There are a million books on this topic. One of the top sleep scientists recommends charting your sleep for 90 days by tracking the following daily to better understand your own body. Everyone can give you an opinion, but what does your body need?

  1. How much sleep do you need to wake naturally?
  2. What caffeinated beverages are you consuming and when?
  3. What foods are you consuming and when?
  4. How do you feel every day?
  5. What time do you go to sleep?
  6. What time do you wake up?
