ooh yeah who else wants to share sleep stacks? here's mine: - oral appliance for sleep apnea (the most important thing but gives me TMJ issues) - sleep mask - mouth tape - sunlight - exercise (walks, lifting) - emotional processing / journaling - no screens after 10ish

i used to take melatonin but i think regularly taking melatonin interferes with the body's natural melatonin cycle. getting sunlight esp. at sunset and sunrise improves natural circadian rhythm stuff including melatonin cycle, so does avoiding light at night

blackout curtains would probably be good but i am too lazy to figure out how to set them up. i do turn off all the lights in my room, including really minor ones like the tiny charging lights, i think they do matter

sleep apnea is pretty common (random googling suggests 25% of men and 10% of women), worth getting tested for if you don't wake up refreshed. when i don't use the oral appliance i wake up feeling like i've been choked all night, chest feels bad, out of breath, tired all day

mouth tape was a big help for me, especially after reading Breath by James Nestor. but now we have a 10-month-old so I relate more to

- cold-ish room (tricky in summer) - blackout curtain - my very comfy bed - melatonin - exercise - redshift on my monitor - morning staring at the sky - just sleeping really late - very occasionally, full clock rotation over a couple of weeks

emperors cloud breathwork if I’m not sleepy yet - Don’t do the mouth tape thing but I should… - consistent bedtime / no alarm wake-up w sun in the AM (I’m sick so this was not an ideal week, but not horrible):
