so today we’re going to talk about the

seven reasons why you are up through the

night and you can’t sleep through the

entire night if you have a problem

sleeping this is a very important video

I’ve done other videos that explain

parts of this but I’ve never done a

video that explains all the reasons so

this is based on working with 40,000

people over 29 years okay so this is the

stuff that will help you number one high

blood sugar if you’re diabetic or a

pre-diabetic and you have high blood

sugars what happens is that water

follows this sugar so you’re gonna end

up peeing more especially at night

so just by fixing the blood sugar issue

you’ll be able to hold the urine a lot

longer so if you’re new to my channel I

put a link down below of how to do that

number two which relates to one high

insulin which is a little different

insulin stimulates something called the

sympathetic nervous system the system

that’s called the flutter fight like

part of the nervous system that controls

the stress signals okay when you have

too much of this system you will not be

able to hold your bladder so you’re

going to want to get up and go to the

bathroom over and over and over again so

you want to decrease insulin the same

solution that fixes this will fix this I

put a link down below

number three high cortisol this is the

adrenal hormone this is a stress hormone

and what happens is when you go to bed

at night normally you go through four

waves of sleep these are called

circadian waves from a superficial wave

which is the REM sleep to the deep

delta-wave sleep right here with higher

levels of cortisol not only are you not

able to get into the deeper sleep cycles

but usually you’re going to end up

waking up about 2:00 a.m. in the morning

which is exactly when you should have

the deepest sleep and I used to have

this problem as well because I had high

cortisol but you wake up at 2:00 and you

are completely awake in fact you’re more

awake in the middle of the night than

you are during the day yet sometimes

they’re flipped so in the middle of

night when you should be sleeping that’s

when you’re the most awake and then when

you wake up in the morning you’re the

most tired

right here this situation usually occurs

when you have years of stress I put a

link down below of exactly what to do

about it it’s in my stress webinar I

show you how to fix this problem right

here but another thing you can do as a

temporary solution is to take higher

amounts of vitamin d3 it can really help

restore your cortisol levels and before

too much coffee and tea because of the

caffeine it’s a stimulant and it takes a

certain amount for your liver to get rid

of that caffeine personally I consume

one small cup of coffee in the morning

that says I don’t have any tea anything

else

simply because I used to drink a ton of

coffee it’s just something you need to

be aware of because if you’re doing

everything else right and you’re just

doing a little too much of this or too

much of this that could be the reason

why you’re just not sleeping through the

night number five

too much artificial light so let’s say

for example you have a computer job or

you’re behind your computer all day long

and you have this LED screen and you’re

in your eyes this is definitely not good

for the activation of certain hormones

that help you sleep at night so you want

to get a full spectrum light around your

desk in your computer and you also want

to go for a walk

to offset the sitting and from the

computer all day long and also get some

vitamin D or in sunlight on your face

and also one last point when you’re out

in the Sun and I see people wear the

dark glasses and they don’t get any Sun

in their eyes and not to look into the

Sun at 12 o’clock noon okay but just

allow the natural sunlight to penetrate

the eyes so you can have somewhat of a

recharging effect all right number six

sleep apnea very common very simple

solution all you have to do well this is

a temporary solution because vitamin b1

helps a certain area in the brainstem

that’s involved with breathing okay the

breathing centers and if you’re

deficient you’re gonna have a big

problem with this at night so it’s just

a matter of taking some b1 and also

getting rid of the reason why

you’re depleted in b1 the most common

one is you’re consuming too many

carbohydrates okay so it comes back to

these two right here you need to lower

the carbohydrates in your diet and you

also need to take nutritional yeast

which has the natural b1 versus a

synthetic vitamin also be one helps the

excessive thinking all the time that

people are have anxiety and they’re

worried all the time and that nervous

tension that’s going to keep you from

sleeping as well and there’s one more

condition called lactic acidosis as a

byproduct of having too much

carbohydrate and diet and that can build

up and that can actually throw up your

ph well it just so happens that vitamin

b1 gets rid of this this lactic acid

okay

all right I want to talk about the last

one number seven which is pH that can

affect your sleep there’s two situations

one is that your body is too alkaline

and the other is your body’s too acid

now if you’re too alkaline

you’re gonna have a lot of cramping your

muscles are gonna be tense and tight and

there’s nothing that will wake you up

faster than having a charley horse in

the middle of the night okay vitamin D

will also help this vitamin d3 but in

reality you may want to take some

outside of vinegar because these

minerals the alkaline minerals

especially like the magnesium potassium

calcium and even sodium need a certain

pH for those minerals to be activated if

your pH is too alkaline

these minerals just don’t work and so

you’re gonna have a lot of cramping

muscles techne a lot of spasms things

like that so it’s just a matter of

adding the absolute vinegar vitamin d3

would help your calcium absorption

because if you’re low in calcium you

won’t be able to relax too so you might

be exhausted but your head won’t turn

off okay vitamin D will help you with

that vitamin D will also help you with

the high cortisol but also it can act as

an off switch if you’re laying there at

night you just can’t wind down

can help getting you in that deeper

delta-wave sleep now one time I remember

drinking too much kombucha tea it comes

in a bottle like this and it’s very

carbonated very acidic I drank the whole

thing when normally you should drink

like half of it or less than that and I

remember just having these symptoms

right here my pulse rate went up I was

really restless the nervous system was

on edge higher pulse rate and air hunger

so I was sighing frequently like I just

couldn’t get enough air so what you need

to do for this one is alkalize the body

and you can do it several ways you can

do with calcium magnesium or potassium

now you have all seven reasons why

you’re not sleeping apply the one that
