How Long Should I Spend in Bed?


Listen Later

In the End Insomnia System, the period you set aside for sleep each night is called your “sleep window.”

Establishing a consistent sleep window involves three main guidelines:

  1. Spend the right amount of time in bed.
  2. Get out of bed at approximately the same time every day.
  3. Avoid long naps.

These practices are crucial for regulating sleep patterns and improving sleep quality.

Here’s a brief overview of why each is important and what it does for you:

  • Spending the right amount of time in bed affects your sleep drive.
  • Waking up at the same time every day influences your circadian rhythm.
  • Avoiding long naps preserves your sleep window, impacting both sleep drive and circadian rhythm.

Let’s break these down further.
