What most affects your sleep?

Question

Hi Product Hunt community!

We’re preparing to launch a new product aimed at improving sleep, and we'd love to understand what specific challenges you face with getting quality rest.

For me the key has been a consistent bedtime, which allows me to have a consistent rise time. Everything else kind of solves itself if you just stick to an arbitrary bedtime. I've worked with a sleep startup in the past, and there are all kinds of awesome things you can do with the metrics… But if I was doing a sleep startup today, I would focus it 100% on behavior change support related to sticking to a consistent bedtime. I think the literature supports this approach too.

Arman · Answer

For me it's always stress. When I control my stress levels, it's easier to get enough rest for me.

On a side note, this is an interesting question, do you mind if I open a poll for it on PollQuester ?

I feel like sometimes it's just more convinient to be awake at night instead of day, so I guess it's just life stopping me from sleeping)

High stress or having too many things on my mind can make it difficult to fall asleep or lead to lighter, interrupted sleep. Relaxation techniques like deep breathing or a short meditation are helpful for winding down.

@bensyverson Thank you, Ben! I totally agree – having a consistent bedtime helps me too. It really sets a solid foundation for all other areas of life and habits.
