I have a few tricks-of-the-trade from back when I was doing construction during the day and bouncing four nights a week.
1. Stay hydrated ~ all body functions work better when hydrated, especially your brain 2. Melatonin or one of the ‘sleep-mixes’ that has melatonin in it 3. Warm … not hot or cold, shower before bed to help relax everything 4. Some form of cookies and milk … the protein from the milk is used for serotonin (which is then turned into melatonin … see melatonin above lol), and the sweets help the proteins cross the blood-brain barrier 5. Make it dark and cold in the room (your body naturally cools off at night before bed) … although people (as you advocate) do like it hot as well 6. No blue-screen 1-2 hours before bed, blue-screen kills your body’s production of melatonin 7. Some form of ‘white-noise’ (fan for me) … it helps get you into REM quicker and keeps you there longer 8. Some form of body meditation as you fall asleep … helps quiet the mind and further relax the body for better rest These are the first ones that come to mind. I’m sure there are others out there. Illegitimi non Carborundum!
