Ask HN: How do you sleep on time?(ycombinator.com) Hello fellow HN guys,
My work mostly ends around 9 to 10:00 PM. I have this hangover of spending a few hours after dinner so it ends up me being able to sleep around 12:00PM-1:00 AM which is very late.
What can I do to get to sleep early?
The one-page calendar that changes how you view the year(bigthink.com) Each year, most of us throw out our old calendar and replace it with a new one. Each month, we flip our calendar forward another page, and if we ever need to know which day-of-the-week corresponds to a particular day/month combination, we have to either calculate it ourselves or flip forward/backward to the relevant month.

Based on that past experience, here’s my current recommendation.

Byoyomi Explained (1997)(britgo.org) "Cho Kisei, you've entered byoyomi. Ten minutes left." That must be a familiar sound to Cho Chikun, who goes into byoyomi in most of his games. In the Kisei title match, the time limit is eight hours per player. There are no chess clocks; the time is monitored by a timekeeper. When a player has used all except ten minutes of his time, the timekeeper reads out the seconds, which is the literal meaning of byoyomi.

How to Train Yourself to Go to Sleep Earlier(sleepfoundation.org) A number of factors may impact your ability to go to sleep early. Perhaps you are not a morning person, or you have work or family obligations that keep you up late. Some sleep or mental health disorders, such as insomnia or anxiety, can make falling asleep difficult. In other instances, nighttime may be your only time to relax, and so you engage in revenge bedtime procrastination and stay up late, which then negatively impacts your next day.

Ask HN: How did you improve your ability to do deep work?(ycombinator.com) I'm a HN lurker, twitter addict, insta reel addict etc. etc. (On a new account because my old one is connected to my IRL identity)<p>I used to do many hours of work a day, and I am not able to do that anymore. I can do max an hour when before I used to do four or five without any issues.
