The exercise is HIIT (high intensity interval training).

I get 9 hours of sleep, it just takes me two nights! 😂

I don’t need to be told over and over that I need more sleep, this just adds even more pressure. What I need is help to be able to sleep

My favorite remedy is HIN - High Intensity Napping - 30 minutes max.

If you ever get overwhelmed by everything in life, Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz might be worth looking at. It can help you reflect on the way stress and uncertainty affect you personally.

The last time I got 7 to 9 hours of sleep regularly was high school and before.

How do I have the energy to do HIIT when I’m sleep deprived? 😅

I get 6-7 hours total -I wake up to go to the bathroom. I decided not to worry about it and go to sleep.

I am 72 years old
I get a total of between 4-5 hours sleep daily. This includes getting up to go to the bathroom at least once a night. On a REALLY good night, I get 5 hours total 🥴

On one of my worse nights between 3-4 hours total sleep.
However (based on regular blood tests) my vital signs are good (blood pressure etc etc), so I really don't worry about it at all. I just accept that that's the way things are 🤫

Biggest mistake in my life is thinking I did not need to sleep. *Getting used to fatigue is a thing*, a bad thing.... I have not had 8 hours of sleep but maybe a dozen times in my life, but I wish I could do that.

For anyone reading this that has trouble sleeping try no harsh white light for a couple of hours before bed and no white light at all for the last 30 mins, I use a rechargeable red light torch in that last 30 mins so I can see, this routine seems to put my brain into sleep mode and I fall asleep within a few seconds of my head hitting the pillow and sleep through until the alarm 99% of the time. Black out blinds are a must especially when it starts getting light at 4am. This is advice from a good sleeper, take it or not but If you do I hope it helps.

I'm 77 years old, live alone, and am retired. I go to sleep at 10:30 pm plus or minus 5 minutes every night. I sleep until I wake up on my own and get at most 7 hours of sleep. Last night, it was 6 hours.

I have time to sleep more but my mind and body don't want to

@danieldejong6382 9 months ago

Like warming up prior to exercise, if you have sleeping issues....calm down your body once in bed. I inhale and exhale deeply and slowly 10 times. Then I lay supine, close my eyes, clear my mind and move my eyes left and right 10 times each way. It doesn't take time to doze off after that, for me. Maybe this helps others ...Happy New Year.

I think the best move is to prioritise sleep. You will feel better and be more likely to exercise. And if you nail those 2 you may also want to back it up with the best nutrition you can afford. Which is probably many of the people listening to or watching this. Give yourself the best you can, you're worth it. And remember that life can be tough so don't go too hard on yourself for not being perfect. We are all still human not robots.
