You know you're going to really learn and retain any kind of information when somebody explains you as patiently and practically as this guy. He's better than my teachers.

I’m najibah from class 4DSF14, Kolej Matrikulasi Pahang Malaysia. It’s so nice to know that hardly falling asleep is normal.. I will try these tips in the future and highly wish it will work. I’m a student, and I need lots of energy which can only be gained from a nice and deep slumber. Thanks for the tips😊

This guy is so excited about sleeping.
I wish everyone was that excited in his job, surely the world would be better.

Another tip that really helps me: When lying in bed, think about what you are grateful for. Sounds strange, but it actually works.

Tips 2 : Lower down the temperature.

[mughalgarden]

1. Regularity (of sleeping and waking up) 2. Temperature (keep it cool about 18 deg C) 3. Darkness (dim lights, avoid screens) 4. Walk it out (if can't sleep within 25 mins in bed, do something else, don't let your brain form an association between your bed and sleepless lying down) 5. Monitor alcohol & caffeine (avoid) 6. Wind down routine (try some activities and make your own routine)

Another tip not mentioned is getting enough sunlight exposure during the day as it helps the brain differentiate times of the day to readjust its circadian rhythm so the pineal gland can excrete melatonin faster at night
