Other people feel much better staying up late, waking up late.

The total duration of sleep is important.

The regularity of sleep, it turns out, is becoming a very important variable, or it has always been an important variable, but the data are pointing to the fact that if you are somebody who feels best going to sleep around 11 p.m.,

and waking up at 7 a.m., trying to keep that to bedtime within plus or minus one hour.

Anytime you can, except on a night when there's a lecture at the ICC theater, is a good idea.

But in general, five nights out of the week, you want to go to sleep within plus or minus an hour of the same bedtime.

That's kind of the general goal.

And in the sleep series with Matt Walker, he talks about

The quality, quantity, regularity, and timing, QQRT, quantity, quality, regularity, and timing of your sleep being the four key features of your sleep to try and dial in.

But of course, life isn't about optimizing everything.

It's good to get out and party every once in a while, stay up all night, watch the sunrise, and just live life also.

So I think sometimes people get the impression because I wear the same shirt all the time that I do everything in a hyper-regimented way.

But actually, it's quite the opposite.

I try and do things regularly and as consistently as possible so that deviations from those protocols don't impact me negatively much at all.

That's the idea.

I have ADHD and I'm struggling to focus.

What would be the best way to go about regaining my focus?

Nick.

Okay, so I think that nowadays many, many people struggle with issues with focus.

I think we have our do's and our do nots.
