After completing Martin’s two week course, I established a sleep window with TIB between 11:45 pm and 6:00 am ( 6 hr and 15 min window). After 1 week I still go to sleep right away but am wide awake at about 3am – thereafter fractured light sleep until 6 am. I am therefore going to reduce my window by 15 mins. I find I wake up often before 6 am so can I reduce my wake up time to 5:45 am instead of changing my go to bed time to midnight or does it matter.Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate it.
.Hello and greetings!
A difference of 15 minutes is really not a lot so it is up to you whether you want to implement them. You should select a sleep window that fits your current lifestyle. But that said, a wake time of between 6-8 am is best because you can then take advantage of sunrise to really anchor your get out of bed time by exposing yourself to sunlight after getting out of bed. Whatever you choose, it’s a good idea to stick to it for at least 2 weeks to give time for your body to respond. Good luck to you and best wishes!The start and end time matter far less than the duration of the sleep window and how consistent you are with implementation — so, I’d suggest choosing a start time and end time that you feel you’d be able to implement most consistently!
I hope this helps!
