How To Fall Asleep Quickly & Sleep The Entire Night

Instead of sleeping, I think watching a video about sleep is better

I swear, it’s always been “never sleep like this! never sleep like that!”, but thank you for going so so so in depth, even with something as simple as sleep

I was born with a sleep disorder that was ignored by doctors for decades despite how severely the sleep deprivation was affecting my health. If you have found that you struggle to fall asleep & stay asleep when you're "supposed to" and naturally want to stay awake when you are meant to be sleeping, I'd take a moment to seriously consider if you may have an irregular circadian rhythm. Discovering I had delayed sleep phase syndrome and transitioning to overnight shifts was honestly life altering and improved my health and sleep quality substantially. When you have insomnia, you learn that there are so many little factors that contribute to the quality of your sleep that most people don't even think about!

Sleep game-changer: separate blankets. Years ago my husband and I stayed at a hotel where the “king” bed was two twins pushed together, with separate blankets and everything. We slept so much better each having our own blanket, we went out and bought two twin comforters as soon as we got home. He’s always warm and I’m always cold, plus when one of us moves the other doesn’t feel it. We’ve had this arrangement for a decade and now whenever we stay somewhere and have to sleep under one blanket it drives us nuts!

When my kiddo was young, I explained the difference between nocturnal and diurnal. She then coined the term flocturnal specifically for me, because "daddy, you never sleep."

I had awful sleep problems but I found that I needed to listen to something really boring, so I listened to politicians talking in Parliament and it's like magic 😂😂

Thank you for taking about sleep divorce. I was married twice, and both of my former spouses slept better while holding me or up against me. Without fail, i was awake until they were deep enough asleep that i could push them off of me and scoot to the edge of the bed so i wasn't touching them so i could finally sleep. I've held on to this in my current relationship, and finally found a partner who also sleeps better alone

The link between dietary habits and sleep was particularly intriguing. Looks like I could do with a bit more exercise and less late-night snacking to improve my sleep quality

I shared a twin bed with a 95lb dog for a year. Upgraded to a queen, but she took her half out of the middle. Then I had knee surgery. She knew something was different and she needed to be gentle around me. She slept in another room for a month before moving back into my room, but now she sleeps on the dog bed on the floor that I've had for her the whole time. But she is also the loudest snorer I've ever heard, and you could hear my grandpa from outside the house.

If you’re thinking about a sleep divorce, I suggest trying a blanket divorce first. My spouse and I sleep in the same bed but with our own blankets and it helps a TON with reducing the movements that wake you up.

A few years ago I discovered the reason I couldn't fal asleep quick my whole teen and adult life. It's because I unconsciously frown when I try to sleep because I am unable to sleep(if you get what I mean). Once I learnt to relax my facial muscles and stop frowning, sleep came to me more naturally.

My cat Marsmallow sleeps in my bed, but near my feet, and she never moves/disturbs me. She is a great sleeping buddy!

My past wife and I almost never slept in the same bed once we had an established relationship. I think it helped us immensely because it was the only way we could get a good night's rest.

My husband and I always had separate bedrooms, and honestly, it was the best thing for our relationship! Not only helped for general sleeping, but if one of us was sick, it just made so much sense to sleep separately.

I found out over the years that as far as cotton sheets is concerned, the lower the thread count the better we sleep. Even in the winter time, the higher thread count was keeping too much heat trapped, making it really uncomfortable to sleep. The lower thread count feels slightly more "rough" but boy does it make a huge difference. So much better sleep.

I’ve had a dog sleep in my bed for ages- super cuddly and actually slept. My cat on the other hand thinks bedtime is play time and practices his yodeling- absolutely horrible for slept- makes a great alarm though, up at 5am EVERY day, even when I need to sleep in.

I have cats and they don’t really sleep in my bed with me if my fiancé and I are sleeping. They sleep next to us or on the foot of the bed if it’s just one of us. It’s nice waking up and seeing them somewhere on the bed.

0:10 and instead of sleeping I’m watching this magnificent video 😁

Me watching this at 1am after drinking the rest of my energy drink and its literally like 72 degress in my house
