S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The answer isn't obscure.
0:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Millions of people really do get it.
0:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's just that billions of people don't get it.
0:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is why trying to be normal is bad for you.
0:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
To overcome insomnia,
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you need a change in confidence level to give you the capacity to follow
0:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the path that works,
0:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
rather than the path that most people take.
0:33
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Nature makes no mistakes.
0:35
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
God does not play dice.
0:37
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Instead,
0:37
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
all of creation springs forth according to a few simple,
0:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
elegant rules.
0:41
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
All of creation,
0:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
including your body.
0:45
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Know these rules and your body comes under your control.
0:48
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Welcome to Mind Over Symptom,
0:50
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
where the pattern is revealed.
0:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Meet Laura.
0:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
She's never been a morning person,
0:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
but she has to earn a living and she works at an environmental cleanup and restoration company.
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
She spends her day dealing with emergencies.
1:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
She's on call about half the time.
1:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The stress is getting her adrenaline so high that when she goes
1:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
home at night,
1:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
typically after putting in 10,
1:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
12, or even 14 hours,
1:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
she just needs to veg out.
1:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
She orders takeout,
1:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
she drinks some wine,
1:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
she plays computer games maybe till midnight or even two or maybe even four in the morning.
1:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
because she can't fall asleep.
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In fact for Laura it's normal for her to go to work with virtually no
1:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sleep at least once a week.
1:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Beyond her acquaintances through online gaming,
1:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
her social life is pretty limited.
1:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Not only does she not have time for a regular social schedule,
1:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
she doesn't have time for a regular exercise schedule either.
1:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Besides,
1:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
she's actually underweight,
1:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and she's got no motivation to change her diet to a healthier one.
1:48
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's hard to order healthy takeout,
1:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
really, and her job makes it very hard to stick to a routine.
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And Laura doesn't have time to cook healthy.
1:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as she's rarely home,
1:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or she might get an emergency call and need to drop everything and head out to do a cleanup.
2:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Laura's been having mild chest pains,
2:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and she's been having anxiety attacks for years now.
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
But recently,
2:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
an acquaintance at work,
2:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
someone younger than Laura,
2:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
died of a lung embolism.
2:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Laura realizes she needs to start living healthier.
2:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Her healthcare practitioner recommends cutting down caffeine,
2:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
improving her diet,
2:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
getting more exercise in and getting enough sleep.
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
But she just can't fall asleep at night and she has to get up early
2:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
in the morning.
2:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
She also can't catch up on weekends because she still wakes up at four or
2:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
five in the morning unable to fall back to sleep.
2:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
When Laura takes a short vacation to catch up on sleep after a business conference
2:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
in Belgium, she realizes that she still can't sleep.
2:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In fact,
2:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the problem just seems to get worse.
2:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Laura is an insomniac.
2:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Medical practitioners define insomnia as difficulty falling asleep or
2:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
difficulty staying asleep during the times when you have the chance to do so.
2:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's not insomnia,
2:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
for example,
2:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
if someone keeps waking you up randomly throughout the night.
3:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's not insomnia if you're really tired at work but you're not allowed
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
to sleep because you're at work.
3:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's not insomnia if you can't sleep because you have pain or trouble
3:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
breathing when you lay down or if you have adrenal problems that won't let you relax or
3:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
if your muscles feel uncomfortable and you feel the need to move,
3:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as in restless leg syndrome.
3:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
These are all things that are preventing you from having the opportunity to
3:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sleep.
3:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Insomnia is when you have the opportunity to sleep,
3:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
a comfortable bed,
3:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
peace and quiet,
3:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
no physical pain or stress and you have the time but you stay
3:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
awake or you wake up too soon.
3:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In other words,
3:36
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
insomnia is not being able to sleep when you should be sleeping.
3:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
People with insomnia usually experience fatigue,
3:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
low energy,
3:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
difficulty concentrating,
3:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
mood disturbances,
3:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and decreased performance in work or at school.
3:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
You'll also go completely insane within a week if you don't get sleep.
3:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
But before that,
3:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you might start to feel anxiousness,
3:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
dread, or panic at just the prospect of not sleeping.
4:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Your anxiety and insomnia could feed each other and become a cycle as you lay
4:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
awake at night freaking out about how little sleep you're getting and how tired you're going to be
4:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
at your important event tomorrow.
4:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
You're medically diagnosed with acute insomnia if you can't sleep because
4:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
of some major stress in your life.
4:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
If your insomnia goes on for more than a couple nights a week for more than three months,
4:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
though, it's diagnosed as chronic insomnia.
4:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Standard treatment for insomnia is founded in the belief that the cause
4:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
of insomnia is something being wrong with whatever mechanism it is that makes
4:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you go to sleep.
4:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Perhaps this thing that interferes with your ability to go to sleep is a psychiatric problem,
4:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or bad sleep habits,
4:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or substances you've ingested,
4:40
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or something wrong with your biology,
4:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
like a problem with your hormones.
4:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The standard paradigm of healthcare says that the falling asleep
4:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
mechanism or the staying asleep mechanism,
4:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whatever that might be,
4:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is damaged or disrupted.
4:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
More recently,
4:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
there's a popular medical theory that there's some mechanical thing that makes
4:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
your brain be awake.
5:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And that mechanism maybe is what's broken.
5:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Either way,
5:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whatever it is that makes you sleep or makes you awake is still shrouded
5:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
in deep mystery.
5:08
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Nonetheless,
5:09
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
medical ethics require attempts at treating a symptom whether you know
5:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the cause or not.
5:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So once all interruptions are removed,
5:17
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
once distractions and light and pain and restless legs and apnea are
5:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
all taken care of,
5:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
then treatment focuses on brain chemistry.
5:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Sleep medicines for acute insomnia include esoplicone,
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
zaleplan,
5:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and zalpidem,
5:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
also known as lunesta,
5:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sonata,
5:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and ambien,
5:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
all of which interfere with GABA receptors in your brain.
5:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
That is, they block your brain cells from being able to pick up stimulant
5:42
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
signals.
5:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This basically makes your brain think that you're totally isolated and nothing is
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
happening in the world,
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
like total sensory deprivation.
5:50
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Another treatment for acute insomnia is Rosarim,
5:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
clinically known as Remelteon,
5:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which interferes with melatonin production.
5:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Melatonin,
5:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or melanin,
6:00
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is the hormone that your brain uses to tell your body whether it's nighttime or
6:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
daytime, and you,
6:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
being a diurnal creature,
6:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
a daytime creature,
6:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you'll naturally want to become sleepy at nighttime and be active during
6:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the day.
6:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
By interfering with melatonin production,
6:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Rosarim fools your body into thinking it's daytime when it's actually
6:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
nighttime, and then your body will overcompensate once the drug wears off,
6:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which can help to knock you out.
6:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So we have drugs to knock you out and we have drugs to wake you up.
6:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
All these medications,
6:30
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
both the GABA,
6:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the GABA interferons and the melatonin interferons,
6:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
they're all addictive and they shouldn't be used for anything other than
6:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as a short -term measure to take the edge off when you're exhausted after
6:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
experiencing a major trauma.
6:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
They're only for acute insomnia.
6:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Still, many people take these medications for years and then they have trouble coming off of them.
6:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The belief is that being awake is associated with stimulating chemicals
6:56
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and the lack of relaxing chemicals,
6:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
while sleep is associated with a lack of stimulating chemicals and the presence of relaxing chemicals.
7:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's very much based in the theory that you are basically a combination
7:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
of chemicals that get stimulated by external stimuli
7:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
such as light or chemicals.
7:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Now, we're not clear what these stimulating and relaxing chemicals
7:18
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
are.
7:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So the best we can do to treat insomnia,
7:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
therefore, with this model is to put ourselves on a careful regimen to
7:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
not have too much caffeine,
7:27
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
too much alcohol or other drugs,
7:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
to be careful about how much we eat,
7:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
what time we eat,
7:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whether the food is spicy or salty or sweet,
7:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whether it's high carbs,
7:35
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
high fat.
7:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And to make an effort to structure our day very consciously,
7:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
to do active things like work and exercise in the morning,
7:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and then relaxing things like meditation,
7:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
reading, and pleasant conversation in the evening.
7:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Another treatment is drugs that interfere with your B vitamins,
7:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
such as suvorexant,
7:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
also known as Balsamra.
7:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
B vitamins and other antioxidants fuel your brain when you're awake so
7:58
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you can focus and take action.
7:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Suvorexant makes you very tired,
8:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which can help you make time to lay down and sleep.
8:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So this physically puts you in a condition to make sleep more likely.
8:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Antidepressants and antihistamines are sometimes prescribed for insomnia because they
8:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
imitate the brain chemistry of the relaxed state.
8:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And then there are many natural treatments that work similarly,
8:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
either by picking you up during the day or by relaxing you at night.
8:23
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Caffeine,
8:24
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
enzymes, amino acids,
8:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
hormone supplements like melatonin,
8:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
stimulating herbs like ginseng,
8:31
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
balancing herbs like ashwagandha,
8:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sedative herbs like valerian.
8:35
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or taking magnesium,
8:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
calcium, and vitamin D to balance your electrolytes,
8:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or getting a sun lamp to stimulate melatonin production,
8:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and so on.
8:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
All of these work by enhancing your brain chemistry in either the
8:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
active daytime awake direction or in the resting nighttime sleep
8:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
direction.
8:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
All medical and alternative health practitioners recommend lifestyle changes,
8:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
including behavioral modification,
8:59
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
even cognitive behavioral therapy.
9:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
These approaches involve psychotherapy,
9:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
changing your sleep environment,
9:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
meditating, establishing a consistent sleeping and waking routine.
9:10
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
getting lots of exercise,
9:11
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
reducing your use of alcohol,
9:13
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
caffeine, and other drugs,
9:14
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
reducing your consumption of spicy,
9:16
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
salty, sweet, or otherwise interesting food,
9:18
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
reducing your consumption of everything really,
9:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
scheduling naps,
9:22
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
stimulating the heck out of yourself at those times when you inappropriately do want to fall asleep,
9:26
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
like in the typical afternoon slowdown.
9:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So all of this is an attempt to force you into a
9:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
habit of normal.
9:34
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
just to force yourself to do normal until your body just
9:38
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
says okay I'm going to do this because this is normal.
9:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Now the reason why lifestyle changes are so important is that none of the drugs
9:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or natural chemicals really cure your insomnia.
9:47
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
They just knock you out if they're strong enough but then they give you side
9:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
effects and they're often addictive because you need more of the drug the next time you have insomnia which is
9:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
typically very soon because your stress is
10:00
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
exaggerated.
10:00
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The whole problem,
10:01
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whatever is causing the insomnia in the first place,
10:03
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is now worse because you haven't dealt with it.
10:06
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
You've just knocked yourself out.
10:07
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
These chemical solutions,
10:09
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whether medical or natural,
10:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
they basically work like drinking yourself into a stupor or going on a
10:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
two -day amphetamine binge and then sleeping that off.
10:18
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's not natural sleep.
10:20
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So, of course,
10:22
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
all these brain chemistry altering substances,
10:24
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
they might be helpful,
10:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
but both controlling your brain chemistry with drugs or natural means like supplements,
10:29
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
herbs, or dietary changes,
10:31
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and forcing your mind into a strict routine and daily discipline,
10:35
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
they both work because they force you to take charge of your time.
10:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
See,
10:39
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the real cause of chronic insomnia is a lack
10:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
of control over your time.
10:46
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It works according to the natural laws of healing discovered by Dr.
10:49
Hamer in the 1980s.
10:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In a few minutes,
10:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you'll see how,
10:54
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
because of the natural laws of healing,
10:55
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sleep is sometimes impossible.
