Practices that may help

1. Time Affluence Practices (Cassie Holmes)
   Cassie Holmes’s research on time and happiness identifies several evidence-backed habits that increase felt time abundance: protecting a moderate amount of discretionary time, spending time on activities that match your strengths, investing in experiences over things, and being present in time you already have. Effects are real but modest; the biggest single factor is how you allocate and attend to the time you have, not how much of it there is.
2. Anchor the wind-down with a consistent starting cue
   A repeated pre-sleep ritual — a specific tea, a book, a certain playlist — becomes a conditioned cue that induces sleepiness over time.

7. Time Smart: Buying Back Your Time Affluence
   Ashley Whillans’s research shows that "time affluence" — the subjective sense of having enough time — predicts well-being better than income beyond a moderate level, and that concrete practices like outsourcing disliked tasks and protecting time for meaningful activities measurably raise it. The core studies are correlational with some experimental support for specific interventions.
8. Use relaxation training before bed
   Practice a structured relaxation technique to lower physiological arousal before sleep.

10. Eliminate time confetti — fragmented scraps of free time
