Many people believe that it takes 21 days to break a bad habit. To test this theory, a project followed several real participants and recorded how they tried to get rid of bad habits and create a healthier lifestyle. During this process, a 27-year-old who had been facing sleep problems for a long time decided to take action to improve her sleep quality.
Although this participant knew that she should go to bed before 11 pm, she always couldn't go to bed on time. Usually, she would fall asleep around 1 or 1:30 in the morning, and once she fell asleep, she would often wake up in the middle of the night, sleeping no more than four to six hours a night, and even only three to four hours at her worst. Long-term insomnia made her feel very depressed and exhausted, affecting her daily life and social life, and even missed gatherings with friends. In order to find a solution, she decided to use a sleep tracking app to record her sleep status and began to try some improvement measures.
Despite her efforts to adjust her work and rest schedule, the results were still not as expected. She found that she stayed awake after finishing her work during the day, habitually staying up late to watch TV and browse social media. Despite knowing that these behaviors were harmful to sleep, she still had difficulty controlling her nighttime habits. Eventually, she realized that her sleep problems were not just physical difficulties, but were also closely related to psychological stress and anxiety in daily life.
After a period of hard work, she decided to seek professional help. After communicating with a sleep expert, she learned that she had a problem of "retaliatory sleep procrastination". Due to excessive stress in her daytime life, she often "retaliated" for the busyness of the day by delaying going to bed. Although this behavior temporarily made her feel in control, it ultimately led to worse sleep quality. The expert suggested that she set a regular schedule, avoid using electronic devices before going to bed, and create a relaxing sleeping environment.
Under the advice of the expert, she began to improve her sleeping environment, adjust the lighting in the bedroom, play soft music, and try to avoid interference from social media and TV at night. Through these small changes, she gradually created a space suitable for sleep for herself and began to prepare more for going to bed. These changes gradually showed results, and her sleep quality was significantly improved, and her quality of life also improved.
This process proved that breaking bad habits is not easy, but change is entirely possible with perseverance and the right approach. First, morning exercise is important, as it can boost your energy for the day, make you more alert during the day, and help you fall asleep better at night. In addition, creating a quiet, tidy sleeping environment is also very important. Making your bed every morning not only makes your bedroom tidier, but also creates a relaxing and calm space for yourself.
In terms of daily arrangements, planning your time properly and setting aside "me" time can also help improve sleep quality. By gradually reducing the use of electronic devices and gradually adjusting your sleeping environment and schedule, although it may be difficult at first, as long as you stick to it, you will eventually see significant results. Maintaining consistency is the key to breaking bad habits. By gradually cultivating healthy sleeping habits, such as relaxing, turning off your phone, and lighting aromatherapy, you can gradually establish a stable schedule.
In addition, recording your daily feelings, especially by writing a diary, can help clear your mind of distractions, reduce anxiety, and ultimately increase your speed of falling asleep. Even when you encounter challenges, as long as you stick to it, you can gradually adapt to the new rhythm of life, feel the changes after your efforts, and experience higher quality sleep.
Through a series of simple adjustments, from making your bed to daily exercise to improving your bedtime habits, gradually cultivate a good lifestyle and finally achieve a satisfactory sleep effect.
