😴 Sleep Habits

@SoulfullyAButterfly

My sleeping can be very different. If it's stressful in my life it can happen that I go to bed too late and then at the next day I feel even worse and exhausted than the day before. But it has been worse so I improved it at least a little bit ^^

@SoulfullyAButterfly My sleep habits are a total mess, honestly speaking. I struggle to go to bed on time and often go to bed between 12:30 to 2:30 am. And I need to wake up quite early too, (6 am if I have school and 8 am if I don't) so it's hard to get enough sleep.

Usually, I can't go to bed early because I procrastinate all day and then feel like I need to do the schoolwork before I go to bed. So I'm trying to work on that and get my work done earlier so that I can sleep, or just forget about the work and to to bed on time. I'm currently aiming for 12 am if I have school the next day and 1 am if I don't.

6-7 hours of sleep a night would be a lot of progress for me if I ever reach there. I don't really want to aim for more than that because I've noticed that if I ever sleep more than that, I always have dreams and I hate them for a variety of reasons.

I go to sleep now at around 5am, and I feel that if I lower the hour I go to sleep at each day then I can have a good sleep schedule, like starting to sleep at 3am then 2am then 12 and so on..

My sleeping habits have not exactly been great lately, but could be worse.

Tips for improving sleep quality would be:

• Have a sleep schedule that is the same for every day.
• Turn off electronics at least 1 hour prior to going to bed.
• Do some meditation to fall asleep.
• Listen to calming sounds.
• Practice deep breaths and relax.
• Reflect on the day that has passed.
• Don't eat too close to bedtime.

Not great lately but working on establishing more of a routine and winding down earlier.

I've struggled to fall asleep and stay asleep my whole life, literally since I've been a baby. Something that has improved my sleep quality a bit is using soft in-ear headphones or earplugs as well as a sleep mask to block out external disturbances.
