I've had severe insomnia since I was a kid and have tried so many things to address it

My friend Aurora (who btw recruited me at Coinbase so I owe her a lot :P) mentioned Stellar Sleep and I'm going to give it a shot. Anyone have success with this?

Physical Therapy

Hi Linda @linda 

I'm a physical therapist, and I understand how challenging insomnia can be. I’ve put together a few things I believe might help you🤎

- Deep Breathing
Practice diaphragmatic breathing…inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth.

-Yoga Nidra.
 I made a research on this for you and decided to add it to all I’ll recommend for you. This guided meditation helps relax your body and mind, preparing you for sleep.

-Gentle Stretching.
Focus on stretching your neck, shoulders, and back to release tension. 

-Meditation.
Spend a few minutes focusing on your breath and letting go of intrusive thoughts before you go to bed

I haven’t tried the Stellar sleep app before but while i was a PT student, I used to have difficulty sleeping and made use of the “Tide” app. They had a few meditation and breathing helps as well as WHITE NOISES which are very helpful, I’ll admit.

You can try these and hopefully things get better
I wish you luck🤍

I've had sleep issues since childhood and I've tried everything. The only things that have worked is watching Bob Ross with the screen dimmed and Snoozy gummies that @keccers.eth shared a few months ago. Those made a HUGE difference when no other meds or gummies worked. I'll check out this app. Thank you! 1000 $degen

Awaiting for the review! 
Best of luck! Insomnia is the worst.

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

I love it! I prioritize sleep because of it and have improved some sleep habits but unfortunately still have severe insomnia

re: sleep — @jing recommended I read “why we sleep” and it changed my life

Same problem. Will try as well. A regular sleep schedule, intense exercise and magnesium helps but sometimes nothing helps.

Magnesium and Taurine if you haven’t tried

Don't know much about Stellar but paid $1.9K for a sleep program to make the sleep better and it was super helpful. Happy to share some learnings!

I had sleep issues too. Start with reducing screen time. Sometimes you just have to pick, health, family or more work. It’s tough though.

Best of luck to you. I use insight timer. It may be similar and it has helped me turn off the chatter in my brain so my exhausted body can go to sleep.
