph is too acidic because you are consuming um too much sugar or you’re consuming kombucha tea  which will acidify you and and throw off your ph caffeine from chocolate coffee tea too much of  that will keep you up bloating because you’re you’re not eating the right foods will keep you  from falling asleep low potassium foods will keep you from falling asleep in fact i’ve noticed when  i don’t consume enough vegetable like for example seven cups or like a big salad and i skip that  it’s more difficult to go to sleep because i just don’t have the potassium so leafy greens  important next point is to be able to relax i created a video on an exercise just to totally  relax your body through the day because so many people are holding tension and they’re they’re  stressed out there’s a great thing you can do i put the link down below you should practice  this through the day when you’re driving a car totally relax your body when you’re  going through stress during the day totally relax your body and that is going to  help you sleep at night all right next thing is restaurant foods i don’t know if you’ve noticed  this but the times that you go out to dinner do you not sleep as well comment down below i’m  curious i found that if i eat out my sleeping isn’t right and i think it’s because of  the the quality of food in restaurants omega 6 fatty acids they’ll use soy or  corn oil not good it affects the liver it affects the gallbladder so try to eat it  at home as much as possible there you have it a lot of the reasons why you can’t sleep hey  before you go real quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof your immune system it’s a  free course i want you to take it and here’s why here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding your
