What are some night time habits that help you sleep?

[Anonymous]

1.) What do you do to fall asleep, what do you wear? 2.) Do you track your sleep with a sleep tracker? 3.) How many hours do you get on average? 4.) Any tips?

1) I turn a fan on for ambient noise & to diminish stuffiness of the room, I turn off all the lights, including any blinking lights like a printer still left on or the laptop I didn't shut down, I wear comfortable sleeping clothes... I'd recommend not wearing tight fitted underwear. I sleep best if my room is clean and if I've showered. Feeling clean helps me feel toasty under the comforter regardless of season. 2) No, I don't keep track of sleep. A method I learned once about figuring out how much sleep I need is on a normal day, sleep without an alarm. Doesn't work if you're sleep deprived or ill. Gives me an idea of when to realistically set my alarm. 3) Medical school changed me. I used to be able to function off 5 hours of sleep, 3 hours if I had to study. Now I can't possibly function properly if I don't get at least 7 hours. 4) Practice good sleep hygiene. Look at your sleeping environment and see if its conducive to such a peaceful act like sleeping. Make sure your bed doesn't have random things on it, strive to get a good routine going and your body naturally will set its own alarm, and look at what I do above for ideas. Also, don't eat 2 hours before bedtime especially junk, and don't drink caffeine past 6pm.

Turn all the lights off, put i wear you - years & years remake on repeat. Then maybe do a little day dreaming.

No. Why would i want to track my sleep? Who does that anyway😐

Depends on the day sometimes i only get 3 hrs sleep some other times 12-14 hrs

Drink a warm glass of milk or hot chocolate helps me everytime i can't sleep.

1) nothing, I naturally get sleepy around 10:30. I'm naked 90% of the time when it's bed time.
2) I do not.
3) I try to get 7, but I'll usually get 6

Listen to relaxing Ambient music for 15 or 20 minutes.
Make my room as dark as possible.
Put on basic boxers or Pajama pants.
Get 6-7 hours.

I kick my bros out of my room, so it would be noise free.

Sometimes drink ginger tea if my mom makes it.

I get about 5 hours of sleep on average.