10:57
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And you'll also see how lack of control over your time is the real problem,
11:01
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
not the lack of sleep.
11:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
But first,
11:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
here's a little background about what's really going on when you sleep versus when
11:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you're awake.
11:09
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
During normal daytime wakefulness,
11:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
in the morning and early afternoon,
11:12
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
your brain is dominated by beta wave activity,
11:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which is very random,
11:16
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
quick, irregular waves of activity as you react and respond to
11:20
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
whatever's going on in your experience.
11:22
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's a very reactionary state.
11:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
True restfulness and sleep happen while our parasympathetic nervous
11:29
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
system, also called the vagatonic system,
11:32
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is dominant.
11:33
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
During the resting state,
11:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
both our brain and our bodies switch into a restoration and repair state.
11:39
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Our minds process loose ideas and file them into contextual categories.
11:43
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In a typical day,
11:45
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
our brains switch into...
11:46
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Alpha wave activity as we move into a relaxed meditative state of mind
11:50
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
in the afternoon,
11:51
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
when we're becoming conscious and present to our own inner guidance,
11:55
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
rather than reacting to the world outside ourselves,
11:58
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which is what we're doing during beta brainwave activity when our sympathetic nervous system
12:02
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is active.
12:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So then...
12:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In the afternoon, we go into alpha,
12:06
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
we get relaxed.
12:07
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And then as we drift into sleep at night,
12:09
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
our brain switches to theta waves,
12:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which are slower in frequency and greater in amplitude than alpha waves.
12:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So what's going on is it's becoming less and less irregular,
12:19
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
more and more inner directed brain activity.
12:22
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's like a much deeper meditation state,
12:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
this theta state.
12:27
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The difference between alpha brainwaves and theta brainwaves is gradual and subtle.
12:31
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's why falling asleep can take a bit of time.
12:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This could be called the drowsiness stage of sleep.
12:37
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Once you're really properly asleep,
12:40
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you're still in theta,
12:42
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
a more regular still.
12:46
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
deep theta,
12:47
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
two little healing processes start to kick in.
12:50
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is where your brain starts putting ideas into context and storing
12:54
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
information accumulated during the day into categories,
12:57
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
adjusting those categories,
12:58
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
rearranging your thoughts and beliefs according to any new information you received today
13:02
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
or any questions you got answered.
13:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Tidying up loose mental ends is a way to think of it.
13:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
What we see on an electroencephalogram during this sleep stage are
13:12
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
two weird types of waves that intersperse amongst the theta wave pattern.
13:17
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
These weird little sleep events are seen as sudden increases in wave
13:21
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
activity or frequency.
13:22
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Those are called sleep spindles.
13:24
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Or sudden increases in wave amplitude.
13:27
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Those are called K -complexes.
13:29
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
But we're still in theta sleep at this point.
13:32
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Shallow sleep,
13:33
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
just getting started.
13:35
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Then you get into deep sleep,
13:37
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which appears as delta brainwaves.
13:39
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
These are the slowest and highest amplitude brainwaves.
13:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
At this point,
13:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you're getting your brain stimulation straight from consciousness.
13:46
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
There's no connection to physical reality.
13:49
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is your brain actually restoring your body,
13:52
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
fixing problems.
13:53
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
putting more energy into building tissue here,
13:55
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
turning the voltage down on this other part of the body to let the metabolic waste products
13:59
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
flush out,
14:00
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
maybe raising the blood sugar for this purpose or dropping your body temperature for that
14:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
purpose and so on.
14:05
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is when the physical action happens.
14:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is when we grow.
14:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is the part of your sleep also where you might sleepwalk or
14:13
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
talk in your sleep.
14:14
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is the healing phase of sleep.
14:16
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And if you don't get it,
14:17
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you will become very ill.
14:20
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Once your body has produced substantial repair,
14:23
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
typically about 90 minutes after falling asleep,
14:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
that is going through all the stages from alpha brainwaves,
14:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you know,
14:29
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
relaxed wakefulness,
14:31
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
all the way through to delta brainwaves.
14:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
At that point,
14:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
after you've completed your healing substantially,
14:36
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you will go into REM sleep or rapid eye movement
14:40
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sleep, REM.
14:41
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
REM sleep.
14:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is a healing crisis.
14:44
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Your brain goes into what looks identical to beta brainwave activity,
14:48
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
same as wakeful daytime activity.
14:50
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And at the same time,
14:51
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
your body gets totally paralyzed.
14:53
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It comes from the motor cortex of your brain.
14:55
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Your body just goes slack.
14:56
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
REM sleep or rapid eye movement sleep is when you dream.
15:00
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
When your brain puts together a story about all those mental things that it just finished
15:04
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sorting through,
15:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it then presents you with the new mental order.
15:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And it does this via a quick story sequence.
15:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It forces you to watch this whole scene.
15:14
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
by making your body lie perfectly still while your eyes twitch back and forth.
15:18
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And that's basically an epileptic seizure of your eyeballs.
15:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
For dogs,
15:21
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
this stage sometimes also includes legs twitching,
15:24
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
little barking yips.
15:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Your dog is dreaming about running free while his body's actually paralyzed
15:29
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and having a mild epileptic seizure.
15:31
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And this is a normal part of sleep.
15:33
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is how you return and kick your body back
15:37
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
into wakefulness.
15:38
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So this is the normal sleep cycle.
15:42
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
From the transition from alpha brainwaves to theta brainwaves,
15:45
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
then through theta brainwaves with sleep spindles and K -complexes,
15:49
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
then into the delta brainwaves of deep sleep,
15:51
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and finally a healing crisis of REM dream sleep.
15:54
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It typically takes about 90 minutes to run the entire cycle,
15:57
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and then you repeat it.
15:59
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Most of us prefer to have four or five of these cycles in a typical night's sleep.
16:03
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
However,
16:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as we repeat the cycle,
16:06
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the healing phase,
16:07
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
that is the deep delta brainwave part of our sleep,
16:10
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it gets shorter.
16:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And the healing crisis part of our sleep,
16:13
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the dreaming REM sleep,
16:14
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it gets longer.
16:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Until by the time we're on the fourth or fifth round,
16:19
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
We have almost no delta stage.
16:21
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
We just go from theta almost straight into REM sleep.
16:23
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The reason why this is,
16:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
is that you've already done the healing.
16:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
That's the delta phase.
16:29
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The REM is the healing crisis.
16:31
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So you're kind of doing less and less healing,
16:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
more and more healing crisis because you don't need to do it much more healing.
16:37
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
You've already gone through several cycles.
16:39
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And because the delta cycle is getting shorter and the REM cycle is getting longer,
16:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
this is why you tend to wake up in the morning from a dream.
16:45
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's because you've...
16:46
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as the night goes on,
16:47
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as you go through these cycles,
16:48
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you're spending more time dreaming and less time healing.
16:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
As you can see,
16:52
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
there's a lot more to sleeping than just not being awake.
16:55
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Looking for a simple mechanism to switch between awake brain and sleep brain is like
16:59
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
looking for a simple mechanism to switch between,
17:01
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
say,
17:02
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
being a firefighter and getting surgery.
17:05
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The two states are just really very different things,
17:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and they serve very different purposes.
17:10
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The reason that brain chemistry -altering substances or practices such
17:14
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
as medications,
17:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
alcohol, or strict control over your diet or your lifestyle
17:18
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
The reason these don't really help you heal insomnia is that sleeping isn't a matter
17:22
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
of switching your brain off.
17:24
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Being awake versus being asleep is not a question of brain on and brained
17:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
off.
17:28
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's actually a state of activity,
17:30
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
reacting and responding to the world,
17:32
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and then switching into wakeful,
17:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
relaxed state,
17:35
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and then switching into a restorative repair state followed up with a healing crisis.
17:40
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
We don't have to do this cycle on a 24 -hour basis either.
