Can You Reset Your Circadian Rhythm?

Our bodies are governed by an internal clock called a circadian rhythm. Just as the sun rises and sets each day, our circadian rhythms regulate when we wake up and when we feel ready for bed.

In fact, the term "circadian rhythm" actually comes from the Latin phrase, “circa diem”, meaning “about a day.” And when we travel across time zones or experience the twice-yearly clock changes, it can be easy for our internal clocks to become misaligned with the rhythm of the sun.

The good news is yes, you CAN change your circadian rhythm. Join Faith as she walks through several tips to realigning your body with nature.

If you've tried EVERYTHING to get better sleep and it still feels like a struggle, it's possible that you might need a more supportive mattress. Check out these links for discounts on some of our top picks!

My goal was to sleep at 11pm and wake up at 7. I was sleeping at 2-3am and waking up around 11 am for a year. This is what worked for me. The first week is tough.
-go to sleep when your actually tired and you know will fall asleep within 20 minutes
-wake 30 minutes earlier each day until you wake up at your desired time. Eventually you will feel tired at your desired sleep time .

I noticed that my circadian rhythm gets out of whack when I take long naps (over 1 hour). So, now, if I nap I limit it to no more than 20 minutes.

I literally have a reversed circadian rhythm. I start falling asleep at sunrise and wake up in the mid-to-late afternoon. It seems like this has been my homeostasis since childhood because, as a child, I could never fall asleep before 3 a.m., and I would sleep through the school day. Now, as a working adult, it feels the most natural to me, because I feel actually rested, when compared to attempting to sleep through the night.

My sleep schedule is a mess right now usually I just fall asleep when I get tired which is usually between 2am to 4am and want to change that to 11:30pm to 12:30am in the hopes it will help my mental state get better naturally

[jaysmitty]

I'm falling asleep @ 7-8pm then wack @ 1-2am. I need it to be more like 11pm-5am. Still trying to level out from night shift weeks ago

I fear I may have damaged my circadian rhythm beyond repair. It also doesn't help that I have a pretty unhealthy lifestyle. I need to make some big changes.

I wake up every night around 4-5am, regardless of how tired I am. I sleep at 12 almost every night and usually don't have trouble going to sleep, but for the past 2 months i've been waking up at these early times. It typically takes me an hour or so to get back to sleep but when i cant go back to sleep i have a hard time functioning. Ive tried melatonin but it doesn't help me stay asleep. Does anyone have any advice please?

[VodShod]

Why do you not have dark mode on your website? I was looking for how to sleep and I was blinded by your website with no way to read it.

[alexanderprassolov]
