I used to be good for a solid 7 hours but the last year or so my anxiety has destroyed that skill I once had. I can get to sleep fine but I'll wake up at least once in the middle of the night with intrusive fears about the future, I started therapy last summer and got on anti-anxiety meds this a couple of weeks ago, hoping some of that will change. I'll take an Ambien every once in a while and that drug works perfectly. Every drug should work that well but I don't want to develop a tolerance for it.

My routine for regular healthy sleep:
• No caffeine after noon*
• Make sure you’ve left the house at least once today
• 1 beer or red wine around 8pm, and turn off all screens until tomorrow
• Feeling drowsy by 9 or 10, let it happen and fall asleep naturally
• Wake up every day at 6am with no alarm.
(Kids wake me up at 6, but on days when they sleep until 7 or when I travel for work, I still wake up at 6am EST with no alarm. Never fails.)
Also to be fair I’ve been having trouble not drinking coffee in the afternoons. Caffeine so addictive.
