What I've found that improve my sleep are: Inclining my bed (inclined bed therapy) Darkening my room with blackout curtains Truedark glasses Opening my door a bit for better airflow Using mouth tape to keep my mouth closed at night Using a good pillow (I use a thin natural latex one since I sleep on my back) Using a firm mattress Using a bed frame with lots of slats for better support Going to bed before 11:15 at most (I will usually sleep earlier at 9 in winter and 11ish in the summer) I also have a grounding mat but I don't know if it does anything
I would like to add to your list. Life- changing for me was adding a sleep mask with headphones so I can listen to rain sounds or other sleep assisting sounds rather than my husband's snoring. I don't hear him anymore. This was after many sleep studies and previously taking Ambien because I could not stay asleep (thankfully no more Ambien.) I still wake up several times through the night but a lot less. 🎉
I'm French and I've never heard anyone saying "dormir avec un problème" (to sleep with a problem). Instead, we say "la nuit porte conseil" (the night brings advice).
Pareil Rolant, cette expression "dormir avec un problème" ne me dit rien, si je cherche (internet) les expressions liées au sommeil, je ne trouve aucune qui s'en approche.

I tell this, in the Spring when we lose one hour of sleep, next day, we see 24% rise in heart attacks. And we see the equivalent rise of suicidal risks, suicidal thoughts, suicidal attempts and suicidal completion, and road drive accidents, the following day. This is only for one hour of lost sleep.
People in the comment section are just being plain rude and bullying AURORA just because she dresses different from you? wt* Shes really sweet and a fantastic artist, so if you dont like just show some respect
I hate when you get to that point of not being able to sleep so you have no choice but to knock yourself out. I HAVE to take my sedatives when it gets that bad bc the pain of being awake is so bad that it's better to use it than not get any sleep. It's such a horrible cycle. I wish I could just sleep without the sedatives or sleeping pills. It's so hard to get out of the cycle.
In indian ayurveda also stated that sleep is necessary... but how can we apply that in current busy city life? Our employers want us to work for day n night... traveling in cities takes 3-4hrs... max sleep i can get is only 6 hrs and even if we get sleep itsalmost impossible to get continuous sleep due to stress!.
One of the best arguments made here is for the elimination of the archaic process of "daylight savings time", and for points well beyond an improved sleep cycle. It was primarily instituted in America to aid the agricultural industry and has been irrelevant now for decades. Unfortunately I believe it takes an act of congress to get rid of it, since that's how we got it to begin with, and congress more often than not doesn't know how to do things that benefit the majority of Americans (and/or don't care to).

Foxes' bloodcurdling screams at 3AM isn't good, so either risk that or shut the windows and increase CO2 in the room. Also, if you want to keep stable sleep times during DST then the "extra hour" is bad because then you have to get up an hour early (and go to bed an hour early) to keep getting up at the same UTC time. E.g. 10pm to 6am BST is 9pm to 5am UTC.
I always thought that when you REM sleep, you have a dream that is connected. Now I realize that's not true. We have a whole bunch of REM dreams squished together. That's why you try to find a connection within them.
So when I sat up until 3am revising for exams and feeling like nothing was going in, I should have gone to bed? Makes sense I suppose, but I'm a terrible insomniac. I've tried pills, meditation soothing music nothing works. But the sleeping pills worked for a while though I became tolerant to them, taking more and more. Dangerous.
Problem with post industrialization world. we were supposed to work harder to make our life more secure (stored food in kitchen, house, money in accounts). But price of that security is our mental health, increased risk of strokes, so on and so on...
Before I read the book the question "Why do We Sleep" is the mainline, after reading the book the reader will ponder altered question into "Why do We Wake Up".
What is wrong with that chopped-haired blond next to you? Couldn't the cameraman move camera away from her and focus on you? Was she in a trance? She totally distracted the audience ...

Sleep is so incredibly important, yet none of this information, as well as other wellness information, such as methods of reducing biological aging, get out to the highschools and the parents who need to know this stuff. Outdated textbooks and curricula, and outdated teachers seem to prevail.
Basically if you drink coffee before bed , it significantly blocks out your dream receptors. Which is vital in contributing to a full and optimal quality of sleep.
I did not hear one mention of blue light or artificial light at night or eating late at night. These are two main reasons people's circadian rhythm is off.
I love that this guy is basically the world's go-to guy for sleep information.
honestly it happened out of nowhere
LOL!!!

Sleep is so vital for good physical, mental and emotional health.
Everybody should prioritise sleep in 2020.
What I've found that improve my sleep are:
Inclining my bed (inclined bed therapy)
Darkening my room with blackout curtains
Truedark glasses
Opening my door a bit for better airflow
Using mouth tape to keep my mouth closed at night
Using a good pillow (I use a thin natural latex one since I sleep on my back)
Using a firm mattress
Using a bed frame with lots of slats for better support
Going to bed before 11:15 at most (I will usually sleep earlier at 9 in winter and 11ish in the summer)
I also have a grounding mat but I don't know if it does anything
So now you are broke and have to work 14 hours a day so by by sleep..

Hahahah
Main points:
8hrs sleep reduced to 6.5hrs
Two types of insomnia
Sedation is not sleep (sleeping pills)
Sleep helps solve problems
Sleep washes away toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s
Alcohol causes fragmented sleep and blocks dream sleep
Caffeine only in morning (taken at midday still affects sleep)
Sleep quality linked to heart attacks, suicide, traffic accidents
No other species deprive themselves of sleep, only humans
Recommendations:
Meditation
Worry journal finish with 3 good things/3 things to be grateful for
Sleeping separately
Sleep apnoea - see a doctor
Give a non-negotiable 8hr sleep opportunity

Very knowledgeable guy. If only sleep was that easy. I would literally give my right arm to have a decent night sleep regularly
Quit caffiene totally, take magnesium citrate and Ltheanine before bed
"also, alcohol is a very powerful drug at blocking your dream sleep. you'd rather go to the pub in the morning." So true.
Lmao all the other guests just increasingly gets depressed the more Matthew spills out the facts.
