    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.

      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.

      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.

        There are alarm apps that can be set up to require taking a picture of a specific thing to turn the alarm off. I used one in college, where I had to take a picture of my toilet. Ten years later I still wake up around 6am every day with no alarm.
