Prior Wakefulness

Prior wakefulness is a very basic concept. It is simply the number of hours that have passed from the moment you awaken in the morning until you turn out the lights at night. By increasing prior wakefulness, you are stimulating your “sleep drive.” Naturally, the more hours you are awake the more you increase the pressure for sleep. You’re probably thinking, “of course I will be more tired the longer I’m awake” but there’s more to it than just that. Research has shown that by increasing prior wakefulness your sleep will be more restful. In other words, by increasing prior wakefulness as much as possible (without missing core sleep), your sleep will be more restorative because you will more easily enter the deep sleep stage(s). It is a scientifically proven fact that the more prior wakefulness, the more quality sleep!
