A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

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?

Most valuable exercise from this for my insomnia so far is "worry journaling"

Before bed scheduling 15 min to write all the things you're worried about or trying to think through. This helps reduce racing thoughts when trying to sleep

Only thing that has actually helped me in a really long time

I do this too. Very helpful.

Another one for me is not working too late or opening work context (Warpcast) before bed. I try to write this list earlier if possible.

Stopped using it but this was the biggest takeaway

Hi linda
Has this still been effective for you even till now?

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🤍

Blocking Warpcast app after 11am also works equally well.

Interesting, I tried many things, 
Sometimes I use that pre sleeping time to "think" on paper about current projects: sketching, design, UX, architecture, and all that things that can be done on a paper.

I know that should skip working but having no way to skip thoughts at least I can be productive or meditate about any other thing. the goal is to drain all the brain energy.

cc @jpfraneto.eth , I guess Anky also helps with that?

I should give it a try. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep, but it's a good idea

Do you want to be friends with me….?

I used this app when I first started getting bouts of this. More around anxiety before sleep than insomnia itself.

I love this. I also really like Calm Sleep Stories. They mess with the audio subtly and I’ve never heard the end of my favorite story, “Blue Gold” by Stephen Fry.

I've found that helps me a lot too

something might seem huge in my head, but seeing it written out and taking up a relatively small amount of space on paper makes it seem much more manageable

I'm going to try it tonight and if it works, I'll thank you so much 10$degen

That’s interesting. Been also lately dealing with anxious mind, unable to let go and sleep. Will check it out and try

"Worry journaling has helped me sleep better. Thanks for sharing your tip!"

It would be wonderful to not have to think about anything else. This may be something I would recommend to all kinds of people, not just insomniacs.
