Is your problem determining when to go to sleep, or actually making yourself go to sleep when you think you should for optimal effectiveness?
Given external evidence that my performance is reduced, I don't think getting myself to go to sleep will be a significant problem. My issue is usually the belief that I'm still getting useful stuff done, and actively resisting sleep on that basis; evidence to the contrary is something I think I would treat as real data.
I'm thinking that it should be possible to decide when to sleep based on reduced performance.
Can anyone suggest a tool for that purpose? Perhaps some reaction time testing software?
I guess I would have to track myself during the day to make a baseline, which is fine.
But without some sort of test I end up staying up way pass effectiveness, which is a waste of my time.
