In order to this, I will factor in my sleep hygiene, which will be done by using the most important part of sleep hygiene which is a consistent sleep/ wake schedule. This will begin by every night having the same routine before going to bed. Beginning at 12:00 A.M. I will start winding down and start my routine. I will have a piece of chocolate (I love having dessert before sleep), brush my teeth, wash my face, take my pills, look at my phone for 5 minutes with the lights on, put my phone on airplane mode, and then turn the lights off and go to bed. By the time all of this is done, it will probably be 12:15 and I will begin falling asleep, which hopefully I am going to push for a sleep latency of 10 minutes. Then the next morning my alarm will vary on an hour instead of the 2.5-hour one I have now. This will be done by setting my alarm anytime between 8:40-9:40. From all of this, I believe that I will create a better sleep/wake schedule as it is consistent on a daily basis instead of being all chaotic where I can fall asleep at 2:30 one night and 12:00 another. Since it would be hard to recreate the stress and emotions I experienced during the basketball tournament, I think that this schedule will be the most positively influential for my sleep. This is because it allows for my sleep debt to diminish because I am going to get a sufficient amount of sleep a night, hopefully my sleep latency will decrease as well as my WASO levels, and the fragmentation that I experience from drinking alcohol will also go down since I am not going to be out so late drinking. In conclusion, my sleep should improve significantly because I will be on a consistent schedule where my melatonin will not decrease before bed from staring at a bright screen and also my sleep will be smoother from keeping my body away from the position of
