Why Sleep Environment Matters

  • Melatonin Production: Darkness stimulates melatonin, your body’s natural sleep hormone.
  • Mood & Focus: Deep sleep enhances emotional balance, memory, and attention.
  • Hormonal Balance: Growth hormone, cortisol, and other key hormones rely on restful sleep.
  • Detoxification: Your brain clears metabolic waste more efficiently during quality sleep.

Effort: No Screens 1 Hour Before Bed + Journaling Release Ritual

  • Why it works: Screens emit blue light that tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime, delaying sleep. Journaling helps release mental clutter so your mind is calm.
