467: How to Sleep Better

HAL ELROD
About this episode

So many people I know suffer from sleep disorders, and I used to be one of them. My sleeping schedule was a mess for the better half of a year, averaging 2-4 hours each night, so I know how bad it can get.  

As a result of chronic sleep deprivation, I developed severe anxiety, depression, and PTSD as a result. But I found a way out, and that's why I am passionate about sharing what I did with anyone who needs help.

In today's episode, I'll tell you exactly how I overcame my struggles with sleep, so you don't have to go through that same misery. I also share my evening routine for falling and staying asleep, including which supplements I take, what I read to fall asleep faster, and the mindset that allows me to have a deep, restful sleep each night.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What I learned about sleep supplementation by trying dozens of sleep aids.
  • How I tweaked my nighttime ritual to improve my sleep drastically.
  • How the food you eat and when you eat affects how well you sleep.
  • Why different books activate different parts of your brain and how that affects sleep.
  • The quality of your thoughts before bed affects how well-rested you'll wake up the next morning.
