Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

I've always had major insomnia and since starting Bountycaster it only got worse to a point where a couple weeks ago I had to make it my #1 priority to improve since I was so sleep deprived. What's been working well for me (in order of helpfulness)

- just go to sleep earlier (set a cutoff), always endless work as a founder that can keep you up really late
- not taking long naps to catch up on sleep during the day
- don't eat past 8pm
- more cardio
- write down all things worried about before sleep so it's out of mind
- reduce screen time right before

Brian johnson gets into obsessing about sleep quite a bit.
I’ve adopted some tips that helped: 
Caffeine cutoff at 3
Food cutoff around 8
Lifting heavy (or just doing something with the body to actually be physically tired)
Meditating
No phone in the bedroom!

Yet, founder anxiety is still very real, and i stay sleep deprived. Oscillates between great sleep with my heartrate under 40bpm to waking up every hour with the feeling of having to do something work related

Most of my sleep deprivation comes from this baseline anxiety and from the sense of responsibility i feel 24/7

Let me know if any of you has figured a way to shut that off
