Arnold Schwarzenegger’s receding bedtime method

Through one of his newsletters, Schwarzenegger had once pointed out how a person can slowly yet gradually become an early sleeper from a night owl. His process included sleeping only 15 minutes every week and that would make significant changes in the longer run. He noted, “If you typically stay up late, try to push your bedtime back by 15 minutes per week. We’re not talking about significant changes. Remember, the results were established by moving sleep back just two hours. And it’s possible that even one hour earlier would lead to benefits.”
