3. Sleep early and consistently (22:30) aka Grandpa mode. Yes, call me Grandpa, but I've always been a fan of routines. It helps reduce brain overload because you don't need to think about what you'll do next. Keeping the same rhythm lets your body know when it's time to shut down.
4. No coffee after noon. Caffeine has a lasting effect of over 10h+, which can impact your sleep. However, quitting caffeine is hard. It took me a week without caffeine to get rid of fuzzy feelings. Now, I drink coffee occasionally only and mostly drink green tea.
5. No screen after 21:30. To be fair, I'm not 100% following this as there's always stuff to work on, but I noticed that the tasks I was doing at this moment of the day were of poor quality and better done the next day after a deeply, restful night.
6. Avoid drinking water after 7 pm. I don't 100% follow this rule either, but when I do, it prevents me from waking up in the middle of the night. This saves time as I often struggle to fall back asleep.
