A regular wake time is one part of sleep hygiene. It can be more controllable than the exact moment sleep arrives.
A gentle way to begin
Choose a wake time that fits your responsibilities.
Get daylight after waking when practical.
Avoid compensating for one poor night with a very different schedule.
Make gradual adjustments rather than large sudden changes.
Keep the goal realistic
Try the idea as a small experiment. Notice what helps, what does not fit, and what support or adjustment would make the next step more workable.
When to reach out
Do not drive or operate machinery when sleepy. Seek medical advice for severe sleepiness or possible breathing interruptions.
