Sounds cool, I’m tempted to try this out, but I’m wondering how this jives with the common wisdom that going to bed at the same time every night is important? And “No screens an hour before bed”—how do you know what “an hour before bed is” if you just go to bed when tired?
I don’t adhere to these guidelines strictly, which helps when they conflict. For example, if I’m tired before my usual bed time, then the “no screen rule” goes out the window because I won’t have trouble sleeping. And when I’m not tired by my usual bed time and haven’t been looking at a screen, then I have plenty of paperbacks to keep me company (or exercise, or cooking, etc.) before I eventually get tired and fall asleep.
Practically, this means that I don’t use screen after 9pm. I usually fall asleep between 9:30pm and 11:00pm, where the median is around 10:15pm or so. I guess this variance comes from different days, days when I do a lot of exercise or little, days with plenty of sun or just a bit, etc.
