Consistent Sleep and Wake Times

Keep both your bedtime and wake time steady from day to day, including weekends, ideally within about 30 minutes of your usual schedule. If you have a late night or a poor night of sleep, still get up at your normal time rather than sleeping in. This regularity helps anchor the circadian clock and supports better sleep depth, mood, energy, and metabolic health.

“So what this means is that we should have fairly consistent bedtimes in addition to fairly consistent wake times. Is that right? Exactly. And in fact, one of the best markers of good neurological health when we get older is consistent bedtimes.”
