Sleep Stats for 2024 writing.desipundit.com
@pratik improving my sleep is a key focus for me in 2025. Your average sleep per night is goals. What are the specific habits of practices that you think contribute the most to your healthy sleep metrics?
@chrisheck my very long walk to work, which guarantees me enough activity to be properly tired at day’s end.
@pratik thanks. I was feeling odd about sharing my metrics but I also use the sleep app and did want to share this data haha. I will write a post soon! Great numbers btw!
@chrisheck Reading my Kindle before bed instead of scrolling on my phone. Getting a workout in or at least walking my dog in the evening after dinner (do this every day). Also, tbh, anti-anxiety meds have helped too. @abelrism
@stupendousman Considering the things I am now posting on my blog, this is hardly odd for me now LOL/ It's mostly a record for myself. Bindaas post kar.
@ablerism I love that. This is something that I’ve been wanting to bake into my daily schedule and to be more consistent with. Not just for the movement and exercise but for the opportunity to clear my head and process everything that’s running through my mind. Thanks for sharing.
@pratik Reading through your response reinforces to me that it’s not that I don’t know what’s helpful. It’s just that I’m inconsistent in applying them in my own life. It’s always good to hear what’s working for others though so I appreciate you being willing to share. It’s an encouragement to be more intentional about my evening routine.
@chrisheck Of course. Different things work for different people. Addressing any underlying issues outside your physical self may also help.
@chrisheck @pratik I have had major major improvements in sleep, and my advice is exactly the same as Pratik. Maybe one addition is just being ruthless about bed time and wake time. I try really hard to not vary bed time, and no matter what happens at night, wake time does not change. That helped a HUGE amount for me.
@jsonbecker appreciate the tip. Predictable routines and schedules typically serve me well so this is something I’ll try to implement.
@jsonbecker I second this. I tend to wake up at the same time (5:30-6:30) no matter when I go to sleep, so if I go to sleep after 23:00 it can cost me. Other things that help are a humidifier on dry nights (it helps with breathing) and black-out curtains because I live in the city.
