My problem wasn't so much about waking up, but what I did before going to bed; I would roll in bed for hours without getting any sleep, check my phone and think about everything.
I decided to leave my phone outside the bedroom and never taking it (no exceptions) and go to bed regularly at the same time, after a few days by body adapted and I'm having wonderful sleep again, to the point I can remember my dreams again.
All the numbness that I used to have in the mornings is gone, also I don't take any coffee or tea.
- kzrdude 5y agoYou are an inspiration. Lately I've taken to listening to a podcast on a sleep timer (it's not great but, it's better than not wanting to put down the information firehose - phone/computer - at all, it eases you into it).
- soco 5y agoI think the major impact is giving up on the "think of everything" part. Don't recapitulate the day in bed, don't plan for the next day in bed, don't do anything not bed-related in bed. It's no easy task but made the entire difference for me.
