IB hours have ruined my sleep, please help
I have never struggled with going to bed before in my life, but after my years as an analyst, I find it very difficult to sleep even when I finish work early.
Can you share some tips that worked for you? I am conscious of my problem, I hate myself for not being able to deal with it.
Exercise 30 mins before bed, hot shower, works everytime
I definitely would not exercise a mere 30 minutes before bed. 1.5 hours before at the minimum
This is the answer if you don’t want develop a drug dependency. Doesn’t have to be strenuous but do 4 sets of 25 push ups and squats with 30 seconds in between each set. You’ll slightly increased the heart rate and naturally lull to sleep after the shower.should take like 10 mins
Melatonin
Ambien
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride
Discovered it while in school, worked like a charm for someone with chronical sleeping disorders
Pro: pass out easily
Con: hard to wake up
Chloroform had similar effects. Pass out easy, difficult to wake up.
Jk just in case OP tries.
What’s your role now? It sounds like something psychologically is going on. I’d also be curious how far out of IB you are. My advice would be make sure you are exercising, don’t have caffeine after 4pm, and consider meditating. By meditating really I just mean sit still for 15 minutes a day and close your eyes. You don’t need to focus on breathing or anything just sit and let your mind wander.
You are spot on. Indeed, something has been going on.
Thank you
Highly recommend reading "Why We Sleep" - fascinating read that will change your mindset towards the importance of sleep (also provides actionable tips closer to the end of the book). TLDR; For something that we should spend 8 hours every day doing, we should really pay a lot more attention to how we sleep.
That's great advice, thank you
This is another reason why I plan on switching from coverage to DCM
Take magnesium (pills/gummies/whatever) 30 min before bed. Studies show it helps your body calm down.
Not trying to be a wiseass but jerk off (assuming you're a male). Seriously, natural human reaction is to sleep afterwards.
