Strategies for Preventing Sleep Deprivation

From James Clear on the How to Get Better Sleep: The Beginner’s Guide to Overcoming Sleep Deprivation:

Key problems of sleep debt

  • We accummulate sleep debt.
  • We don’t perceive our resulting performance declines.
  • As we age, our sleep shortens.

Sleep strategies

  • Be habitual with sleep times.
  • Darker rooms promote melatonin function.
  • Practice relaxation techniques.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Lower bedroom temperature (65-70F).
  • Keep a quiet sleeping space or use white-noise.
