Trying to get better sleep

2023-04-20

Current problems I'm facing

  • I'd say I had no trouble with sleeping, but I'm a really light sleeper
  • I have inconsistent sleep schedules for the past few weeks, sometimes I wake up at 5 because I wanna feel productive, sometimes I wake up at 8 on the weekends
  • I dynamically adjust my sleep time, my alarm for this morning and the next morning may be different as I'm trying to hit at least 7 hours of sleep for the night
Leon Hendrix's Video on sleep
  • Video shows Leon facing insomnia issues
  • He tried to improve his sleep score by exercising in the morning, getting more momemnts of silence during the day , eating less or earlier for dinner
  • Conclusion: Look at the root of the sleep problem, behaviorual pattterns are tied to our identity and belief systems
Reflection and questions I have about sleep
  • Is it more important to get consistent amount of sleep everyday or consistent sleep and wake times?
  • What makes a person a light sleeper? Are they not in deep sleep most of the time?
  • Is it better to wake up later on the weekends?
  • How can I get rid of the dark circles under my eyes? It's always there no matter how long I sleep. Is there something wrong with my sleep that I don't know about? Or are there any other lifestyle habits that I'm not aware of that's causing the dark circles under my eyes
