anyone has troubles sleeping?

Blocking blue light an hour before bed helped immensely.

Blue light destroys the sleepy hormone melatonin and basically says: it's day baby let's go hunt that yummy dear.

I had sleep problems, I moved to a more illuminated place with natural light, I have also stopped using the cell phone 2 hours before going to sleep, as simple as turning off everything, eat and go to bed.

Has anyone tried the old Stooges method---i.e., a mallet kept at bedside?

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 can
1. Don't sleep during the day, try even if you're very sleepy
2. Take a warm bath after exercising, smash some ginger into hot water and soak your feet with it
3. Turn on meditation music, melodious piano music and light scented candles, creating a comfortable space
Maybe it will help you a little

I used to have severe insomnia, thank you for your useful shares

Indeed, exercise consumes energy to help you fall asleep very effectively

I think I read somewhere that your sleep cycle is an indicator or your overall wellness and mental health. When I fell into depression in 2019, first thing that happened to me was I couldn't get sound sleep. Maybe you are thinking about something and it is not letting you get proper sleep OP. See a professional medical doctor instead of popping pills on your own.

You can try eating lotus seeds, simmered, but don't rely too much on medicine

Can you sleep yet? I'm having the same problem as you

Sometimes, but to overcome it I take melatonin if needed or drink fresh milk 1-2hours before bedtime.

Sleep is very important, your sharing is very helpful, I will choose to exercise

I think bathing with hot water before going to bed makes the body more comfortable and makes it easier to sleep

Glad to hear from you, I tried taking medication but it made me sleepier the next day.

I've always had trouble getting to sleep.
I noticed a few big things that really made it worse and a few things that made it easier to go to sleep.

Here are the things that help me:
1) If I go to sleep and wake up at the same time for a few days in a row, it becomes easier to go to sleep and wake up, like a snowball effect. But stuff happens, pattern is interrupted and at step 0 again.
2) Sex or alone fun time makes it a lot easier.
3) Melatonin spray. This thing just makes me doze off almost mid sentence sometimes. Only drawback is I am more sleepy than usual when I wake up.
4) Not eating for at least 3 hours before bed makes it a lot easier to fall asleep
5) Hard workout during the day. If I just do a easier workout like hiking or easier weights it has no effect. But balls deep workout that makes you want to cry will do wonders for getting to sleep (martial arts has worked best for me).
6) Clean sheets + shower before bed time
7) Drinking lots of water (protip: alcoholic drinks also have water in them)

Here are the things that make it worse:
1) Nicotine before bed
2) Issues that came up during the day that I haven't managed to solve
3) Snacking before bed
4) Not using up enough energy during the day
5) Too warm (damn those summer 30 C nights
6) Not enough water, dehydrated.

Might be more, but those came to mind off the bat.

I increased my physical activity by walking around 2 hours daily in morning and evening.
Stopped taking an afternoon nap.
Now I can sleep much better.
Only issue if by any chance I wake up in the middle of the night it becomes tough to sleep again quickly.

If you want to correct your sleep cycle, first you have to correct your morning routine.

• When you wake up in the morning, do not lie on the bed forever, get up immediately.
• Don't even touch the phone for at least 1 hour.
• Drink 400ml water drink slowly take your time. (I take 8-12 minutes)
• Then do all the rest of the morning activities, but don't do workout for at least 1 hours

And Before you go to sleep do this...

• Have your dinner 3-4 hours before you go to sleep.
• Stay away from the phone for 1 hour before going to sleep.

This routine works for me...I don't know when I fell asleep.

I think it will work for anyone who wants to correct sleep cycle.

If you have insomnia for too long, you should not abuse medication but should see a doctor
