As a new dad, I can attest that you can survive (and be productive) on a lot less sleep then you think. The trick is that you have to be a lot more active in the day, so you are actually tired at night and can fall asleep fast. And, you have to avoid stuff like alcohol as it really messes up your sleep cycle.
- enraged_camel 14y agoI find that small amounts of alcohol (like a glass of red wine) actually help me sleep well. Anything more than that however causes me to wake up continuously throughout the night and have a headache in the morning. There's also a trick I learned a couple of years ago that helps you fall asleep when you're lying in bed drunk with your eyes closed and, as the saying goes, "the world keeps turning." That trick is to put one foot on the floor. That will stabilize your sense of balance and you'll be able to fall asleep very quickly. (Also works if you're queasy with things like food poisoning.)
