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

How do you resist the long naps? I'm in a similar situation, my sleep schedule is so messed up so I just get up and start working when I can't sleep 😭😭

You are much stronger than I am, unfortunately I fool myself into thinking I'm only going to rest my eyes for a bit, then just knock out 😭☠️ the worse part is that I believe that I won't fall asleep every time ☠️😴😴

I tell myself that if I take this long nap then I am just screwing myself over later so I force myself to stay up (no caffeine for me). Sometimes I just have to sacrifice one day to keep up my schedule

Yes to all the above!! 

i've had insomnia for a few years - much less now I haven't had any in 2 months! it was the worst when i was deeply burnt out in 2021. but the positive end is that it was a huge motivator for me to explore new practices

HIGHLY recommend doing yoga nidra (Huberman likes to call it NSDR) whenever you struggle falling asleep, or as a post-lunch replacement to a nap. Its a powerful way to relax deeply and recuperate and therefore knowing you can do it alleviates the pressure that goes with not falling asleep. 

Over time you get better and better at relaxing and leaning into parasympathetic mode. Its been a big contributor to rebalancing my nervous system.

More recently Buteyko breathing has really made a difference as well for me.

Keep going and take care Linda!
