Episode notes
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.
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.
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.
