A great read! I'll be the first to admit my sleeping schedule is all kinds of messed up. I'm trying to get back into a proper rhythm but it's incredibly hard. I have a hard time getting to feel sleepy, if that makes sense? If I go to bed without feeling sleepy, even if I don't turn on any screens, I'll stay awake for a good 2 hours. I just won't fall asleep. It's tough and I often find myself opening Twitter or something like that to keep me occupied. I'll eventually fall asleep, though. I guess the first thing I can do is make my bedroom a no-screen zone, that'll probably help me out a lot.
Your sleep cycle was most certainly affected by the screens ;)
The no-screen zone is a must in my opinion ( and gosh it's hard... ). I would also suggest, if possible, to spend some time outside before 8:30 AM. Bright lights exposure help the release of melatonin in the evenings. That could help you fell sleepy ;)

AM or PM? Because I am definitely outside before 8:30 AM :). Starting Monday I'm also going to get into some form of exercise schedule. Back when I still did some sort of sport on a regular basis, I noticed I slept like a baby. So I am definitely taking that advice with me! Going out at night, while it's still light out, will probably help my mental state as well. Plus, it gives me a chance to just stroll around the city with my partner every day :)
Thanks for this post, it was a great read and really motivates me to get into a better sleeping rhythm!

That's AM ;)
Exercising, exposure to light during the mornings, that will definitely help you a lot!
I will keep that in mind :)
