INSIGHT

Sleep Is Your Core Upgrade Mode

  • Sleep is the engine that powers health, performance, mood, and longevity.
  • Valuing sleep reframes rest as an active upgrade, not mere downtime.
ADVICE

Use Light To Set Your Internal Clock

  • Use light as a primary sleep cue: get morning sun and dim screens in the evening.
  • Set light patterns to align your internal clock and protect melatonin release.
ADVICE

Establish A Caffeine And Screen Curfew

  • Avoid stimulants and blue light at least 90 minutes before bed to let melatonin kick in.
  • Kick your caffeine curfew way earlier to prevent sleep disruption.
