Go to Bed and Wake Up at the Same Time Every Day

The Problem

You sleep at midnight on weekdays and 2 AM on weekends. Monday mornings are brutal.

The Hack

Pick a wake time you can maintain 7 days a week (even weekends). Count back 7-8 hours for bedtime. Stick to this within 30 minutes every day — including Saturday and Sunday.

Why It Works

Your circadian rhythm is a 24-hour biological clock. Irregular sleep times create 'social jet lag' — the equivalent of flying across time zones every weekend. Consistency trains your body to sleep and wake naturally.

Pro Tips

• Same wake time is more important than same bedtime
• Weekend sleep-in of 1 hour max — more creates Monday jet lag
• It takes 2-3 weeks to fully adjust to a new schedule
• You'll eventually wake up naturally before your alarm
