Since moving down to Melbourne my poor sleep has started up again. It’s really hard to say what the main factor driving this is. My doctor down here has put me onto a drug free way of trying to improve my sleep, and I think I kind of like it, while it’s no silver bullet, it is something I can go back to if I’m having trouble with my sleep, without having to get a prescription.
The basic idea is to maximise sleep efficiency. If you’re only getting n hours sleep a night, only spend n hours a night in bed. This forces you to stay up and go to bed rather late for a few nights. Hopefully, being tired will help you sleep through the night in one large segment. Once you’ve successfully slept through the night a few times, relax your bed time by say fifteen minutes, and get used to that. Slowly over time, you increase the amount of sleep you’re getting, while keeping your efficiency high.
