Episode notes
Perception Shapes Sleep Outcomes
- Perception of sleep often affects daytime performance as much as actual sleep quality.
- Stress about sleep can create a self-reinforcing cycle that worsens perceived sleep.
Fix Your Wake Time First
- Start your day at the same time every day to give your body consistent time cues.
- Use regular meal and light exposure timing to entrain your circadian rhythm.
Make Exercise Mandatory
- Make exercise non-negotiable and treat it like brushing your teeth.
- Increase duration or intensity if sleep remains poor; more movement creates stronger sleep drive.
