Breathe Better, Sleep Better, Live Better Podcast

The instruction manual for how to sleep in the 1700s vs. 2022 (partial satire).

If you wanted to go to sleep in the 1700s, this is what you do:

  1. Lie down in bed
  2. Close your eyes.

  1. Avoid snacks or food 3-4 hours before bedtime
  2. No screens 3-4 hours before bedtime

  6. Go to bed and wake up at same time every night
  7. Sleep for 7-8 hours

  12. Address any nasal congestion (air purifier for allergies, breathe right strips, nasal saline irrigation)
  13. Allergy-proof your bedroom (no rugs/carpeting, allergy sheets, and bedding, HEPA filter)
  14. Brush your teeth and wash your face
  15. Eat a high-fat meal 3-4 hours before bedtime.
  16. Consider the Keto or Carnivore diet with lots more saturated fat and proteins
  17. Exercise outdoors in the sunlight
  18. Get lots of sun exposure for vitamin D and near-infrared light for mitochondrial melatonin and its anti-oxidant properties

  20. Do meditation/relaxation/stretching/deep breathing exercises to lower your stress levels
  21. Make sure you checked off all 20 items on this list so far
