Health/Wellness life hacks you’ve recently discovered?

My dentist recently mentioned I might have sleep apnea due to the wear pattern on my teeth which led me to digging and I have started taping my mouth shut and using nasal strips to open up breathing through my nose while sleeping and the difference has been tremendous.

Before it was a huge struggle even getting up in the morning and after lunch I really struggled focusing on work after my morning energy burned off, not to mention need an enormous amount of caffeine to get to the gym afterwards. Also would sleep in super late on the weekends which I assume was my body trying to make up for the poor sleep quality during the week even though I would get around 8 hours each night.

Since I implemented the mouth tape and nasal strips I’ve been waking up way more refreshed and have an even amount of energy throughout the day that I didn’t think was possible. Really been life changing. I’m also on the younger side at 29 and not overweight and take my fitness seriously so I didn’t think it would be possible for me to have an issue like this but just goes to show how important it is to stay in tune with your body when stuff starts feeling off.
I would seriously get a sleep study. While what you are doing it isn’t optimal . Reggie white died from sleep apnea supposedly . It is v serious
 
I have been doing cold plunges. 58 degrees . Up to 30 minutes. I feel great , have less inflammation, am more rested, think more clearly and just feel better emotionally
I asked earlier in the thread on saunas. May as well ask, is there a certain brand of plunge tubs you use?
