Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses three ways to improve sleep and rest: increasing energy, improving circadian rhythms, and timing of eating. The mitochondria in the brain and heart need oxygen to function and exercise, B1, oxygen-rich environments, coenzyme Q10, and methylene blue can help. The Supra chiasmatic nucleus in the brain controls the sleep-wake cycle and is affected by light and dark cycles. Dimming lights in the evening, avoiding blue light, using red lights or incandescent lights, and wearing eye masks can improve sleep. Eating earlier or avoiding food 5 hours before bed can help align the body with its circadian rhythm. For those who travel, taking more vitamin D3 can help with adjusting to new time zones. No specific bedtime is suggested.

Introduction: Understanding the Importance of Sleep
Sleep is an essential part of our daily routine, and it is crucial for our overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, many people struggle with getting a good night’s sleep, either finding it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. The lack of sleep can lead to a wide range of health issues, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
Sleep Explained: the Role of Mitochondria and Oxygen
Dr. Eric Berg, a chiropractor and health educator, explains that our ability to fall asleep and stay asleep is closely related to the functioning of our mitochondria. Mitochondria are energy factories found in our heart and brain, and they need oxygen to function correctly. Therefore, it is necessary to increase oxygen supply to the mitochondria in the brain to promote better sleep.
Additionally, there is a clock in our brain that controls our sleep and wake cycle, and we need to optimize its functioning to improve our sleep quality.
Tips to Sleep Better: The Best Ways to Fall Asleep and Stay Asleep
Dr. Berg suggests a variety of lifestyle changes and dietary supplements that can help improve sleep quality. Here are some of his tips:
1. Exercise: Engaging in physical activity during the day can help improve sleep quality. However, it is essential to avoid exercising too close to bedtime, as it may cause you to feel too energized to fall asleep.
2. Consume Vitamin B1 before Bed: Vitamin B1 is essential for energy production and can help improve the functioning of mitochondria. Taking a Vitamin B1 supplement or eating foods rich in this nutrient before bed may help you fall asleep faster.
3. Sleep with the Window Open: Sleeping in a well-ventilated room can improve oxygen supply and promote better sleep.
4. Put Plants in Your Room: Plants can help purify the air and improve air quality, which can lead to better sleep quality.
5. Consume CoQ10: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that can help improve mitochondrial function and promote better sleep quality.
6. Take Methylene Blue: Methylene Blue is a supplement that can improve oxygen utilization in the brain and help improve sleep quality.
7. Use Dim Lights After Sunset: Bright lights in the evening can interfere with the production of the sleep hormone, melatonin. Using dim lights after sunset can help promote the secretion of this hormone, promoting better sleep.
8. Replace Certain Lights in Your House: Incandescent lights emit less blue light than LED lights, which can help promote better sleep quality.
9. Avoid Blue Light Before Bed: Blue light from electronic devices can impair sleep quality. It is best to avoid using electronic devices before bed or wearing blue-blocking glasses.
10. Use Red Lights: Red lights do not interfere with melatonin production and can promote better sleep quality.
11. Use the Light from a Fireplace: The soothing light from a fireplace can promote relaxation and help you fall asleep faster.
12. Use Blue Blockers: Blue-blocking glasses can help block the harmful blue light emitted by electronic devices and promote better sleep quality.
13. Don’t Eat Before Bed: Consuming food too close to bedtime can interfere with sleep quality. It is best to avoid eating at least five hours before bedtime.
14. Take Vitamin D3 When Traveling: Traveling across time zones can disrupt our sleep-wake cycle. Taking a Vitamin D3 supplement can help regulate our internal clock and promote better sleep quality.
15. Go to Bed Before Midnight: Going to bed before midnight can help improve sleep quality, as it is during this time that our body repairs and rejuvenates itself.
Conclusion: Get a Good Night’s Sleep with These Tips
Getting a good night’s sleep is essential for our physical and mental health. By following these tips from Dr. Berg, you can improve your sleep quality and wake up feeling refreshed and energized. Remember, it is crucial to consult a physician before making any changes to your health regimen or diet.

Today we’re going to talk about three things you can do to fall asleep fast and sleep better through the night.
While some people have too much energy to fall asleep, others are actually too tired to fall asleep. It takes a healthy amount of energy in your energy factories, your mitochondria, to sleep well.
The organs that have the most mitochondria are your heart and brain. This means that both of these organs need a lot of oxygen to function properly.
Thankfully, there are several things you can do to increase oxygen into the mitochondria in the brain to help you fall asleep fast and have a good night’s sleep.
There is also, essentially, a clock in your brain that tells you when to sleep and when to wake up—we need to get this clock to work better.
How to sleep better at night:
• Exercise
• Consume vitamin B1 before bed
• Sleep with the window open
• Put plants in your room
• Consume CoQ10
• Take methylene blue
• Use dim lights after sunset
• Replace certain lights in your house with incandescent lights
• Avoid blue light before bed
• Use red lights
• Use the light from a fireplace if possible
• Use blue blockers
• Don’t consume any food 5 hours before bed
• Take vitamin D3 while traveling
• Go to bed before midnight (around 10 pm works for many people)
