i want to nail the perfect sleep routine for when i start training again in november here is what im thinking so far → comfy bedding / pillows (any excuse to buy fresh bedding lol) → dark room/eye mask + ear plugs → magnesium before bed → no phone 1 hour before sleeping → electronics out of the room is there any other suggestions/findings you recommend?

Have water nearby to drink; sleeping can be dehydrating! If you want a hard reset on your sleep cycle, try fasting for I think 16-18 hours and have your meal be breakfast (hence break fast). May need to double check this online, I forgot the exact amort of hours. Aim to sleep/wake around the same time daily. Use very dim lights during night when possible. while classic warm/white lights may get dim, see if you can get an LED light that can display dim red light. I think something with its position in the color spectrum is what makes it perceivably darkest. White noise can help if you’re in a noisy / populated area (at least if the ear plugs don’t work out). Journaling / brain dumping before bed usually helps me if I feel my mind racing or just very excited about something. — I’ve done many of these on and off and most help, hardest part is sticking to it. What helped me the most with consistency was 1) moving in with my wife who prevented my degen hours and 2) my toddler haha
