Study Notes
How to Recover From a Poor Night’s Sleep
- When experiencing a poor night's sleep, it is important to maintain a consistent sleep schedule to avoid disrupting your circadian rhythm, even if you're sleep-deprived.
- Get up at your usual wake-up time even if you feel tired, as sleeping in can negatively affect your sleep that night.
- Expose yourself to sunlight shortly after waking to support your cortisol peak early in the day.
- Delay caffeine intake until 90–120 minutes after waking to maximize its energy-boosting effects.
- Exercise in the morning to encourage an early-day cortisol peak, boost adrenaline, and improve focus.
- Avoid caffeine in the afternoon if you are feeling tired. Consider taking a short nap or using NSDR to recharge.
- Sunlight Exposure: Aim for 5-10 minutes of sunlight exposure, or 10-15 minutes on cloudy days, and 30 minutes on overcast days within 30-60 minutes of waking.
- Dimming Lights: Start dimming the lights shortly after sunset and avoid bright lights before sleep.
- Cool Down: Set your bedroom temperature 1-3 degrees lower than usual.
- Optimize the Sleeping Environment: Make sure the bedroom is dark, using blackout blinds or an eye mask.
- NSDR: Use Neuro-Sensory Deprivation Relaxation (NSDR) to promote relaxation and support falling back asleep quickly if you wake up in the middle of the night.
