    After 3 days of 5.5 hours of sleep, and close to 30 hours of work, passed out earlier than expected and got 7 hours of sleep! Along with my most amount of REM to date [2.5 hours].

    Thinking I’ll stick with the 12-7 if I can, but we’ll see.

    Thanks Scott!

    Honestly, the whoop has made sleep easier for me. Never could get into sleep diaries and I think honestly filing out a diary about sleep gives me more anxiety than a sleep band.

    Originally looking into sleep restriction to get rid of middle of the night wake ups, retrain my brain to sleep through an entire night. [middle of the night wake ups that last a while give me anxiety]

    Original sleep: In bed 11:30 to 8. Slept 6.5

    This week: In bed 12 to 7. Slept 5.5

    [Based on whoop data]

    Subjectively, this week’s sleep, while more tiring, felt relieving to be waking up closer to my actual wake up time. My body wasn’t losing out on much deep sleep as well [at least according to whoop]

    My question is about next steps. Do I just adjust the going to bed time or the wake up time? How efficient should I be before I move my times around?

    Appreciate any feedback and/or resources!
