Agreeing with all the rec for sleep headband style headphones. I use this one and love it, even as a side sleeper, but there are plenty of options.
You might try working out at home so that you don’t have to go to the gym. I dont know if this will help. You wont have to go to a gym. For the last few months, I have been steadily adjusting my diet to healthier choice. It’s crazy how simple it is. Here are some examples Instead of something rolled in a tortilla (up to 200 cal just for the tortilla), put it in a lettuce leaf (only 15 calories) Nutrition is a huge part of the battle due to calorie deficit. The main goal is to burn more calories than you are putting in your body. A great place to start with changing up your calorie intake is a book called “ The Ultimate Anabolic Cookbook By Greg Doucette.” The good news is that you don’t even have to buy the book. There is a free copy of it on archive.org.you just have to make a free account, but that is it. https://archive.org/details/the-ultimate-anabolic-cookbook-by-greg-doucette_202203 If you are planning on going to nursing school anyway, there are ALOT OF BOOKS in here that will benefit you! 2. Do u have some type of watch (Apple, etc) to count your steps? I am sure in a 12 hour shift, you are walking more than 10,009 steps. That is already half the battle. 3. Make sure uou are getting 6 - 8 hours of rest. If u r a day sleeper and need to get more sleep. We all day sleepers know that means blocking out every drop of sunlight that tries to sneak into your house!! You can do this several ways. 1., get foam insulation for the windows. Here is an example: (u can find it cheaper at Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc, this is just an example) https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/sealtech-heavy-duty-36-ft-x-10-ft-3mm-thick-reflective-insulation-roll-for-soundproofing-thermal-shield-use-2403300?crmid=6663814901&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pmax&utm_campaign=tsc0_sea_tsc_cat_search_sch_us_cvr&utm_content=sku_na&adtype=pla&campaignid=22258948701&device=m&product_channel=online&product_id=2403300&store_code=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22269431188&gbraid=0AAAAADnTm22mIxtcGRsUMWuEPli_yi7_O&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoZWm-dmQlQMVxi3UAR3qfQE1EAQYBiABEgJNC_D_BwE Get an eye mask. I love this one from musicozy as it had by ear buds for me to turn on white noise to keep out “day noises.” MUSICOZY Sleep Headphones... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S2WXBP8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Do u need melatonin to help you sleep, too? Also, make sure you get a relaxing shower before bed time. As a couple, are you all in a position to help you “relax” before sleep? I don’t want details. It’s just a thought to help u relax. Here is my play list of at home exercises I have been doing the past week. They are free. 1 is man flow yoga and he is helping relax my l3 - s1 herniated discs, the rest are Chloe ting videos. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_HtO9blqN3BkTIU8i6OoXJOtq2B5620a&si=QglDHucRQdWxJqOe There are several YouTubers I have been following as they have “real world” solutions to fit into every day life, don’t cost a fortune, and are realistic. @My6monthbodytransdormation - I attached the link with her video explaining everything she did her way. You deserve to hear it directly from her. She was an inspiration for me! https://youtu.be/bxX4Nx0KI0?is=tPdK8i0vyPahds2 DR MIKE DIAMONDS - he is a lot of free info but he also has a paid course. Here is a video on how to drop weight immediately! https://youtu.be/nBjYy0iaR20?is=31lty-0u25vIcuCb A lot of people are eating “one meal a day.” Or (OMAD). They are making every drop of that meal count, tho. The goal of OMAD is to allow fasting to help with the weight loss. There isn’t enough room in this one comment to tell you about all of the benefits of fasting. There is SO MUCH research into weight loss. Definitely checkout r/loseit & r/nightshift.
