Controversial Thoughts: My Nighttime Routine
Sleep is business. Plain and simple.
Other than optimizing my food, there is nothing I have found to be more beneficial to my performance every day than optimizing my sleep.
This means I don’t mess around with these tenets…
Light on my skin and eyes and grounding (usually through surfing) first thing in the am…
I don’t wear sunglasses, ever. I also don’t wear contacts in my eyes during the day.
10-hour feeding window, strictly adhered to. The first bite of food was 630am, the last bite was at 430pm. You know what I eat: #Animalbased
Red light in the house at night, all of them. Yes, I am a lizard. All devices have red screens after dark (Iris, etc). Firelight if I can.
No electronics 1 hour before bed. Read a book, meditate, etc. I do not watch TV. Ever.
Cool dark room, cooling pad on the bed, consistent bedtime (845-915pm).
What does your nighttime routine look like?
