My sleep is really shitty lately so I need some advice to sleep faster. I am considering not being on the phone later at 9:00

      1. Might be worth having your last a bit earlier. I’ve found that a cup at noon makes a difference for me falling asleep so most days I stick to just the one at 6ish when I wake up
      2. If possible throw in some exercising, it’ll help with tiring you out even if it isn’t super intense. Plus it is good for overall health
      3. Again here, if possible get a bit better options in. Canned food isn’t inherently bad but it can be overly salty at times. I get that there could be economic reasons that make this one harder to accomplish so do what you can but don’t overburden yourself
      4. That’s good, means you don’t likely have to change much there. It could help to set a routine to make stopping with the phone easier. Like adding a 30 min reading session before bed or some meditation, or yoga if that is your thing. Essentially some routine to train yourself and your body that it is time to sleep

      All this might sound like a lot but you don’t have to be perfect on day one and have to find a thing that works for you

          For the exercise if you can add a bit more it could help with getting tired when you want to sleep.

          Yea like I said I understand the diet one might not be possible to change much with that.

          I suppose pen and paper could be part of a winding down routine. Maybe spend a bit of time before bed writing down anything on your to do list or on your mind. It might help with falling asleep easier
