Nobody is in a position to question their own bodies when it comes to sleep. The more you do this, the worse it gets. Pretend you are born blind and deaf and have no concept what time or sleep is, what will you do about your sleep? Probably absolutely nothing, because you won’t be corrupted with media lies about sleep such as “you need your golden 8 hours”, “you must sleep uninterrupted” or whatever. Pretend you don’t know all this or have no interest because in order to sleep well, you must return to your pristine, virgin state like when you were a baby, when you have absolutely no such idea and no such concept and slept whenever you wanted. Ignorance is truly bliss, forget everything else and forget whatever you think your sleep should be. Drop all your expectations and stop circumventing your own body. Only your body knows best, not you. Good luck.

Have you tried allowing yourself to go to bed when you get that really strong sense of sleepiness close to the start of your sleep window?
