I sleep like 5 hours every night and its fucking up my recovery and making me feel like shit. I've tried taking melatonin and magnesium, not using my phone an hour before I sleep, and eating as healthy as I can ( meat based diet) . I go to bed around 10 every night and sleep around 12 -1 am just to wakeup at like 6 am. The only thing that does make me sleepy is weed but I know it disrupts rem sleep so its pointless anyways - does anyone know how to fix this ??
Okey so this is ehat doctor told me that helps fix sleep
First of all go to sleep and wake up at a consistent time it doesn’t matter if you sleep 6 or 10 hours just sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time
When you wake up dont hit the snooze button because you are just gonna distrib sleep cycles making you feel more lethargic
Dont sit or lay in your bed during the day use your bed only for sleeping or sex
DONT 6 hours before bed - eat heavy, carby, oily meals, drink coffee or green tea, smoke, drink alcohol, workout
A hour before sleep dont look at your devices maybe read a book or something
Make sure your slepeing environment is comfortable studies show a cooler sleeping environment helps sleep so around 10-15c, sleep in a dark room close your curtains or put on a eyemask
you xan drink chamomile tea before bed because it helps you relax
Dont rely on melatonin/sleeping pills if you take big doses for a long time your body might start creating less melatonin itself or stop completely
Its ok to take it once in a while but dont rely on it
hope this helped!!
