Insomnia and Hashimoto's, and I can't believe I haven't talked about this one yet. Because it's so huge. I mean, really sometimes when people will, you know, they'll say, okay, doc, you know, they know who I am or something like that. I'm talking to people and they're like, oh wow. I can't go to your pre three. You know, this can't go through your program or whatever. I can't, I can't do my diet or whatever. What's, what's like one of the one things you would have me change and really sleep is like way, way, way on top of the list of things that I would have them change relative to relative to their, their immune problem. I mean, if I put it right up there with gluten and I'd put it right up there with certain supplements that are really, really, really can be really powerful.

And auto-immunity, it's way up there because w when you get into REM sleep, when you get into that right sleep pattern it's, it's called restorative sleep, basically. That's when healing accelerates. So whatever you're doing with your diet and whatever you're doing during the day relative to your supplements, your diet, your other triggers, your, your exercise, you're not, over-training all these other things are, they kind of come together when you sleep. I, I is this for me, this, excuse me for me, this is like top, top, top. I strive to always get my sleep and I have to sleep more than eight hours. For those of you who have seen this for the first time, I have Hashimoto's and a number of other autoimmune issues. So I have to I have to sleep more than eight hours, and sometimes it's, it's a long time, so I make sure I get the bed early.

I make sure I get through the night. I make sure that when I wake up, I'm feeling refreshed. And if I'm not, I'll stay there until I am. I'll know when it, when it is. So there's not an exact number of hours for sleep for an automated patient probably is relative to how severe you are suffering, how many tissues are being damaged, sleep. So sleep is very restorative. It also is it's controlled by a part of your brain called the hippocampus the same part of your brain that is relative to short-term memory loss at the same, same area. Cause short-term memory. It turns into long-term memory when you sleep. So the same part of the brain is involved in your sleep. Rhythm sleep rhythm is huge. Circadian rhythm is huge. So I've had several patients over the years who have inconsistent work schedules.

So there's, there's, there's working normal day time, and then they switch over to a night shift and then they switch over the daytime and then they switch over to swing shift. I I'm in Reno, Nevada, where we have several casinos and casino workers will, will have that happen to them regularly. They start getting sick, they start getting injured. They can't think as well because it's, it's screwing up their brain and they're not getting the proper REM sleep. They're probably not getting the proper restorative sleep. So it, it makes them much more susceptible to getting sick.
