My weekday routine: - My alarm goes off at 7am. I ignore it and sleep for another 30 minutes. I do this because it helps me have dreams I can recall, and my biological clock wakes me up reliably anyway. - Drink some water or cranberry juice and check email, HN, etc. - Shower and brush teeth at the same time. - Have a Rockstar Pure Zero energy drink. These have absolutely no effect on me at this point, but it's a ritu…

This doesn't seem to cause any obvious problems with my health or mental state, although I'm open to hearing how this could be damaging in the long-term.

I don’t know what the parent poster is talking about, but look into Sleep Cycle (app). I find that it makes it a lot easier for me to wake up in the mornings.

My ( sometimes ) daily routine ... wait for it ... is having a glass of wine while browsing the Internet for an hour, just before I go to bed.

This turns off :

1. Ability to blame myself for not being productive after work

2. Ability to constantly worry about stuff that needs to be done

No other daily routine imposed by myself has stuck for years, except this one. Everything else I consider not a routine, but responsibilities - wake up, go to the gym, go to work, go to the supermarket, household work, etc ...

6.30 Awoken by children Roil in Chaos 23.30 Fall into dreamless sleep At weekends I do not get a coffee break.

Yes, like that. However, in the last couple of months, I managed to move my kid's schedule from waking up at 4:30 AM, to more humane 6-7. I am very proud of this achievement.

I wan't to try fasting, what material do you recommend to get into it?

It’s pretty simple: you don’t eat.

Or drink...if you want to triple the effectiveness of a fast, not drinking will do this.
