Weight loss accountability/support 2025 edition

Last year I decided that one of my core focusses was going to be my own health. I think I scored an 8/10 here whereas previously may have been 6/10. Sleep was a decent part of it.

Not to get all huberbro but a few changes I made last year to try and improve sleep:

• go to bed at a consistent time with a consistent routine.
  
• I got a Whoop and find this really helpful for everything (it’s somewhat expensive but I’ve found it very helpful)
  
• Gave up tea in the evening and stopped coffee after 12pm. This slipped over the holidays and I’ve noticed. A cup of chamomile is my go to now.
  
• Shower in the evening
  
• Deleted TikTok
  
• learnt a new sleep position. I researched ‘better’ ways of sleeping for spinal health. My adaptation was holding a pillow between my arms but to keep them locked out and then stacking my legs with a slight bend in line with my spine.
  
  

I tried some other things none of which appeared to improve my sleep. I kept track using whoop and the journal app when doing something new.

This year:

• blackout blind
  
• Nasal strips (I suffer from congestion and these have been helping)
  
• See a doctor about my nasal congestion!
  
• Humidifier
