Try to be physically active during the day, Peters said be careful about drinking caffeine later than midday limit alcohol, which makes you sleepy at first but “begins to fragment sleep” later on at night.
Peters recommended getting morning sunlight-15 to 30 minutes, right when you get up-to set circadian patterns. For starters, we in the coronavirus insomnia crew should be trying to go to bed and get up at the same time every day. There are also a lot of people who have had to violate the “don’t mix your workspace with your sleep space” dictum so they can put a door between their desk and the parts of their house where other people live.īut talking to Blanc, who mentioned the kinds of difficulties survivors living in shelters after a major event like the Haiti earthquake faced in getting good sleep, made me realize how lucky many of us are to still have so many sleep hygiene choices under our control. But, as Cunningham pointed out, some people in quarantine might have nowhere else to be but their bed-if they live in a studio apartment, for example, where the bed is the couch, the dining room table, and the desk. “Without that anchor, I think there are a lot of people maybe sleeping too much time in bed”-something that can lead to night wakings and difficulty getting back to sleep. You’re waking up at inconsistent times”-not using an alarm clock and getting up at 5:17 a.m., like I used to do to get to morning CrossFit (now closed, like everything else). So, say, you don’t have to go into work anymore.
Peters said, “People experiencing insomnia now may have made changes to their sleep habits.
One problem with the traditional sleep hygiene advice given to insomnia sufferers, which is about schedule, habit, and environment, is that quarantine is upending everyone’s baseline.
