re: Having trouble getting consistent sleep

I like @ 6 hours of sleep. Anything else is just overkill/bonus.

Try working out prior to going to bed, taking a hot shower, then going to bed without a television etc. Generally, your body should appreciate the reset and wing down, and you'll likely sleep well.

I bet you're a fatty. Fat people don't sleep very well. They usually wake them selves up every 20 min because they choke on the fat in their breathing canal.

I slept 2 hours Tuesday morning, 5 hours for Wednesday, and 3.5 last night. Sleep is overrated. Quit being a pussy, and MAGA. Walls don't build themselves

It never made sense to me that some people can sleep 5 hours a night and be content with how they feel all day

It's actually a genetic mutation for some people (me). I wake up at 5 hours no matter what. Anywhere from 3-5 hours of sleep, and I'm functioning at 100%. More or less than, or in between those numbers makes me feel tired

sounds like you have terrible sleep hygiene.
-First off, you cant go to bed at 8 or 830 and expect to sleep until 6 the next morning. Most people are not like that
-make sure you arent drinking caffeine after noon
-before bed have some quiet time where you are reading a book or something under low light. No Tv and no tablet/iphone
-Make yourself stay up until 10 or 1030 every night for the next two weeks and dont get out of bed until your alarm goes off

if that doesnt work, go get a sleep study bro

"Potassium and magnesium are natural muscle relaxants, and bananas are a good source of both. They also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan, which gets converted to 5-HTP in the brain. The 5-HTP in turn is converted to serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) and melatonin."

I fell asleep last night at like 8 or 8:30 and I was awake at 3, exhausted and unable to go back to sleep

If you feel exhausted after 7 hours of sleep you need to get checked out.

I go to bed at 11 and have a little bit of trouble falling asleep and wake up around 3 AM then again at 5 AM. I also have these extremely vivid dreams when I am sleeping.

I've been listening to podcasts every night when I get in bed and it's changed everything

That actually works well.

Dont see why you were downvoted as its true

Most people who have sleep apnea are fatties/skinny fats and many of which are diabetic

---

Have you ever slept in the same room as someone with sleep apnea? They sound like they're taking their last breath everytime they breathe. Then stop breathing for seems like a min then all of a sudden they choke and start breathing again. It's cringeworthy.

I can sleep 8-9 hours if I wanted to, but I feel best the next day getting 6-7. Longer sleep just makes me groggy if that makes sense.
