Practical tips to sleep well, learned the hard way …
9 AM in the morning sleeping deep on my bed, suddenly the finest electronic music started playing by a pre-programmed application on my PC, high enough to wake-up everyone at home except me, my brother enters the room and walks towards my bed, he nudged me and said: “wake up … the party has just started” !
That was just one example of how bad my sleep was during my teenage years, in my 20s things didn’t improve much and I always had sleep problems at different levels, fast forward…
