It’s been a week since I started trying to get my sleep in order. The past two days I’ve felt pretty good upon waking up. I think part me of is starting to get used to it. I also moved my alarm to go off 15 minutes after my wake up time and I think that has been a big help (I’ve always been able to get up at a consistent time without an alarm for the most part).
Outside of that I watched this video from Bryan Johnson: How I FIXED My Terrible Sleep - 10 Habits and have been trying to use the advice (why I started trying to get consistent with my sleep). I watched it because I’m trying to be better about accepting sleep as important and that not getting enough/good quality sleep is a big problem in my life.
His 10 habits:
1.) identify yourself as a professional sleeper
2.)consistent bedtime
3.) wind-down routine
4.) eat early
5.)avoid stimulants
6.) regulate evening light
7.) optimize temperature for sleep
8.) have a peaceful sleep environment
9.) get morning light
10.) gather data
I’ve been doing the 1st, 2nd, and 4th habit fairly well. I’ve avoided stimulants for a while now so that’s no real concern. The other stuff I’m trying to figure out.
