I’ve been reading about that health guy Bryan Johnson, and his advice is that you should consider yourself a professional sleeper above everything else. Everything should be scheduled around your sleep.

I’ve been doing this, along with giving up caffeine, and I feel fantastic. I’m asleep by 830 and wake up naturally at 430-5. So I get a solid 2+ hours of kid free time.

It really surprised me how much better I sleep without caffeine. I don’t drink a ton, so I thought it wasn’t having that much impact, but my insomnia is completely gone and I sleep much deeper with much more vivid dreams.

yep

Same but then I also want to stay up until midnight.... it's a struggle. Those kid free hours to do whatever I want are precious.

Sadly I can no longer nap. I could nap in my twenties and while pregnant with no worries. In my 50's I can't.

Naps are better. They are amazing.

The body and brain literally repair itself when you sleep - that is why. It is quite amazing. The body works while you are sleeping both on the brain and body.

Because sleep LITERALLY ferries away toxins from your brain and body.

I feel like some nights I never fall into a deep sleep
