The only way i was ever able to get my sleep under control was by going through a full cycle… It didn’t last very long(about a month) but it gave me a sense of power over my sleep schedule when it came to things i truly cared about and so far this has led to me being much more effective.
Step 1: Stay up progressively later each night while sleeping as long as you can each night/day.(this should take about 4-7 days)
Step 2: Once you get within two hours of your desired sleep target time, simply lie in bed slightly earlier in the day and try to focus on memory’s rather than new thoughts.
Step 3: Slowly repeat step 2 over the next few weeks, while transitioning to more complex thoughts while lieing in bed.
The locus of control we feel for sleep is IMMENSELY important according to my research and my personal experience and i just thought id share my experience in defining my own schedule on my own terms.
