Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Who else is watching because they can't sleep? 😅

Every single week your podcasts are so relevant to my life. It's unbelievable! Thank you DOAC!

Thank god I got a notification for this one, I haven’t had a good night sleep in 7 years. I can go 3 days with no sleep at all it’s pure torture.

Since suffering burn out and it taking 3 years plus to recover I take sleep very seriously. So interested in this particular podcast...❤❤❤❤

One time I woke up outside after sleep walking. It was summer and blazing hot outside. I was a teenager and way overtired and physically exhausted. I had walked by my grandmother who scolded me for walking on her freshly mopped floor and completely ignored her. She had no idea I was asleep.

The doctor told me “you’re suffering from insomnia” I said “is it serious??” He said “there’s no cause for any alarm”

I loved the interview!!! He speaks very clearly yet with a very scientific approach, avoiding this “dogmas” and this categorical way of speaking that many other gurus in other fields like to use.

Thank you for this episode. I have learnt a lot since I have kids who are super creative at night but sleepy during the day. I have been very curious about sleep. I have been one of those people, who love to take an afternoon nap to be effective at work. To be at my best, I need a minimum of 6 hours.

Great timing! Recently watched your interview with Matthew Walker, and have just read his book. As a stroke survivor, please keep the brain health interviews coming.

As someone who had been struggling with severe insomnia for the last 3 years, it was nice to hear that sometimes medications are needed to alleviate the consequences of this disease… I cannot sleep without it at all, but felt very guilty for taking antidepressants at such a young age.

The bloke who bludgeoned his mother-in-law to death and tried to kill his father-in-law "in his sleep" must have had a fucking good/dodgy lawyer. What a blatant miscarriage of justice.

It took me 26 😢to realize I was not sleeping like a normal person. I grew up in a very physical and verbal abusive household. I would force myself as a child to sleep with an eye open because I was terrified my dad would kill my mom if I wasn’t quick enough to save her. Apparently I stopped making a neuro transmitter . I just knew that i felt so tired during the day I’d fantasized about someone hitting me with a hammer to cause me to pass out like in the cartoons. After years of trying meds i have it mostly under control. I still suffer insomnia if my stress levels are too high like tonight. It’s 2:54 am and i can’t sleep. I’m experiencing extreme stress and it’s manifesting.

I guess I have a 1 in 6 million chance of talking to Steven! Better than the lotto and better than my current sleep.

My Dad, rip, once sleep walked and ate an entire lemon meringue pie that Mom, rip, made earlier that day— set for cooling. He had no recollection of eating the pie. It ticked off my Mom. That was the last lemon meringue pie she ever made.

62 yr old woman here Who just blew $3000 cash out of pocket for a sleep study which both my GP and my dentist insisted on to see if I have sleep apnea. I insisted I don’t, but not good enough. So of course shows that I don’t and that is not the reason I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning every night. I have tried Ambien, Lunesta, Benadryl, THC gummy‘s, and of course all the natural stuff like melatonin, Valerian, etc. etc. etc. I can fall asleep all right, but what the hell wakes me up at three in the morning? Very rarely I can get up and go to the bathroom and force myself to go back to sleep after about an hour. Most of the time I can’t take the stone cold or awakeness and tossing and turning so I just get up. The only explanation left which is probably going to turn out to be the right one is I’m super super low in estrogen and possibly testosterone as Well. A friend of mine has solved all of this with hormone replacement therapy with a functional medicine physician and I have an appt in October. Wish me luck!

I've had a bad habit of staying up late for many years on my PC or phone, so I really appreciated blue light filter. But it's obviously not enough. I've finally consistently broken this habit now and I go to sleep by 10pm every night now. Never felt consistently so much better than I have recently 😁🎉

I struggled with insomnia for years, it was always worse at certain times of the womanly month, I’ve been taking magnesium for 4 years and now sleep great!

I only need about 4-5 hours of sleep a night and in middle age, it is clear that I experience the world very differently from other people. I feel eternally grateful and blessed.
