In this video, I’m going to show you how to fall asleep fast with a simple sleep technique. First, let’s take a look at the reasons why you might be having trouble getting to sleep.
1. Overtraining or too much exercise causes the sympathetic nervous system to go up, keeping your adrenaline high and preventing sleep.
2. If your room is too hot, it can interfere with your sleep quality.
3. High carb consumption and stress deplete vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is essential for the parasympathetic nervous system, so a deficiency will keep you up at night. Try taking vitamin B1 before bed for better sleep.
4. Too much caffeine is a common cause of poor sleep.
5. Poor gut health can inhibit good sleep. Kefir as a probiotic can help!
6. Insulin resistance inhibits the absorption of tryptophan, a precursor to melatonin. This can interfere with your ability to fall asleep fast.
7. Some people have trouble sleeping after being on keto or the carnivore diet for a long period of time. This is because their insulin is very low. Try having a cup of berries with your last meal to fix this problem.
8. Sodium deficiency can cause problems with your sleep. This can be caused by fasting, OMAD (one meal a day), or not adding enough sodium to your diet. Low sodium can cause your sympathetic nervous system to go up which can keep you from sleeping.
If you want to know how to fall asleep instantly, try this simple sleep technique! You’re going to breathe in a way that synchronizes your heartbeat and blood pressure to the rhythm of your breathing. This will help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing sleep very quickly.
Try practicing with a timer first! Breathe in for 5 ½ seconds and breathe out for 5 ½ seconds. This will give you about 5 ½ breaths per minute. When doing this technique, breathe through your nose, and within minutes you will fall asleep.

The amazing Dr. Berg is back.
I needed this. I always lay for 30-60 minutes before falling asleep
here it is 5:30 am and I’m still awake😳
almost every night😟
@@doratiscareno5856 Depending on age it could be menopause related, or if not maybe you’re not phsycially active enough and are overresting at weekends etc. Best cure for insomia: early rise, no tea/coffee after 3pm and stop eating by 6pm
this happens to me at least once a week @@doratiscareno5856
@@doratiscareno5856 Me too. I can’t fall asleep every night, now for 2 years already. I am “dead” from that.
Me watching this at 12 Am😅😅
12.14am here in Australia 😩
😅 🦉 🎑
And? Worked?
You’re still in Sympathetic nervous system it seems, please press control alt del and reset that system to get back to sleep
12:54am in Australia 😊
This video is a must thank you Doctor 😊
You’re very welcome!
after 3 days of not so great sleep, this could not come at a better time
Come on try fast and give me the review tomorrow i guess
Magnesium oxide is so underrated! Helps me not only sleep better but also speeds up detoxification from the Thallium in our environment coming from car exhaust, cigar smoke, organic kale, etc. The lighter I feel at night, the heavier I sleep! 🙂 Thanks, Dr. Berg! Have a great day, everyone! 🙌
Take glycinate. Oxide is junk
Oxide is the worst form of mg to take. It has the least bioavailability and absorption rate. It’s mostly used in low grade multivitamins and laxatives. There are much better forms like glycinate and citrate.
I’ve tested the glycinate. Didn’t do anything for me. The oxide fixes my lower back aches and pains quite well. Didn’t want to choose this lower grade magnesium but it seems to be the only one working for me
1. Over training.
2. Your room is too hot.
3. Devoid of B-1.
4. Too much caffeine/carbs.
5. Bad microbiome.
6. Insulin resistance.
7. Deficient in Na.
Reasons for being unable to fall asleep at night. Synchronize your breathing in and out at 5.5 seconds each which gives 5.5 breathes per minute through your nose.
For sleep, how much B1 and in what form?
Thanks. Sadly I have everything except 1, which is actually not a good thing as well because I don’t exercise 🙁
I want tò try a cup of berries in the last meal❤
Amazing video, Dr Berg. Precisely long covid seems to mess with the parasympathetic nervous system since it causes insomnia, increased heart rate, anxiety and panic attacks among other awful symptoms. Thankfully I’ve been recovering gradually by following your advice in your videos. Having some kefir and Magnesium intake before bedtime seem to help get a better sleep. Breathing exercises are also wonderful. Thanks for your continuous support 🙏🏻❤
You should research FLCCC. I Believe they also have assistant protocols for long Convid.
All the best.
Awesome info video thanks for sharing
Glad you liked it
I’ve used this technique for years..but I breath in for 5 seconds hold for 5 and then out for 5 seconds and repeat..it really does work..I find it to calm the mind as well.
The workout thing is interesting, i notice i get the worst sleep on days i workout and a day or two after. I only work out twice a week. I will usually wake up around 4pm, I will be lucky if that means 5 hours. I often have to drink myself back to sleep or I will have trouble driving for work otherwise. Will have to try this and maybe look into some B1.
There is a whole new education out there about menapause….estrogen loss and HRT THERAPY. can you please do a video series on women and HRT PLEASE!!!!!!!….MAJOR CAUSE OF INSOMNIA
Interesting video. My problem is not to fall asleep fast. It is to remain asleep for more than 6 hours.
The Doctor we all need
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it!
Yestrday was my rest day and i ate some sunglower seeds alongside supper, so that kind explains the good sleep. And I also did some calming breaths in the bed.
The amazing Dr. Berg is back
Thank you. Have a nice day!
Thank you so much for this helpful information, Dr Berg. I’ve never had sleep issues before but long covid caused a lot of dysfunctional problems like insomnia but thankfully I’m still recovering following your guidelines on a daily basis improving each day. I’m forever grateful for all your wonderful help 🙏🏻
I’m so glad to help!
Check out FLCCC.
I believe they also have assistant protocols, for long Convid.
All the best.
