I've been reading Why We Sleep by Mathew Walker and in it, he speaks at some length about the all the benefits as well as the dire consequences of getting less than 7.5 - 8.5 hours of sleep a night; 7 hours a night is cutting it fine, as it were, while anything less, Walker suggests, is simply not enough.
In the TED talk below, he suggests going to bed at the same time every night as regularity can help establish a good sleeping habit and also to sleep in cool conditions (18 degrees Celcius) as being the two main things we can do to improve our sleep. In his book, he also suggests cutting out/cutting down considerably on alcohol and caffeine intake as well as avoiding strong light in the evening - especially blue' screen light from gadgets.
I'm going to see if I can tweak my sleep efficiency by going offline at 9 o'clock so that I get at least an hour of non-screen time before going to bed between 10 and 10.30.
Right, time to sign off for the evening, but I look forward to seeing what happens - both in this thread as well as in bed
