    How to sleep:

    Step 1. No phone/TV/screens in the bedroom
    Step 2. No screens 30 min before going to bed
    Step 3. Go to bed at the same time each night
    Step 4. Set yourself up to actually get enough sleep

    Try this for 6 weeks and then if you seriously still cant sleep discuss with a doctor.

      It seems obvious but also: don’t drink anything with caffeine before bed and don’t eat a good couple of hours before sleep too.

      I’ve had many friends who’d have a tea before going to sleep to ‘calm’ them without realising most have quite a lot still. Or guzzling down a soda too.

      You’re missing the only one that actually works for me. Get up at roughly the same time every morning. I won’t do it, but I should.

  • Has no one in this thread never considered the root cause with these:

    Anxiety. Americans are an anxious society. And that is with good cause, no social safety net, work 2 jobs to get ahead and a mass shooting every goddamn day.

      Hey man, an entire society of people in survival mode is how a degree of essentialism is maintained

    No caffeine or stimulants after noon. A considerable percentage shouldn’t have it after 10 am frankly.

    Try this: 1 week of no caffeine and no chocolate At least 20 minutes of exercise - can be split upper day Finish eating dinner and snacks by 7pm No gaming or stimulating entertainment 30-60 minutes before bed. Manage noise, light and other triggers.

    Smart watches or similar are good for watching your sleep quality.

    “Literally everyone”

    You keep saying that. I do not think it means what you think it means.
