Sleep and I had a very long, very dysfunctional relationship. For more than 35 years, falling asleep meant lying in bed for hours while my brain enthusiastically replayed every awkward moment of my life, and nighttime anxiety was a regular visitor. Mornings felt like waking up after being hit by a truck. I was deeply suspicious of anyone who claimed to be a “morning person.” It seemed unlikely they were telling the truth. Over time I started treating sleep less like a personality trait and more like a system problem that could be engineered, harnessing darkness, sound control, temperature, pressure, and comfort to create an optimal sleep environment. Anxiety and sleep are close friends in the worst possible way, and getting that under control made a dramatic difference for me. In my case, a thoroughly unapologetic horses dose of venlafaxine has been a game changer. Once my brain stopped running nightly disaster simulations, all the other sleep tools actually had a chance to work. This list is the other supports I’ve gradually built to make sleep easier: none of it is magic, but together they turn bedtime from a nightly battle into something that actually resembles rest. 😴