17:43
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Sleeping seven to nine hours per night on a regular schedule is not necessary.
17:48
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Up until the 20th century,
17:50
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
when electrical lighting became commonplace,
17:52
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it was normal for people to sleep twice a day,
17:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
once at night,
17:55
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
once in the afternoon,
17:56
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
what's now called biphasic sleep.
17:58
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
It's also quite okay biologically speaking to have a 30 -minute sleep every
18:02
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
three hours forever and be quite well rested.
18:05
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
That's called polyphasic sleep.
18:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
As long as you get those restorative sleep cycles in after you conduct a significant amount of
18:12
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
beta brainwave activity,
18:13
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you can go indefinitely on a few naps a day.
18:16
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And the cycles don't have to be 90 minutes long in polyphasic sleep because the relaxed
18:20
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
weightfulness alpha part of the cycle,
18:23
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it doesn't have to be very long.
18:25
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And the drowsiness,
18:26
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the first stage of theta brainwave sleep,
18:28
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it doesn't have to be very long either.
18:30
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
You can get away with a quick REM cycle too if your delta cycle...
18:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
was if you had a delta cycle that restored and repaired your body enough,
18:38
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
then you can just have a quick REM cycle.
18:40
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
There's no need to keep repeating it without going out and having an active
18:44
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
beta cycle in between.
18:45
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Or if you don't accumulate much work that needs to be done in your body,
18:49
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
if you didn't have much activity while you were awake,
18:52
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you can basically get through it very fast,
18:54
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
get through your healing phase very fast and go straight to REM.
18:58
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Because the healing crisis is like a reset button that lets you go straight back to being awake
19:02
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and ready to take on more physical activity in beta brainwave states.
19:05
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So, you know,
19:06
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
in short, basically,
19:07
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
if you get that your brain is active and
19:11
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
then it needs certain types of activity to restore itself,
19:15
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
then you can control this by doing what your brain needs.
19:19
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And it doesn't necessarily need seven to nine hours of that
19:23
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
stuff in a row.
19:26
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Legendary genius Leonardo da Vinci,
19:28
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
he was said to have slept 15 minutes every four hours.
19:31
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Personal development blogger Steve Pavlina,
19:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
he tried this out with six 20 -minute naps around the clock.
19:37
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
After a week of feeling like a zombie,
19:39
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
he was able to easily sustain the schedule for over five months,
19:42
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
sleeping a total of two hours out of every 24.
19:45
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
He had the same schedule every day.
19:47
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
He slept, I believe it was...
19:48
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
So he had these 20 -minute naps.
19:50
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
I believe they were 2,
19:51
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
6,
19:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and 10,
19:52
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
and then 2,
19:53
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
6, and 10 again,
19:54
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
something like that.
19:55
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
But then for Steve Pavlina,
19:57
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the need to be normal to fit to a...
20:00
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
normal time schedule that made him end the practice and go back to sleeping eight
20:04
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
hours a night like most people do or whatever amount he sleeps but he sleeps at night on
20:08
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
a normal schedule so steve was sleeping two hours at a 24 and
20:12
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
he was happy with the amount of sleep he was getting the quality of sleep he was getting and so on it
20:16
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
was all fine his problem was that it wasn't normal
20:19
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
He had hours and hours of alone time with nobody to talk to because they were sleeping and
20:23
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
the stores and the restaurants and everything were closed.
20:25
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
And then during the day,
20:26
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
he had to go have his naps three times.
20:28
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
Now they were only 20 minutes each,
20:29
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
but everybody else kept plugging along and he just felt like he was out of sync.
20:33
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
In the evening,
20:34
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
instead of watching a movie from 8 to 10 with his wife,
20:36
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
he had to go have a nap for 20 minutes in the middle of it,
20:38
S… Speaker 2 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
which he found very inconvenient,
20:39
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
socially speaking.
20:40
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
This is,
20:41
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
you know,
20:42
S… Speaker 1 (Audio_26-06-27_16-41-47)
it's still a problem,
