Alternatively, I can stay up until 3AM playing video games and doom scrolling and then be irritable all day as I slam coffee after coffee.
Use a medical tape to shut your mouth while sleeping
I.e wake up after nightmares about suffocation
Well, I’m hitting the avoid exercise recommendation.
Do not use a window for sunlight?! How else am I to obtain sunlight?
I’ll add a very, very important thing. Use an app to kill the blue light coming off your screen(s). Notice how when you see a TV screen from the street or behind curtains it’s always blue?
Notice how the dawn starts out bluish and dusk goes red? The blue light is energizing you, telling you to be awake.
The likely reason they say to not view through a window is because you won’t get any vitamin D through a window and it also reduces the brightness compared to being outside. Get the app Lux on your phone which can measure brightness and it’s a phenomenal difference how much brighter it is outside without really seeming like it
Strange that they don’t mention bimodal sleep (waking for an hour or two in the middle of the night).
An interesting observation, but I track my sleep with a Garmin smartwatch.
I do have to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom (not 1 or two hours, but 10 minutes tops), and my heart rate hits the nighttime low right after going back to sleep; my “body battery” ramps up after that point, too.
Anecdotally, this seems like a good thing to be happening.
