hey Dr Berg here in this video I’m going to talk about sleep and why people can’t sleep the main reason is they have stuck uh encapsulated energy in their body it’s some old stress that’s built up from old injury and old infection that’s one of the things that will definitely keep you from sleeping and you can learn that in my acupressure course but today we’re going to talk about some of the common remedies for the different problems because there’s different types of sleep problems you have sleep apnea which basically is high level of that cortisol that stress hormone that causes belly fat and that elevate it it shrinks a nerve it’s the called the hypoglossal nerve that’s the 12 cranial nerve and that nerve goes to the nasal passages right here when it shrinks it shuts down the air so the person can’t breathe and especially at night because that’s when it’s activated so during the day it might be okay um and the other thing that uh causes sleep problems is the bladder so waking up urinating a lot again again that would be adrenal yeah the other thing that will cause uh sleep problems would be a lack of calcium from Acid urine and um consuming lots of acid foods and it depletes the uh calcium or it could be high levels of cortisol depleting the calcium and that sensation would be difficulty getting to bed because you can’t wind down mentally in your head so your head is basically tired but it can’t relax so you need some simp Le calcium take calcium citrate or calcium lactate take it before you go to bed like five and you’ll go out and by the way as a side note for children every single childhood illness I don’t care what it is fever or infection I give my kids calcium and it knocks it out fast it helps them sleep because one thing that will keep you up is those kids so definitely give them some calcium you can give it to them even if they’re very very small crush it up put it in applesauce give it to the kid and he’ll be sleeping like a baby of course crying all night night waking you up so the other thing you want to do is when you go through a mental stress and you’re thinking a lot you deplete the a vitamin called B1 B1 um helps to counter stress if you’re going to take B1 make sure that you consume it naturally because most B vitamins are made synthetically one thing that I recommend is you can just get it from Brewers um I’m sorry nutritional yeast at the health food store that way you know it’s not synthetic but that be um vitamin really is wonderful for extracting the the sensation of the nervousness the nervous restlessness that people get when they’re sleeping um so when they take it they almost feel like they have more tolerance to stress so that would be some common causes of sleep problems um that I have found over the last 23 years
