HOW TO SLEEP BETTER - ASK ME ANYTHING AND I WILL HELP SOLVE YOUR

STEP FIVE:
Have a light snack before going to bed, like a banana or a warm glass of milk. Some people can't sleep because their blood sugar drops too low while they are in bed. You can also do this if you wake up in the middle of the night, and you should fall asleep again quickly. Ultimately, you will need to fix your blood sugar problems.

STEP SIX
Try a natural sleeping supplement. There are lots out there that work to varying degrees. Below is a list of them, going from most common to least common.
>Magnesium - calms the brain. Generally a good thing to take everyday even if you don't have sleeping problems.
>Melatonin - useful if you have trouble falling asleep, but not for other types of insomnia. Take 1mg or less when you get into bed. If it doesn't work the first time it's likely not going to work.
>Valerian - mildly sedating herb. Didn't work for me but seems to work for other people.
>5HTP - increases serotonin, which leads to increased melatonin, less anxiety and less depression. Take in the morning for a couple of weeks to feel the effects.
>Inositol - similar to the above.
>GABA - Doesn't work for everyone, but if it works, it works. Like a natural benzodiazepine but without side effects. Can also be used for day time anxiety.
>Marijuana/CBD oil - I don't use these but some people do. I'd personally go for CBD oil over marijuana any day, as it has way less side effects.

Nigger i dont live in a house, my bed is my couch

STEP SEVEN:
Get a sleeping pill from your doctor. This is a last resort, but desperate times call for desperate measures. They do have side effects and are easy to become dependent on, so try not to use them for more than three nights in a row. The problem with sleeping is that sometimes the anxiety of sleeping can become so much that you just need to break that cycle, and this is where a benzo will be useful. In the past I have used temazepam, which had a mild effect, and nitrazepam, which was very effective but left me feeling out of it the next day. Not ideal but neither is going for weeks without sleeping.

I started using a fan during the summer because it was so hot, and I found it helps me fall asleep better. Thinking of getting a white noise machine now.

>>42684657
Try and get a house. You will sleep better, trust me.

>>42684667
You could try using the fan in winter on a low setting instead of getting a white noise machine.

This looks like a quick summary of "Sleep Smarter". Am I wrong?

>>42684684
I don't know what that is, but this information isn't exactly secret so probably.

this was like reading how to win friends and influence people. nothing special about the information, but some people are fucking dense and don't realise that you shouldn't be sticking a phone in your face right before trying to sleep

Squats, obviously.

Bro-tip: just wake up earlier so you can fall asleep easier, assuming you want to sleep at a regular time

>>42684597
But watching unintentional ASMR videos in bed is my only way to fall asleep fast.

>>42687105
You need to accept that it'll get worse before it gets better. You'll probably never change because getting into a routine requires effort and discipline though.

the aliens wake me up almost every night to go get probed on their tour bus ufo. last night i released bug bombs in my room and slept with a gas mask but i guess the aliens are immune to pesticides caus there they were again, dragging me out of my goddamn bed to go get probed. it really affects my sleep patterns

>tfw tried all step except the last two with no luck.

I can't even remember the last time I slept out, definitely not this year

I always wake up atleast once to piss. I drink maybe 2-3L a day. Wat do.

Another thing is to not have caffeine after lunch

>>42684663
STEP EIGHT(NOT OP):
Don't do any strenuous activity 2 hours before bed. Give yourself at least an hour and a half to wind down. If you feel your resting heart beat is above normal - you haven't given yourself adequate time to cool down.

I had this problem training BJJ. Class finished at 730 and had to go to bed at 930. My heart rate was still ticking at 80-100 bpm. Falling asleep was nigh impossible.

Take this shit it's magic

>>42689737
Stop drinking before 5pm

>>42688851
Why not just try a natural sleeping supplement then? They are not exactly hard to get or harmful like benzos.

It's a rip off, but it would probably work. The problem is that 5htp leads to increased melatonin, and L-theanine and L-glutamine have the same effect, so there's basically no point in having all of them in there. You would be better off just trying either melatonin by itself (at a much lower dose) or l-theanine by itself. There is no need to take all of these together.

>>42692110
Some of those doses are also high enough to build tolerances, especially the doses of melatonin and l-theanine. On the other hand, the dose of 5htp is basically nothing. The recommended dose of 5htp for sleep is 200-400mg.

Are light alarms + blackout curtains worth it?

>>42692323
Black out curtains are the only reason I sleep so well at night during the summer when the sun rises so early.
