Any suggestions on how to stay asleep? I fall asleep very fast but wake up super early and don’t get enough rest because of that. Anyone successfully fixed something like this? Thanks for sharing!

For me I have a rule I don’t look at the time. I turn the alarm clock away and don’t check my phone when I wake up in the middle of the night. The clock gives me anxiety.

Also if you’re waking up often for the bathroom try limiting your fluids to 2.5 hours before bed. If you wake up regardless try to minimize movement, the more you move the more you body physically wakes up.

There are a lot of good breathing techniques that promote sleep, you can try those as well to calm your mind.

I agree that knowing the time makes me anxious!

Depends why you are waking up. Thoughts for you:
1. Blackout curtains so light doesn’t wake you up
2. More exercise during day
3. Lower temperature a little in room before you sleep
4. White noise on your phone

Thanks! I already do 1 & 2. Will look into 3.

I haven’t tried 4 exactly but have tried meditation, headspace or ASMR. They kind of help me fall asleep but not stay asleep. Will see if white noise makes a difference...

Re: Why I’m waking up, not sure exactly. Sometimes I am hungry, or thirsty, or need to use restroom, sometimes no particular reason at all...

Great post. I have the exact same issue. I wake up after 3 or 4 hours and I’m up. I’m exhausted all day. My doctor checked my blood and everything is normal, so he told me to just relax and go back to sleep.

I didn’t find his advice particularly actionable

Stop worrying about sleep is the best way to sleep better. Just read an article on this, but forget where

I have the same issue - lots of research on this. Go to a sleep doc, read why we sleep. Some things that work for me apart from 1 and 2:
- chamomile tea in evening
Set bed time
No caffeine after 1 pm
Sleeping earlier
Meditation

Still not perfect :)

On the Calm app, there's a guided meditation specifically for returning back to sleep after waking up. I always fall back to sleep for a few more hours.

It could be anxiety that keeps you awake. See a doctor to rule that out.

CBD. Seriously, it helps with maintaining deep sleep. 100 milligrams 1 hour before bed

As a former sleep technology I would recommend the best course of action is to ask your doctor to order you a sleep study to rule out known sleep disorders.

Also if you’re ~1 hour below your sleep target don’t overthink it

Same issue. Ended up going on 25 mg Trazadone before bed to stay asleep

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
