I noticed that when I don't get enough sleep, I'm drawn to more unhealthy food and other harmful addictions

Sleep deprivation will make you an animal and powerless to stop bad habits. Prioritize 7-8 hr each night. Build your life around it.

1. Be a professional sleeper! Invest! 2. Have your final meal of the day at least 3-4 hours before bed time. 3. Implement a 30-60m wind down routine. screens OFF, meditate, soothing music.. 4. Morning (sun) light exposure within the first 15m after waking up. 5. Have consistent bed times. Try to be on time and not 15m early or late. 6. Do not have coffee in the afternoon! 7. Avoid blue lights in the evening. Use warm/amber light mode of your laptop/phone screen if you cannot live without it. 8. Cool down your bedroom if possible. 9. Try to sleep in a calm / silent environment. You can use earplugs, but keep in mind they might impact your sleep in other ways. 10. Track your own data. Use a wearable and track your personal preferences. Bonus Advice: - Try to get rid of your phone by charging it in another room. - Journaling can help calming down, and have something to do while relaxing. - Try to spend as little time in bed (outside of sleeping) as possible. Ban anything that isn't sleep or sex from your bed. No more scrolling. - Try to sleep alone. If you have a partner, talk to them about it, and try to sleep in separate beds if possible.

I can’t believe that some people can have up to 2 hours of deep sleep.. Sounds like a miracle! Today I had 15 minutes and if I get 30 minutes that’s a big win!🙄 I’m a parent of small kids, sleep is a problem in my house😢
