I have implemented nearly all the sleep suggestions that Dr. Huberman gives, such as getting sunlight in the morning and late afternoon, dimming lights and avoiding screens at night, eating 3 hours before sleep, keeping naps or NSDR short and early in the afternoon, stopping caffeine intake after noon, exercising consistently around noon, and staying hydrated during the day. However, nothing seems to work because I fall asleep fine around 9 or 10 pm but keep waking up after 4 or 5 hours and can't fall back asleep, even with yoga nidra or NSDR. I went to the doctor, and they prescribed me trazodone, but I still don't get more than 6 hours of sleep. What should I do?
If I am trying to shift my bedtime earlier, will 10 minutes of Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) in the afternoon make it easier or more difficult to fall asleep? What about a 10-minute nap?
Can you also do Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) when the afternoon downtime sets in after listening to the episode Using Science to Optimize Sleep, Learning & Metabolism | Huberman Lab Podcast #3 and the clip Exercise Insights?
