starting maybe...5 years ago?....I've been having #sleep issues. no problem falling asleep (it annoys my wife that I'm asleep within 10s of head-on-pillow). the issue is STAYING asleep.

if I make it to 5am, I'm astonished. I'm usually up by 430am and very often by 330am or even earlier. I only need like 6h/night but I'm getting 5 or less too often

obvs I'm doing all the recommended things already. the issue is if I happen to think of a particularly stressful issue I spiral myself even more awake

on a whim I tried a story audio and fell asleep immediately. so for about 2w I've been wearing "side sleeping ear phones" and playing #SleepWithMe #podcast continuously through the night

it's working like a dream

the only issue is that the ads/music either wakes me up or doesn't put me back to sleep.
so I just sub'd to his "main story only" feed. there's about 1000h of audio there. that's like 7 months of restful sleep but since I'm only actually hearing it if I get up for the bathroom it's effectively infinite

#adhd rumination maybe? or just #over50

I'm finding Sleep With Me podcast dangerously effective. I was skeptical at first because it's a bloke who is constantly talking but damn, listening to his voice immediately makes me drowsy.

Also I love this part of the description:

"[...] progressively gets more boring until you fall to sleep."

I'm so glad my phone knows that when I select the shortcut to close all the apps.. I don't mean the one playing the soothing sleeping background noise🌙🥱
