“You don’t have to become an automaton doing the same thing every day, eating the same meals, etc.! But figuring out a consistent wake-up time is the number one thing I do with people who come into the sleep clinic. And that’s because it’s the most powerful regulator of the two natural internal processes that cause sleep.”
-Aric A. Prather
