Before being healthy, Haku was a regular bird. It was challenging to fall asleep.
Haku used to go to bed at around 2 am, with a wandering mind for hours before being able to fall asleep.
The first thing that helped Haku fix its sleep was a consistent sleep schedule.
Even if Haku slept late at first, sleeping and waking up at the same time had immediate effect on its sleep quality.
And on the time it took to fall asleep!
Why Does a Sleep Schedule Matter?
Your body has an internal clock called the circadian rhythm. It regulates your sleep-wake cycle.
When your sleep schedule fluctuates, your circadian rhythm gets disrupted.
That leads to poor sleep quality and longer sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep).
By maintaining consistency, you align your rhythm with your natural biological cues.
Thus falling asleep is faster and you get a more restorative sleep.
Action: Keep a consistent bedtime.
Choose a bedtime that allows for 7-9 hours in bed each night.
Avoid scheduling late nights and be consistent even on weekends.
Set an alarm for winding down.
And finally…
Track your sleep patterns with a journal or sleep tracker.
