as i often have trouble falling asleep, people have been recommending me to take a melatonin pill half an hour before going to bed.

what are you’re experiences with it and is there anything i should be worried about?

supplemental melatonin can really mess up your natural sleeping rythm. may find yourself tired at inappropriate times, groggy in the korning.

I took it for years before realizing it’s better to get a thorough workout and just eat once in the afternoon, avoid sugar, stop drinking caffeine if you must have it about like 10am.

i was recommended red light after dusk and I have found that very relaxing, better than melatonin

if you use nicotine you have to just accept the poor sleep tradeoff

limit screentime after dusk

woah, you only eat once a day?

damn, crazy 🤯

quit smoking and drinking, caffeine and sugar are the next in line for me. 💜

congrats man, caffeine & sugar are so hard. I struggle with these too.

my great grandparents both farmed into their 90s & lived to be over 100 each.

they ate one meal a day. primarily meat and nothing they didn’t raise or grow themselves.

thank you buddy, really need to take a deeper look at my diet and grocery list, when i move back to my dormitory in a couple of weeks.

trying to figure out why my energy levels are so incredibly low throughout the day 🤔

it takes time to adjust.

there’s no food in the grocery store brother, head to the nearest butcher

damn, i wouldn’t even know what to get 🤔

need to start managing my budget better, i’d rather have one high quality meal a day, instead of numerous cheap ones, especially as a student 💜
