Before going to bed, I turn off all lights ( 30 minutes before) then I always look at the sky, and the trees and try to feel nature. It relaxes my mind and body. It's a stupendous feeling.

Past two years ...this has been my schedule: 8:30 pm in bed [if I'm sleep or not]; 4:00am alarm, 4:15 am get up, 5:10am gym, 6:10 am prayer/meditation... this has made a big difference in my life.🙏

I made a habit of going to sleep at 9 p.m. and I wake up at 5 a.m. Sometimes when I have r.e.m. sleep I usually wake up a couple of minutes before the alarm. When I dream, then I know I had r.e.m. sleep which is that deep sleep that we all need. If you dream during sleep, you have r.e.m., you have quality sleep. 1. I stop staying on any electronic device which emits blue light, 90 minutes before bed. I put some relaxing soothing music or read a book (with actual paper pages). 2. I take a shower before bed time, which helps, as you said. A very good amount of information can be found in this book I started reading -
Sleep Smarter: 21 Essential Strategies to Sleep Your Way to a Better Body, Better Health, and Bigger Success -
Book by Shawn Stevenson.
Very useful info in this video aswell. Thank you Jim for all that you teach us. Love your videos. They are very insightful and to the point, with great tips. Many blessings!

I used to have horrible fatigue and brain fog, and the biggest game changer for me was making myself wake up at sun rise and get outside immediately to get sunlight first thing in the a.m. for 15-20 min. Before then I had tried all kinds of bedtime rituals, but for some reason starting my day with sunlight is what finally helped reset my brain to sleep better at night. Thanks for the great tips!

I initially sufferred from insomnia (maintenance insomnia) and it has hindered my learning, as I would get brain fog and I felt like I cannot process any information, however, after reading Jim's book Limitless and doing all the little exercises at the end of each chapter my sleep has improved, the rate at which I learn new things, my focus, memory, and it improved my life overall. Jim has really helped me improve my life for the better and that is much appreciated. Thanks Jim!!!

This works for me and I love to share it to you all. I always pray before I sleep. If you don't believe in God, to the universe, or to someone higher than you. It helps me ease my anxiety knowing that there's someone higher than me who loves me so much. I always talk to God before bed, sharing my day and telling Him what's on my mind.

listening to rain sounds in youtube helps me get relax, calm and sleep faster

Some things are worth more than money.. i always have a bottle of water beside my bed..Good advise, thanks a lot....

I struggled sleeping and usually only got 5-6 hours of sleep. I watched and implemented the tips from this video, and I slept almost 8 hours last night. Wow! They are all natural and practical methods too. Thanks.

[emilyduvall]

The podcast Nothing Much Happens has helped me SO much with sleep because it’s calming and soothing and it keeps my mind from wandering off into anxious thoughts or just thinking too much.

[bapsymcdowall]

I sleep about 7 hours, my younger days I did have problem with my sleep..These videos makes a huge difference...Thanks very much

I take epsom salt baths 5 times per week, I cut out caffeine by noon, and either practice classical guitar or piano instead of watching tv at night. It's relaxing and works my creative brain a little before bed, it tires me out. Low lights help and I often play summer cricket back ground noise to slow my thoughts, or listen to a fiction audio book and set the sleep timer. That keeps my brain from spinning and thinking.

[bryansmant]

Bed at 730, sleep at 8, up at 4, pretty much every day, other than special occasions, like going out with friends or such.

I live in a rural area so it's generally quiet, other than crickets, and dark. No street lights, and neighbors are 100+ yards away with trees blocking them.

I do slightly break the device rule. I have to have a phone nearby for work, and I do my Journaling, planning, and other things electronically. Plus my phone controls many functions in the house, like lights, alarm, temp, and more. I do use it in dark mode though with the screen as dim as possible.

Lastly, Daniel Amen laid out a very useful self hypnosis process in one of his books that I have been using every night for several months to help get to sleep quickly. I think it's from Change your Brain, Change your Life.
