#22As a fairly serious sufferer of sleep apnea, this will definitely be a good read

#23I just looked at the DSPS section since that is my problem. The "I have mathematically proven this to work unless it is your fault" thing is really obnoxious. I've even tried his ultimate "farmer's lifestyle" suggestion that worked for about a year and then stopped working. Similarly, I've done things like bike around all day then relax without much light in the evening (all after getting less sleep than usual the pr…
I've had similar problems. I think it's an anxiety thing. Ever tried mindfulness meditation? Basically you just sit for 20 to 40 minutes and focus on your breathing. It's been working well for me. I would also look into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy if I were you.

Anxiety used to be more of an issue for me, but hasn't been most days for years. I have found meditation very helpful in getting to that point. I could still do it more, but in terms of sleep I think it has helped as much as it can.
The frustrating thing is that there are a few things (that I can't intentionally do for any length of time) that seem to immediately cause me to feel much more rested after sleeping (such as being sick; I still feel tired in a way from being sick, but I actually feel rested and overall have much more energy than usual). I've had a shifting sleep schedule for a couple of decades now and my body has responded in different ways along the way.

#28Clearly an ad. Are you all blind? Click on the domain name to see the history of postings.
The submitter had a moderately successful post from this domain a couple days ago and probably thought people might find a follow-up interesting. That's not an ad.
HN gets spam; it looks nothing like this.

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Cannabis works just fine... you will sleep like a baby.
If only it didn't smell so bad :(. I don't think I could do it even for a short trial even in edibles.
if you get a chance to go somewhere where there is a variety, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn the variety of smells is valuable information. Some, smell bad to you, others, may smell okay or even fantastic. seriously, compare its smells and flavors to that of coffee.

#30Just as a matter context, Piotr Wozniak is the author of SuperMemo, the first significant spaced repetition software (SRS) application. The SuperMemo2 (usually referred to as SM2), devised by Piotr, is used in most SRS software including Anki (arguably the most popular free software SRS app). My understanding is that Piotr obtained a PhD for his work on these algorithms. SuperMemo was a commercial enterprise, but I seem to remember there was some falling out with the business side of things and Piotr left (though I haven't really followed supermemo for a decade and things may have changed).
Piotr has some interesting ideas. His writings tend to be very much like this article -- bury you in details, some of which you wonder about the relevance. He is a fairly intuitive in his approach and is very much convinced about the conclusions he reaches. He always has a large amount of data to support his conclusions, but a criticism I've had in the past is that the data is not always free of bias.
I only mention this as there was some suggestion that the submission was a disguised ad. Even though I don't agree with everything that Piotr writes, one can't deny that his ideas have helped a lot of people. He has always been very generous with his ideas and his data. His business partner was not quite so generous and I believe this was one of the reasons for the fallout. Whatever you think about the content of this article, my personal feeling is that you can be sure that it was written with the intent of helping people better themselves and no other motives.
