Hello. I started CBT exactly a week ago. My sleep window is from 02:00am till 07:00. I wake up little early than 07:00. Since I have to go to bed 02:00am, I have to do something until that. But I feel very sleep from 01:00am. Should I change my sleep time and go to bed when I am sleepy enough?
When that happens, and you sustain that generally for a couple of weeks, then you can begin adding in more time by going to bed earlier. In 15-30 minute increments, something like that. While keeping your wake time consistent.
All that said, 5 hours is a tad short for most people. I wonder if you can get basically the same benefit now by going to 5.5 hours, which would put your bedtime closer to 01:30.
