1. Cut off caffeine earlier in the day
As you know, I talk about black coffee a lot
I love it during a fast.
However, coffee/energy drinks/etc anytime past 12-2pm, especially if you're sensitive to caffeine...
May disrupt your sleep that night.
Avoid later in the day.

2. No screens an hour before bed
The blue light emitted by these screens/devices has been proven to disrupt your sleeping patterns

3. Get some blue light blocking glasses
These glasses help stop the toxic blue light that disrupts your sleep mentioned above
However, no screens 1 hour before bed still applies, regardless of the blue light blocking glasses
Rather, use them during the day as much as you can

5. Reading before bed
Rather than using screens, like your phone, that disrupt sleep
Read a good book.
This helps with relaxation, imagination and reduced blue light
Plus, reading is like training in the gym... but for your brain!
Exercise it regularly

6. White noise like a fan or background sounds
Personally, this is #1 on my list.
I can't sleep in dead silence, so I have a fan going every night
It's not always pointed at me, but I ALWAYS have it on for noise.
Surprisingly helps a ton

7. Take magnesium & melatonin before bed
Taking these two about 30-60 mins prior to bed is my "secret" formula for a deep, well rested sleep.
Melatonin is the hormone that regulates sleep
Magnesium increases GABA, which promotes relaxation
An underrated life hack
