Is it common to experience more sleep disruption when first starting sleep restriction? I started it earlier this week and prior it to I usually have about 4 nights of good sleep followed by one night of poor sleep. It’s now alternating nightly.
It’s making it hard for me to keep my confidence and optimism up.
Thanks!
Congratulations getting started with sleep restriction!
As you have experienced, sleep can temporarily get a bit worse due to the monitoring that tends to occur whenever we make such a change. If you continue to observe a consistent and appropriate sleep window, your sleep will become more consistent over time as you adjust to the new schedule.
I hope this helps!

If my sleep efficiency hasn’t improved after the first week do I then reduce my sleep window further? It’s currently 11.45-5.45 and it’s already a struggle to get to the start of it!
Yesterday was the first time that while relaxing prior to going to bed, that I felt a huge surge of adrenaline and my heart start racing. This doesnt usually occur until I get in to bed and even then is less noticeable.
