Reduced sleep audios?

I have my own thoughts about regimented prescriptions - sleep x hours a day, drink y glasses of water, eat x:y:z ratio of carbs, proteins, and fats, etc., as though human bodies are machines that fit into a single rule.

That said, I still personally adhere to some of these because, in our urban ways of life, we are kind of out of tune with our bodies (even a lot of spiritual practices taught are not body-inclusive aka ignore the body), and till a certain level of listening skills develop, better to fake it. I prefer a sense of perceived order within chaos than chaos within chaos haha…

Do you think I should workout right before I sleep so I can be tired after and just fall asleep fast

I heard after you awaken your kundalini you don’t need much sleep

It works for some people like my brother, you can try. Perso, I need calm and peace before I sleep.
Though I almost always stretch to some degree before getting into bed.

So yeah, you can also try to stretch your arms and legs until your body feels numb.
I started doing it after sid. I tried to copy him and it worked

I think the most important thing for me right now is establishing a time where I fall asleep because I had a established time last year and has good sleep everyday

Does not work for me at all! After a workout, I am super energized and pumped up… Takes me at least 2 hours before I can even think of sleeping lol…

May be try sleep meditation?

Almost a decade ago, this used to be very popular for sleep-related issues and I still keep hearing positive feedback about it (used to be a CD back then, now it is a digital download).

Yup, it needs to be done lying down, in corpse posture (shavasana).

Another tip is to turn off blue light, from your computer screen . Reducing the blue light emitting from your screen helps lower the risk of sleep disruption and reduce eye strain.

Same for the phone etc… really anything that is a screen, usually set it up automatically around 6:00PM is a good time.

SUMMARY

Blue light in the evening tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime, which inhibits the production of melatonin and reduces both the quantity and quality of your sleep.
