Consistent-Schedule Reset

A reset for irregular or shifted schedules (weekends, travel, late nights): hold a steady wake time, use morning light to pull the clock earlier, protect a full sleep window, and keep naps short so night-time sleep pressure stays intact. General hygiene guidance, not treatment for a circadian rhythm sleep disorder.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
  1. 1
    Sleep Regularity and Consistency
    review once at start
    Understand why regularity may matter beyond total hours.
  2. 2
    Keep a Consistent Sleep–Wake Schedule
    hold one wake time within +/-30 min, 7 days/week
    The non-negotiable anchor of the reset.
  3. 3
    Get Bright Light in the Morning
    10-30 min daylight within 1-2 h of the fixed wake time
    Reinforces the earlier, steadier rhythm.
  4. 4
    Protect a Full 7–9 Hour Sleep Window
    allow 8-9 h in bed at consistent times
    Keep bedtime and rise time steady, not just duration.
  5. 5
    Nap Short and Early
    if needed, 10-20 min before mid-afternoon only
    Avoid long or late naps that undercut the reset.
