Wake Up Refreshed With Sleep Syncing SLEEP LIKE A CELEBRITY

How to Start Sleep Syncing The first step to sleep syncing is to create a consistent sleep schedule, which requires a bit of self-research. Start by writing down the time of night you feel sleepy, when you fall asleep, and how many hours of sleep you need to feel rested. Collecting data may take a week or two, but once you know how much sleep you need and when you start to feel sleepy, you can choose your new sleep and wake times. Pick a realistic morning wake time to get ready (no snoozing!), and then reverse engineer your sleep time. For example, if you need eight hours of sleep and must be up by 7 a.m., you likely need to be in bed by 10:30 p.m. to fall asleep by 11 p.m.

If one thing is for sure, Americans are not getting enough sleep. One in three people report not getting enough rest, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 40% of people admit to falling asleep during the day without meaning to at least once a month. Celebrities are no exception, which is why many stars use "sleep syncing" to ensure they get their beauty rest every

night. And you can use it too! So, what is sleep syncing?

Sleep syncing aligns your circadian rhythm, your body's natural internal clock, with your daily routine. Unlike many celebrities, ordinary people don't have much control over what they do every day; things like work, appointments, children's schedules, and family duties more or less set

The key to successful sleep syncing is to stick to your schedule — even on the weekends. With

our daily schedules for us. That's why the trick with sleep syncing is to align your body around that schedule so waking up for work or taking the kids to school feels natural. After a while, you may not even need an alarm!

consistency and practice, you'll wake up naturally feeling more rested and ready to take on your day!
