Sleep Hygeine tips

My ideas to help me fall asleep at night. I'm generally a good sleeper, but I require less sleep than most people.

  • a consistent sleep schedule is #1 important thing. sleeping/waking at consistent times matters even more than total hours slept imo.
  • don't eat for ~3 hrs before you want to go to bed
  • exercise at some point during the day
  • avoid hanging out in your bed during the day, only go in your bed if you want to sleep (day naps ok).
  • i use an eyemask every single night, my fav is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KC5DWCC
  • leave your phone in a diff room / far away from the bed when you sleep
  • bonus points in the morning right when you wake up drink a bunch of water
