The fixes
- Caffeine too lateCount back eight hours from the time you actually go to bed
- Morning light and your body clockTake something you already do in the morning
- Phone in bedPut your phone across the room, not on the nightstand, and keep the last hour before bed screen-free
- Short sleepWake up at the same time every day, even on weekends
- The nightcapSkip the nightcap. On any night you want to sleep well, stop using a drink as the thing that gets you to sleep.
