A Simple Evening Protocol for Deeper Sleep
Seven evidence-aligned habits you can stack into a 60-minute wind-down routine for more restorative sleep.
Contents
Sleep quality is downstream of what you do in the 60 minutes before bed. Here’s a stackable protocol you can adopt one step at a time.
The wind-down stack
- Dim the lights an hour before bed to support melatonin onset.
- Stop eating ~3 hours before sleep where possible.
- Cool the room to around 18 °C / 65 °F.
- Park your worries — write tomorrow’s list so your mind can switch off.
Make it stick
Pick one step this week. Add the next once it’s automatic. Consistency beats intensity for circadian habits.
