Anchors first. Routine second. Consistency always.
Goal: Better sleep Wake time: 07:00 Caffeine cutoff: 14:00 Wind-down: 30 minutes Main issue: late-screen
- Anchor your wake time; bedtime follows. - Protect the last hour of the day. - Small consistency beats occasional perfection.
- Wake time: 07:00 (fixed). - Caffeine cutoff: 14:00. - Wind-down: 30 minutes. - Rule: No phone in bed. - Rule: Screens off 45 minutes before sleep (or use strict grayscale + blocker). - If sleep is bad, don’t compensate with long naps; keep anchors.
- Dim lights. - Prep tomorrow (clothes / top 1 task). - Low-stimulus activity (reading, stretch, shower). - In bed: no problem solving; if needed, write it down and stop.
- Daily: wake time hit (yes/no) - Daily: caffeine cutoff hit (yes/no) - Weekly: average sleep quality (1–5)
- What broke the anchors? - Which rule helped most? - What one change improves environment or routine next week?
