Anthony William, the medical medium.
For the people out there that don't sleep good,
that only get two hours or three hours of sleep
because of pain, worry, anxiety, or panic attacks,
or just stress,
or for the people that get five hours of sleep
and they need more or they feel like they need more,
or even six hours of sleep,
or rough sleeping where it's just really rough it's up and down it's scattered you're only
sleeping for a half an hour then you're sleeping very light then falling back asleep again feeling
groggy in the morning tired in the morning and not good there's something very important
to understand especially when people are dealing with insomnia
something very critical to understand that you can still heal you can still recover even when
you're struggling with sleep problems i know that many of you guys probably heard this before but
you'll hear like eight hours of sleep is required or 10 hours of sleep and then you hear influencers
out there say, I slept for 12 hours every night or I sleep for 14 hours. And then you're thinking,
well, I'm sleeping four hours because I don't feel good. I have insomnia. I have OCD. I have
racing thoughts. My heart's racing all night long. Or I have an AFib or I have heart palpitations or
something or I feel my pulse beating and how am I going to heal if I'm only getting four hours of
sleep or six hours of sleep or even seven when I'm hearing people are getting 12 hours of sleep
and it's difficult when you hear that when someone's getting 12 hours of sleep and they're
saying I need 12 hours that's when I feel at my best and it makes another person who only gets
five hours of sleep feel like they're probably not going to be at their best.
The body works in a way where it's not just about sleep.
It's not just about being in a deep slumber in order to heal anything.
It's more than that.
resting the nervous system is a powerful way to recover
even when you're not sleeping enough
there are people out there and you may be one of them
that only gets about two or three hours of sleep
and then the next night you get five or six hours of sleep
and then the next night you get two to three hours again
and it's a rough ride
and you know people like family or friends
and they're sleeping great
and they're not dealing with any problems with their sleep
and you feel like you're an outcast
or you feel like you're not normal
like why can't I get any sleep
but it's critical to know
that if you rest the nervous system,
you can still heal
until eventually you get the sleep that you need.
So resting the nerves, how do we do that?
It's about closing your eyes,
laying there,
in bed if it's in the middle of night
or in the early morning hours
and you lay there
and you tell yourself that you're resting your nerves.
You close your eyes
and you envision your central nervous system.
And you envision your central nervous system resting.
It's shutting down.
you're shutting down
without having to sleep.
This way
when you do that
your nervous system
it doesn't need sleep
when you shut down and rest the nerves.
It doesn't need sleep to heal
and get stronger.
even if you're just resting your nerves for 10 minutes if you ever really enough if you have enough
moments in time where you rest your nerves for five minutes or 10 minutes at a time
it can be really powerful so during the day you can actually rest your nerves where you
lay down and close your eyes and just let everything shut down
and rest the nerves for five minutes, ten minutes.
If you do this multiple times, you can restore
and your body can start healing neurological problems and neurological symptoms.
It can give your immune system the strength it needs.
I know a lot of people fight their way through a hard night, a rough night.
They get anxiety. They get angry.
They get up. They pace.
They go and they eat something.
They try to go back to bed.
They try to get comfortable.
And a lot of people who end up staying up at night when they don't want to and they're laying there,
They start hearing noises inside their own body. They hear their pulse beat, their heartbeat. They feel their heart. They feel their blood pressure. They feel spasms on their legs and on their arms.
they feel weird sensations strange sensations they're laying there and they can hear
their own body gurgling their intestinal tract gurgling and moving a lot of people who get
really hypersensitive and they don't get the sleep they need anymore and they're dealing
with insomnia or some kind of sleep disturbance end up hearing their stomachs gurgle
their gut gurgle their intestinal tract gurgle they end up feeling their food moving through
them especially if they're really hypersensitive and their food is pushing through their intestinal
tract it's leaving the stomach and dropping out of the stomach into the duodenum and they feel it
and they hear it gurgle and they feel it moving and it keeps them up and then their anxiety starts
and they're up for hours
and then they are all of a sudden wide awake
even though they know they're really, really exhausted.
It's the perfect time to rest the nerves.
Perfect time to not get angry about it.
To not be sad about it.
