Routine No 004 - Consistency
Follow your regular routine, even after a night of poor sleep.
If you’ve had a bad night’s sleep, try to follow your regular routine. Get up the same time you normally would. Don’t compensate by drinking excessive amounts of caffeine. Limit any naps to a maximum of 25 minutes and get to bed the same time you normally would in the evening.
WHY IT HELPS:
Staying on a consistent schedule helps your circadian rhythm, which controls the sleep hormone melatonin and other processes that are important for your sleep. Irregular sleep hurts your circadian rhythm.
