Last last night I couldn't sleep and ended up conking out around midday, which screwed me over last night :/
I don't know whether I should nap or not. I only have 1 thing to do today which is in the late Arvo, so I could have a nap either now or around noon, but then it feels like I'm surrendering to the bad sleep cycle again. But on the other hand if I don't and I fall asleep and miss my thing, that's probably a worse outcome
Oh, and I don't remember who suggested iherb for melatonin but I've given up trying to get an actual prescription for it, so thanks for the recco. I'll order some next week
Agreeing with mother CEO.
Look up sleep hygiene. If you’re interested watch the Dr Michael Mosley sleep study episodes on SBS. I think there are just a few.
The importance of sleep routines for those of us that struggle with sleep cannot be understated. Research finds that it takes years off your life. Which makes me lament our culture of work hard, play harder. I wish, wish, wish, I understood sleep quality years ago. All-nighter badge of honours aren’t all so great when you understand the cost.
Also melatonin efficacy is… has an effect on a certain cohort for perhaps getting to sleep, but maintaining being asleep…
Also, napping is a skill (that I am super bad at and can’t do).
