    No caffeine or stimulants after noon. A considerable percentage shouldn’t have it after 10 am frankly.

    Try this: 1 week of no caffeine and no chocolate At least 20 minutes of exercise - can be split upper day Finish eating dinner and snacks by 7pm No gaming or stimulating entertainment 30-60 minutes before bed. Manage noise, light and other triggers.

    Smart watches or similar are good for watching your sleep quality.

        Because they drink caffeine all day, snack all night, and browse on their phone for 2 hours in bed every day

        Because it puts some responsibility back on the individual and makes it harder for people to blame “modern society” or capitalism or something for their problems.

        I imagine because it’s trite and largely debunked pseudoscience from that weirdly Puritanical natural health ideology.

        Some people can’t regulate insulin, some people can’t digest lactose, some people have neurological structures that inhibit motivation, some people have gastric complexities that cause pain and discomfort with bowel movements, some people are prone to migraines… And yes some people have genuine conditions that affect their sleep which requires medical intervention.

        The childish notion that medication is bad and people who use it simply aren’t taking responsibility for their lives is not only stupid it’s hurtful and dangerous.

        Stop trying to bully people out of getting the help they need just because you personally don’t need it.

          I don’t think the comment to which I replied denied that some people have medical problems preventing sound sleep. As a matter of fact, I am someone who deals with chronic insomnia, and wouldn’t tell someone suffering therefrom it’s in their head.

          Nor does the comment I replied to suggest people shouldn’t take their medications for various physiological or psychological ailments. It seems to just be a post of common sense tips to the average person without complicating medical conditions and for whom these tips would make some difference.

          Not everything failing to explicitly carve out exceptions for every single minority case is an attack on them!
