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

I wish I had my CPAP machine 10 years earlier. My life would have been so different. Humans suck at sleeping, badly.
