How do you manage you sleeping routine?
Hey all,
I have troubles with waking up and feeling rested.
I see dreams like everynight and then wake up exhausted even if I've slept for 8 hours or so.
I've read few articles on it, they say you should go to bed before 10 pm, which is really not possible for my lifestyle and remote team from all over the globe with 5+ timezones mode.
Need help on it. Thank you.

In order to encourage better sleep quality, I regulate my sleep schedule by keeping a regular bedtime and wake-up time, establishing a calming pre-sleep atmosphere, avoiding devices before bed, and adding exercise during the day.

@meli_phil_45 that's the hardest thing for me! thank you for encouraging and sharing your experience, I'll try
Here are a few things that might help:
Limit caffeine intake in the afternoon (it stays in your system for around 8-10 hours).
Try keep a rough sleep schedule, aiming to go to bed at around the same time and wake up around the same time each day.
Create a routine and aim for general "sleep hygiene" (limit screen time before bed, make sure the room is dark, potentially drop the temp in your room by a couple degrees).
Should you get up in the night, try prevent turning any bright lights on (LEDs, lights in your house or your phone etc.) on as it can disrupt your melatonin levels.
They may all work, or none may - everyone is different! I hope you find a solution that works for you. :)
Sounds like your mind is very active at night, which is really not good for sleep. As a Software Engineer, I used to think about the next work day, tasks, algorithm etc before going to bed. This was not good, as my mind could not really rest. You need to slow down before going to be by reading or watching something relaxing. Do not let the job robe you of your health.
My main rule is to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Also, regular exercise works great. It helped me beat my insomnia.
My advice is to avoid sleeping pills. You can check the info about them on the Canadian Pharmacy site. They will help you fall asleep for sure, but they won't solve the problem. Moreover, they can be taken only for a short period of time.
I suggest to you buy a Best Air mattress for everyday use . My mean to say is that you can do your job from your home by sitting on a Best Air mattress for everyday use and it will gives you freely relaxation instead of sitting on chair from 9-5. what you say it is best or not?
I prioritize consistent bedtimes, create a relaxing pre-sleep ritual, and ensure my sleep environment is comfortable and conducive to restful sleep.
