      @@nguyenviethung9727 I think of it as if it's on your mind before bed then you dream of it. At least for me, like if I read a book about something then I will dream of it, I also like to journal before bed so depending on what I write I sometimes dream about that as well. Basically what I am trying to say is if I think of something before bed then it is on my mind throughout the night (which is longer than if I try to memorize it in the morning, as I will take it off my mind in an hour or so)
      Hope my way of thinking makes sense:)

    1. Regularity (of sleeping and waking up) 2. Temperature (keep it cool about 18 deg C) 3. Darkness (dim lights, avoid screens) 4. Walk it out (if can't sleep within 25 mins in bed, do something else, don't let your brain form an association between your bed and sleepless lying down) 5. Monitor alcohol & caffeine (avoid) 6. Wind down routine (try some activities and make your own routine)

    A tip that really helped me was doing exercise and eating lightly before sleeping. It helped me whine down really easy after showering and going to bed straight away. My body bloats really bad too after eating so drinking a smoothie for dinner helped me heaps. I would also spend all my energy working out so I’d be exhausted by the time I hit the bed.

Your routine can vary, but doing this every day will let your mind and body know it's time to fall asleep. It also helps to listen to some soothing music *HINT* *HINT* *WINK* WINK*.

If light going through your retina is a trigger for melatonin reduction, and you're not going outside because you work at home, then it would explain why I'm tired all the time. My doctor also said I was low on Vitamin D. Interesting discussion.

One thing that I realized from this video that I think is crucial is that I tend to take a long time to wind down in bed by watching youtube for 1-2hours. Then I’d sleep for about 10 hours sometimes but still feeling groggy and tired.

      Don’t watch video’s (or even tv) in bed. Listen to an audio book with a sleeptimer, so it will stop after a while (screen off), or even try yoga Nidra (you do that laying in bed;))

      Sounds like a bad habit you got there! Though you're getting to sleep so... But perhaps struggling to get into deep sleep?
      I think screens are best avoided after 9pm. Listen to a good podcast, read a book, or journal (whatever's on your mind, write about it until you feel like you've come to some resolution in your own head) - all would be better advised.

    Is it really normal for most people to take 10-25 minutes to fall asleep? I usually fall asleep within a minute. If anyone would like my tip; here you go: try to actually think of something when you go to bed like for an example, something you enjoy which for me is snowboarding so I imagine myself boarding down a hill or remembering old good memories of it. Doing this almost starts up a dream and creates a tired atmosphere.
    Edit: Tip- don’t think of thoughts like ‘omg when am I going to fall asleep’, because as obvious as it is.. most people continue to think these thoughts constantly and you will take a long time to fall asleep doing so. Just imagine your dreams.

      Yes, I'm like you - but like that other commenter mentioned, I heard that falling asleep that fast means we are sleep-deprived. Who knows. I have relatives who also have no problem falling asleep quickly and in most any environment, so I wonder what the genetic component is (or if there is one).

  • @yanlobau560

    Nice tips, very basic but they are bare minimum for better sleep.
    I found the most difficult is to disengage from devices and things which makes my brain active. the goal is to do vice versa - during last 2 hrs of wakefulness you must slow yourself down, phisycally and mentally.
    Also i've noticed that if you go to bed too tipsy gives a feeling of better sleep but in reality you wake up in worse shape wanting to go sleep whole day.
    Thanks for tips!

    It largely depends on the individual. Coffee actually helps me to get "tired" and I usually enjoy a cup after dinner. As for screens, sure but it's mighty difficult to stay away from them. I usually make my rounds in games after going to bed since I can't just turn off the light and instantly pass out. But I understand that the screen light as well as excitement you get from games can work against you. I know from my reports that I spend about 2h every day on the cell. Most of that is in bed. Not that I avoid screens outside of bed though, I in fact spend most of the day behind a computer. I know there is some research into screen time but really we will have to wait a few decades more until that long-term research comes out. Right now we're the guinea pigs in a worldwide experiment.

    What does help me to fall asleep: audiobooks. I always listen to an audiobook before sleeping (on a timer); mostly I sleep within 5-10 minutes. If I wake up in the middle of the night and sleep won’t come easy, I put the audiobook back on (sleeptimer on 2 hours); in the unfortunate event that I won’t fall asleep, I have heard a good story, if I do fall asleep, that is even better :) I usually go to bed around 9 pm, sometimes read a little, ‘till 9.30 and wake up around 5.30-6am. If there is insomnia involved (happens in periods), I can lie awake for several hours/half the night and when my day allows it, I will get up a little later (8am). I mostly sleep between 6-9 hours a night.

    1. REGULARITY- Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time.
    2. TEMPERATURE- Keep the room cool in order to initiate sleep.
    3. DARKNESS- To trigger the release of melotonin.
    4. WALK IT OUT- Dont stay awake at bed for the long time.
    5. MONITOR ALCOHOL AND CAFFEINE- Don't be tipsy y'all.
    6. HAVE A WIND DOWN ROUTINE- Disengage from phone or computer.
    If you have insomia or sleep apnea, it wont work so you need to consult your doctor.

    Thank you so much! The info is good to know and the animations are splendid. Also, you have a cool accent!
    I have an extra tip to add. Try 1 sleep tip at a time, so you don't get overwhelmed. Focus on following 1 sleep tip (if you want to). You can always try a new sleep tip when you feel like it.
    2nd tip: If your mind is racing or you are stressed before sleeping, you can try a meditation exercise to quiet down and feel better. They calm me down, and they don't need any special things. I am using the UCLA Mindful app, which has recordings guiding you to do a meditation.
    Anyway, I hope you find some good sleep and stay safe
