LESSON 4 · Sleep Like Your Life Depends On It
Your Sleep Hygiene Overhaul
Make these changes in order of impact:
- Fixed wake time, 7 days a week — the single most powerful intervention. Your body sets its sleep drive based on wake time
- No caffeine after 2 PM — earlier if you are caffeine-sensitive
- Screens off 30-60 minutes before bed — or use blue light filters at minimum
- A wind-down routine — the same sequence every night trains your brain to expect sleep
- Bed for sleep only — no working, eating, or scrolling in bed
Change one thing per week instead of overhauling everything at once. Most people notice real improvement within a few weeks.
