I’d like my challenge to bring me back to a more grounded state, meaning:
1) establishing a regular healthy sleep/wake cycle (getting at least 8 hours of sleep daily), which I’m finding myself often to neglect for longer periods of time
2) 15-30 minutes of meditation before going to bed, maybe with journaling?

Ah, I meant it that way: I can’t always control that I get 8 hours of sleep (especially when traveling, due to late arrivals, or long drives and having to get up early). But I’d like to make it a habit for most days, so I wondered what the best approach would be.
It’s probably more realistic to go for meditating before bed and journaling, and reactivating an old-school alarm clock to avoid using my phone.

15-30 minutes of meditation and journaling before bed seems really doable but with the 8 hours/day I’m a bit uncertain (e.g. what to do when a flight/train ride is delayed?)… I’d like to try it and maybe allow myself 3 excuses in case of emergencies? Or would that be cheating? 😅

It’s more of a “not having the discipline/attention”-problem that has established over the past 5 years. I find it difficult to get enough sleep when traveling (one or two weeks per month), as being on the road makes me a little nervous and stressed out. I’ve noticed some difficulties finding a relaxed state of mind and winding down in the evening and often I’m running on 5-6 h of sleep/night when not at home.
It’s probably natural (to a degree) but it’s not healthy and I’d like to take the time to consciously wind down and make room for sleep before midnight.
