        Hi Steve!

        A critical component of having a good night’s sleep is building a strong sleep drive during the day, which is what you’re referring to. This can be done by continuing your day as planned (social events, going to the gym, etc), no daytime naps and only going to bed when you’re actually sleepy (constant yawning, eye lid sensations, head bobbing, etc). I think you’re on the right track with creating a sleep restriction window each night to allow your sleep drive to continue to build. Are you waking up at the same time each morning and getting out of bed shortly after awakening? Have you made other adjustments to your sleep or daily routine to compensate for a poor night’s sleep?
