Sure.
1) All the basic sleep hygiene stuff, but just do what you can. My bedroom isn't blackout (long story), doesn't matter.
2)
@MantaSleep - goes everywhere with me, SO so good. Also a pair of ear plugs, but I don't use them unless there's noise.
3) It's MORE about mental management - learning to deal with a racing mind, what to do when you wake up etc. Breathwork for sleep and yoga nidra are amazing things to learn, hat tip to
@othership_us app &
@InsightTimer.
(Jennifer Piercey's sleep course on Insight Timer is incredible).
@brainfmapp has great sleep music for planes etc, on which noise cancelling headphones are a must.
4) Hail mary option... when nothing else works: I fire up Audible, set a 30 min time out, put one headphone in on barely audible volume, and dial up Rockefeller's autobiography at 0.7x speed.
It is incredibly long and boring. I never last more than a few minutes.
I've been 'listening" for 3 years, and am still on Chapter 2 🤣
