Check with your doctor, you might have sleep apnea. It is well documented that sleep apnea can be the root cause of nocturnia.

you will have to deal with the potential smell and dumping the poop. you dont want that thing fermenting and festering in your bag.

I stopped drinking fluids three hours before sleep and that's helped. Just have to hydrate well early in the day.

Doesn't work if i drink any alcoholic or sugary beverages.

That's actually really sweet. Take good care of each other.

And the best part is you don't know which one you'll get when you go to bed.

Barely standing awake at 10 fighting to keep your eyes open when you finally go to bed? Wide awake at 1 in the morning.

Browsing the internet at midnight because you are clearly not tired? You open your eyes and it's mid afternoon.

Cpap? Among other things?

I describe adulthood as an ever-increasing amount of rituals to maintain normal.

That's what the fan is for. I leave a strategic gap between bed and blanket to allow for airflow. Works especially well when turned against wall, then I breathe through the gap between bed and the wall.

I can't sleep with my head uncovered.

Yeah well,

I exercise, eat healthy and am not American.

My sleep is still fuck.

Take your high horse and ride it into the sunset.

I'm sixty, and I agree. The best time to start taking better care of yourself is when you hit 18. The second-best time is right now.

For the past 16 years, I've steadily improved my diet and exercise habits. I feel pretty good, compared to what I hear others complain about. I sleep about seven solid hours per night, typically waking up once around 3AM. I'd like to get more, but I've accepted that ~seven is all I need, because I can't sleep longer.

I think when you hit 45, you need to make a choice. You can choose to put in the effort or not. No one can do it for you, and no one else really cares whether you do. In fact, some people will actively discourage you, sadly enough.

The reason this post connects with people is that it validates a very well understood connection between aging and difficulty sleeping

Turning around and invalidating people in response and telling people its their own fault is frankly silly. Just because you resolved your sleep/health issues by taking better care of yourself doesn't mean everyone else struggling with sleep is just an unhealthy bum who should do better

Aging tends to bring with it sleep problems that aren't caused by lifestyle factors associated with poorer health, and even in cases where someones health issues are because theyre not taking good enough care of themselves, telling those people its their own fault generally overlooks socioeconomic factors- it usually amounts to blaming people for being poor, or mentally unwell

Source: I have a severe sleep disorder and at 27, I've seen a multitude of sleep doctors (and am still searching for a Dr who is knowlegable enough about my condition to try and help me beyond what I'm already doing) and spent a fair chunk of my life at this point sitting across from one discussing sleep issues

I've hard that dietary melatonin is generally best to avoid unless suggested by your physician.

All at the same time?
