Bedtime fluctuates but the goal is 'in bed' by 10:30 and asleep by 12a. The long term goal would be something like a rigid 11p-7a.
This has been a hugely positive shift from all the years I slept ~2am-10am. All I was really doing past 10 was consuming media. I get much more done now.
i’ve always been a night owl for as long as i can remember and, even more so, decidedly NOT a morning person. recently though, i have started going to bed early (8:30-9:30PM) and it has made so much of a difference: i feel much more rested when i wake up and don‘t struggle to wake up at a decent time. i actually tend to naturally wake up at 6:30-7AM now—even on the weekend—when that would have been UNHEARD OF for most of my life.
I have good sleep hygiene. I sleep 8 hours a night. It's not really anyone's business what they are. I shape my life around my preferred sleeping hours and repetitive exclamations of how I'm up so late and get up so late are a harbinger of social dullness. 8 hours a night, 16 hours of wakefulness. Some people are just different. That's kindergarten stuff.
my sleep schedule fluctuates quite drastically and i do often appreciate a 4am bedtime but i’ve been so into eating a yummy dinner and then crawling beneath the sheets and asleep before 10 goodnightttt
