      Hi I have been using my sleep window for a couple weeks now. I’m just wondering when you have to stay up a couple hours past your bedtime due to family issues, do you then adjust your wake up time accordingly or do you still have to get up at the same time even though your number of hours would be reduced?

        Greetings
        You should get up at the same time each day regardless of how long you slept. This way you are able to build sleep drive so you get sufficiently sleepy at your regular bedtime. Your sleep drive depends on the amount of hours spent awake continously, ideally you want to go to bed after at least 16-17 hours awake. Best wishes to you…
