      Hi everyone,

      My biggest challenge right now is sleeping 8 hours one night and 1-2 hours the next. I’m following a strict sleep window of 12:30-8:00 am which seems to be working, I’m just looking to break this very annoying cycle. I’ve only been following it for about 2 weeks now so I’m giving it time and my body time to catch up to what’s going on. I know it’ll work and my cycle will be broken eventually!

        Welcome to the forum! It’s good to hear that you have started implementing a sleep window to build sleep drive and reduce nighttime wakefulness — and that you recognize it will likely take longer than two weeks for you to adapt to the new window and experience improvements in your sleep!

        Those rollercoaster nights are often associated with allotting too much time for sleep/having a sleep window that is a bit too long. Here’s a video about this that might be helpful: How to stop the sleep roller coaster and make sleep more consistent and more predictable.
