Sleep quality and consistency associated with better academic performance (2019)

For me, Melatonin (just 300mcg, a very small dose) and cutting out caffeine and chocolate are sometimes required.

Two less obvious things that work for me:

- Massage the back of my neck rigorously before sleep. Probably this improves blood flow to the brain.

- Unlock the window handle slightly, to get a constant flow of air towards the head. Probably I need more oxygen (or lower CO2) than usual because this doesn’t work for my wife.

Good call on the chocolate, caffeine is pretty obvious but a lot would take forever to figure out chocolate.

I have tinnitus so a fan is an absolute must for background noise but I also find the air movement pleasant.
