My Principles for Great Sleep

  • Prioritise good sleep over anything else
  • Have a consistent wake up and sleep time
  • Have at least 5 minutes outside (even if cloudy) within 10 minutes of waking
  • Minimise eating or drinking (other than water) for at least 2 hours before sleep
  • Don’t use screens for at least 1 hour before sleep
  • Minimise caffeine intake within12 hours before sleep time (caffeine has a half-life of roughly 12 hours)
  • Ensure a comfortable room temperature
  • Use a weighted blanket when possible
  • Invest in a mattress and pillow that provides the support your spine and back need. Mattresses and pillows are the most important purchases you will ever make.
