Sleep is one of the most important investment in my opinion. It can single-handedly improve your productivity and mood by 10 fold.
Here are some key points I found and applied researching multiple books and videos by YouTubers such as Hamza, Ali Abdaal, Alex Hormozi, etc
- Get enough sunlight: at least 3 min of direct sunlight or 15 min of indirect sunlight before 8am. I aim for 30 min after sunrise. Non-negotiable.
(As a bonus you can try getting a few minutes of sunlight 30 min before sunset as well but is not as important as morning Sun Light)
Don't look directly at the sun!
This practice resets your circadian rhythm.
- Lower your heart rate before sleeping. You can try sleep meditation. I like using the free app Medito occasionally when I have too much on my mind.
- Have an ultra-comfortable mattress and a bunch pillows to sleep. Try to sleep in pitch black darkness if possible (cut out all light you can). Try to sleep in a quite environment. To block out sound, you can try putting one ear against the pillow and one arm on top of the other ear.
Use white noise sounds if the environment is noisy to drown the noise. Sleep in a cool environment. (These are great first investments in yourself when you start making money).
- Ensure you are breathing well every night. Breath threw your nose. Breathing through your mouth is unhealthy and is related to many health problems. You can use a piece of micro pore tape to shut your month during sleep (a small piece just a small pressure will keep your month shut)
- Cut caffeine from your diet (atleast do not drink any caffeine after 0230pm)
- avoid drinking water one hour before sleeping (don't sleep thirsty though make sure to limit to a few sips), no screens two hours before sleeping, and try to eat dinner before three hours to sleeping.
- Taking a poop before sleeping can help.
- Avoid having any work-related items in your bedroom i.e. PC, phone, papers, etc.
- Resistance training in the morning to tire your body once night time arrives and kegel exercises to strengthen your bladder can help you get a better night's sleep.
- Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep every night, and try to get into bed an hour before your desired sleep time. Example: if you want to sleep at 10pm daily get into bed between 0900pm-0930pm.
Don't listen to people saying to sacrifice your sleep.
Sleeping latest by 11pm non-negotiable.
- Meditate daily with the free app Medito for maximum relaxation. Will help shutdown your impulses, unnecessary thoughts and give you more control of your mind.
These are tips I found helpful. What do you guys think about them? Do y'all have any tips of your own? Do you disagree with any of my tips? If so, why?
Note: 20% of these tips make 80% of the difference.
