I emphasize the importance of having a consistent daily routine, including a specific lights on and lights off time. Other tips include getting fresh air in the morning, avoiding screens in bed, and reducing alcohol consumption.

I also provide a sleep optimizer tool to track progress and make adjustments.

Takeaways

  • Consistency is key for improving sleep quality and regularity.
  • Having a specific lights on and lights off time helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle.
  • Getting fresh air in the morning can help start the wake window and establish a circadian rhythm.
  • Avoiding screens in bed and reducing alcohol consumption can improve sleep quality.
  • Using a sleep optimizer tool can track progress and identify factors that influence sleep.
