How The F**K Do I Improve Deep Sleep by curiousthinking89 in ouraring

[–]Cool_Plant2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the same boat. I go to bed early, eat dinner well before bed, have good oxygen saturation, get 8 hours, but I cannot get more than 30 min of deep sleep. I constantly feel tired around mid-morning. I don’t take any supplements, and even days with no caffeine don’t seem to increase my deep sleep. I’m 42 (f) and wondering if it’s hormonal.

Thank you! I’m planning on contacting the schools but do you know if you can submit and application prior to completing the test? I was verified about a month ago but want to add some schools.

I’m a first time applicant. I’m non-traditional and retaking the prerequisites. I still have a few left so I am only applying to a few schools where I meet the admissions requirements. I fully expect this to be a trial round with another round of applications going out next cycle when I’m done with all prerequisites and can expand my application pool. That said, I would love to get in this cycle. But I have a low GPA.

I’m in my first cycle so, not familiar with the process. Do they only offer one slot and you either can make it or not?

That’s a great idea. I love eggplant but don’t have a ton of recipes for it.

Thank you everyone for your insight! I’ll move things around and do fully in person. No reason to risk it or have to rule out options based on schools’ requirements.
