Getting to and going back to sleep at night.
I use the Calm app. I’m sure that any similar app would work too. My routine is, first of all, try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, including weekends. I read for awhile about 1/2 hour, then put on my Calm. I pick a good story (I usually listen to the same one over and over until I finally reach the end) and I am usually asleep within a matter of minutes. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I usually go to the restroom, maybe look at my phone for a very short period of time and then put the Calm back on. I usually am back to sleep within a few minutes. I normally don’t wake up again until my am wake time, about 6 or 7 am. I go to sleep about 11:30 or so.
I have hearing aids, so I can play my Calm through my hearing aids. I usually only use one so that I can sleep comfortably on the side without my aid. When I have to get up in the middle of the night, I swap out my aids so I have a fully re-charged aid when I’m up in the a.m.
I imagine that, if you don’t have a hearing aid, you could use the ear pods from Apple or whomever.
I also have sleep apnea and use the Sleep Apnea machine. It works wonders! The new smaller masks and absolutely noiseless machines make it very usable.
Anyway, that’s my routine. I normally have between 6.5 and 7.5 hours of good solid sleep, as measured by my iPhone “fitness” app, which also provides me with great insight into my sleep for the night. Anyway, that’s my routine. Please let me know if you try it and how it works out for you!
