Fri, 14 Oct 2022 - 11min - 212 - How To Sleep: The Ultimate Guide To Getting The Sleep You Need: 1700s vs. 2022
The instruction manual for how to sleep in the 1700s vs. 2022 (partial satire).
If you wanted to go to sleep in the 1700s, this is what you do:
- Lie down in bed Close your eyes.
In 2022, this is what you’re told to do, and there are 24 steps:
- Avoid snacks or food 3-4 hours before bedtime No screens 3-4 hours before bedtime Cover all windows and lights in the bedroom Make the room slightly cooler Use the bed for sleep and sex only. Go to bed and wake up at same time every night Sleep for 7-8 hours No alcohol before bed 9. No coffee 6 hours before bedtime If you can’t fall asleep within 30 minutes, get out of bed and read in dim (incandescent) light until drowsy Take hot bath 20 minutes before bedtime Address any nasal congestion (air purifier for allergies, breathe right strips, nasal saline irrigation) Allergy-proof your bedroom (no rugs/carpeting, allergy sheets, and bedding, HEPA filter) Brush your teeth and wash your face Eat a high-fat meal 3-4 hours before bedtime. Consider the Keto or Carnivore diet with lots more saturated fat and proteins Exercise outdoors in the sunlight Get lots of sun exposure for vitamin D and near-infrared light for mitochondrial melatonin and its anti-oxidant properties Check to make sure your vitamin D level is above 60, and supplement as needed, along with K2-MK7 Do meditation/relaxation/stretching/deep breathing exercises to lower your stress levels Make sure you checked off all 20 items on this list so far Lie down in bed Don’t stress about not doing everything on this list, or not being able to fall asleep. Close your eyes.

Thu, 11 Jul 2019 - 39min - 120 - How Better Sleep Can Help You Lose Weight [Podcast 66]
Summer is in full swing and there's no better time to get fit and get slim than now. And I know that a lot of our listeners are starting their Keto, Paleo, Whole30 or whatever diets that are really popular right now. And there's nothing wrong with that. But tin this podcast Kathy and I will talk about an issue that not a lot of people think about when they're going on a diet or they're starting off trying to lose weight. And that issue is, are you sleeping well? Are you sleeping long enough? And that's something that most of us don't think about. We don't connect sleep with weight, but that's a huge, huge problem that one needs to address before you do any sort of diet regimen.
