      Obligatory sleep hacks from a person who loves sleep:

      • Clean bedsheets
      • No phone in bed
      • Same sleep time every day
      • Same wake time every day
      • Exercise during the day
      • No lights in the room. No LEDs, no street lights
      • White noise

      If you do any one of these your sleep will improve. If it doesn’t, I give you full permission to flame me and my dog.

        I have slept many nights, on average about once a day for many years. In my experience, it’s the routine that has the most effect. I know it’s super difficult to maintain but going to bed and waking up same time everyday is the key.

        This concept is known as “sleep hygiene” if anyone wants to read further.

        Ear plugs have been a life saver for me. I can’t sleep without them now, fortunately they sell them in huge containers so I only have to buy them like every year and half.

            No, I just keep them in a clean spot and they last about a week before they start looking dingy. Then I use a new pair.

            I don’t get a lot of earwax though so someone who’s ears make more will probably have to change them more frequently.
