Understanding the reasons behind these changes can help in developing effective strategies for better sleep. Exploring methods to enhance sleep quality is essential for those feeling impaired by reduced sleep duration.In this clip

How long does it take to adjust to a time schedule? I've been waking up at 6 AM quite consistently, but I can't seem to fall asleep at 10 PM. Due to this, I have to take breaks from sleeping and do something relaxing, which means that on average I get around 6 hours of sleep or less.
If I am sleeping poorly and little, and having trouble falling asleep, and I want to start going to bed earlier, if one day I wake up at the desired time but have slept only 3 and a half hours, should I wake up and make it through the day, then go to bed early, or should I go back to sleep?
