You also seem to sleep an hour more, so some changes you experienced might be due to that.
- haswell 4y agoPrior to implementing bigger changes, I tried many things to make my late nights “work”, including trying to sleep more. Sleeping longer while going to bed later didn’t help much with quality (deep and REM phases were poor/short), and was also difficult to achieve for practical reasons. I took about 3 months to fully shift the schedule, and I was tracking stats along the way. I started to notice improvements once my average bedtime was closer to midnight. Once I hit that point, I kept shifting earlier because I wanted the benefit of the morning solitude that comes with getting up earlier. But sleep quality kept improving as well.
