I'm really interested in optimizing my sleep and need help designing a schedule for myself.

To begin, you will want to find out what your ideal amount of sleep is. Everyone has different needs, so it is important to adjust your schedule based on your individual needs. Start by making a note of what time you typically go to bed and wake up. Track your sleep patterns for a week, noting how you feel after each night's sleep. Then, use this data to work out what time you should be aiming to go to bed and wake up to get the ideal amount of sleep for you. Once you’ve done this, use this as your target and create a regular sleeping schedule around it. Ensure you are getting 7-9 hours of sleep every night and that you go to bed and wake up at the same time each day so your body can adjust. As your body gets accustomed to this schedule, you should start to feel more rested and alert during the day.
