What this is
Going to sleep and waking up at roughly the same time each day.
Why it helps
Irregular sleep patterns can disrupt the body’s internal rhythm.
Consistency helps the system recognize when it can rest and when it needs to be active.
Start here
Pick a realistic sleep and wake time.
Stay within about the same window each day.
Avoid large shifts, even on days off.
If it becomes familiar
Gradually reduce late-night stimulation before sleep.
Allow a short period of winding down.
This can support
- difficulty settling
- fatigue
- irritability
- hypervigilance
