SW Wisconsin | I always seem to sleep better if I exercise before bed, at least enough to work up a good sweat for several minutes, and then take a warm shower.
I've worn a HR monitor to bed a few times, just out of curiosity. When I'm up, walking around, my HR runs mostly 70-90. When I go to bed, for the first hour to hour and a half, it drops to around 50. After that it goes up to around 60, and stays there as long as I'm asleep. My hypothesis is that the heart rate dropping is tied to falling asleep, so you can kind of spoof that feedback system by increasing the HR right before bed, so it's dropping naturally when you lay down. | |

Any ” natural”Sleep aid suggestions or other?
