aka Strategies for early waking. So how about one more post about my sleep schedule? Keeping in mind my two earlier posts (here and here), I actually made myself get up at a set time this morning. I got to sleep about 4:15 am and woke up at 8:30.

I’ll explain my method and touch on another method I’ve read about in a bit, but first let me go into my background.

Finally got around to scanning articles related to the one I talked about in my earlier post. This was the next in line.

“‘Night Owls’ Report More Insomnia-related Symptoms” Basically there is a severe rise in insomnia-related symptoms in night owls.

Another for the “no duh” department, but it’s nice to have a personal assumption proven.

Compared to the morning and intermediate types, people with insomnia who prefer evening activities (i.e., “night owls”) reported the most sleep/wake irregularities and waking distress, even after adjusting for severity of sleep disturbance.
