I tend to go to bed early so my goal every day is to put my phone and computer away at 9pm. Then I usually read before finally falling asleep. I like reading Sci Fi stories and find that getting lost in the stories helps me to turn off my brain to go to bed.
I also am pretty sound sensitive so I like to have a fan on for some white noise. If I dont have a fan or I am sleeping with my husband who snores I wear Bose Sleepbuds and they are AMAZING! I have worn ear plugs for years and these are like super nice ear plugs that stay in place AND you can play white noise through them if you want. Because they hook up to your phone your alarms will go through the ear buds so you dont accidentally miss your alarm. Highly recommend them.
An aspiring artist using code as another medium for creation. I am currently a software developer in an EdTech company focused on improving communication in the workplace. I work heavily in Ruby!
Thanks for your suggestions! I have heard that reading works of fiction & minimize stimulus before helps out a lot in turning off the often chaotic mind of a software developer. I ought to go shopping for my next novel to read :)
Also, I've seen the Bose Sleepbuds but haven't ever committed to getting them. But I think it is even more appeal now that I'am sleeping relatively near a busy high way.
Thanks again for your feedback! I hope to get some better rest
