    Go to bed earlier than you did the previous night. Not necessarily at your goal time, but closer to your goal time than the previous night.

    Staying up overnight and then all day until a good bedtime the next day will fuck you up more than it helps. I’m not so sure about trying to go to bed way before you get tired either. Regularity matters almost as much as quantity for sleep, so try to avoid totally bucking your cycle.

    Booze has rarely helped me more than it harmed in terms of sleep, but there have been a few cases where it did, usually in medium amounts as a counter to bad coffee decisions. But it’s a net negative overall and not to be trusted.
