Why waste time tossing around for 2 hours when I could be gaming instead?

I do this as a pro-move tbh. I just make up for it by sleeping late on weekends
I think like 80% of the time it's my bladder lol either that or my back hurts enough to wake me up enough to realize my bladder is being a jerk. I get up to take care of that and that's it, can't go back to sleep.
The other 20% of the time it's my cat doing the crepuscular cat thing and smacking her toys around at 4am lol
I have to have a fan and white noise or every single little creak will wake me up. That and the asshole bird that comes to my window every morning at 4:30 to shit on my car and scream into the window for like 30 mins lol
This might sound counter-intuitive, but don't drink water before bed. Drink it when you wake up. Water wakes you up, so not only will you fall asleep faster, but you know, no pee
I'm not gonna tell you to hit the gym, but DEFINITELY put a pillow under your knees. 1 week of pillow under knee sleeping, you won't go back to without it
If your white noise isn't sufficient, you could also try "brown noise" - same thing, but lower pitch. Some people prefer it. Also regarding the bird, I can't help you for that, but make sure your blinds are closed and it's dark in the room (or otherwise try sleeping with a shirt covering your eyes). Light sensitivity is big for some people (including me)
