The anxiety of not catching the train to university did it for me. Go to sleep at midnight. Wake up at 5:30 to get ready.I manage to hold up for the five days of courses.
Saturdays though? A nuke could go off and I wouldn't wake up.
You need go to bed at 8 PM and get up at 5 AM though
Exercise is key
I just made a conscious decision to switch about 2 weeks ago. I used to go to bed at midnight and wake up at 8:30. I now go to bed at 10:30 and wake up at 7:30 so I have time to hit the gym before work.
As you get older you get tired more easily so you naturally start going to bed earlier. This has the consequences of raising earlier.
Get a kitten or a puppy. My mom's puppy started insisting on curling up with me and, out of deference to the little guy, I catch myself resisting moving, so as not to to smash him or wake him up. Slept clean through the night a few nights in a row. I never sleep easily. Not in almost 60 years. I suppose, to some degree, sleeping with a significant other had similar therapeutic qualities but, over time, people are just bigger and you wind up fighting for covers and the like.
Never had any issue falling asleep anywhere between midnight and 8 a.m. and still getting a full restful 6 to 9 hour sleep when I worked late or overnight shifts. Now I work 8-5 because that is where the well paying jobs are and I've been sleep deprived for a couple decades.
Falling asleep in the evening to early night just doesn't work for me for whatever reason. I tried going to bed at 10:00 for a year with only a few successes that meant I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep.
Give yourself permission to go to bed at 10 PM.
I sleep at 11 or sometimes midnight and wake up at 3:30
I get up very early, and routinely have to sleep before sunset. I set an alarm for 1 hour before bed. That's when I need to stop whatever I'm doing, get dishes finished, set up my kettle, etc. Everything should be ready for my dead ass at 04:15, so I don't have to think at all. Just move, no thinking.
Just an alarm clock is enough. Or doing it the fancy way with phones, they even say when your bedtime is starting.
Yes, the surgery is done with an ice pick.
