For anyone with poor sleep quality. Follow the Huberman Lab protocol with morning sunlight exposure and evening screen shutdown to reset your circadian rhythm.
Choose consistent bed and wake times. Stick to them even on weekends.
Create darkness, coolness, and quiet. Eliminate screens 1 hour before bed.
Establish a relaxing pre-bed routine. Signal your body it is time to sleep.
You can still optimize your sleep! The plan helps you work with your natural rhythm while establishing better sleep hygiene practices. It's about quality and consistency, not fighting your biology.
Most people experience improvements within 1-2 weeks of consistent practice. Better sleep quality often comes before changes in sleep duration as your body adjusts.
This plan can help, but it's not a replacement for medical treatment. The techniques focus on sleep hygiene and routine, which benefit most sleep issues. Consult a doctor for persistent insomnia.
