How Long Should I Spend in Bed?
Manage episode 418943314 series 3519709
In the End Insomnia System, the period you set aside for sleep each night is called your “sleep window.”
Establishing a consistent sleep window involves three main guidelines:
- Spend the right amount of time in bed.
- Get out of bed at approximately the same time every day.
- Avoid long naps.
These practices are crucial for regulating sleep patterns and improving sleep quality.
Here’s a brief overview of why each is important and what it does for you:
- Spending the right amount of time in bed affects your sleep drive.
- Waking up at the same time every day influences your circadian rhythm.
- Avoiding long naps preserves your sleep window, impacting both sleep drive and circadian rhythm.
Let’s break these down further.
