So last night I went to bed at 12:15 and got up at 6:00am, giving me a sleep window of 5:45. I was awake for a lot of the night though so I need to reduce this window to 5 hours I think. I could do 12:15 to 5:15. It’s hard to stay up much later than 12:15. I feel tired but good today- I’m in a good mood, and for me, I’m just the usual amount of tired- which is better than when I have a bad night’s sleep (by my standards). Some new ideas I’ve had- start eating sleep promoting foods in addition to supplements (food always trumps supplements). It’s important to note, that in studies, it has taken up to a month for foods to improve sleep. So, without further ado, I reveal my latest pre-bed meal about 1-2 hours before bed: one kiwi fruit, one glass of tart cherry juice, one handful of almonds and one whole-wheat cracker with nut butter. This will boost my levels of serotonin, tryptophan, magnesium, and melatonin- all important factors in sleep. Kiwi fruits boost serotonin and tryptophan, cherry juice boosts melatonin, almonds boost melatonin and magnesium, and whole-wheat crackers boost serotonin and tryptophan. I’m setting myself up for success here.
