find other ways of building predictability into your sleep. for example. So like so one of the groups I do a lot of work with is Major League Baseball. And in Major League Baseball when they're in season, they're constantly moving around and playing in different time zones and sleeping in different hotels. How do you keep regularity when you're constantly moving around? And so like for people whose lives are like that, what do you do? Well, I usually say, okay, stop trying to keep a regular schedule, but but find other ways to build predictability in. So, maybe have a nighttime routine that is highly predictable where you do the same things in the same order, even if you do them in different places in a different hotel room or whatever, especially if you can bring things with you, like bring the pillowcase with you uh as a as a conditioned stimulus. um use the same toothbrush that whether it's at home or on the road if you travel a lot. Use do the same things in the same order. So even if they're at a different time in a different place, find alternate ways to build predictability if time itself is not the predictable one.
