Regularizing my sleep habits has made all the difference in the world for me. When my sleep habits become irregular, it's terrible.

There's this weird cultural sense that waking up extremely early is somehow virtuous. I wake up early now, but for practical reasons, not reasons of virtue. Almost everyone I knew as a teenager (with some oddball exceptions) would naturally wake up at around 10-11am if they could

It’s like 1990 in my house. Kids wake up late, go to bed late. Grades are solid and so far, we’ll adjusted. Parents who try to engineer optimal performance of their are the laziest.
