🌡️ Sucking the CO2 out of my bedroom turned out to be the final thing improving my already good sleep to great

My weekly sleep is now 1st in Los Angeles, 5th in California and Japan and 9th in Amsterdam, so really good

Most people have way too high CO2 in their bedroom (1500 to 2500 ppm) because that's what you breathe out and it doesn't get refreshed, I discovered this after getting an @airthings sensor (unaffiliated, I just like it)

There's a lot of confusion about CO2, you can't "air purify" CO2 out, it doesn't work like that, also it's not CO, it's CO2, it's what you breathe out, slowly a room will fill up with it and your brain and body will start struggling. You realize CO2 high when you feel a room is "stuffy", too many people breathing out, not enough fresh air coming in

If you sleep as a couple the CO2 will be double because you both breathe out for 8 hours. Americans who think HVAC will save them: no most HVAC recirculates air it does not refresh air (very new houses do though), also outside US: regular AC just recirculates air, for CO2 to be removed you have to bring in fresh air from outside (like a bathroom fan sucking out air to create pressure to bring in new air, or an actual refresh air system). Opening a window is a nice idea but these days (?) almost everywhere is loud and you'll wake up from stuff to also slowly destroy your sleep

Most people also sleep WAY too hot around 23°C/73°F but don't realize it, because that's a good temperature for a living room in the day, but way too hot for good sleep. Most studies show the ideal bedroom temperature is around 15-18°C / 59-65°F. Above that your body will not enter deep sleep meaning 8 hours of sleep in a hot bedeoom might just be 5 hours of actual sleep (I see people from warm countries consistently not accept this, so my rebuttal is: if you sleep so well, why is your GDP so low). The fix is installing a powerful AC, not blasting it in your direction (that's bad for your nose), and cleaning it regularly. I run my AC at 17°C/62°F with fan on 3/4 strength directed downward so we don't feel the air hitting us directly (important). Many ACs suck, we had Daikins and they suck, they go on and off repeatedly after hitting their target temperature, which wakes you up too, you need an AC that has constant cold air flow, we got Mitsubishi Electric which is great

One other thing that I like and use every night is the @curaofsweden weighted blanket (also unaffiliated), it's 9kgs/20lbs (related to your body weight so buy the right one) which creates deep pressure and compression on your body which calms your nervous system, I think this is also related to modern bed sheets/blankets: they used to be made of organic materials like cotton etc and were way heavier than modern lightweight polyester/plastic sheets so you don't get that effect anymore, with a weighted blanket you do

On top of that weighted blanket, I have a blanket that I put over it usually around 5am when my core body temperature hits the lowest point, of course this makes a good argument for those temperature regulating beds (but that's too much even for me for now)

Outside of bedroom what also really helps my sleep is exercise, I lift weights about 3-4x per week and try hit 30min gym cycling for cardio 2-3x per week too. Especially the lifting puts me in a coma. Yesterday I squatted 120kg for example and you just feel like falling into your bed after that, also deadlifts and benchpress etc

Anyway this is how I made my already good sleep great, I hope it helps! 😊
