Thanks. During sleep restriction, how many days do the extreme fatigue/loopiness usually last?
Sleep restriction doesn’t usually lead to less sleep — so the technique itself rarely leads to extreme fatigue (when implemented correctly, sleep restriction always gives you at least as much time in bed as you usually spend asleep).
When combined with stimulus control, it can take a few weeks for sleep to noticeably improve — although many people enjoy improvements sooner.

Put simply, sleep restriction is implemented for as long as needed – but it is constantly adapted and updated based on progress. So, if you start sleep restriction by observing a sleep window of six hours and you get to the point where you are sleeping for five-and-a-half hours on a consistent basis, you would lengthen your sleep window by 15 minutes. Then, when you are consistently getting more sleep, you extend the sleep window further.
Eventually, you will get to the point where extending the sleep window doesn’t lead to more sleep, and that’s usually when you have determined your ideal sleep window. By this stage, you will find yourself naturally following a regular and appropriate sleep window and probably not even consider yourself to be implementing sleep restriction.

Thanks. Does it get harder the first week of srt ? What’s the average amount of time before people increase time in bed?
Everyone is different, I really couldn’t give you an average. Also, I would suggest that trying to measure your progress against that of others isn’t always constructive!
