I've had severe insomnia since I was a kid and have tried so many things to address it

My friend Aurora (who btw recruited me at Coinbase so I owe her a lot :P) mentioned Stellar Sleep and I'm going to give it a shot. Anyone have success with this?

@ethereumfndn | ex: @optimism @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out?

I love it! I prioritize sleep because of it and have improved some sleep habits but unfortunately still have severe insomnia

re: sleep — @jing recommended I read “why we sleep” and it changed my life

Awaiting for the review! 
Best of luck! Insomnia is the worst.

Same problem. Will try as well. A regular sleep schedule, intense exercise and magnesium helps but sometimes nothing helps.

Magnesium and Taurine if you haven’t tried

I've had sleep issues since childhood and I've tried everything. The only things that have worked is watching Bob Ross with the screen dimmed and Snoozy gummies that @keccers.eth shared a few months ago. Those made a HUGE difference when no other meds or gummies worked. I'll check out this app. Thank you! 1000 $degen

It might be because your creative brain is working at night and you couldn’t stop them. You might find yourself very peaceful at night and enjoy the thought process. The best way to relax the brain (or even slow down ) is breathing. Open the window. Take a deep breath. And hold it for 4 seconds. Release it. Do it again 10 times your brain needs oxygen to sleep ☺️try box breathing techniques, hope it helps you relax

Try some natural herbs ..better than app style support..had similar issues,treated with Ayurveda,over a span of few months..good luck 🙏🙏🙏

Don't know much about Stellar but paid $1.9K for a sleep program to make the sleep better and it was super helpful. Happy to share some learnings!

Physical Therapy

Hi Linda @linda 

I'm a physical therapist, and I understand how challenging insomnia can be. I’ve put together a few things I believe might help you🤎

- Deep Breathing
Practice diaphragmatic breathing…inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth.

-Yoga Nidra.
 I made a research on this for you and decided to add it to all I’ll recommend for you. This guided meditation helps relax your body and mind, preparing you for sleep.

-Gentle Stretching.
Focus on stretching your neck, shoulders, and back to release tension. 

-Meditation.
Spend a few minutes focusing on your breath and letting go of intrusive thoughts before you go to bed

I haven’t tried the Stellar sleep app before but while i was a PT student, I used to have difficulty sleeping and made use of the “Tide” app. They had a few meditation and breathing helps as well as WHITE NOISES which are very helpful, I’ll admit.

You can try these and hopefully things get better
I wish you luck🤍

Hi linda. I recommended a few things for you
I hope they are helpful💜🩷

I had sleep issues too. Start with reducing screen time. Sometimes you just have to pick, health, family or more work. It’s tough though.

A friend of mine has been suffering from insomnia lately. I'll try to recommend you, thanks.
 Take care of yourself.

Best of luck to you. I use insight timer. It may be similar and it has helped me turn off the chatter in my brain so my exhausted body can go to sleep.
