      I stopped drinking fluids three hours before sleep and that’s helped. Just have to hydrate well early in the day.

      Doesn’t work if i drink any alcoholic or sugary beverages.

      If by that you mean 8 or 10 vodkas, then yes. I try that regularly.

      That causes me to fall asleep quickly and then wake up 2 to 3 hours later feeling exhausted

      Then it messes with my sleep the rest of the week…

        Commuting by bike exclusively, and training for racing from 2009-2014. I only ever got hit by 2 SUVs at one time, but that is the one that broke my neck and back in 2014. Most of the rest were from people turning in and out of driveways or parallel parking spots. In the six crashes, three I rode away from with only road rash from going down. Three of the seven were totalled SUVs. I was faster than most e-bikes before lithium battery e-bikes were really a mass market thing. Back then, I averaged around 400 miles per week on the bike. I was one of the most hardcore roadies out there.

            I’ve gotten 8 hours a half dozen times in 12 years. Most are 3-5hrs. It will be what kills me… along with all the other stuff. Don’t break your spine. Not recommended. Thanks tho.

          My dad warned me about using bicycles and motorcycles on the public roads based on his experience in the 50s. It was dangerous even then, and it’s only gotten worse with the number of cars and roads designed strictly for automobiles in general. Driving in traffic in a big car is scary enough; the people out there are insane.

          I looked into an e-bike for getting to work a few years back. The range and time would have worked, and I travel during the light hours. But I couldn’t find a safe way to make it happen, even through back roads. Probably for the best, eventually someone would probably have got me.

    Amateur! Wait till you hit 65. I’m slowly becoming Darth Vader. Machines to make me breathe, eyes that can’t see, ears that can’t hear and teeth that shatter on the softest food. Luckily they haven’t started replacing any of the inside bits… yet.

    PS: this is just the short list of stuff.

    That much melatonin will give you weird sweat nightmares. I just mention this because a lot of people think more mg = more sleep but at 10+ mg melatonin does real weird shit to your REM cycle. Most evidence shows that the optimal dose is often less than 1 mg. Just in case you’re curious.
