Need realistic tips for founder & single parent for getting enough sleep. Problem is falling asleep

I normally sleep 6ish hours, the past 5 days around 5, this night 4.5. For sure gonna try to take a nap.

I’ll endorse sunlight within 60 min of waking up if possible

Biggest thing for me has always been exercise leading to being physically tired leading to sleep. 

Even if it’s 10 burpees every 15 minutes for the 3 hours before bed can help a lot

Also hot shower right before bed to trick body into sleep cooldown

It’s so hot here the last thing I want is a hot shower

Sleep was better when the kids had school. I walk the youngest so I didn’t even have to think about it.

No I think it was a combi of things:
- less active bcoz of WFH & kids not in school
- workload
- strict body clock: I'm awake at 6:30 no matter what
- the idea that parents go to bed after their kids

This night was better. I did
- morning run
- read before bed
- if wake up: podcast
- kids were quiet when I went to bed

So its not that you can't 'fall' asleep, its that the kids are not going to bed and thus you're not getting sleep? so is it actually tips for getting kids to sleep vs yourself?

Yeah sorry not convinced. It’s cold showers for me until October

So my trick for hot environment is to do the hot shower to get your body heat up but then switch it to cold at the end to leave the shower actually cool - does the same warming and cooling mechanic