You might be thinking when you go through this
that it's like another night of this.
but if you lay there and you say okay well this next 10 minutes i'm going to rest the nerves
i don't need to sleep i don't need to fall asleep i just have to heal
the nerves by resting them and shutting everything down and shutting the nerves down
even if your brain is racing and thoughts are happening
and your thoughts are in the way,
you're able to still just focus on resting the nerves,
even if your mind is thinking about other things right after that.
It doesn't matter.
You're telling your nervous system you're going to shut it down.
You're going to rest your nervous system.
And your nerves will actually start to heal
because most problems people are suffering with
is the nervous system, is the central nervous system.
So when the central nervous system
is being cared for like this,
you're healing it even without the sleep.
Now you might feel groggy the next day
because you only slept two, three hours.
You might feel groggy the next day
because you only slept five hours or six hours
when you feel like you needed eight.
but that's okay.
It doesn't mean you're not healing.
It doesn't mean that your immune system
and your central nervous system is not healing
because it is.
And a lot of people with chronic illness,
and you guys know best,
a lot of people with chronic illness,
because you're on mattress island a lot
and you're on couch island a lot,
and this is such an important point,
this is such a critical point right here,
because you're on couch island
and you're on mattress island
it's sometimes harder to sleep at night
it's sometimes harder to take naps during the day
because you're doing a lot of resting
anyway while you're healing
so it makes it sometimes more difficult
where it's hard to just get an 8 hour night's sleep
or a 10-hour night's sleep
or even a 5-hour night's sleep for a lot of people
because you're laying around a lot during the day
because you're working on your healing
and you have the neurological symptoms
and you're struggling with those neurological symptoms.
Just know in your heart and in your soul
that you are healing.
When you're resting the nerves.
Even if you're not sleeping good.
And you can be somebody that's getting 8 or 10 hours a night.
And you have chronic fatigue syndrome.
You don't feel good.
You're dealing with all kinds of different symptoms.
You got tightness in the chest.
You feel like your arms and legs are really heavy.
You're getting tics and spasms.
And you're still sleeping a lot.
Because you're tired all the time.
you got severe chronic fatigue and you're tired all the time and you're sleeping a lot,
but you feel like you still can't function and you still can't move out of these symptoms.
You still need to rest the nerves. You still need to take time out during the day where you're
laying there, you're shutting things down and you're saying, I'm shutting things down and I'm
resting the nerves. And then there's people with chronic fatigue that are so dead tired
all day long. They're so exhausted, but they can't sleep. They're dragging, their legs feel
like lead. They have brain fog, they can't function, and they still can't sleep at night.
And they're telling their doctors and their friends and their family, I'm so tired. And
they hear back from their family and their doctors and their friends, why don't you just sleep?
if you're so tired just sleep it off just get rest or they hear a loved one or a family member say
just rest up and you're like i am resting up i'm trying to rest up but i can't seem to sleep all
the time like i'm tired i can't function i feel like i need sleep but i can't sleep
when that happens it's time to rest the nerves again
you can do it every hour where you rest them for
5 minutes, 10 minutes
you can lay there on your bed, on a couch, on the floor
anywhere you want or sitting up in a chair
if you're somebody struggling where you have to sit upright
in a chair
or on a couch
you can still rest your nerves
relax your arms
even if you're in pain
or you're having spasms or twitches
or some kinds of tingles and numbness or sensations
you can still just relax the best you can
and say I'm shutting everything down
even if your mind's racing
just I'm shutting everything down
and I'm going to let my nerves heal
because I can heal
even if I don't get a lot of sleep.
I can heal and restore my nerves
and move forward and heal
and someday I will be out of these symptoms.
And the stronger you get
and the healthier you get
and the stronger you get as you're recovering,
you'll start to sleep and sleep more and more and more.
And if you're somebody that you're sleeping fine
and you're still struggling with symptoms and conditions
like a lot of people do,
resting the nerves is a great way to recover faster and stronger.
I just wanted to run some of that by you guys
because there's so many people that struggle with neurological symptoms
and resting the nerves is one of the most powerful tips.
Very powerful, very healing.
It's easy to do too.
Anyway, take one day at a time.
Keep up all the healing.
Know that I care.
Love you guys.
