Educating individuals about sleep stages, circadian rhythms, and sleep propensity helps demystify the sleep process, reducing stress associated with awakenings and enabling informed choices about sleep timing.

“And it also coupled it with some education of it talked about how different sleep stages work. Talked about how sleep works, not as like a this is sleep 101 class, but it's more of a look, you're an athlete. You're trying to do all this stuff with your body and have it in peak condition and understand what's going under the hood. Let me teach you what you need to know about what we know about how the system works so that you can make the most informed choice that you can make. Teach them about how circadian rhythms work. Teach them about how sleep propensity builds across the day, dissipates, and when they're awake in the middle of the night, it just because they haven't built up enough sleep pressure yet. So, you got to give it a little bit of time before you can go back to sleep. Like, teach them how these processes work so that it demystifies it a little bit so even if they have an awakening, it doesn't become a stressful one.”
