> just fucking sleep at the same time every night.
I’ve had excellent success doing the exact opposite. I get up at the same time every morning: 4:30AM (have been doing this for a decade now). I want to be asleep within 5 minutes of laying down in bed. If that’s not possible, I stay awake until it is.
I usually go to sleep between 9 and 9:30PM. Every once in a while I stay up until 11 or 12 or fall fast asleep at 8. Once every few months I’ll sleep in until 7:30AM.
The biggest advantage to me is that I’ve made no other lifestyle changes. I’ll drink a coffee at 4PM, have an awful cheap bed, use screens until I’m ready to sleep, don’t need any substances to fall asleep, etc. I just sleep when I’m tired.
- cercatrova 6y agoThat's interesting. My biggest struggle is waking up at the same time, how do you just not stay in bed or indefinitely snooze?
- paulcole 6y agoI just don’t do it. Alarm goes off means I get out of bed immediately.
- cercatrova 6y agoYeah makes sense. For me that never works so I just control the sleep time instead.
