In order to prepare for my 14 day study, I will be setting a “wake up” alarm, a “prepare for bed” alarm, and a “go to sleep” alarm. I will set the “prepare for bed” alarm about forty-five minutes ahead of my “go to sleep” alarm to ensure I don’t have to rush the night routine I already follow before bed. My routine (which includes meditation and putting my electronic devices away among other things) helps me fall asleep faster, with less ruminating about the next day. The alarms will establish a routine with a set amount of hours of sleep (7.5 hours).
