Sleep
Sleep is the repair window. It is where the nervous system recalibrates, hormones reset, memory consolidates, and the body gets on with the maintenance work that waking life interrupts.
A pillar guide that now reads section by section.
The Sleep pillar now uses the same calmer reading flow as Nutrition: a clear overview here, then individual child pages for each section with local navigation and next-step buttons.
Why it is one of the pillars
Poor sleep raises the cost of everything else. Hunger regulation worsens, glucose handling suffers, stress rises, and recovery becomes harder.
The science
Sleep influences glymphatic clearance in the brain, hormonal rhythm, immune function, and tissue repair.
What it looks like in practice
The basics matter most: regular timing, lower evening stimulation, morning light, a cooler room, and enough recovery margin in the wider week.
The evening wind-down
Stop chasing stimulation late in the day: reduce doomscrolling, heavy work, and high-friction conversations before bed.
What tends to move the needle fastest
A consistent wake time that anchors the body clock even when bedtime varies slightly.
Sleep architecture checklist
Keep your wake time more consistent than your bedtime so your body clock has a clear signal.
Where to start
Start here: protect a consistent sleep window and reduce late-night light and stimulation.
How it connects
Better sleep improves appetite regulation, training adaptation, emotional regulation, and decision quality.
