I always try and get more than 7 hours of sleep.

Routinely sleeping less than 6 or 7 hours a night

•Destroys your immune system
•Leads to weaker focus and concentration
•May increase risk of anxiety and depression

Here are @mattdavella's 3 Rules to Sleep

Rule 1: Don’t consume caffeine within 10 hours of bedtime

Caffeine blocks your adenosine receptors, so it does not boost energy and instead masks your tiredness.

Caffeine has a half-life of 5 hours. It takes your body 5 hours to get rid of half of the caffeine in your body.

Rule 2: Get 8 hours of sleep, not 8 hours in bed

Recommended average sleep time is 8 hours for adults, but 40% of Americans get less than 7 hours.

Add buffer time in sleep schedule, we fail to account for time that we need to fall asleep and when we toss and turn in bed.

Rule 3: No screens an hour before bed

Checking our screens close to bedtime makes it harder to sleep and reduces sleep quality.

Replace it with something positive to give yourself a shot of maintaining the habit. (Reading, listening to the podcast, meditating, journal)
