Health Areas/Sleep

Sleep

Sleep rewards stable boring basics — not optimization protocols, supplement stacks, or perfect routines. The goal is sleep, not the score.

Most sleep problems are timing problems before they are chemistry problems. Consistent wake times, 7 to 9 hours, morning light, an honest look at caffeine and alcohol — these fix more complaints than any aid. When the basics aren't enough, sleep apnea evaluation and CBT-I for chronic insomnia come before sleep medications. The Roadmap below sequences the basics first and reserves clinical escalation for the cases that need it.

Step 1 (Built on consistent patterns across expert discussions)

Keep consistent sleep and wake times — including weekends

Sleep regularity appears as important as duration in current research. Going to bed and waking up at consistent times — even on weekends, within an hour — anchors the body's circadian rhythm. Large weekend shifts ('social jet lag') leave you starting Monday with a circadian-rhythm hangover. Pick a wake time you can keep most days of the week and protect it. Sleep duration adjusts more easily than circadian timing once a rhythm is established.
