Wanted to give an update. Slept continuous for 5 hrs last night. Took me under an hr to get to sleep, it may have even been 30mins.
I took some advice from one of the videos regarding preparing your space beforehand for if you have to get out of bed. I was looking at a book before bed and when I decided to go to bed, I just left it open on the couch saying that I expected to be coming back to look at it if I couldn’t sleep.
I also added the 1 hr of buffer before my sleep window, that if I got tired during that time I could go to bed. I ended up going to bed about 30mins early.
I did pretty good yesterday as far as tiredness and getting things done. I tried to keep moving most the day and this held off most of the fatigue or sleepiness. Telling myself before bed that if I couldn’t sleep, I knew I could still have a pretty good day, may have been helpful.
I don’t know if it helped but I also did the method where you try to keep your eyes open in the dark and try to stay awake.
I have woken up at 5:30a the last 2 mornings so that is my get up time. Eventually I want it to be 7:30a. I see how you can move up your go to sleep time gradually, but how does the get up time adjust. Will you just at some point start sleeping longer? It just seems like your body will get used to that time and want to wake up then.
Also, how bad is it to lay down for 10-15min to rest your eyes after breakfast? Not a nap, just like a little rest. I seem to get tired in the morning time after I have been up for a few hours.
I attempted to go to sleep around 11p after some yawning but that didn’t work so I got up. Not sure what time I tried again maybe after 12p but prob didn’t get to sleep till 1a. I wasn’t really having anxiety or worry so I just laid there till I fell asleep. Then I did wake up at some point, and was able to get to sleep without getting up. I think I only got 3 hrs of sleep.
