I have seven years of sleep tracking data and the biggest thing I've learned is that how little I can help in changing my sleep schedule or length. Sure I might sometimes manage to get to bed early, wake up early or sleep hours longer than usual, but if I actually listen to how I feel, it's really consistent and also not what school or nine-to-five work would require.

I mean it kinda makes sense as well, biologically, that there's a bell curve of both duration and falling asleep hour. It's dangerous and limiting for a group of people to be asleep all at the same time.

It's immensely frustrating when people push for their opinion of what a good sleep schedule looks like. We can unfortunately still see it in our school system and I can only hope that at some point our policies start following the research.
