So, for a few evenings now, I have been putting on a pair of sunglasses about 2-3 hours before I'm expecting to hit the bed, not taking them off until I'm in the bed. My sleep schedule has been shifting earlier by as much as 15-30 minutes a day. I first thought of using those blue-light blocking glasses, but I figured that sunglasses should work even better. I have set my screens and lights to the lowest level of brightness at which I can still read without too much difficulties.
I think my body is acquiring a form of Pavlovian conditioning to the glasses too. I put them on just 30 minutes ago and I'm already feeling the melatonin surging. My largest question for now is if by continuing this practice my sleep schedule would perpetually get earlier and earlier, or if I would eventually hit a schedule that the body would naturally prefer, a biologically wired circadian preference.
Anyone else tried something similar?
