Did you start the new routine because you wanted some specific effect or because you thought you "should" for some abstract/cultural reason? I'd give it more than a month to adapt, but you should try to identify some specific benefits you want to achieve. Looking for a general sense of "wellness" or "alertness" is going to be hard to affirm and credit. But you can watch for and recognize more specific goals like you wake less groggy, fall asleep more easily, exercise more effectively, work with more lasting focus, stay more composed in trying situations, etc. The goals will be personal. And if you weren't struggling with anything that better sleep might fix, maybe it's true that you don't need it!
