Protocols Leading up to Pregnancy

My partner and I plan to naturally conceive in about a year. Are there any protocols we should follow leading up to conception to maximize our reproductive health and health of the resulting embryo? My male partner consumes cannabis and hookah once a week. I consume caffeine daily. Do we need to quit for a few months or longer before we start trying?

Healthy Food on a Budget

Given all of the massive price increases for food recently, what do you think is the best way to eat healthy food on a budget? For example, where is it prudent to get something pasture raised/grass fed vs just getting the mass market version, or would you recommend some kind of a "half and half " approach to reduce expenses? Interested in foods like meats, fish and eggs.

Lucid dreaming

What factors affect duration of sleep

I have no problem falling asleep (usually within minutes) but I randomly get nights where I wake up in the middle of the night and just can't go back to sleep. I do daily morning sunlight viewing, stop caffeine ~8 hours before going to bed, workout, no food or bright lights for the last few hours of the day..etc but I get these random nights where I wake up and can't go back to sleep. You mention NSDR as a solution but i'm wondering if anything can be done to specifically improve sleep duration.
