I haven't slept all the way through the night without waking up in years. I run a fan at night which might be making the room cold, but the Catch-22 of it is that if I don't run the fan, I inevitably wake up because I'm used to it. I tried melatonin for a while but it only did so much. I need to be more disciplined with putting devices away before bedtime, though. Would love if anybody has some surefire tips for getting better quality sleep, cause I don't think I'm getting enough of it lol.
Oof.
My adaptations:
I have 4 pillows on my king size bed, two are the same and two are different from each other and from the first two. Allows for a different pillow experience.
I don't sit and watch/read in bed whether it's on my phone, on a TV, or in book form. The bedroom is for bedroom things, not reading or watching TV. Helps with base expectations of sleep zones.
Some people may do well with a top sheet and thin blanket. I usually prefer just the thin blanket or two with no top sheet because I run hotter and I had a partner who was incapable (her words) of not getting twisted up on the sheets and comforter.
When I wake in the night (rarely), I do a quick think about whether I need water, to pee, or to adjust something in the bed. I do that quickly and without phone or flipping many lights on. Back to bed ASAP and back to sleeping.
I also rarely drink coffee and I never have it first thing in the morning. Gaining a dependency on caffeine gets people through something here and now, but it makes it hard to do anything else (headaches, worse sleep etc as withdrawal happens).
I don't smoke pot and if I did, I would stop smoking it several hours before bed. Same deal as caffeine - it becomes hard to do anything other and eventually hinders more than it helps.
The last thing is that I have a dog who loves to snuggle for a few minutes as we settle into bed and as we wake in the morning. A small ritual genuinely makes the days and nights better for both of us.
When I have a partner, to some degree, I also do the snuggle thing with them. -

Wow - I got a 40 with a 37 from the thread start. This quiz has been updated and it's still accurate. -

You should buy your own router. It pays for itself inside a year. -

Have you tried finishing foods with Maldon's sea salt or a fleur de sel? Or even a slice of fresh bread with some olive oil, roasted garlic, and Maldon's or fleur de sel sprinkled on. That's worth it.
I use the Maldon's flakes all the time!
Best usage of it is in these salted chocolate chunk shortbread cookies from Alison Roman: https://www.alisoner...hunk-shortbread
