yeah I’m back and we’re gonna talk about

sleeping pills and insomnia sleeping

pills are almost at the top of the list

so many people have a sleeping problem

but I’m going to give you some really

important tips that I think can really

improve the quality of your sleep now I

personally had a problem with sleeping

in my 20s it was so bad sometimes there

are nights I don’t even sleep one minute

so I do understand the feeling of not

being able to sleep it’s literally

torture because you’re laying there just

trying all these techniques and you’re

getting all worked up and it’s just

really frustrating

now there’s two big problems with

sleeping pills and I’m gonna put some

links down below just to validate what

I’m talking about but number one your

side effects okay six out of ten people

have side effects from sleeping pills so

the next day you feel drowsy or you have

confusion or forgetfulness or you’re

tired I mean the goal of sleeping is to

recharge your body so you can have

energy through the day not feel this way

and based on several studies the

benefits from sleeping pills are not as

great as you might think because some of

them only give you a small amount of

extra sleep it’s less than thirty

minutes and only help you go to sleep

between eight and twenty minutes faster

and even doctors don’t recommend taking

this on a consistent basis because when

you stop taking it now you really can’t

sleep so it comes with a package so here

are some things that I would recommend

number one read a book instead of

watching TV before you go to bed sounds

very simple but it really does work you

should try it going for a long walk

between 45 and 60 minutes so I always

sleep better on the days that I go for

these long walks it’s low stress lots of

oxygen also stretching before bed

essential especially if you’re on the

computer all day some of you may have

seen this in other videos but it’s an

acupressure technique you can use a

device like this or have someone do it

on you okay you’re going to be putting

pressure and the upper part of your neck

while you lay down on the couch

or I’m gonna show you another way to do

it so you can apply this in someone else

or they can do it to you but this

technique will completely relax all the

muscles in your back to the point where

you can drift off into a wonderful sleep

next thing is to be careful of the

amount of caffeine that gets built up in

your liver and your liver sometimes

can’t detoxify it so that extra caffeine

will keep you up

coffee tea chocolate course sodas but if

you’ve been watching my channel you’re

not consuming sodas but caffeine isn’t a

lot of things it’s even in certain

medications and it’s an energy drink so

we want to avoid those now another good

remedy is l-tryptophan l-tryptophan

turns into serotonin and melatonin which

is the sleep hormone so this is a really

good amino acid but it needs to be taken

on an empty stomach because it’s a

building block of protein if you consume

protein at the same time they’ll both

compete and you won’t get the effect of

l-tryptophan at all in fact if you eat

protein with this you will feel

absolutely no change I never recommend

taking melatonin now because this is a

hormone and over time you need more and

more and more now this sleep aid that I

recommend not only has up tryptophan but

it has all sorts of other ingredients to

extract stress and allow you to drift

off into a wonderful sleep so you can

wake up and not feel Josie I put a link

down below for more information on that

alright so now I’m going to show you the

technique go ahead and practice it do it

and put your comments below a technique

that I’m going to teach you right now of

how to extract stress from the body and

I would use this as a before and after

to see the change one of the biggest

things that this technique is going to

help you with is to improve your quality

of sleep sleep is everything it’s going

to help you cope with stress it’s going

to help you rejuvenate it’s going to

increase your tolerance for stress in

fact you cannot heal the adrenals

without sleep it’s impossible how are

you gonna get rid of sleep problems if

you have stress and I’m talking about

accumulative stress in your body so so

yes we need to go for long walks when

you get spaced we need to eat better

the first technique we’re going to show

you is how to get rid of stress in your

neck

okay so that’s going to be a very cool

technique and there’s different points

in the neck that we’re going to work on

and then we’re gonna work on the points

in the mid-back and then the abdomen

area then in the upper part of the

ribcage where a lot of people hold a lot

of stress so with that let’s get right

to it and show you how to do this

technique okay so we’re going to show

you how to pull stress out of the body

the first technique is the called the

upper cervical now what we gonna do is

you’re gonna take this is meant to be

done on someone else so hopefully you

have a twin or a partner you can do this

I’m going to show you how to do it to

yourself but this is great to do it on

someone else okay so you want to use

this finger here this one I’m not

flipping you off this is this is just a

middle finger right here and then your

thumb okay and then we’re gonna press

this way right underneath her skull and

the most important thing is not to mess

