Consistent Wake-Up Times
- Prioritize consistent wake-up times over evening routines for better sleep.
- Waking up at the same time daily builds predictable sleep pressure and regulates your circadian rhythm.
Avoid Lying In
- Avoid lying in, especially on weekends, as it disrupts your sleep patterns.
- Lying in is not restorative; it weakens your sleep drive and perpetuates the need for more.
Sleep Drive and Consistency
- Inconsistent wake-up times confuse your brain's sleep-wake cycle.
- Sleeping in disrupts your natural sleep drive and makes it harder to feel sleepy at the right times.
