I love it because I fall asleep easier and wake up more fresh

I invested in my sleep this year. Bought a white noise machine, comfy percal cotton sheets, ear plugs, eye mask, mouth tape, try to go running consistently, implemented basic sleep hygiene stuff like no phone in the room, and… I still have trouble. I went on a 50km bike ride over the weekend and still had trouble. But… the reality is that it has gotten better on average after implementing all of this and fuck it, I’ll take it.

I drink a cup of coffee only once a day. It’s extra strong though. Maybe that has something to do with it. But I really love that one strong ass coffee in the morning.

Mouth tape? Is this like a sleep apnea home remedy or something? I’m now worried I’m sleeping wrong.

All I know is that I would often wake up with a dry mouth and that I was definitely breathing through it all night.
