1. Stop eating before bed
When you eat before bed, your body temperature is raised because of digestion.
This disrupts your sleep.
Aim to stop eating 3 hours before bed to let your body relax.

3. Use light effectively
To sleep better, your body needs to be cool.
Light is the main regulator of your body temperature because it signals to your brain when it's day or night.

Get morning sunlight.
Sunlight triggers your internal ‘clock’ which will:
• Give you more energy in the morning
• Help release melatonin (the sleep hormone) at night
Make it a habit to get 15+ minutes after you wake up.

Avoid blue light close to bed time.
Blue light is found in artificial light sources like screens and lightbulbs.
These trick your brain into thinking it’s day and keeps you up at night.
Limit your exposure 1-2 hours before bed.

4. Cool your room temperature
Your body’s ideal temperature for sleep is between 60° - 67° F (15.6° to 19.4° C).
Schedule your temperature to cool down 1-2 hours before bed.

5. Take a hot shower
Studies have shown, those who take a hot shower or bath 1-2 hours before bed fall asleep easier.
Why?
Warm water stimulates blood flow to the hands and feet, allowing body heat to escape quicker.
Lower body temperature = Easier to fall asleep.

6. Consistent sleep & wake times
Do you wake up early M-F and sleep in Sat-Sun?
Try to minimize this.
Inconsistent sleep & wake times corrupt your circadian rhythm.
Making it difficult to easily fall asleep and wake up with energy.

7. Limit your caffeine use
Caffeine blocks the sleep hormone, Adenosine.
But here’s the thing…
It can take up to 10 hours for caffeine to leave your body.
So, make it a rule to stop consuming it long before bed.
8 hours of sleep will benefit you more than 2 cups of coffee.

• Working
• Exercising
• Watching TV
• Using social media
Do activities that’ll help you relax:
• Journal
• Meditate
• Read fiction
• Take a warm shower
It’ll become 10x easier to fall asleep.

To help, buy:
• A quality pillow
