The everpresent bad advice to get 8-9 or more hours of sleep definitely ruined my sleep experience for years when I'd keep trying and fail to do so.

- amelius 3y agoJust change that advice into: spend 8-9 hours in bed.
- quickthrower2 3y agoInput driven goals/habits are definitely better to stick to than result oriented ones.
- totallywrong 3y agoYeah as I get older my sleep cycle has naturally shorten. I wake up early most of the time, but come the weekend and that might be 2 or 3 hours later. Your body knows what you need, no need to force more bed time if you're getting proper rest.
- bjornasm 3y agoYeah agreed. You can get hung up on an idealization of a perfect nights sleep that is 8-9 hours, falling asleep at once, and not waking up untill morning, which is very rare and not at all nessesary for a good nights sleep. This will set you up for failure and lots of frustrations.
