GDT: Game #62: Montreal @ Anaheim, March 3, 2023, 10 PM est | RDS, TSN2 - Trade Deadline edition

[Kimota]

real talk i think a good way to get more out of your 6 hrs of sleep is sleep hygiene:

- dark room
- cold room
- eye mask

etc

I do all that. But when the body doesn't want to, there's literally nothing that can be done. Although I heard of a sleeping machine that I might try at some point. lol

 

[Rapala]

My rem sleep numbers are really strong on most nights and now granted, it's only data from a fitbit so I don't know how accurate it really is. I am at my best though with good rem numbers.

Most people are. Remless days are a chore.

Cool dark room is key….stay away from boozing and binging late….cup of nighty time tea

 

[Team_Spirit]

Ah yes, those sweet August scrimmage vibes..what a game LOL

I think it's actually better to have interrupted sleep, like waking for brief periods 2-3 times a night. It gives the body a chance to start the sleep cycle over again.

 

[Rapala]

This game is boring AF. OT guaranteed and I don't want the point(s).

Make sure you have your bed positioned so that your head is pointed North.

What happens if you're pointed West?

 

[Hannibal]

What happens if you're pointed West?

Erectile malfunction!

How do you find them?

The girl I dated before my current girlfriend bought me melatonin pills but then I struggled to wake up for work in the morning.

Tried meditation but I can't seem to get the hang of that either. I'm not zen enough or whatever lol

It effected me the same way. Try taking a small quarter piece of the pill. Works perfect.

You see tonight that without ti-Cole that we're about the same level as the Ducks. But we have more points cause basically our goalies played lights out for a huge part of the season. That sucks.

Its okay Allens great in the room

3 years full time night worker here. Starting to get some sleep problem in my off days.

I finish my shifts at midnight three times a week and have Uni at 8, its f***ing brutal.

Holy shit, I'm a light weight. Half a gummie and I'm good. lol

Im also 235 lbs right now so I guess im a heavyweight

I can sleep anytime anywhere I just never feel tired it's pretty odd tbh maybe too many years of graveyard shift

Sleeping anytime anywhere really is the greatest gift you can have

All I can say then is good luck & try to get sleep wherever you can.

I had a special spot in the Concordia library just to nap at one point. It can be a struggle for sure.

thanks, I will need all that luck lol.

you do get groggy I feel. I use them once in a while when I feel like I will need the rest or have time in the morning to wake up. I work at 1 pm tomorrow, so I can afford a good 7 hours sleep + wake up time.

My therapist taught me a rythmic method to fall asleep but i hardly ever do it and I mostly cant do it. Its a lot of practice. I found that slow yoga with breathing does wind me down though... but I dont have time for that anymore personally

edit: also exertion from exercise

I would also recommend adding white noise in the form of a fan in your bedroom, we are so used to it that we can't sleep without it.

Anyone who has pulled an all nighter which I'm assuming is everyone has probably felt they were entering rem while conscious.

 

[Hannibal]

Three years i’ve been working the 19-7 night shifts. Thanks heaven i sleep so profund and good during the days!

Lmao, last summer I went on a week trip with my boys and one of the boys had to have his stupid white noise "fan" noise on his app go all night. We were going insane the first two days but it kinda works.

I literally cannot sleep without a fan, it's running all year round lol

I think I should give that a go!

I used to be able to fall asleep by slowing my breathing but that doesn't seem to work anymore for whatever reason. Need a new trick.


Edit: I used to play dark ambient music to sleep to but that pisses off the girlfriend who says it's like trying to sleep in a dungeon. Lol. So thats out.

Try drumming a beat for as long as you can on your knees and slow it down over time. The goal is to do it slow enough thay your hands arent moving anymore and your mind is so focused that you just fall asleep.

Dont drum a beat that you know the lyrics too. So no we will rock you wont work.

I'm pointing north(ish) but I'd have to place my bed diagonally to get true north. Faaak maybe it's time to move.
