Linda Xie pfp

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 😭😭

I didn't know there was a distinction here till very recently: is it specifically falling asleep or waking up in the middle of the night or both? Also like @manansh recommended my gut says that breathwork (see @albiverse) might be the highest leverage thing you can try at this point Fwiw I'm also trying to fix waking up in the middle and not being able to fall sleep again

Curious if you tried meditation. My insomnia is usually caused by having endless thoughts about swaye and meditation (even in bed) helps shut my brain down

Intermittent fasting / time restricted eating (8/16 window) completely changed my life and totally eliminated insomnia for me. Also completely eliminated focus issues.

after writing down those thoughts, do they seem less important? like they bother you less, and you can sleep better?

Have you considered going on a diet? That helps reduce stress and will help with the insomnia

the writing down things has been a huge one for me. the more your head is filled with things you have to remember the less relaxed you are. here at the cabin i do struggle to sleep for some reason. at home I sleep better for some strange reason.

I really like the self imposed sleep time. That’s a great tip. Staying up an extra few hours may ruin tomorrow and that’s not worth it. Stealing this.

"write down all things worried about before sleep so it's out of mind" - gonna try this out, makes a lot of sense. I always struggle to fall asleep because my mind is racing

I have the same issue :( My top tips are: - don’t drink coffee or tea after 4pm - don’t watch TV before bed - don’t look at the phone at least 30 min before bed - ideally early dinner, shower, book
