    How to sleep:

    Step 1. No phone/TV/screens in the bedroom
    Step 2. No screens 30 min before going to bed
    Step 3. Go to bed at the same time each night
    Step 4. Set yourself up to actually get enough sleep

    Try this for 6 weeks and then if you seriously still cant sleep discuss with a doctor.

      You’re missing the only one that actually works for me. Get up at roughly the same time every morning. I won’t do it, but I should.

      It seems obvious but also: don’t drink anything with caffeine before bed and don’t eat a good couple of hours before sleep too.

      I’ve had many friends who’d have a tea before going to sleep to ‘calm’ them without realising most have quite a lot still. Or guzzling down a soda too.

    American here.

    I take delta 9 gummies every night. I ran out last month for a few days, I couldn’t fall asleep. Even with, I wouldn’t say it’s good sleep either.

      Drugging you brain isn’t good sleep. Sleep is the time for a brain to clean up. Try something like meditation.

    We are addicted to coffee. But not good coffee. Shitty Starbucks or Peet’s coffee. Only a few of us truly live and drink small shop ethically sourced but we know that’s for rich folks!

      I really don’t understand people who get coffee shop coffee every day. That’s so expensive. Just make it at home.

        A simple cup of filter coffee is easy enough to make at home with cheap equipment, sure, but espresso/milk drinks are a different story, and some people prefer milk drinks to filter coffee. A decent home espresso machine that can also steam milk is gonna run you around $150 at the low end. Some people don’t have that much laying around at once, but can afford the $3 cappuccino a couple times a week.

    To be fair, my (European) classmate (European) is 17 and needs melatonin to sleep and coffee to wake up, otherwise he’s an even less functioning member of society than both of us normally.