up your hair okay so we’re going to

there’s this little Ridge right

underneath the skull you’re going to

slip right underneath it and you’re

going to press in equally okay and

you’re going to take your hand and press

in the forehead so you’re going to press

in right like this you feel that and the

key is to make sure that your equal like

the thumb and the middle finger are the

pressure so you not too much on one side

now what I’m doing now is I’m

stimulating something in your neck that

is triggering the kind of the the brake

pads or the it’s called the

parasympathetic nervous system which is

the relaxation points in the body and

the parasympathetic nervous system that

comes out at this level of your spine

kind of helps you sleep it helps you

relax and so that’s why the more that I

do this the more that you’re going to

feel like you want to take a nap

how does it feel so far you’re gonna go

to sleep I thought so so I’m just

pressing in right underneath that and

I’m just gonna hold that for about an

hour

yeah I’m just kidding but if I keep

doing this she’s gonna feel very relaxed

so this is like the real key de-stresser

point it’s gonna pull the stress right

out of your body now I’ll do this for a

little bit maybe for like a minute and

then I’ll slip down to the second

vertebra right here this one is really

good for sinus issues so do you have any

sinus issues did you want any okay so

the sinus points it just helps you

breathe and it’s good for people that

have sleep apnea so again I’m just

pressing my fingers in this way in the

head that way okay so we’re gonna come

right in there

alright and then I’ll slowly kind of

come down and I’m looking for tightness

if there’s no tightness I’m not going to

press on it now when I come down to the

third vertebra on her left side there’s

a big knot it’s tight so what I’ll do is

I’ll just press a little more towards

the left side and it’s gonna make her

neck feel really good it’s gonna put the

curve back in the neck so I’m just kind

of creep down lower lower till they get

right here this is not c5 this one is

really good if you have a sore throat or

a rasp enos like you’re your voice is

hoarse let’s say you’re a musician you

like you sing or you speak for a living

and your voice is kind of raspy you do

this and it kind of opens up the voice

now do you feel this point how tight

this is right here yeah so I’m just

holding this pressure until it melts

okay

I’m not pressing that hard and then now

I’m going to go all the way down very

lower like to the lower points that’s

this is c6 this is really good for the

thyroid thyroid points but what I’m

gonna do is I’m gonna hold this until

the entire neck is nice and loose and

she’s gonna feel very relaxed in the

neck so many people hold stress in the

neck okay look at it right through in

there you feel this point right here so

I’m emphasizing the left side because

it’s it’s kind of really tight on the

left okay so how does that feel you like

that yeah okay good so you can let’s

let’s get the next victim I mean the

next patient all right so we’re gonna

show you how to do this on yourself you

need a device like this this is built

after my own hand

okay and this is great for different

sizes of people look at the real wide

one here this is for the top part of the

neck this is for different parts of the

neck this is for different size people

we’re going to take the widest one on

myself hook it on the back of my neck

scoot this down on a tall back chair or

the couch I think this works better then

using it on your pillow and when you’re

going to sleep at night because you’re

at a certain angle and you can apply it

you can sit back and just let these

points press right into your neck and

there’s a sweet spot that you want to

hit that you’ll just feel like the

maximum release of stress and you’ll

just want to take a nap I fell asleep

sometimes I’ll do this on my desk up

with my feet up and I’ll sit back and I

will just like go right out this is like

the most important acupressure point for

your entire spine to feel relaxed and to

melt because you’re hitting a point

called the parasympathetic the origin of

the person to the nervous system which

is right there and that’s the turn off

switch that’s like the rest and digest

that’s your relaxation points and then

you do that for a little while and then

you come down to the next point through

here second one and I had a history of a

lot of neck problems so I do this a lot

to keep my neck nice and relaxed okay

then I’ll inch down to the middle part

like c5 and this is again really good

for tension in your upper your upper

shoulders and also good for your believe

it or not it’s going to help your voice

yeah hoarseness because what you’re

doing is you’re putting stimulating

these points that bring circulation to

the entire front part of your neck and I

always tell people don’t believe me just

do it and just tell me what you feel be

skeptical and see if it prove it to

yourself and 9 out of 10

it seems to work so you should try it

okay so that’s so you want to start out

with this first one the second third

fourth and just kind of like ease down

to the lower part of your neck okay so

that’s how you do the neck point now

this one here you want to go right up

underneath the clavicle collarbone and

you’re gonna stretch back like this
