What is the optimal sleep schedule and protocol given that I **have** to sleep late 1 day a week?
Like many others I assume they like having fun on the weekends. Unfortunately, due to reasons out of my control -- most events happen in the evening and end really late (for me 2am). If it were up to me I'd start it at 1pm and end it 5pm -- but odd societal stereotypes are hard to shift (but your podcast is helping I hope). In my specific case it is latin dancing nights. I already cosume zero alcohol, no drugs etc. I do this for the pure joy of dancing. I assume others have similar reasons to break their sleep schedules. Given this, is a optimal protocol to sleep say at 11-12pm every day (and have a normal 9-5, but on the weekend on a *single* day sleep in or whatever is needed that day) or just shift the entire sleep schedule to sleeping at 2:30am (say waking up at 10am or 11am)? At this point I am in a fork deciding if considering if consistent sleep schedule is most important (even if we are not in phase with the sun perfectly, in fact losing quite a few hours if we wake up at 10am or 11am) or being in phase with the sun. I am aware that being in phase with the sun + consistency is the global optimum - but given my circumstance to live a deep meaningful life I need to make some changes.
Myo-inositol - will it cause difficulty in sleeping?
Was having problem falling back to sleep whenever I woke up in the middle of the night around 2-3am, so I decided to try 1g of myo-inositol about 1 hour before sleeping. However, I ended up barely able to sleep through the night. The mind seems to be alert and restless. Is it a possible side effect of inositol? I did not dare to try it a 2nd time.
