I used to be that person who said, "I'll rest when I'm dead!". Now I know better. Anyone who says they can survive on limited sleep is losing YEARS off of their life. It's been studied and proven that sleep is the #1 thing that will add years to your life if you can get it right. Below are tips we've pulled from multiple podcasts and research about sleep.
Tips to get more sleep:
- Strive to get at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep each night
- Shut down screens at least one hour before bed
- Use a sleep app to track your sleep - Sleep Tracker, Oura, Whoop, Apple Watch
- Use a meditation app to help calm your brain down at night - BrainTap, Calm, or use one of the Oura Sleep meditations
- Don’t drink caffeine or coffee after 2pm
- Don’t eat sugar after dinner
- Walk for at least 15 minutes after dinner to lower your blood sugar and calm your mind
- Keep your bedroom temperature below 70
- Use lamps after 5pm instead of overhead lights
- Try to keep your sleep times consistent - go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends
- Try Magnesium supplements before bed
- Don’t drink more than 8oz of water within 2 hrs of going to bed to prevent waking up to Pee.
Want to hear it from an expert? Here's Dr. Andrew Huberman's podcast with Dr. Matt Walker on sleep. NOTE - it's so important they did a 6-part series all about sleep.
