I've never owned a skateboard. But back in the day, I loved waterskiing. Good exercise. Slalom and trick skiing. (Wake boards weren't a thing yet.) Old newspaper pic of me from the early 80's.

Very nice! My father used to ski pretty well, but not that well. I’ve never tried, I always drove the boat instead. I love to watch a good skier though, congratulations on the newspaper picture!
 
I think everyone pretty much covered the main points so I’m going to add something new: *use the chipper winch as much as you can and utilize redirects!!*
I will set up multiple redirects if I have to, to pull logs and brush piles around buildings or obstacles that stand between the chipper and the tree.
Save your backs, work smarter.

The biggest thing I'm surprised to see so little of in this thread is the importance of GOOD SLEEP.

Skip the woo-woo supplements and trend diets, that is where and when nature already has a built in mode for recovery and rebuilding.

(and yah, don't jump off stuff once you are older than like.... 20. Your knees don't get better with age)
 
I tend to sleep well, but I have friends that take Benadryl at bedtime when we're at big campout events (so they can sleep despite the late night partiers.)

We do have an air purifier in the bedroom. Run it at night just for the white noise. Puts me to sleep in an instant.
 
YouTube, black screen sleep music.

Cut out screens approaching bed time.

Lower lights closing in on bed time.

Only use the bed for sleeping and intimate times.

Dr. Alex Huberman (pH.D) says early morning sun to your eyes ( no glasses or windows helps a person wind down due to hormonal clock activation.

A bed time meditation might help.

What do you recommend? I've tried Tylenol and advil PM both. Not the best results with either.

I got a 15 pill prescription of Trazadone over 2 yrs ago and still have some left. Don’t want to be dependent and the morning after is groggy, but it breaks the cycle if need be and keeps the crazies away. Nyquil occasionally but same side effects.
 
I don’t use anymore, but while sleeping under the influence of cannabis, your body does not go into REM sleep, and you may wake up at 3 am with the munchies. I quit using regularly a long time ago, I’ve tried it occasionally since, it gives me BAD anxiety, and makes sleep even harder to come by.

Results may vary. I'm not a frequent user, but on occasion when I feel like I haven't been getting good sleeps I'll pop a gummy an hour or so before bed and I crash hard. Never woke up with munchies and usually feel more refreshed (but not always).

My wife eats gummy for sleep only and works good for her
Not a daily thing so her body doesn’t build a tolerance

You mean that early morning sun on the naked eye helps you fall asleep later in the day?
 
One of the biggest things is getting your body to associate bed with sleep and nothing else. No phones, no TV, no books. If it's really necessary, no sex at bedtime either. Stay out of the bedroom until you're ready for sleep and once you make the decision it's lights off, brain off. White noise like a fan or YouTube track can help some people. Melatonin can help. But really it's all about association.

One thing I've also found successful is directed dreaming. Not quite the same as a lucid dream, where you become aware of the dream after it's started. Directed dreaming (my definition) is where you use the consciousness you have between closing your eyes and sleep to start a dream sequence that can carry you through to REM sleep. I've had nights where I've consciously decided I'm a pirate sailing the high seas and fill in however many details I need to until my subconscious takes over and finishes constructing the dream. It works most of the time.
 
Levi, try reading a physical book (pick a good one would ya) when you are starting to get a bit tired and ready for bed.

I'm an edible guy myself but if you add a book, its over.

Pros and cons of melatonin

Melatonin is generally safe for short-term use but can cause side effects.

I forget why Alex Huberman cautioned about melatonin supplementation. I just remember him mentioning it in a podcast.
