I've been sleeping consistently for the past week, going to bed between 8:30 and 10 PM and waking up between 5:30 and 7 AM, aiming to get 7-9 hours of sleep. Normally, I sleep around 8:30/9:30 PM and wake up around 4/4:30/5 AM. Tonight, I have to stay up until 2 AM for a lab shift. What time should I wake up? Should I prioritize consistency in wake times and wake up at 5 AM to get back into a rhythm, or do I sleep in? What would Andrew Huberman tell me to do?
I sleep at 10 PM and wake up at 5:30 AM. I need to leave my house at 7:40 AM. Before I leave, I need 35 minutes for breakfast and getting dressed. What would Andrew Huberman recommend doing during the extra time in the morning? What are the highest-impact habits for health, longevity, focus, and motivation that I should do in the morning?
Build me a daily routine structure that Andrew Huberman recommends, considering I work from 7am to 4pm. I try to wake up at 5am and sleep at 9pm. I can take walks at work, and I have red light glasses. I have a 30-minute commute to work, so I have to leave the house by 6:30am.
