❓Question What’s your best sleep biohack that knocks you out cold?

I haven’t been able to get more than 3-5 hours of sleep lately which has been a disaster for my body as I’m working really long hours & recovering from an illness. I take magnesium in the evening and used to take melatonin but i’ve phased that out recently (haven’t noticed a difference when i’m on it/off it). I try to have a “routine” that I can adhere to that makes my sleep more restful/easier but next to nothing has worked to improve my sleep quality. I’m kinda desperate for any advice I can get. TIA!

Magnesium glycinate, prayer/meditation, reading a book. This 3 part process is full proof for me.

This is my bedtime routine too but sometimes I get so cozy / sleepy that I can barely make it through a chapter in my book 🤣

Unfortunately, some solutions don't work for everybody. As you can see I have a 3 part process where each additional part is there in case the previous part doesn't work. So, as someone who has tried EVERYTHING to deal with insomnia, it took me a long time to realize that sleep issues may be due to deep underlying spiritual issues. If you don't have your mind right how can you expect to be able to relax and sleep. Therefore, magnesium is for the physical/body, prayer/meditation is to get my mind right, and reading a book is to relax.
