Think about getting a Fitbit so you can track your sleep. You'll find that the average person is awake more than an hour every night in a combination of small bursts that you likely won't remember. As a result, to get your recommended 8 hours of sleep, you need to try to aim for 9 actually.

If you are like me and have anxiety either following filming or in anticipation for the day ahead, try this breathing exercise that will help you fall asleep more quickly. Without this it takes me at times an hour and a half before I'll fall asleep. https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/How-Fall-Asleep-Right-Away-36597887

Finally, keep your smartphone out of your bedroom. Buy an alarm clock. I find this tough but scrolling through social media keeps your brain firing and can slow down your ability to place your brain at rest.

And then everything else Roxanne said above is solid advice. Best of luck!

This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you!

I've made my living over the last four years shooting commercials and using variable ND filters. I'm not filming Superbowl commercials or anything, but I've never had a client notice any skin tone issues because of variable ND's. Of course, I eventually plan to graduate from them to better filters, but starting out, they've worked just fine for me.

Oh, wow. Ok. I just learned something new. Thanks for sharing and correcting me on that!
