#2I thought I always felt tired. Until I got a sleep mask, ear plugs, stopped eating 4 hours before bed, slept in a cold room, and went to bed at the same time every night. I found my body just adjusted itself back to its natural rhythm. Curious how many of the contestants surveyed did exactly this and still had trouble with their sleep.
Edit: diet and general lifestyle changes (such as going to the gym and being outside) also helped.

#3For me it was sleep apnea. It was undiagnosed and I have lived most of my life basically exhausted.
Once I was diagnosed, thanks to a CPAP recall/shortage during the pandemic I couldn’t get a CPAP machine so used a custom fit oral appliance which took a few days to get used to, but once I did I woke up one day, having done nothing very different from any other day, feeling fresher than I can ever remember feeling.
It was fascinating to realize that I had basically lived my entire adult life of over 2 decades in a half asleep stupor.

#4My sleep improved once I started measuring using a whoop strap.
Within a few days of wearing the strap, it was clear to me that my 8 hours were ineffective 8 hours. I was accumulating significant debt every day and when I paid it off over the weekend, I felt energized again.
I recognized that every day is different and needed to change my environment, and consistency accordingly. Sleep is now a non-negotiable thing in my life.

#8As we age slow-wave sleep degrades. This is the stage of glymphatic clearing the article describes.
This decrease in slow-wave sleep begins in our late 30s and is linked to Alzheimer's, Diabetes, weakened immune function and more.
We've been working on this for a few years through auditory stimulation during sleep. Published peer reviewed research using our stimulation protocol is at https://soundmind.co/research
