My thought exactly. For people who struggle with this, and conventional wisdom doesn't seem to stick, what are we supposed to do?

#5Well that sucks, given I have a gene variant related to delayed sleep according to 23andme.
Last year I did an experiment of sorts while unemployed for a time and found that if I just slept and woke when tired that my sleep time would naturally recess and eventually "flip" after about a month.
My entire life I've wondered why I feel incredibly tired and found waking up so difficult. Turns out that if you follow your bodies dominant sleep cycle it's a synch to wake up. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with modern life very well.

Let's create a Discord/Signal/WhatsApp/mailing list group to help each other figure it out... it's time to end our sleep irregularity once and for all!

The only thing that worked for me was having a kid. He wakes up early every day, so I have no choice. Taking care of him is so taxing, being sleep deprived isn't on the table.

Don't watch any kind of screen in the evening. Read a book instead. You'll fall asleep sooner.
Isn't that "conventional wisdom"?
