68| 321 Method For Better Sleep

What is up, my friends? Today, I am discussing a common struggle many of us face: sleepless nights. I recently helped a client transform his life by revolutionizing his sleep routine, and the changes were nothing short of astounding. We explored a simple yet powerful approach I call the 3-to-1 method for better sleep. This method focuses on creating effective systems rather than fixating on outcomes, ensuring sustainable results. My client, a chronic night owl, used to hit his pillow at around 2 a.m. only to be rudely awakened at 6 a.m. due to his responsibilities, but with a combination of small tweaks, we managed to shift his schedule. By stopping food intake three hours before bedtime, avoiding liquids two hours prior, and donning blue light blockers an hour before, he found himself peacefully asleep by 10 p.m., waking up refreshed at 6 a.m. These changes weren't just about adding hours to his slumber; they led to an incredible surge in his energy levels, transforming his daily life. I hope that you will join me today as I unpack this game-changing 3-to-1 method. It's not just about getting more sleep; it's about creating a sustainable system that can revolutionize your energy, focus, and overall well-being! With three simple steps, better sleep awaits you! If you get some helpful insight out of this episode, then please be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast app if you aren’t subscribed already so that you never miss a new episode, and if you would share the podcast with at least one other person you know who might also enjoy it and leave me a five-star review, that really helps me and the show out and would really mean a lot to me!   Time Stamps 1:02 - I share how a client struggled with sleep, often delaying bedtime until 2 a.m. 3:55 - Establishing habits, like brushing teeth before bedtime, involves automated routines. 4:55 - To improve sleep, use proven systems for quick and uninterrupted sleep. 6:45 - I share the 3-1 method, the first step being to stop eating at least three hours before bed. 7:49 - The second step is to stop drinking at least two hours before bed. 9:23 - The third and final step is to use blue light blockers an hour before bed. 12:16 - I remind you that achieving goals relies on effective systems. 13:22 - Good sleep leads to so many other good things in life!
