Going to bed at ten in the evening. Impossible for me.
My sleep is improving, I measure it. But I am wide awake at night, and forcing myself to go to bed early is counterproductive: I stop sleeping. You also have to know how to listen to your cycles.
I am my first client, and a difficult one.

Qu'est-ce que tu as essayé qui n'a pas marché ?
Me coucher à dix heures du soir. Impossible pour moi.
Mon sommeil s'améliore, je le mesure. Mais je suis hyper réveillé la nuit, et me forcer à me coucher tôt est contre-productif : je ne dors plus. Il faut aussi savoir écouter ses cycles.
Je suis mon premier client, et c'est un client difficile.
