The comments so far seem to be in response to ways that phones and other tech distract us. I feel like the author glossed over a key part. Where before his experiment he would wake up tired and feeling hung over. To me this is a sign of poor sleep habits and/or waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle. I've had better sleep habits and have been waking up refreshed after I paid attention to the needs of my body. I go to bed at a consistent time, 10:30, fall asleep by 11, and wake up 7am. I've been doing it consistently now for the past 3 months. I have the phone alarm set and usually wake up a few minutes before it goes off. Phones are a distraction, but the real goal should be in learning to make them work for you. Going cold turkey feels like a bandaid solution to a larger problem of learning to change your habits.
- Starwatcher2001 10y agoI do similar, bed around 10pm and sleep until I wake naturally. I have my watch alarm set for 7:30am (just in case), but haven't needed it for months. I just wake up when my body is ready, usually around 5:30am. Not having an alarm jolting me awake and letting my body wake at the right time in my sleep cycle has made a big difference to the energy I have, especially at the start of the day. I hit the office at 6:30am, couple of golden hours to go deep without the phone ringing... and home every evening on time.
