RE: I need to fix my sleep rhythm

in #blog7 years ago

I can relate with your insomnia issues, and I've had a couple of breakthroughs, in case you're interested. In fact, I'm a dream reader, and so I have a bit of expertise in the area. The first thing that helped me is routine–assigning myself a general bedtime and wake time each day (even on weekends). The second thing is to create a trial period to test the routine, and then subtract 15 minutes from the routine each day until a certain "balance" can be felt. It might feel like "rise and shine" attitude, being well-rested. I've read that 7 hours is ideal for males, but some body types favor more, or less. Personally, my ideal is 6.5 hours. I have three young kids, and many passion projects, so I don't always keep the routine going, but a little routine can do a lot of good. I also believe there are visualization techniques (e.g. seeing stars fly by like Star Wars warp speed) that may help, and certain polished stones (e.g. jasper) that can work well. Hope this helps.
