Lifetime chronically poor sleeper here - Look at Andrew Huberman for advice.

Natural supplements: magnesium threonate, glycine, l-theanine, apigenin. No melatonin.

Prescription: 50mg Trazadone when things are really bad. Dogs can easily get this drug prescribed :)

Hygiene: regular sleep time. No phones in bed. Cold room. Improved bedding. If you can't sleep or wake up in the middle of the night, get out of bed and do -something- that isn't on a screen for a few minutes. No water near bedtime. No caffeine after noon. Try a white noise machine and a high quality eye mask such Manta.

10 minutes of sunlight immediately after waking. View the sky before the sun sets. Enable blue light filters using something like Twilight, specially for evening hours. Avoid overhead lights at night and, if possible, at night switch to lights that are lower than your head.

Regular meditation and breathing exercises. No alcohol within 4 hours of sleep. Don't eat any food near bed time.

Get a sleep tracker such as Oura to provide metrics and data on the efficacy of these various methods and to see how your body reacts to timing of stuff like meals, alcohol, supplements, etc.

...? Did you even look at the picture? That's 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.

Not temporary at all and works quite well. This is a well known, and common, technique.

I don't know what sort of copium you're smoking. I lived in rural Michigan for most of my life. Train is absolutely not a viable mode of transportation for rural America. There's a reason trains and subways still exist on the east coast of America and in most or Europe, Asia, and south America - they are useful.

They died out everywhere else because guess what, they are not ideal at all, and the convenience factor of cars is basically unbeatable. Even if we had a high-speed rail connecting our major cities, okay, how do I get to my destination? Another train? What about when I live 35 miles from the city center.... another train...? Sounds absolutely atrocious

People with drastically more information, data, and money decided this is the right call. These decisions are not made in a box and the town (mayor/chamber of commerce) is always involved.

What if the reason more people don't stop in the town is because the narrowwness made it a difficult to visit the town?

People drastically more involved than any of us decided this is the correct course of action to revitalize the downtown.

Absolutely right. Very vile. Hopefully, the lawyers win this and ban binding clauses like this. However, small correction - Disney is claiming this should be handled in an arbitration court - ie, private. They doesn't mean they won't pay out for wrongful death, it just means the case isn't public and others won't benefit from the outcome. I'm not saying that's a good thing. Disney is absolutely in the wrong ans hopefully the courts decide clauses like this are illegal. The debator inside of me is also saying, I also probably wouldn't want this case being public.

But also onions release oils when the cell walls are cut so the more cut ones have a stronger flavor

Misleading statistic. This doesn't include parents/grandparents who buy houses and then put their kids name on the title. Nor does it include when parents pay for all their kids college expenses, or rent, or their cars... etc...
