To keep motivating myself to stay healthy I keep researching and trying new things such as a paleo diet, cold thermogenesis, various supplements, intermittent fasting, neurofeedback, and most recently a sleep induction mat. This all helps overcome boredom.

I've already started using melatonin microdose to adjust my sleep schedule, have started daily fish oil, and am looking into possible nootropics that fit within my (extremely limited) budget; so it's not a bad overall thought.

However, the ad copy on that sleep mat includes 'acupressure' and 'meridians', which immediately sets off my skeptic's alarm bells. I suspect I'd do better to finally find a decent zafu pillow to sit on when I meditate.
