Vision: I wake up feeling refreshed and energized every day.

During the night, I sleep through the night soundly. I don’t feel anxious during my sleep. I feel in rhythm, in a flow state.

Plan: Very simple, 5 components. Schedule, sunlight, exercise, avoiding light, calming.

1. Wake up at 7am. (schedule)
   
2. Join run club for exercise at 7:15am (sunlight, exercise)
   
3. Turn down lights, turn off screens at 10pm. (avoiding light)
   
4. Calm my mental state from 10pm-11pm. (calming)
   
5. Try to go to bed anywhere from 11pm-12am. (schedule)
   

Notes on the plan:

• For 1 and 2, Let’s leverage the social pressure of run club to make those happen.
  
• For 3 and 4, I would recommend having a ritual where I am literally done with my phone past 10pm. I feel that getting late-night notifications from people, doomscrolling, etc. really drives up my cortisol levels.
  
• For 4, reading, journaling, etc. are all good off-screen activities. Maybe some readings would make my mind race, idk. But journaling is great, reading is great, meditating is great, whatever I can do to get my mind in a calm state, in a gentle state..
  
• For 5, Don’t let social events get in the way of bedtime. At this point in time, fixing my sleep is more important than late-night social events.
  

Overall, I feel that consistency is very, very important to living a good life. Most people end up with kinda shitty compromises and half-measures in their lives. They are not fully committed to making sure one thing happens consistently.

Something that’s rigid is something that’s brittle.
