c/sleep-hacks

The military sleep method had me designing gardens in my head

It's supposed to make you fall asleep quickly. I was wide awake planning irrigation systems instead.

Unpopular opinion: I sleep better with a warm room, not a cold one like everyone says.

I mocked steady bedtimes until mine fixed my foggy brain

I used to think going to bed at the same time was for kids or robots. My sleep was all over the place, and I felt groggy every day. A friend kept nagging me to try a set bedtime for just one week. I finally caved, mostly to get her off my back. I picked 10:30 PM and stuck to it, even on weekends. After a few days, I noticed I woke up before my alarm. Now, a month in, my focus is sharper and I have more energy. It sounds basic, but it's the best sleep hack I've ever tried.

Doc says no, but bedtime coffee works for me.

It stops my thoughts so I can sleep.

Watching my niece rely on a sleep app made me reminisce about my dad's old radio static trick lol
