So far what I’ve done is working.

However:

I have chronic stress, so following the tips about restricting sleep doesn’t that cause more stress to an already stressed body?

I’ve set a time for 10pm to 5 am. I am super tired when i wake up regardless if I had a good nights sleep.

Glad to hear that what you’ve been doing seems to be working — would you like to share those techniques with us?

The phrase “sleep restriction” is confusing since it implies we are restricting sleep but we are not! Rather, we are restricting prolonged wakefulness by allotting an appropriate amount of time for sleep. Since the amount of time we allot for sleep should always be a little longer than our average nightly sleep duration, it shouldn’t restrict sleep.

It sounds as though you settled on a sleep window that is seven hours long. If you think about your sleep over the past couple of weeks, what would you say your average nightly sleep duration was?
