Hey, I'm 18 and have struggled with sleep for as long as I can remember. The usual advice (no phone before bed, melatonin up to 5mg, doxylamine up to 50mg, cold room, shower before bed) barely helped. Doxylamine knocked me out but the sleep quality was poor.

The last 4 weeks were especially rough. some financial setbacks hit me hard, and I couldn't get past 5 hours a night. It wore me down a lot.

What actually made a difference: walking alone at night. I know plenty of people have tried this, but for me it did more than any sleep routine or supplement.

I started 3 nights ago, 11pm, 30 minutes. Just me and my thoughts, reflecting, just existing. It didn't feel different walking into it I'd been exhausted for weeks. but it's what let me actually sleep. I'm at 8 hours a night now and I can't fully explain why it works so well.

​

My theory: we've lost touch with our natural rhythm. Most of us are on our phones constantly, so the body never gets the cues that say "it's nighttime, wind down." Four things seem to matter:

No phone

Exposure to natural darkness

Mild movement

Reflection

One pattern I noticed that's really common: can't sleep → lying awake → getting stressed → can't sleep even more. My fix: instead of lying there, get up and go outside. For me that's been 2-3 times some nights, but the calm afterward makes falling asleep way easier.

I hope that there's at least one person that I've helped.

Thanks for your attention.

I started working at 13, distributing newspapers. I've been trading for a few months now, mostly CFDs. But one gold trade I forgot to set a stop-loss. I opened my portfolio and got a shock. I was down 230%, with a margin level of 90%. 5k€ gone of which 1.5k€ I made from trading.

​

It was not that bad until the NFP release came. I thought 'itll come back up'. hell naw. Yea now I have almost nothing left. it fucked up my sleep and my school grades because I could not apologize to myself what happened.

Yea newbies im telling you: 3 months with good profits do not make you profitable, they make you vulnerable.

What's the progression for the cheat gainer?

I chose it as my first trick. I am able to perform the J kick and land on my kicking leg, yet it doesn't look like it should. I will post an update.

Thanks.

I'm trying to learn a backflip at the moment as my first trick. Would you say that a backflip is easier or harder than most people assume? Is a normal backflip considered easier than a wallflip? And how long did it take u to get it?

Thank you so much!
