Episode notes
Avoid Dictating Bedtime
- Avoid dictating your bedtime; it worsens insomnia by increasing anxiety.
- Instead, stay up until sleepy and enjoy relaxing activities.
Importance of Natural Sleep Patterns
- While we can manipulate sleep schedules in labs, real-life behavior and environmental factors play a significant role.
- Ignoring natural light-dark cycles and body clocks can have long-term health consequences.
Consistency over Perfection
- Aim for consistent sleep over a month, not nightly; slight variations are normal.
- Don't obsess over 'sleep debt'; your brain naturally compensates for lost sleep by increasing specific sleep stages.
