My Bedtime during the night?
If one wants to sync their body to the rhythm of nature then the sleep time should be 10 pm and wake-up time 6 am, aligning broadly with the sun’s setting and rising. According to some experts getting into bed between 8 pm to 12 pm will get you adequate sleep including both restorative and dream rich sleep. The strongest sleep drive is between 2 am to 4 am, so make sure you are asleep at this time. But if you don’t sleep well at this time then you may have the urge of sleeping between 1 pm to 3 pm in the afternoon.
In the Morning (Before 10 AM) how much time you spent in the outdoor activity
Light is the key zeitgeber in the circadian system and interacts with the master clock in the SCN via non-image-forming pathways connecting retina and SCN. Unsurprisingly, light therefore also affects sleep. Natural daylight at high intensities as experienced outside buildings has previously been shown to (1) advance the timing of sleep to earlier hours, (2) affect the duration of sleep, and (3) improve sleep quality. It has been found that each additional hour spent outdoors advanced sleep by ~30 min.
