Watched this at 1am because I couldn’t sleep..

I listened to this podcast over 10 times and everything else Stephanie has said, because I needed to fix my sleep for my new job. At first, It gave me hope, now I have results. I have gained back 2h of active time per day and I have turned 8 hours of "chugging-caffeine-daytime drowsiness" to a light lapse in wakefulness for 40 minutes at 10am. In total Stephanie gave me over 6 hours of extra quality life every day. Thank you. Update April: After 4 months of trying I was never able to get the sleep I wanted. I am now able to function on 5-7 hours per night vs 8-10 hours which is very cool, but it has its own issues. Namely, the evenings become a battle to stay awake and alarm fatigue kicks in after a while. Though I've decreased my drowsiness during the day, the difficulty shifts to the mornings and evenings. Overall I still credit Stephanie for opening my eyes to the possibilities of different sleep. I am investigating possible circadian rhythm disorders or sleep apnea/hypopnea possibilities. Update May: So I'm pretty sure the main culprit is Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome. Just sleep later, longer and use maltonin and light therapy. Makes sense with all of my experiences and my ADHD. Also some RLS/PLMS/PLMD and possible mild sleep apnea. CBT-I probably only worked when i got morning light exposure the day before shifting my circadian rhythm and with the sleep pressure and 7h of deep sleep i would feel better for one day. Otherwise, apart from the general attitude and principles, the recommendations for me would be kinda opposite from what is suggested here. Be careful.

The best interview related to sleep ever for one with long term insomnia! It’s so scary to hear over and over how lack of sleep will kill you. It creates more anxiety and, therefore, more problems with sleeping. Thank you!

This video deserves so many more views! Stephanie has eased much of my anxiety from recent insomnia. Popular talks by Matthew Walker aren't helpful because he goes on and on about how sleep debt and bad sleep will kill us in a 1000 ways. But Steph has reduced my the worries about insomnia! THANK YOU Steph & Steven, I really needed this 🙏🏻♥️

Fascinating listen. Really interesting to hear Stephanie talk about going to bed when you are tired and not at a certain time "as you've got to get 8 hours sleep" Since I adopted this theory a couple of years ago I have managed to get unbroken sleep almost every night. Great philosophy.

I had a bit of a sleep phobia when I was a kid - it caused me a lot of anxiety and fear when I couldn’t sleep. One day I thought “ stuff it - who cares?” I started sleeping as soon as I stopped caring about it.

I listened to this this morning (instead of radio news) and it's also the first time listening to your podcast. I've always been a poor sleeper. Stephanie made so much sense and it's a relevation to me when she said to not worry about it. I'll also go to bed later ie, when I feel tired, and get up and probably read a book when I inevitably awake at 3.30am! Fingers crossed that will change. Many thanks.

She is amazing! I’ve listened to this twice, and I’ll probably listen again to reframe all of my unhelpful thoughts about my sleep

I didn't manage to watch the whole video yesterday, but last night I had the best night's sleep in ages! Taking the pressure off really works. Thankyou!!

The only sensible professional not scaring people in the market. Sensible and informative. I love the program but we need more people that great like that. Even the big manes that comes one seems to hold the truth. After watching this wonderful being which was a joy made me realise what real information should sound like. She always mention that we are all different and try working on it as opposed to is this way or that way….

Ohh my god, I love this woman for bringing up, what you should do when waking up in the middle of the night. I’ve been soooo lost on what i should do when that happens, and i would try to force my for hours even when i wanted to just get up! Thank god! She just answered my question.

Wow I’ve been looking back to earlier podcasts and this one definitely caught my eye and boy am I glad I listened to this! I am (or was… going forward!) one of those people that gets overly anxious about not getting enough sleep… I now realise this is not helping me at all! We just need to listen to our bodies… like the lady said… everyone is different… Thankyou for another great podcast ❤

Thank you so much for sharing such useful insights. Sleeping is like a flower-it just blooms at the right time without being forced. Our mistake is to try to control the uncontrollable, thus causing more anxiety and stress for ourselves. I got really great sleep last night after watching this! Thanks a million ❤

Stephanie - I'm no longer worried about my sleep, job done! Thanks Steven and Stephanie.

Stephanie,is a very knowledgable lady and made that conversation about sleep,very interesting.For someone who has suffered with sleep problems for most of my life,I am going to try some of the things she has suggested and I have just checked out her website.

Honestly was probably the best podcast I have ever listened to, I learned something new from every topic and question, so interesting. I work night shift so I've been concerned about weather I get enough sleep etc, this has put a lot into perspective. Thank you so much for this!

The amazing thing that I learned was that insomnia is the reason that persons don't fall asleep, is often because they are kept awake by their fears. They worry about worst case scenarios and are kept awake thereby. A valuable and eye-opening interview. I am just surprised that this video doesn't have even more interviews given the topic and the quality of the content. Thank you Steven, for your commitment to realeasing such informative and valuable content.

What a refreshing perspective Stephanie brings to the topic of sleep. Brilliant! Thank you so much!

O my God, she talks SO much sense! Oh I wish I listen to this episode earlier! I have stressed so much over my sleep and I'm doing everything I can... the evening routine and the morning routine and herbs and whatever you can think of I'm doing it!... and my sleep isn't perfect! I feel so relieved after listening to this, I just needed the permission to NOT STRESS about it! Thank you so much for this episode Steve! ❤️
