Apart from what you're already doing, I would also include vigorous exercise daily, and don't eat too close to bedtime. <br /><br />Also, keep artificial lighting to a minimum after sunset (this one helps me a lot), and that includes TV and PC screens. If you must use a PC at night, consider getting the F.lux program. If all of that still isn't working, and you're not on any drugs that would interfere with sleep quality, it's time to consult a doctor to get a referral to a medical specialist.John Siffermanhttp://PhysicalLiving.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-16405966166061481772011-06-08T10:50:42.138-07:002011-06-08T10:50:42.138-07:00This is all fine and dandy, but how exactly do you...This is all fine and dandy, but how exactly do you go from being a short sleeper to a 7-8 hour a night sleeper? I would love to sleep for that long, but I'm lucky to get 5-6 hours a night. I'm paleo, no caffeine, room is blacked out, no lights at all. so how is this done?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
