Unearthing Sleeping Habits & Rituals That Helped Me Sleep Easier, Faster and Curb Insomnia (💤 + 🌧️)

Joey Montano — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 01:45:00 -0400

My voice puts people to sleep. But I can't use that voice for my own sleep. I reveal what I did to turn my consistent insomnia and 90+ minutes time to sleep down to 10-20 over the last decade. It's not easy, but gradual change is possible, I hope this helps you on your journey to quality sleep. I've included two sections:

My daily ritual for weekdays and weekends.
The specific habits and tweaks made that have helped me get decent sleep for about 90% of my nights. Still not a full cure for insomnia, but going from 2/10 sleep to 7-9 range consistently isn't anything to sneeze at imo.

Please remember: Droolish is a sleep and relaxation podcast focused on varied subjects with the goal to help remove insomnia, stop mind chattering, and help you fall to sleep.

About Droolish: Droolish is a sleep and relaxation podcast, often best consumed to slaughter mind-chatter and curb your insomnia. Take a look at the episode list if you have a chance, if something sounds interesting or useful, listen to that first (IMO). My voice is yawn-inducing (apparently to some), so I decided to create a podcast dedicated to helping those with sleeping problems fall asleep. Subjects vary based on what's on my mind, but I hope to be engaging enough to keep initial interest while the background sounds and my voice assist you to sleep.

*Note: I'm qualifying this as AMSR due to my goal of wanting to use sounds and my voice to help calm insomnia and to help you relax and go to sleep. *

Coronavirus AKA: COVID-19 💤 + 🌧️

Joey Montano — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 18:00:00 -0400

This is likely the first and last time I talk about coronavirus. I rarely talk about things in a preachy manner but we really are capable of changing the future and limiting loss.

First 30: Coronavirus talk, impact on lives, and the actual likilhood of knowing someone who was close to someone that perished because of COVID-19.

Probably not for first time listeners and maybe some repeated listeners, but this is important (likely at the expense of some early ZZzz). I do talk about randomish stuff after the 30 minute mark.

Stop Mind Racing/Running Thoughts for Insomnia [💤 + 🌧️]

Joey Montano — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 12:45:00 -0500

It's time to tackle the biggest elephant in the room in regards to insomnia: mind-chatter (aka: mind-racing or running thoughts). Sometimes our minds race to the point where we cannot sleep and likely obsess about insomnia while suffering from insomnia. While these aren't full cures, I believe this is a good foundation for curbing insomnia. Remember, this is a sleep and relaxation podcast:

This is best suited for anyone that has insomnia, needs sleep, or just wants to get their mind off their day.

My Whole30 Cleanse Experience (does it really work?) Did my sleep quality improve? [💤 + find out]

Joey Montano — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 13:15:00 -0500

My wife convinced me to join her on the Whole30 Diet / Cleanse to kickoff the new year. I've done other programs like Keto before but this time I kept track of my results, sleeping habits, weight,etc. Whole30 focuses on eating real food without random chemicals and preservatives to help detox your body.

How did I fair? Did my sleep quality improve? Is this diet right for you? I'm not Nostradamus, but I'll do my best to talk about my experience. Remember, this is a sleep and relaxation podcast: This is best suited for anyone that has insomnia, needs sleep, or just wants to get their mind off their day. My sleeping results start at the 17:12 mark

Home Remedies Tested (Wart Removal & Sore Throats) [they work 🌧️]

Joey Montano — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0400

Home remedies are something I've used when I was very broke in my early 20s. Surprisingly, they've worked well. I wanted to account for the few times I used homemade remedies that have worked and offer my logic behind doing it. I still use some of these to this day. Why? Because it's damn cheaper and more effective than the alternatives, seriously. Don't forget to not listen too closely, this is a sleep & relaxation podcast. Rain sounds & soothing noise to help you calm down and destress. Sleep easy.

If you can't sleep, give this sleep and relaxation podcast a shot. I can't guarantee you'll sleep fast, but my voice tends to make people yawn and that's a good sign (for the podcast).

Note: I'm qualifying this as AMSR due to my goal of using sounds and my voice to help calm insomnia, relieve stress, and to help sleep with ease.
