Now, for the big "reset"
Starting today, I am running a 4-week experiment taking better care of my health. This involves- exercising at least 4 times each week
- learning mindfulness for 10 minutes each day
- listening to audiobooks if I have trouble sleeping
I want to see if these three items will reset my sleep and internal clock from its current unsustainable randomness to a schedule resembling a "normal" person.
P.S. Well, mindfulness is a more complicated subject than I thought. Some reputable places/people question if "mindfulness" harms some people:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/magazine/the-muddied-meaning-of-mindfulness.html. According to this latter piece, "mindfulness" is a Buddhist meditation stripped of religion, defined along the way as “The awareness that arises through paying attention on purpose in the present moment, and non-judgmentally” (Kabat-Zinn), and coming on the heals of other techniques for self-actualization, positive-thinking, self-help, recovery, and other mumbo-jumbo and psycho-babble.
