Reddit reviews Sleep Smarter: 21 Proven Tips to Sleep Your Way To a Better Body, Better Health and Bigger Success

• use fl.ux and night shift for your laptop and phone respectively. set them to turn on automatically.
  
• avoid using pc an hour before bed, and try using melatonin (3mg, it won't harm you. I use 10mg but the recommended sweet spot is 3mg I believe).
  
• if you have any sort of caffeine after about 1-2 pm, take a magnesium supplement. it helps process the caffeine faster (I have a really low caf tolerance and can sleep within an hour of taking it if i use magnesium. garlic also helps)
  
• make sure your room is dark, rather than just using an eyemask. I used an eyemask for years, but recently got blackout curtains, and it made a HUGE difference in sleep quality. also make sure things like alarm clocks or small bits of blue/green light are covered up.

> "You feel like you're being studied...like you're prey." (Last sentence of the article)

Addressed here

> This seems to be a common feeling amongst your subjects/targets/victims

Why are you calling women who are being hit on that? "Target" was a word used by people who did an outdated pickup system called Mystery Method from around 2002-2009. No one uses those words anymore. And I agree it's weird. We call them "women."

If it's so common, then why do the vast majority of our videos feature girls who give consent to be in them? Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

> you're inflating your egos,

I meditate 20 minutes a day to decrease the ego and read Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday. What have you done for you ego?

> fulfilling your desires

What's wrong with that? It's a beautiful thing for people to fulfill their desires in their career, hobbies, dating, families, etc.

> honing your "skills" at the expense of unwilling and unknowing participants

Honing our skills is through practice, yes. Only about 5% of our interactions are filmed. In most of those, the girls were told afterward, here's an example

And then if you're referring to pickup in general, they know we're hitting on them, and we know how to calibrate. One of the main tenets we teach is empathy (verbal and non-verbal).

> sounds like hunting prey to me

I can't control how you think of men talking to women.

> If you are making people feel this way, how do you keep doing what you're doing

No one even knows if the quote from that lady is about us or about Canada Creep. The writers intentionally obfuscated and used the association fallacy to cause an angry reaction (anger is the most viral emotion). I keep doing what I'm doing because I know, and everyone who is familiar with us knows, that we are making the world a better place by helping men evolve.

> [how do you] sleep at night?

Biggest things for me were setting cortisol rhythm early in the morning (tea, exercise, sunlight) and then getting blackout curtains, magnesium, and blue blocker glasses for nighttime. Learned all that and more from Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson
