How to fix your sleep schedule

Utilize the circadian rhythm

Your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, regulates sleep-wake cycles. To reset it, aim for consistent sleep and wake times. Research suggests that irregular sleep patterns can disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to poorer sleep quality.

Morning sunlight exposure

Helps regulate your circadian rhythm. Studies have shown that natural light in the morning helps advance your sleep-wake cycle, making it easier to wake up earlier and fall asleep at the desired time.

Implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

CBT-I is a structured program that helps address the thoughts and behaviors that disrupt sleep. It has strong evidence supporting its effectiveness in improving sleep patterns and addressing insomnia.

Apply sleep restriction therapy

This involves limiting the time you spend in bed to the actual amount of time you sleep, which can help consolidate sleep and reduce insomnia. Over time, you gradually increase your time in bed as sleep improves.

Control sleep environment

Studies suggest that a sleep-conducive environment—dark, cool, and quiet—improves sleep quality. The optimal temperature for sleep is typically around 65°F (18°C).

Avoid stimulants and disruptors

Caffeine can remain in your system for several hours and interfere with sleep. Limit intake, especially in the afternoon and evening. Similarly, alcohol can disrupt sleep cycles and reduce sleep quality.

Practice sleep hygiene

This includes regular physical exercise (preferably in the morning or early afternoon), avoiding heavy meals close to bedtime, and establishing a relaxing pre-sleep routine to signal to your body that it’s time to wind down.

Monitor and adjust sleep duration

Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. If you sleep more or less than this, it can affect your sleep-wake cycle. Consistent sleep duration helps stabilize your internal clock.

Im writing this the day, yesterday was really succesful. When i woke up, i immidiately did the first half of my work out. I did my skincare etc. and then played some games, but my parents said we're going shopping. The shopping was suprisingly calm and we joked a lot. I bought myself a salad. After we came back my sis was doing an aesthetic 'breakfast' (at 2PM LOL) for her competition (?), she took a pic of it and let us eat it. It was very yummy but i forgot what it is. Then i started reading Atomic Habits and finished a whole chapter, after that I went on a 10k steps walk and listenned to my history topic (so i was walking and studying, smart). When I came back I finished studying the topic and did the other part of my workout (HIIT). When i finished, it was already dark outside. So i mainly relaxed, ate the salad, and at 10 pm when i was going to sleep my sister came back with her boyfriend and she gave me a box of chicken! ofc i ate it lol.. but she also came back with a lot of cakes.. and my mom told to me to eat some of those. i didnt, but the next day i did (today)🥲

WORK OUT: done

FOOD RULES: done

STRETCHING: done

I planned to go to sleep early, wake up at 5:30 am, work out early etc. but sadly I couldn't because i had to wait for my sister to come back from work (2 hours after i was supposed to go to sleep). So, I woke up at 7am and washed my hair and showered. It took a whole hour! After washing my hair, i worked out - today was pilates, i only did half tho. Yeah, I should work out before showering BUT i take a long time in the bathroom and others wanted to get ready too, so i had to be smart and shower earlier. I did only the first 30 minutes of pilates and then stretched, I did gua sha too! Few hours later we were in the church for 2 hours and went to visit the graves of our family members. Then we went to visit my grandpa (dad's side) and it was fun ngl, we were talking and i finally didnt spend much time on my phone - instead we talked, a lot! (I'm an extreme introvert) Then we went to my grandma (mom's side), she had cake but i didn't eat any of it because im on a no sugar diet. It didn't make me sad tho, I didn't crave sugar that much today. We talked a lot too, and i didnt even take my phone! I felt sooo pretty and i actually accepted that im fr attractive (I have body dysmorphia disorder). I got two strawberry chocolate bars from my grandma (dad's side) and some cake from my grandpa (mom's side). After we came back home, i did the other part of my pilates. Then i relaxed and played DTI, did my skincare and read some books. It's sleep time now💤
