hey dr. Burke here and this video I’m

gonna talk about sleep and why people

can’t sleep the main reason is they have

stuck 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 will elevate it

shrinks a nerve it’s the called the

hypoglossal nerve that’s the twelfth

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

and the other thing that causes sleep

problems is the bladder so waking up

urinating a lot again that would be

adrenal yeah the other thing that will

cause sleep problems would be a lack of

calcium from acid urine and consuming

lots of acid foods and it depletes the

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 win down mentally

in your head so your head is basically

tired but it can’t relax so you need

some simple 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 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

vitamin called b1 b1 helps to counter

stress

if you’re gonna 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 yeah I’m sorry I’m

sorry nutritional yeast at the health

food store that way you know it’s not

synthetic

but that B vitamin really is wonderful

for extracting the the sensation of the

nervousness the nervous restlessness

that people get when they’re sleeping 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 that I have found over

the last 23 years
