Uh, the majority of people by early to mid-20s will have shifted somewhat earlier again, although some people will remain.

Lifelong night owls.

And then exactly what you're describing, Kim, is later in life, there's a tendency to advance our rhythms.

So our rhythms tend to shift earlier later in life.

Um, and not everyone, but we do have a greater tendency to be morning people the older we get.

One of the biggest things I'm always trying to communicate is just making sleep a priority.

I mean, people live busy lives and often sleep is the thing that gets squeezed out of their schedule.

And so I think it's a matter of making sleep a priority.

I mean, no one wants to live life feeling tired day after day because they're not getting a good night of sleep.

So making it a

priority.

So you're at least giving yourself enough time in bed to get opportunity for sleep.

Um, some of the other things I I recommend as kind of a good starting point are regularity.

Our our circadian rhythms like regularity.

And so sometimes I talk with people and there's sleep schedules all over the place.

You know, one night they're going to bed at 10, the next night it's one in the morning, then it's 11, and then it's nine.

And when our schedules are widely varied.

It's hard for our rhythms to get really set to any one good rhythm.

So keeping a regular schedule.

And probably the other thing I recommend the most common is not to chase sleep.
