Early risers thread!

I read that tensing every muscle you can connect with as tightly as you could, before slowly releasing starting at your toes is supposed to put you to sleep fast, especiallyif you do it two or three times. It doesn't work with me, but I might just not be tensing enough muscles.

There's a breathing technique.

The technique I've read/heard most about is 4-7-8.

Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8.

I woke up but it was because the roosters were having their morning contest.

I wake up at 3:30 to the roosters. Or 3:00 to my dad trying to be quiet while making breakfast

Any tips from the early risers here about how to fall asleep fast?

I heard it said that there is a technique for falling asleep in 2 minutes or less, but every '2 minute or less' person I know is already asleep

None here, sorry. It usually takes me an hour or more to fall asleep. My dad, on the other hand…he goes to bed and is snoring within five minutes.

My dad is asleep in a second or so. Or at least I can hear him snoring form the attic.

Dads know how to do everything, including how to insta-sleep, apparently!

Hmm I'm not sure but I think sleep is necessary... but I'm probably wrong

I think it’s optional

I think it’s optional

I love going to sleep. And then waking up at 4.
