Sleeping Patterns
You don’t have Insomnia, you have a messed up sleeping pattern.
I’ve had a pretty messed up sleeping schedule for some time now and last week I tried to fix this. I set an alarm for 6am and then another at 7.15. I would be woken up by the first alarm then I would let myself sleep the extra hour after getting a glass of water. Being awake I reckon was enough to slowly acclimatize myself to one day actually getting up at 6am.
In 4 hour body there is a section completely dedicated to getting a perfects night sleep which I’d read. However I believe it is more simple than that. Just forcing myself up early enough means I was actually tired when I go to sleep, which makes all the difference (Also some stuff on getting sunlight).
This was going great, I actually was feeling good during the day and having no problem sleeping. Then work got the better of me. I got home at 2am one night then the next few I was up until midnight. So I reverted back to my bad ways.
I’m going to start again tonight because waking up early has so many benefits. It feels like the day is wasted when you sleep in and over sleeping makes you drowsy.
This method worked almost instantly, however I don’t really know how to work around the late nights at work.
