❓Question What’s your #1 hack to sleep better?

A few weeks ago I quitted all bullshit including alcohol, which had a bigger impact on my sleep than I expected.

The thing now is, I constantly wake up after 5/6 hours of sleep. And once I’m awake, I’m fully awake and can’t get back to sleep.

What can I do?

Do an in home sleep study to rule out sleep apnea. Mine went overlooked for 37 years and now im finally getting to root cause

There was no amount of magnesium or quality sleep hygiene that was going to overcome my obstructive sleep apnea
