This. No one ever talks about.thjs or acknowledges it.
When you're trying to fall asleep you literally can't move. Not even a finger. Focus on that and you'll have an easier time sleeping. Every time you fidget or even move a finger you reset your sleep start
Great way to self induce sleep paralysis if your mind is still racing when it thinks it's asleep. Although with greater control I've heard you can use this as a brute force technique to lucid dream.
Consistent schedule, completely dark room or mask, complete quiet or ear plugs (though you might die if the house burns down or someone breaks in and you don't hear it), no heavy food before sleep, no screen before sleep (I fail at this one).
Stop drinking coffee entirely. No this is not bait or a meme. I had trouble sleeping for years, 6 months cold turkey coffee. My insomnia and dogshit sleep went away.
I don't care that you drink it in the morning, if you're prone to having shit sleep or taking too long to fall asleep it'll frick with ur mind and body one way or another.
Why is it that some people can just lie down and automatically fall asleep (even after looking at screens and not doing all the sleepmaxxing stuff) and others not? What is the difference?

What the frick? What went wrong? Animals can lie down and sleep, some humans too, why do others have to do it MANUALLY? Wtf is the problém here??
And before you reply think again about how there are people who just lie down and sleep, like that. Are they all sleep deprived or what? There has to be some deeper thing at play here to which "sleep tips" are just a bandaid, no?
I just lay down and pass out. I know what you're talking about but stuff like that happens in phases for me, but 95% of the time I lay down and pass out without any trouble. If I ever can't (almost never). I will sit cross legged in bed and meditate for 20min and then I will pass out.
I will add that you obviously have sleep anxiety now to even write this post which just makes the problem worse. You have to just not care. And if you don't think you can sleep then don't go to bed. Try the meditation.
I don't know I just close eyes and sleep
What will keep me awake is of I'm thinking about things then I will never sleep
So I just think about a black screen or something or just focus on listening to my breathing to avoid thoughts then just fall asleep.
If I think I'm still going to struggle I take a bit of liquid melatonin.
What I don't get is how people can survive on like 5-6 hours of sleep, if I don't get minimum 8 I feel like pure garbage
S T R E S S. Is something causing you to feel like a caged animal every day instead of a roaming lion? I thought I had sleep apnea. Turned out to be mostly hating my job.
Yes. I had enough of the actual signs + symptoms that I sought one out (frequently waking up drenched in sweat, a-fib, never EVER feeling rested). Numbers came back fantastic. But I think that being desperate enough to seek out the sleep study definitely made me seek out answers to internal struggles as well. I quit my stressful job working for ungrateful and anti-white clients. Unironically cleaned my room (and every other square foot of my abode), like I mean really get rid of your junk. And I stopped all alcohol and nicotine intake. Other things too, but point is stressors are individual.
It’s weird that I could strangle this cat in seconds with my bare hands but a million scientists couldn’t make a new one in a million years with the best machinery in the world
If you've tried all of the sleep hygiene memes without success, you can try:
melatonin (low dose, more than 2mg is counter intuitive), ashwagandha, doxylamine or other sedating anti-histamines, low dose mirtazapine, ultra low dose quetiapine

Closing your eyes
Your cat looks like a final Fantasy character

Sleep mask, zine, cold shower, and clean bed sheets weekly

Coffee lasts just long enough for you to get another in the morning before withdrawls start. That shits insidious.

did you do a sleep test?
Yes. I had enough of the actual signs + symptoms that I sought one out (frequently waking up drenched in sweat, a-fib, never EVER feeling rested). Numbers came back fantastic.

They are either sleep deprived, burnt out by their wagie job, or it's a habitual thing for them.
It's on the blood

Why eye masks do people use?
LIsten to girlfriend asmr and pretend somebody loves me

I'm pretty sure you can clone a cat for several thousand dollars
yeah but you still need another cat for it

I recently got a air purifier running 24/7. it might just be anecdotal but i have been sleeping without waking up 40 times a night ever since
Don't have any obligations or job that requires a regular schedule.
I just fall asleep within 2 mins of closing my eyes every night, I never wake up or hear things when I sleep etc. It's great.

It increases blood flow to your skin and lets you dump heat, just do it quickly so you don't heat up internally
yes?
Magnesium.
