Can we talk about how a $65 blackout curtain beat every fancy sleep gadget I own
Everyone keeps pushing the whole wind down routine thing with the teas and the journaling and the $180 weighted blanket, and honestly none of it worked for me. What actually fixed my nights was a $65 blackout curtain I grabbed at a hardware store in Boise two winters back, because my apartment faces a streetlight that never quits. First week with it up I slept through until 6:40 instead of waking at 4:15 like clockwork, and I stopped needing a nap before my shift even started. The blankets and apps and white noise machines did nothing compared to just making the room actually dark. Am I the only one who thinks the simple stuff beats the whole gadget routine?
