I'm reading this book(Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker) right now. The number one piece of advice it provides is to set an alarm to go to bed and try to fall asleep at the same time every night, even on weekends. Other pieces of advice include lowering the temperature to 65°F at night(really), reduce or stop caffeine and alcohol intake, avoid screen time and light at night, and several other pieces of advice.
It's an okay book. Not the best I've read, but if you feel tired during the day, it's worth a read. My sleep quality has markedly increased since starting to read it.
- elric 6y agoI enjoyed the book. If you're interested, my comment history on HN contains a reference to i somewhere, where someone linked to serious criticism about many of the book's claims, and a reply to said criticism by Matthew Walker. Regarding the alarms: I find that consistency is much more important for mee than total hours of sleep. I'm much better on a consistent 7h/day than on 8h/day where my sleep/wake time moves around.
