#22. If you can find the time, work out
3. Most people need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep. While it's also recommended to atleast get 1 block of 5 hours during sleeping.
4. Water, get an healthy amount of water in a day (though don't start chugging like a mad men, I said an healthy amount)
5. Having an balanced diet that is maintainable.
6. Having a cold shower in the morning wakes me up, so does taking a dump
7. Drop sweet drinks they're sugared water and hold more calories then you should drink
I'm not an doctor so take everything I say with an pinch of salt

#3Things that help me when I'm feeling tired or just struggling with keeping a normal sleeping pattern: 1. try to cut coffee for a month. You'd be surprised how much it affects your sleep/eating habits. Or atleast it does for me. 2. If you can find the time, work out 3. Most people need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep.

#42. Avoid blue screens 1 or 2 hours before sleep. I used to read my books on a Kindle Fire. I started reading paper books at night.
3. Exercise. The best time for exercising is when you have the time.
These three things should account for a significant improvement.

#5Caffeine after ~3pm is a no-go for me (other friends of mine have different cutoff times)
Also don't forget that alcohol can make sleep lower quality as well.
Working out regularly also helps, as well as avoiding screens for 1 hours before bed.

#6At the beginning it felt hard, but I kept it, thinking that I’d get used to it. And I actually got used to it. Except that my sleep quality was deteriorating slowly without me noticing.
The pillow lead to a “hidden” neck pain that I was feeling all the time. During the last previous months my sleep was horrible, I’d randomly wake up a lot of times during the night.
Two weeks ago I thought about ditching the pillow. The results were magical : I’ve never felt having a better sleep during the past year, and my neck pain started disappearing.
I’m still surprised how a whole year has passed before I suspected that the pillow might be the cause.

#8I had that problem. Even 9 hours wouldn't rest me, as I wasn't getting quality sleep. Went to an ENT, who scheduled a sleep study. I have sleep apnea. Got a CPAP (on my third now, 14 years later). Since then, I'm fully charged with 6.5 hours of sleep. Consider a sleep study.
