Decent sleep is good. I’ve been having maintenance insomnia (waking up in the early morning and unable to go back to sleep). It’s been terrible, but I’m finally getting better using evening light exposure to get my circadian rhythm to be later.

4am cortisol spike?

I suppose it doesn’t help that the sun sets so darn early there.

Exactly. But you can’t exactly tell your body that that’s too early for the cortisol except by using the light. So I have a weird routine where I put a bright lamp against the wall and stare at the bright wall in the evening :)
