This thread is proof that they need to bring back national service. That will teach people to sleep when they get th chance. 🤣

I have always been able to sleep pretty much anywhere. But if I am sleeping in a bed, I have to have a really firm mattress. I have on many occasions in hotels or guesthouses where the bed was too soft, gotten out and slept on the floor.

But on a serious note, those of you seriously battling to sleep, how are your excercise levels? It doesn’t matter how mentally demanding your day is, if your brain is tired but your body isn’t, you won’t sleep well.

The more you work out, the better you will sleep.
 
TV on "audio only" while playing any 10hr white noise (favourite being rain on a tin roof) on YT.
 
I can't sleep without;

1. AC on or FAN with a cool room AND the noise.
2. If no AC/FAN noise then a background noise app.
3. Soft lighting, preferably on the floor level. Not very bright but i cannot sleep in a full dark room, not happening lol.

This is always a weird one for me. Like I mentioned before I can sleep pretty much anywhere if I need to. No hang ups, but given the choice, I want the room as dark as possible. No ambient light, no nightlights, blockout curtains or shutter, and with a temp of around 12-16 degrees. That’s when I get the absolute best sleep.

I believe, but never checked, there are underlying issues to people who need noise and light in the room when sleeping. I'm just worried about finding out why lol... :)

Completely dark room just give me too much anxiety to sleep.

We all have our little sleep rituals.

Like blocking out light, drowning out noise, or getting extra cozy before bed. Some people can sleep anywhere, while others need the perfect setup. I’m curious what everyone here actually uses to get a good night’s sleep.

Um... a pillow... sometimes.

I've slept on everything from the floor in the pit garage at the race track to the ground next to the dam to in my car. I've forgotten my pillow for a track weekend before and wrapped my jersey around a boot.

Nix, niks, nada, nothing. Those things are all just BS rubbish! A bed, pillow, and blankets in winter that is it.
 
Slept on a water bed for years, best sleep you could wish for. Moulds to your body, set to ideal temperature. Got rid of it when I moved into a complex in 2023 because my bedroom's upstairs and that thing weighed A LOT.

200x152x30 of water plus the wooden base, so I didn't want to risk it. Also new bedrooms 4x3 and that bed was yuge.

Anyway, sleep on a Sloom mattress now with eye mask. Window open.

I almost wanted to say the Chad of sleepers but then I saw "A bed, pillow, and blankets in winter that is it."

:unsure:
 
CPAP, eye mask, blockout curtains, knee pillow, cuddle cat (cat passed away a few years ago, but used to cuddle her in my sleep. Got used to my cuddle cat (squishmallow), and now I always use it), and fan in summer

Why couldn't you empty the water and refill in the apartment?
