My sleep recently became reliably better after getting a sleep mask (which seems like it should be “the ultimate blackout curtain.”)
Previously, I was the sort of person who’s body tends to wake up at sunrise… and also definitely the sort of person who’s body wants to fall asleep ~2am. I tried altering my sleep schedule a bunch, but it didn’t improve much at all until a) about 5 years ago when I finally got a job that just let me wake up at 10am, such that going to bed at 2am was reasonable, and then b) 3 years ago, when I got complete blackout curtains, and then more recently got a sleep mask after moving to a house where blackout curtains were impractical.
I probably agree with “you actually need to get up at the same time every day”, but, showing up for a day-job seems like it should automatically do that?
I basically probably endorse this for you, but would also suggest whether you could do more automatic red-shifting and dimming of your lights in the evening.
