For those who are in tech, specifically in engineering roles, how are you sleeping? Are your sleep habits healthy?

For those of you that are over 30 years of age and sleep pretty good on most nights, can you add what is helping you sleep? Is it a partner that cuddles you? Seeing your kids happy? Exercise? Or turning off all electronics 2 hours before bed time?

  For some people, it’s not as easy. In my 20s I always thought ah sleeping is easy, you just go sleep, don’t understand what’s all the fuss about not being to sleep. Now in my mid 30s with some personal stuff that’s happened, I’m struggling to sleep on many nights, anxiety kicks in.

  Blind is both miserable and motivating

*Regular* exercise and bedtime helps me a lot. I haven't tried not watching TV or anything.

  Yeah I do exercise but I have a problem with screen time, especially at bed time; I think that’s what is ruining it for me.

  Here's something else a bit unorthodox you might try: drink something with reishi mushroom extract. Try some stuff from Four Sigmatic or just mix some with some uncaffeinated tea or something.

Exercise of course helps with most things but magnesium supplementation worked wonders for me.

It helps staying active and breaking a sweat most days, drinking lots of water, and going to bed and waking up at the same time each day.

  Haha see when I watch tv, I keep binge watching way beyond my bed time. Electronics keep me wide awake and alert.

  Turn on M*A*S*H then. If that doesn’t put you to sleep, I’m not sure what will.
  
  Edit: For some reason that intro always made me sleepy.

If you are struggling with good sleep habits, read Atomic Habits by James Clear I think.

I have always been the kind of person to quit on habits but have been sleeping by 10 and waking by 5 ever since a month.
