The 3-2-1 method for fixing sleep without trying harder

Atom · refreshed Search related

A memorable pre-sleep protocol: stop eating 3 hours before bed, stop drinking liquids 2 hours before bed, and stop screens 1 hour before bed. Each rule is backed by studies — late meals correlate with nocturnal awakening, even water disrupts sleep quality close to bedtime, and bright screens (especially phones) overstimulate the brain right when it needs to power down. Swap the phone for a Kindle (no backlight disruption) or a fiction book, since fiction helps the brain switch off whereas non-fiction keeps it alert.
