Justin PotI'm writing about how to get sleeping habits under control. Do any of you have a go-to expert on this topic you can point me to? (Please boost—it's very helpful —and thank you for tolerating a journalist outsourcing his job to the fedi)
Shield Maiden@jhpot As a nurse who used to work nights I had to re-adjust when I retired to a more 'normal' routine. I do some work outside during the day, I read for an hour before trying to sleep, I always go to bed at 11pm and set the alarm to get up at 8.30am. Sometimes I don't sleep well, but I stick to the routine as much as possible, or have ovaltine if I'm still awake at 3am. Mentally I go through every tiny step of making a complex garment or packing for hols to get me off to sleep.
@Judeet88 This is all great advice! Is there any chance you'd be willing to talk with me on the record about it?
@jhpot Sorry, will have to decline as I value my privacy and safety at home. You'll notice I'm not actually in bed yet and it's gone 11pm! Usually it is...
@Judeet88 That's okay! Thanks for chatting with me here.
