Dude I saw sleep specialists at Stanford here in Palo Alto and we still don’t know a lot about it, regardless of what you might read

The whole sleep hygiene things been sort of discredited and doctors just follow a script with like 5 things they will prescribe you for sleep problems and after those 5 things it’s like oh well we tried

I once showed them a study I found online in a reputable journal (at least the study was conducted by someone from a well regarded university in a journal that wasn’t obviously bad)

The doctor didn’t even look at the study, he just saw where it came from and said “yeah we don’t use that journal”

I would have much more appreciated an answer if I don’t have time to read your bullshit vs what he gave me
