I take a nap every afternoon preferably at 1:15 p.m.. I waken 20 minutes later, refreshed and ready for the rest of the day.
- corysama 8y agoI’ve started throwing a black t shirt over my eyes at night. Looks stupid, but it works. 1) I thought I had lost my ability to sleep in when needed because of my age. Turns out I’m just more sensitive to light. 2) It even helps in the middle of a dark night. It’s a little darker, a little quieter, a little warmer. There was a paper recently about how maybe REM sleep warms the brain. Maybe there was something to nightcaps as well.
- matwood 8y agoI do this and it’s amazing. A dark t-shirt or even a super soft pillow let’s me sleep whenever I have time.
- tomduncalf 8y agoBuff headwear (http://www.buffwear.co.uk/ http://www.buffwear.co.uk/) is great for this as it’s a really soft material, much more comfortable than an eye mask I find, and will stay in place unlike a towel or whatever. Blocks out a pretty good amount of light too.
