Are you just always tired? Do you have some kind of bedtime ritual? Have you had issues sleeping in the past and how did you handle that?

    I can be out in 30 seconds. My wife hates it, LOL. Especially because I can self check and give her an accurate prediction of when I will be tired enough for sleep.

    I.e. she might say “what do you want to do tonight? And I’ll say " we can watch a short episode of a show or a quick board game, because I have 45 minutes before I’ll be asleep”

    Main things are routine:

    • I eat a balanced diet of protein, fats, carbs. And I don’t often snack on sugary foods.
    • I don’t go to bed unless I’m actually tired.
    • I wake up about the same time every day. Usually with the sunrise.
    • I don’t have worry, or anxiety, that would keep my brain busy at night. Everything can be tomorrow’s problem.
    • if my body is tired out, but my mind isn’t, I’ll put in earbuds and listen to a podcast in bed , but with everything set for sleeping. Lights out, eyes shut, comfortable in the covers.
