Reddit mentions of Sleep Thieves

I think school here started around 7:30 am. I had issues falling asleep as long as I can remember, and I hated it to get up so early. When I started having classes for the theoretical part of my driver's license I realized I learn much better in the afternoon.

Interesting read about this topic: Sleep Thieves

If you like sleep, I suggest reading Stanley Coren's Sleep Thieves. It talks about a lot of different aspects of sleep in a very readable manner.

> My main question is, how do you guys deal with sleeping, are there any techniques you'd recommend?

Oh, my goodness, was it hard when I was young. So much tossing, turning, and ticcing. Things that have helped me:

• Getting older, and my tics getting less severe
  
• Reading Sleep Thieves and getting some good "sleep hygiene"
  
• Exercising during the day, so I'm nice and worn out at night.
  
• Being old and tired all the time. :-(
