what would happen if you got nine hours of sleep  for seven days in a row let’s talk about that so  

i’ve been doing a lot of videos on sleep um  for quite some time and then it dawned on me  

i only get about six and a half hours of sleep  so i wanted to do an experiment with myself  

so i started to get nine hours of sleep but  first let’s talk about what happens when you get  

not enough sleep poor sleep and i’m not just  talking about not enough hours of sleep i’m  

talking about the quality of sleep as well well  if you get poor sleep your immune system is going  

to be affected you’re going to be more susceptible  to getting sick okay even infections your risk for  

heart attacks and stroke are going to go up you’re  going to have altered blood sugars where you’re  

going to be more hungry and you’re going to crave  things because when you don’t get enough sleep  

that spikes cortisol and that alters your blood  sugars and if you’re already a diabetic it’s  

going to make things worse it’s going to affect  your cognitive function in focus concentration  

and memory it’s definitely going to affect your  mood you’re going to feel more irritable it can  

also increase your stress level your tolerance  for certain people it’s going to be lower and  

you’re going to gain more weight because most of  the fat burning is at night and growth hormone is  

mainly activated at night and growth hormone  is the main fat burning hormone all right so  

let me just talk about what’s happening with me  um with this nine hours of sleep and it’s quite  

incredible i love it and i i’m gonna continue this  because normally my neck is very stiff i have a  

lot of arthritis in my neck for mold injuries now  it’s completely loosened up i don’t hear any more  

grinding i don’t have any more inflammation in my  neck i have more flexibility very interesting the  

next thing i want to talk about is my mood  it’s definitely higher for sure i have more  

tolerance to stress i’m just more up which is very  another interesting point the next point is i have  

way more focus and more concentration when i don’t  get enough sleep and i’m doing these videos i’m  

doing a lot more editing okay now i do a lot less  editing because i’m just right there right there  

i’m just sharper very distinct difference in my  cognitive function next thing is i’m not hungry  

hardly at all i notice when i don’t get enough  sleep i’m more hungry during the day because  

my blood sugars are affected the next thing i  want to mention is my endurance with exercise  

walking up a hill when i don’t get enough sleep i  definitely don’t have the endurance now i seem to  

have an unlimited amount of endurance i don’t get  tired and the last point is i’m getting much much  

better recovery from my workouts so i just don’t  have that soreness i bounce back faster and i feel  

that there’s just much much better recovery going  on in my body now here’s the thing for years i’ve  

been getting up at like 4 or 4 30. you know so  i’d be getting about six hours and i would usually  

take a nap but at the very most i would get about  six and a half hours and of course for years  

i got so much more done than the average person  because if you’re up at 4 30 and you’re doing  

all this research and doing videos that’s a lot  of extra time compared to the average person  

now that i’m sleeping longer i like the way  that i feel compared to the six and a half hours  

the problem is it’s very difficult for me  to sleep past six and a half hours so i’ve  

been training my body to get more sleep and i’m  going to tell you kind of what i’ve been doing  

so first of all i’m in bed by 9 30 okay i’ll  take my friendly bacteria probiotic i’ll take  

one capful of this okay and just it helps me sleep  okay and i will take one magnesium lactate okay  

this is standard process you can use other types  of magnesium and i’ll take three of my sleep aid  

okay that combination seems to really help me  because when i wasn’t taking those i would wake up  

at two three maybe four and i just had a hard time  getting back to bed so this combination seems to  

be helping because now this puts me out real fast  i’ll wake up at 2 30 maybe 3 30 and then i’ll lay  

there for about 15 minutes and i can go right back  to bed now at first what was happening the first  

half of my sleep was pretty good but the last  50 of my sleep i would have to kind of go into  

a rem sleep okay which is a superficial sleep very  similar to uh feeling awake and then kind of pop  

out of it and then later for a while go back into  a rem sleep for a little bit pop back out and then  

go back one more time so i was going through  this cycle of three times waking up going back  

waking up going back waking up so the combination  nutrition is helping to the point where i just get  

up once and i can go back to bed and i’m finding  the more i do this the easier it is because i’m  

training my body to stay in bed until i actually  achieve like nine hours of sleep now the other  

thing that i found is i have to exercise one hour  a day because if i don’t i have so much energy my  

body is just not tired so i have to physically  do a lot to get my body tired so i’ll do a  

combination of compound resistant type exercise  and i will also do um some high intensity interval  

training mix in with that every single day so  anyway i wanted to share this whole sleep thing  

because i’m really digging this extra sleep and  i never really actually would realize this until  

i actually went through it because now i have  something to compare it to and i feel much better  

with more sleep and so i’m going to stick with it  hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of
