Sleep Optimization

Optimize sleep quality and duration for health and performance.

Sleep Science Basics

Sleep Cycles (90 min each)

NREM (75%): Deep restorative sleep — tissue repair, immune function
REM (25%): Dream sleep — memory consolidation, emotional processing

Optimal Schedule

7-9 hours for adults
Consistent bedtime + wake time (even weekends)
Wake up at the end of a cycle (multiples of 90 min from bedtime)

Sleep Hygiene Protocol

2 Hours Before Bed

[ ] Dim lights, use warm color temperature
[ ] No screens (or blue light blockers)
[ ] No intense exercise
[ ] No heavy meals, caffeine, or alcohol
[ ] Room temperature: 65-68°F (18-20°C)
[ ] White noise or earplugs if needed

30 Minutes Before Bed

[ ] Wind-down routine (same order every night)
[ ] Read fiction (not work-related)
[ ] Journal to offload racing thoughts
[ ] Stretch or gentle yoga
[ ] Avoid bright bathroom lights

Environment Design

Complete darkness: Blackout curtains, tape LED lights
Cool temperature: Cooler room = deeper sleep
Quiet: Earplugs or white noise machine
Comfortable bed: Mattress 7-10 years lifespan
Clean air: Open window or air purifier

Tracking & Adjustment

Use wearable (Oura, Apple Watch, Fitbit) to track:

Time in bed vs actual sleep
Deep sleep percentage (>15% ideal)
HRV trend (higher = better recovery)
Consistency score

Adjust based on data: if deep sleep low → increase evening wind-down. If latency high → no caffeine after 2pm.
