For tonight's experiment, I'm going in the opposite direction. I'm going to bed as soon as I get tired. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll read or something. If I wake up at 4 am for no good reason, then I'll just get up.

I bought myself a salt lamp today. Not for any of the bullshit claims but because it's a pretty light. I've started listening to ocean sounds before bed and I think the pinky/orange glow will be a nice addition to my new #bedtime #SleepHygiene routine.

Also for anyone I familiar with the term sleep hygiene is to do with your bedtime routine, sleep habits, sleep space etc

I sleep in the recovery position most of the time and tend to punch myself in the head while asleep. Maybe this chap will help.

Staying up too late is starting to wear me down. I'm back on the sleep hygiene train as of today. Choo-choo!

I went all day w/o using air conditioning. Turned it on around midnight because the heat made it hard to sleep, only to awake at 4:00 a.m., freezing.

Quick hack for better sleep if you struggle w/ Insomnia: Take a hot shower before bed. Your body temp drops when you leave the shower which facilitates sleep. Rapid decline in core body temp increases likelihood of sleep initiation and facilitates entry into deeper sleep stages.

Do mobile apps have a role to play in promoting a good night's sleep? While some take the 'screen-free bedroom' approach, many are turning to mobile apps that use #tech and #AI to support healthy sleeping habits.

"The burgeoning sleep technology market includes devices to track our slumber patterns, apps providing restful mediation, as well as services to manage medical disorders like sleep apnea or narcolepsy."

Also, as many ppl probably already know, the #halflife of #caffeine has a direct impact upon #sleepquality for many people. Two integrated medicine doctors I know suggested a 2 pm cutoff time for caffeine intake, independently of one another, as a general guideline to promote better #sleephygiene. #wellness #sleephygienetips

Dear future self: please remember that working late—even if it you are in flow and hate to waste the opportunity and it’s fun and compelling—results in brain gerbils overnight which will keep you awake with cool and/or scary ideas. So please don’t. Or at least have 1 hour of some other activity before bedtime.

Eating in bed may seem cozy, but it can lead to poor sleep habits, crumbs in your sheets, and an increased risk of spills and stains. Stick to the kitchen table for a healthier and more hygienic meal experience. #sleephygiene #healthyhabits

Today is reportedly #NationalSleepDay. Yesterday supposedly was #NationalIntrovertDay. I must have transposed the days.

Before I retreat, then, I share that I avoid electronic screen use, save the alarm clock radio, two hours before bed, and keep my bedroom at a cool temperature. I also use ear plugs and a sleep mask. #sleepHygiene

Happy New Year! 🎉

... but I am going to bed on time because #SleepHygiene is important, and the holidays wore me out. 🥱 Midnight doesn't need me as witness. 😴

Y'all have fun. Be safe. 👋

I used to read before bed; these days I play #Boardgames on Board Game Arena while listening to #naddpod episodes with my sleep timer on, or watch a few minutes of #dimension20. I'm sure I'll cycle back to reading eventually.

I've always found it pretty easy to go to sleep, because, as I now realize, I intuitively know the exact amount of stimulation my #neurodivergent brain needs to be blissfully comfortable. It may not be other people's version of #SleepHygiene but it works for me.

Having trouble getting to sleep before 3am. I have to get up at 7am every day. I get more and more tired through the week, sleep erratically throughout the weekend then it starts over on Monday. It started getting really bad right after daylight savings. Any advice?
