FAST START WITH SIX HOURS TARGET….ITS NOT IMPORTANT VERY MUCH WHETHER YOU SLEEP AT 21 OR 23 BUT IN CONTINUITY 6 HOURS SLEEP IS COMPULSORY FOR EVERYONE….I WOULD SUGGEST, FIRST START WITH 6 HOURS AIM, REGULAR TIMING, EVEN MAINTAIN IN WEEKEND THAT IS MUCH IMPORTANT….AND LASTLY IF ALL THE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN NOT EFFECTIVE THEN PLZ DONT HESITATE TO TAKE SOME MINOR SLEEPING PILLS AS PRESCRIBED BY THE PHYSICIAN….
from San Martin de los Andes, Argentina: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS!!!!
Good information about sleep disorders.

Often the temperature of the room can mean the difference between whether you drift off to sleep easily (in a cool room) or you struggle with your bed clothes and generally uncomfortable feelings (in a room that’s too warm). Err on the side of cool and see if it helps.
the easiest way to get to sleep is for someone to hit you on the head with a mallet lol x
