    I’m pretty sure humans can learn how to sleep well. That’s what babies do after all.

    Newborns sleep only like 1 or 2 hours, then wake up for a bit, then sleep again for 1 or 2 hours and so on. It takes them months or years to get it right.

    If a baby can learn it, you can probably learn it as well.

    Also, there are sleep labs btw… They monitor you during sleep and give advice, but I don’t like the concept, because it’s not your usual bedroom and therefore flawed.

      Bruh, lmao I totally get the sentiment you’re going for but babies are famously the best at learning things.

          Yeah on top of learning language, learning how to sleep, learning to walk, eat, hell how to coordinate their whole body. For 5 years that’s incredible.

            Also it’s more like 2-3 years for the pooping for most I believe. Potty training at 2 years or just before it is pretty common.

      I had a sleep study this year that was take-home, actually. They show you how to set up the device in the office and then you bring it back to them the next day for analysis.
