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

I love a podcast guest who answers the majority of the questions with 'it depends' or 'we don’t know yet'. This is someone I find trustworthy because they aren't trying to sell me their 'method' of fixing the problem

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

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.

I am 63, my insomnia started when I was 18 and has persisted ever since. I have tried many things CBT, antidepressants, exercise and night time hygiene. It was worse when I was young when I averaged 4/6 hours but often sleep 0/3 hours. For me anxiety ocd was the cause although it took me years to realise this and I often avoided situations that caused this. With medication I held down a management position but at times it was tough. My sympathy goes out to fellow insomniac's.

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

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.

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.

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

Suffered insomnia my whole life. With even taking sleeping meds, 10 days without sleeping.

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.

I've just been awake for 31 hours and 27 before that with 4 hours sleep between. I'm 42. Had this issue since I was a kid. Yet NO psyche or doctor will give a formal diagnosis. I feel like a crazy person half the time not awake not asleep. And then all the misdiagnosis.. and denial of proper medication to help. I wanna cry thinking about it.

Me too it’s my problem. I’m 55 years old woman who is clinically menupause and I’m in 3 years HRT treatment but still suffering . I’m drinking now melatonin to help me sleep . Thanks for this episode it can relate lots of people who have problem from sleeping. 🙏🌹thanks THE DIARY OF C E O TEAM .

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

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.

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!

🤦‍♂️Watching this at 3AM unable to sleep 🫠💀

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.

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.
