Today, we’re learning from Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker.
Matthew tells us: “Sleep is the single most effective thing we can do to reset our brain and body health each day.”
Here’s how to prioritize sleep starting tonight:
First, commit to a consistent schedule. Walker says: “Regularity is the single most important factor in sleep hygiene.” Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Next, protect your sleep environment. He tells us: “Darkness is essential for melatonin release.” Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and free from blue light.
And finally, avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. Walker warns: “Caffeine has a half-life of six hours.” That afternoon coffee? It’s still in your system when you try to sleep.
So... What’s one change you can make today to improve your sleep tonight?
