GIVE YOUR SLEEP SCHEDULE 10 DAYS TO ‘CLICK’
The sleep hacks so far have required adapting to new sleep schedules.
When you first adopt a new sleep habit, like waking up at 6am every morning, you will struggle and feel tired.
But keep it up for a while.
It sometimes takes 7-10 days for a new schedule to “click”.
One older study followed six 8-hour sleepers for over a year.
Once every 5 weeks the subjects reduced their sleep by 30m. Started at 8 hours, then 7.5, 7.0, 6.5, etc…
All subjects reported that every time they reduced sleep by 30m the first 7-10 days were difficult.
But after 7-10 days their energy levels “clicked.”
Programming new sleep habits can be difficult.
Go gradually if possible and give each incremental change a few days to click.
