this has been advocated by Dr. Andrew Weill for years. I’d forgotten all about it. Appreciate the reminder.
I can’t read the article without an account. Can anyone can give us a summary of this story? Sounds interesting.
The Twitter thread by @RenaissanceGX shares practical tips for improving sleep quality. Here’s a summary:
4-7-8 Breathing Technique: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation.
Acupressure Hack: Press the Shen Men point on your ear for 30 seconds to stimulate the vagus nerve, reducing stress hormones.
Magnesium Supplementation: Magnesium Glycinate or Threonate can improve sleep quality. Take 200-400mg an hour before bed.
Morning Sunlight: Get 10 minutes of sunlight in the morning to reset your circadian rhythm and boost melatonin production.
Avoid Blue Light: Reduce screen time an hour before bed and use night mode to prevent melatonin disruption.
The thread emphasizes the importance of fixing your nervous system and natural sleep patterns instead of relying on melatonin supplements. It concludes with a 7-day routine combining these tips for better sleep.
