Disclaimer: I am not getting 8 hours consistently, but working on it... For me the most beneficial is to reduce the fear of missing out. Especially if you have kids, the tendency is to want to spend the evening hours when they are already in bed to "live your old life": game, watch movies, do other hobbies or activities. And then you go to bed too late. I am trying to accept that I can watch maybe 1 movie per month, watch maybe 2 series per year, and read at most 1 book per week in the time between ~20:00 and 22:00 that my kids are asleep and I can spend freely without impacting my 8 hours of sleep. So, every year 50 interesting movies come out. I'll never see 38 of them. I'll never read that interesting longread. I will never read Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem".
