The Effect of Sleep on Happiness
This is really interesting. I may have to start tracking on my own. But I&#x27;d do it a bit differently.<p>One is that I don&#x27;t think happiness is exactly the thing I&#x27;d track. I&#x27;d also want to track sleep cycle, not just sleep amount. My experience is that too little sleep or a disrupted sleep schedule has a negative effect on my mood stability. If I sleep enough and at roughly the same time every day, I&#x27;m more emotionally resilient.<p>One sleep hack I recommend to everybody is to try to avoid waking up to an alarm. I now adjust my wake time mostly by adjusting my bedtime. This certainly makes my mornings better, but it also means I fret less about getting the right number of hours, in that I trust my body to generally self-regulate on the right amount of sleep.
