Issues with sleep
I have been struggling to sleep for more than 5 hours daily. Tried otc medication, meditation, exercise etc but nothing is really helping. Doctors suggest sleep medications which are addictive. I don’t think my problem is that worse yet. They ask me to reduce screen time but unfortunately I can’t due to work. At the same time I don’t work too much. I end my day at 6-6:30. My phone usage is low as well. Feeling desperate now Blind tax 350K L6 sde
Do you have sleep apnea?
How's your stress level? How's your caffeine intake? Controlling/reducing these helped me sleep better.
Reduced caffeine to just 1 cup (12 oz) in the morning
No blue light or screens for 1 hour before bed. 1mg Melatonin 30min before your desired sleep time. Sunrise alarm clock 7-8 hours after your actual current sleep time. Moderate exercise before dinner. Meditate for 5-25min before bedtime routines
Have some indica edibles
There is a plethora of sleep medication. Some are addictive, some are habit forming and some are neither
Examples of “neither”?
change your lifestyle, change your bed, change room temperature to cooler
It’s stress obviously. What’s “exercise etc”?
I used to struggle with sleep based on several factors, but chiefly stress, which kept me up late, and the belief in an arbitrary need to wake up early. It completely wrecked my health. … so I stopped setting a 4am-5am alarm. Yeah, I’m not up before the crack of dawn, which annoys me, but I get sleep. What are arbitrary limits you are putting on yourself?
Stop caffeine
Leave Amazon is your solution.
I was wondering the same thing. OP, did you have this problem your whole life or did it start at a certain time?
I work regular hours. To be frank my job isn’t too demanding or stressful. I can get nasty at times but that during a big release which I can’t avoid wherever I go.
