I have heart issues (had a stent 2 years ago - early for my age) and have always slept poorly (mostly bad habits + diet).

Sleep routine is the most essential thing to fix if you have resolved all your basic needs. It creates a feedback loop that helps to reduce stress and improve health.

I've learned this the hard way - you shouldn't have to.

How did you fix it? I suffer from asthma and frequent urination issues, both of which wake me up several times a night. It doesn't seem to matter much what my routines before sleep and after waking are if I am involuntary woken during sleep, and I'm stymied for a solution.
