I know low-quality sleep is the cause of a lot of diseases and bad daytime conditions,
and still, it's difficult to have high-quality sleep.
It takes a long time to fall asleep when I go to bed,
and I'm so bored I can't stop browsing social media,
it always ends up with 2~5 hours!
Recently I bought a Kitchen Safe (time locking container) to force me to stop using my phone.
And it works!
I can't do anything other than sleep.
Still, it takes a lot of time to fall asleep, but if I continue this,
I believe I can become a good sleeper!
(It helps to reduce phone time in general, I recommend it to anyone.)
- Tempest1981 4y agoTry listening to a non-exciting podcast, played at 75% speed. It works for me. Lex Fridman's voice/tempo is perfect. The Overcast app can be set to turn off after N minutes.

- Tempest1981 4y agoMeditation audio can also work, but for me, the gaps of silence are too long, and my brain starts churning/processing. (I know the point of meditation is to overcome this.)
- rubyskills 4y agoYou should check out Andrew Huberman's videos about sleep on YouTube. I found that strategies to get my core body temperature down towards the evening, combined with morning light exposure and exercising daily have made a huge difference for me. I'm tired at night and just want to go to sleep. I have a lot more tips, but most of it you can get from Huberman.
- hamasho 4y agoThanks, I'll check them! Those self-improve materials don't always work for me, but sometimes I can find some good points that resonate with my lifestyle. I hope to find them in his videos.
