A few years ago, I started waking up at three o’clock every morning. Over the years, I’d read many articles about the importance of rest, so I knew the research was unequivocal: Quality sleep <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-022-03123-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supports cognitive performance</a> and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK19961/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lowers the risk of diseases</a> and health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and dementia.
Knowing that, I’d toss and turn in bed, disappointed that I wasn’t following through on my plan to get seven to eight hours of shut-eye. It was on my schedule, so why wasn’t I asleep?
