How to deal with insomnia loop - reGame - Nov 18, 2020
My nights look like this: 8h sleep, 4h sleep, 8h, 4h.. repeat
as you would guess i feel very good after nights where i slept 8h and i feel not so good after nights where i slept 4h
im sure its caused by coffee however both these days i drink equal, and not so big amount of it. im trying to decrease it but to be honest i need coffee for productivity
anyone knows how to even it out? eg 7h sleep every day?
i tried to suplement:
- vit c
- vit k
- vit d
sodium
potassium
i also consume before night:
-mg to relax body
- relax teas
-antihistamine teas
- theanine (testing it out, its something tea has, however i have no idea if it helps or not)
- melotonin (also testing it out)
so far these things have influenced my sleep positively but they dont solve the issue
anyone has an idea?

Turning your phone off helps me and that’s really all I need sometimes. Turn it off, 2 hours before. Read a book or listen to a podcast.

Just like Aq said, it's best you turn off your phone or intentionally try to limit your usage to your device if you want to fix your sleeping habits, I think imo, some people can't sleep mainly because of their mindset, sometimes it's best to just relax, and take it easy, being on edge and feeling like you need to take something in order to sleep can probably be counter productive.
Good luck OP, and this isn't a professional advice.

Just cut phone time way before bed, relaxing music helps a lot, a hot shower makes me sleepy also. Don’t wear tight restrictive clothing and keep a cool temperature in your room. People sleep better in slightly colder rooms, you can still use blankets but I find I sleep way better when it’s a little chilly.
