If you have been doing that same routine for 8-9 years, it will likely be quite hard to break that routine! It seems like you really value those hours of the day... if you are at peace during those few hours then don't take those away from yourself. You are a night owl!
I go to bed quite early...once 11 hits the eyelids get very heavy! In fact, I went to bed at 9 last night! The older I get the earlier it gets!
I sleep just 4-5 hours per night. I don't have trouble sleeping, I just like going to bed very late.
I really treasure the couple of hours I get alone every night after the rest of the family is in bed. It's when I truly relax. I've been advised by my therapist to change my sleeping habits, but I can't give up my solitary time. I feel I really need it.
On the other hand, I am often exhausted during the day, and at times I fall asleep over my work, but then it is very boring at times. I don't seem to wake up properly until the evening.
I've had this sleep pattern for 8-9 years now and it is my habitual daily routine. I feel like I live for the quiet hours after midnight when there is no pressure or stress. It may be bad for my health, but I can't see myself giving it up.
We’re sure you’ve heard it before but we can’t emphasize it enough –
getting enough sleep at night is crucial to maintaining your good
health. Your stress levels, mood and immune system are just a few of
the things that are negatively affected when you don’t get enough
sleep. The average American gets only 6.9 hours a night – not enough
compared to the recommended 8 hours. The good news is that just by
being here you are making positive changes on your sleeping habits.
Here are some more tips to help you get a good night sleep:
• Create a good sleeping environment
• Get started in an exercise routine
• Limit food and beverage intake before bed
• Don’t drink caffeinated beverages 4 hours before bed
• Try relaxation or deep breathing techniques
• Make a ‘to- do’ list before bed
