All good tips. Mine is if you don’t live alone. I did nights with 6 kids and a husband. I never who would be home at any point in day. I got a good lock for our bedroom door. When I hunker down for a sleep I don’t have to worry that someone left the door unlocked and I’m gonna get robbed in my sleep My house might get robbed but i guess I feel safer sleeping with my area secured.
Plus kids who could see the sign on door saying moms sleeping and still tried…no luck. Lol
Ours is a keypad so my husband could always get in room if necessary
Also with phone. I put it on do not disturb. But because I have kids I had it so the school and my husband could get through. No other calls though
For me getting my brain to shut down helped. So knowing if kids school needed me I could be reached. My kids knew to hit dad up first with calls too
Good luck

If you can’t get blinds or curtains right away get a good sleep mask.

Reply to LPT: Keep narcan on you, you never know when it might save a life! Secondary tip, don't buy Narcan because many states have it available for free at their mental health agencies. by Allprofile
It’s free in Canada.
If you do Narcan someone don’t hover. Step out of range. Many people after having been Narcaned will wake up volatile. It’s a reaction from being high to having that high totally taken away.
So just be aware they can come up swinging.

Don’t drink a lot after 3 am. You will have to pee less during sleep time
