SLEEP BEGINS BEFORE BED

Your brain learns from repeated cues. A consistent sequence can become a bridge between daytime alertness and rest, even when bedtime changes slightly.

CREATE THREE CUES

Choose one cue for the environment, one for the body, and one for the mind. Dim a lamp, wash your face slowly, then write tomorrow first task on paper. Keep the sequence short enough to repeat on difficult nights.

WHEN SLEEP DOES NOT COME

Avoid turning rest into a performance. If you are awake and frustrated, leave the bed briefly for a quiet activity in low light. Return when sleepiness appears. The aim is to preserve the bed as a cue for rest.
