Re: Improving sleep
#2How do you sleep with Airpods Pro's in? (wouldn't it be uncomfy, especially if sleeping on one's side?)
Re: Improving sleep
#3In the past I had problems both with falling asleep and staying asleep, but these days it's mostly the latter. I've tried pretty much everything, too, to no avail. What works best is melatonin, but it's still spotty and I suffer diminishing returns after 3-4 days of consecutive use. I wish you good luck.

#4Biggest improvement to sleep quality I had was giving up caffeine, which isn't mentioned in this article.
I'm inclined to bet, most people in the west who self report suffering form poor sleep, can narrow it down to caffeine over-consumption, since it leads you slowly to this march of death burning the candle at both ends where you drink coffee to compensate for poor sleep and you sleep poorly because of too much caffeine.

#5Also, and this might be obvious, turn off some time before going to bed. I am in the habbit of 'trying one more thing the fix this bug' before bed which makes me sleep simply terrible.
Eating old cheese also helps for me but can make me feel groggy in the morning.

True, failed to mention that I never drink caffeine after 2pm. I never understood how some people can have a coffee in the evening and go to bed just fine.

#7~ My average sleep efficiency (time asleep vs time in bed) according to Apple Watch & Oura is ~85%, meaning to get my 7h30 of sleep to feel rested I will stay more than 10h in bed. That sucks!
85% of 10h is 8.5h :) To get 7.5h with 85% you need ~8.8h in bed.

#8I think the biggest detriment to the quality of sleep is to start trying to improve sleep. It should not be a performance with self monitoring and evaluation.

The everpresent bad advice to get 8-9 or more hours of sleep definitely ruined my sleep experience for years when I'd keep trying and fail to do so.
