I see a lot of articles emphasizing why we need better sleep but few on how to get better sleep. As someone who use sleep hygiene and sleep aides/supplements, and still struggles getting better, deep sleep, I would honestly like to see more of the latter.
Caffeine sensitivity varies a lot - just skipping late coffee is good for some, for others, consider quitting caffeine entirely, at least for a while, to see if it makes a difference.
The problem is that no one really knows. There are a tonne of people who simply cannot sleep well no matter what they change
This is my problem. Matt Walkers book did not help for me. The book “Better Sleep Better You” did as it provides concrete strategies to employ. That said, still a vast area that’s understudied for the anxiety ridden insomniacs among us.
I recommend the book “why we sleep”. It helps (helped me) understand some of the fundamentals of sleep and why it matters
How do you measure good sleep to begin with?
