    Please prepare content on short sleepers like me who just can't sleep for more than 5 hours. I sleep at 9.30 pm last night and can't be in bed after 230 am.

    I suffer from insomnia for a long time, tried everything.. i can tell u guys the nap became my ally.. when i have a nap during the day, i lie down practically at the same.time, not feeling destroyed and have better quality sleep.. the days i dont nap, i, believe it or not, take longer to fall asleep as i am so exhausted and anxious that i wont rest well.. cycle continues

    I have found qigong fairly helpful for falling asleep. Lee Holden's "Qigong for Peace" works for me. I do have to read for a while though, it makes me sleepy. We are all different.

    I just started CBTI and I practice breathing from my diaphragm when I cannot sleep. It helps me focus on something besides not sleeping.
  • @brianw.5230
    Awesome tips! I love meditating when I can't sleep and CBTI is King!
  • @julbears1675
    You described a technique called "diaphragmatic breathing"; I'd just like to say that all breathing is diaphragmatic breathing - unless you are someone who has a machine breathing for them like Christopher Reeves. I'm sure that's not new info to you. Of course, we have some agency over allowing the breath to fill the lower lungs and thus the diaphragm moves the viscera downwards & the belly expands, and we can reset paradoxical breathing. just my two cents. Thank you for your many good ideas! I'm a fan.
  • @arlene1525
    With the breathing method, how many times should you do this and should you be sitting or while lying in bed. Thank you

    there is only one thing you need to understand - you can't control your sleep - if you can't sleep do something you like for 30 mins to an hour and then go back to bed = your brain keeps you awaake /hyperarousal - why because it perceives that you are frightened of being awake - over time your brain will be reassured and ypur sleep will start improvong - be patient = most of the suggestions iin this video have little impact on your sleep - he's interested in business - steer clear of drugs unless you need short term help with anxiety
