How to Wake Up Refreshed Every Morning – Inadequate Sleep – Dr. Berg on Melatonin and Sleep.
Don’t wake up feeling your best? Here’s how to feel refreshed every morning!
In this video, I want to talk about how you can wake up refreshed every morning. When you wake up, do you feel:
• Grouchy
• Irritable
• Tired
• Exhausted
If so, this video is for you.
The best indication of whether you’re well-rested or not is how you feel when you wake up in the morning and how you feel throughout the day.
The most important factor in quality sleep and waking up feeling refreshed is the sleep hormone called melatonin. Melatonin is triggered when you aren’t exposed to light. When it’s dark at night, and less light is shining into your eye, it activates the pineal gland, which then turns serotonin into melatonin. This makes you tired.
Any light source can potentially turn off the pineal gland and melatonin production. Melatonin is also vitally important for your immune system. Melatonin has numerous other functions as well. It’s used as an antioxidant, which helps prevent free-radicle damage.
The problem with taking melatonin supplements is that your body then makes less of it. It’s not a fix to your problems.
As you age, your melatonin decreases. This can cause poor sleep and immune function as you get older. It can also cause inflammation in the body.
10-11 pm is a good time to go to bed.
This is how you can enhance melatonin production before bed:
1. Lights out before bed
2. Water filter for removing fluoride
3. Glycine
4. Reduce blue light exposure
5. Get sun and vitamin D during the day
6. Lower stress, caffeine, and alcohol
7. Keep your bedroom cool
8. Avoid EMFs

Dr Berg as a clinician myself I think your explanation for different symptoms are amazing ! I would often wonder about these connections between symptoms and patterns. However with everything you say now connects the dots for me so clearly eg. Why is it sleep deprivation reduces your immune function- I always thought it was due to adrenal fatigue wtc. Thank you !
You are one of the best teachers I ever had!! God bless you for caring so much to educate humanity.
Omg, why I didn’t watch this before!! Lately I always feel tired after woke up. I realize that I spend my 1-hour-before-bed on my laptop and smartphone. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
He is just simply THE BEST! He deserves a NOBEL PRIZE for WELLBEING of humanity
Isn’t it great having an appointment daily with Doc? 😀
I started to think I might be a weirdo for instinctively disconnecting all electrical devices in my bedroom but this video showed me why I do what I do. It really does help.
My grandma would do that every night and I think she said it was to reduce the electrical bill. Either way she was smart for doing that now I will definitely do it too.
OKAY, I changed my bed position and now I do not sleep near any plug point nor have any electronic devices near me (Atleast 4 feet) and I can see instant change when I wake up. I feel refreshed ( as compared to before) and not at all moody. Thanks a ton! You changed my life for good doc!
As a sleep technologist, this is great information. Sleep apnea and other disorders are killing us slowly. Treating any possible sleep apnea is going to be a game changer, along with this great information. I don’t sleep as I should be sleeping all the time, and I have bad habits as well, because, well, life happens right? But start taking little baby steps to start these practices and watch things improve. Awesome

Oo
Lol
How bad is sleep deprivation such as 5 hours a night for weeks?
Two days ago I started keto. Before I started the keto diet, I had an extremely hard time focusing and I would wake up tired. After starting keto yesterday, I felt amazing this morning. I actually missed some hours of sleep, but there’s so much clarity in my brain now! I can’t believe my body’s response to this. I highly recommend college students to do the keto diet. I’m in college and I know this is going to help me a lot.
Amanda how does one begin keto?
It’s so amazing how passionate this man is about what he teaches us!
I definitely agree with you!!
Yes just love, love, love him
I feel tired when wake up
He is like one in a billion among doctors. A true humble doctor
I feel great every morning since I started OMAD, I do my meal at 5-6pm window and try to be in bed before 10am this way next morning at around 7am I’m fully awaken and feeling great.
What’s OMAD?
@Heidi Falzon one meal a day
You mean 10 pm?
@S L probably, although he might have a really weird sleep routine. Who are we to judge. * wink *
Since I started Keto I have been really resting in my sleep. Before that I would wake up so tired. Now I wake up and I am on top of the world. Thanks Doc 💜💜
@Lori Huff What did do you eat? Are you sure you’re doing keto right?
Christopher Wallbank What kind of fish?
Christopher Wallbank is there any fish that is not oily? And thank you for the suggestions!
Christopher Wallbank pretty much the mackerel and the herring in the US are canned
@Lori Huff I used to feel the same way on Keto. But in one of Dr. Berg’s videos, he said to make sure you get plenty of potassium while doing Leto.
So I began taking a calcium/magnesium/potassium supplement every day.
It worked. Now I not only have plenty of energy while doing keto, I also do not get calf cramps at night like I used to.
As always informative and to the point, most importantly easy to understand and practical. 🙂
Thank you, Dr. Berg and thank you for your work!
Yes indeed. Couldn’t have said it any better myself.
If no one got me, I know that Dr. Berg got me. Thank you, sir. You’re changing my life.
Ridiculously informative! Thank you so much for making this video! 🙏🏽
One thing is to learn by what people say, another is to learn by what people prove to you and you using the EMF reader was the selling point for me.
This is excellent Dr. Berg! EMFs, MFs, radio waves, cell phone towers and cell phone are a building health nightmare that we all don’t want to face, however it’s not just a potential problem but it’s already happening! My sister, ( a US doc for 30+ years) is seeing a bizarre increase in cancers and tumours, particularly of the brain, in people of much younger age than before. Germany has funded many good research projects on this. I wish you make a video focusing on each type and how people can reduce the impact in their environment.
5G has 1,000 x power of 4G. I haven’t noticed my internet any faster, but the 5G towers do not have any health and safety studies. very concerning!
Can you post references on these projects ?
@Lorrie they don’t have any regulation either. Literally no one regulates them.

Ronald Kragnes. I suffer from insomnia all my life and getting a “restful sleep” is very hard. I turn to music and I feel better and relax BUT at 3:00 am, I woke up and can’t get back to sleep. But I personally appreciate your list of things to do. THANK YOU, Sir. You were very kind for doing a list. 👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the list
God bless you
Thanks

Pistachios have helped me food-wise with my melatonin (15-20nuts/day). Mostly, I had a cortisol spike that sent me into panic attacks around 8-11am, but Valerian Root & Holy Basil has helped that. Thank you for the info Dr. Berg!
After reading a few comments, it’s nice to realize that I’m not the only one that feels like crap when I wake up.
Me too
I did too but then I started taking slow absorbing c-vitamin supplement and voila, much better in the mornings also.
Feels like crap
When I wake up
😂😂😂
Not a nice feeling at all, but how you said it made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a great lesson,
Thanks 👍🏾 alot.
And jah bless
When I wake up, I feel like I need a nap.
Yaaassss! I don’t want to feel like that, though!
We’re made in HIS image. HE made us with the power of free choice
A good prayer:
I’m a sinner JESUS please forgive me for all my sins I know you shed your Blood for me on the cross at Calvary. Thank you JESUS for my salvation and for shedding they Blood for me. I love you JESUS.
