The evening wind-down

Key idea
“Give your brain a clear landing strip with repeated cues rather than more stimulation.”

Stop chasing stimulation late in the day: reduce doomscrolling, heavy work, and high-friction conversations before bed.

Eat early enough that digestion is not competing with sleep onset.

Give your brain a clear landing strip with repeated cues such as low light, a hot shower, reading, or quiet music.
