How do you guys manage?
I am missing those good and long sleeps at nights in my school days, are you guys sleeping properly at nights?
I am trying many ideas, none seemed to work.
1. Stopped using phones at nights.
2. Gym and Cycling for 45 mins everyday.
3. Tried breathing excercises.
4. Tried pills but that makes the next day worse with drowsiness.
Recently I bought a sleep spray (melatonin 5mg) on Amazon, that kinda works well, but I am hesitant to use it on regular basis. Anyone had such issues before and resolved it later?
You probably have a sleep debt. It's a bit difficult to explain, but search on google about it. Don't worry you are at time to save it, you just need to work about it.
How many hours are you sleeping? some people only need 6 hours (example: Elon Musk). However, others need 8 hours (example: Jeff Bezos). The amount of hours you may need also changes because of your AGE (if you are a teenager you may need more). In my case, I actually need a minimum of 9+ hours of sleep. The how many hours you need, you can only discover by "trying". But if you are sleeping 6-7 hours, maybe you need 8-9 hours of sleep.
How many QUALITY hours do you sleep?
IT's important to mantain the quantity and at the same the quality, you can't sacrifice one.
Search about sleep cycles (usually happens each 90 minutes). If you are sleeping 8 hours and not working well, try 9 hours.
When you try new sleep routines, you don't try day by day, you need to stay fixed for a routine for 1 week in order for the sleep cycle to adapt and see the results.
Are you sleeping AT THE SAME TIME every single day?
You should stop using phones/computer/ or even TV at least 2 hours before sleep. Instead you can meditate, or read a book named "Why we sleep" by Matthew Walker. This book is really what you need to understand why we sleep, the dreams, and how you can solve your "sleep problems".
If "why we sleep" seems so simple to you, that's why you don't know who Matthew Walker is, or because you haven't read "Why we sleep" book.
Related to sleep pills, please avoid them. The why is explained in the book I mentioned earlier.
Also if you combine sleep pills + caffeine, that's a brain killer. Stop that.
Here are about few tips i don't know if you are already taking
=> Caffeine detox, avoid caffeine (specially if you take sleep pills).
=> Sleep at the same time everyday at your right sleep cycle. Each human has sleep cycle.
=> Sleep at the same time everyday
=> Sleep the right amount of time you need everyday.
=> Take a bit of SUN when you wake up. (Minimum 5 minutes, ideally 15~ minutes)
If you want to go hard core
=> Social Media Detox
This is something personal, i don't know if you are doing. But try not to jerk off everyday, that drains a lot of protein and energy. Search the term "Semen Retention".
Hope it helps <3 I took it seriously because "bad sleep" is a "silent dead"
