One thing that directly affects my quality of sleep is what time I eat dinner. I learned via the Oura ring that if I eat too close to bedtime, my deep sleep is significantly reduced because my metabolism is still cranking away. My goal is to finish dinner and all eating by 7:30pm. I go to bed around 10:30pm and set my AC to 62 degrees Fahrenheit. If I finish eating by 8pm, I notice the difference.
Dark and cold environment is true but I don't agree with 'quiet' after I read from a sleep specialist that our bodies actually evolved to sleep in nature so sounds of nature are much better than just quiet.Useful video Levi, thanks.Nice to see you up to date
Thanks for sharing. This is true to some extent, i.e. white noise, pink noise, or brown noise. However, traffic noise and honking horns? Not so much ;)
guilty of taking my computer with me on bed... sometimes I turn on the night light setting on my computer... I usually listen to different teachings to fall asleep... If I am not listening something, I can't sleep.
Since you turned off commenting on the video you posted about aphantasia: do you have it and how to combat it (presumably because you received some less than positive comments from some pretty frustrated viewers I’d like to politely put an idea to you here instead. In that video you mentioned that a student came to you claiming have aphantasia and you changed his mind by asking him to describe some details about the kitchen in his family home. I see where you’re coming from with your angle and why it may be easy to dismiss what the student was saying because he could recall information from his memory but here’s the thing, People with aphantasia still have memories, they just have no visual representation for that memory in their mind. Hard to wrap your head around? I hear you. It’s probably about as hard for you to wrap your head around as finding out people’s brains could actually conjure up a visual representation of whatever they were imagining was for me. (Really still seems like magic). Consider this example using a different visual impairment that might make it easier to understand. You’re friend is colour blind. He’s lived in the same house his entire life. One day you’re sat in his living room and he tells you he is colour blind. You tell him he isn’t and point at the wall and ask him what colour the wall is. He’s lived in the house his whole life, the wall has never been repainted, he’s been told it’s red for as long as he can remember. He’s aware that it’s red. “There you go, you’re not colour blind at all” you reply. He shrugs it off because he’s polite but he thinks for a moment about how ignorant you sound before forgetting all about it. Just because people have aphantasia doesn’t mean they have no memory of things. Our brains just store and relay that information in a non visual format when we recall it.
Mouth breathing instead of nose breathing is also proven to be a huge detriment to sleep and a large cause of snoring and sleep apnea and multiple waking events during the night.
Did you know that nightshift work is classified as a Class 2 Carcinogen? Might want to look into a career change! www.esmo.org/oncology-news/Night-Shift-Work-Classified-as-Probably-Carcinogenic-to-Humans
Your video where you deny the existence of aphantasia is insulting and you completely either misunderstand or intentionally misrepresent the information you reference. You also have the comments turned off which tells me you know you've offended people. Stop telling people they are broken and you can fix them for money. Aphantasia is not a defect, it's not a lie, and it's not people being too stupid to know what visualizing means.

Thank you for this, Mentor.
You are very welcome

Not good! I suggest trying for a week: no electronics in the bedroom!
People that cant sleep because of inner chat should focus on meditation

My neighbours are the flipping reason!!
That is horrible. I wear noise cancelling headphones. Initially uncomfortable, but as need to sleep eventually got used to them...
I love your contents I have started learning super learner course since 2017!
Awesome, thanks!
What if your extremely hyper 3 year old is the cause?
What do I do?! I work nights!
