I’ve always struggled to get enough sleep.
However, it didn’t exactly go to plan.
3 reasons why my New Year’s resolution to get more sleep failed
1.
Add dark January mornings on top, and I wasn’t waking up feeling at all refreshed.
If I missed the 11pm deadline by just a few minutes, I would feel like a failure.
I quickly lapsed into my erratic sleep schedule.
I had no time to adjust.
Instead, I should have eased myself into a new sleep routine.
Think of fixing your sleep schedule a bit like being jet-lagged, Dr Browning explains.
Because basically you are in a different time zone to the one you want to be in.
On the second night, go to bed at 11.20pm.
For example, traveling, work commitments, or social events.
Well, it’s not far from the truth in fact, it might be even longer.
It was unrealistic to think I could quit my nighthawk habits straight away.
