I think sleeping is like weight loss, it&amp;#x27;s really simple but people don&amp;#x27;t want to do what&amp;#x27;s necessary. Non-sedentary lifestyle, eat right, wake up and go to sleep with sun, don&amp;#x27;t use electronics, etc.</text></comment>

Also, doing necessary emotional work with a counselor. All of those IME reduce my low grade anxiety.&lt;p&gt;It’s basically all eating your vegetables stuff. Way more impactful than any supplement or protocol.&lt;p&gt;N=1 and all that. HTH</text></comment>
