My sleep improved once I started measuring using a whoop strap.
Within a few days of wearing the strap, it was clear to me that my 8 hours were ineffective 8 hours. I was accumulating significant debt every day and when I paid it off over the weekend, I felt energized again.
I recognized that every day is different and needed to change my environment, and consistency accordingly. Sleep is now a non-negotiable thing in my life.
- CharlesW 3y agoApple Watch is teaching me this lesson right now. Any success stories in terms of improving your ratio of sleep to in-bed time?
- nine_zeros 3y agoBesides the obvious less screen time in bed, the major ones for me were 1. Reducing alcohol consumption down to zero during week nights makes my percentage of rem sleep go up and percentage of light sleep go down 2. My deepest sleep is after 4 am. So dark blocking curtains help my sleep tremendously. 3. Certain workouts, such as light cardio, make my sleep and recovery better as opposed to others, such as playing a sport. 4. My ideal sleep temperature is between 68 and 70F. These are all I know so far.
