Sleep For Night Owls

Are you a night owl? We'll find out in this first lesson! We'll discuss an overview of what will, and won't, be taught in this course. We'll conclude with an opportunity to reflect on what your specific sleep goals are so that you can get the most out of the coming lessons.

Let's turn what we thought we knew about sleep on its head! Today we will bust some myths and set the record straight - night owls are good sleepers. We're just misunderstood. The more we understand our own sleep, the better we'll get at it.

Ready for your masterclass on melatonin? We'll explore this mysterious chemical, and what it means for sleep. For night owls, it's a unique relationship. That unique relationship can explain why we work differently than our fine feathered morning larks.

Stressed about sleep? Let's banish some sleep worries and get grounded on what counts as a good-enough sleep. CBT-I is a cognitive-behavioral intervention for sleep challenges. It's about more than just "sleep hygiene" - it's about re-wiring our relationship with sleep.

They might not be our favorite, but we can make mornings better the more we work with, rather than against, our natural rhythm. Let's explore your morning - and we might spark your creativity while we're at it!

It's a long way to the top, if you're a night owl! We'll explore the slow building of our energy in mid-morning. As we wait to fully wake up, we'll discuss how this time of day can be leveraged to set the rest of our day up for success.

Welcome to your afternoon, where night owls start to feel a little more like themselves! We'll explore how to shine in your last hours of work, and transition you into a peaceful evening. This may be when your co-workers and loved ones are slowing down - but not you!

While the world powers down, the night owl is just getting started! We'll explore bringing meaningful and impactful habits to your evening routine so that your late-night self can focus, and your morning self can relax.

What could be more sacred than the dark and quiet? It's time to do some of your most meaningful work, or your most detail-oriented tasks. While others may be winding down, you've perhaps awaited this moment- now it's time to enjoy it.

You've planned your whole day around this moment - bedtime. Your habits have stacked up and now it's time to wind down and rest. Even if you can't sleep, these moments can be gentle and restful. We can bring more peace to bed and sleep, and less frustration.

Congratulations, night owls! I hope you are proud of your 10 days of hard work, and that you are proud to belong to this fascinating chronotype! Now is the time to put your new knowledge to work. This is also goodbye - until Part II.
