ADVICE

Warm Feet, Cooler Core

Keep your feet warm while keeping the room cool to allow core temperature to drop for melatonin signaling.
Use socks or a small foot blanket and a lighter cover for the rest of your body to fall asleep faster.

ADVICE

Use Sea Salt Before Bed

Take a pinch of sea salt in the evening or add it to your food to stabilize aldosterone and lower nighttime adrenaline.
Avoid salty carbs and get sodium separately to prevent a 2–3AM fight-or-flight spike.

ADVICE

Practice Intentional Nose Breathing

Breathe through your nose with slow rhythms (≈4s inhale, 5s exhale) before bed to calm the autonomic nervous system.
Use this patterned nose breathing to quiet thinking and increase cellular oxygenation for sleep.
