Text me what you thought of the show 😊
I share three evidence-based strategies to reduce circadian disruption, sleep deeper after nights, and protect long-term health without chasing perfection. Light timing, a simple breath reset, and a true blackout sleep environment form a practical plan you can start tonight.
• Why circadian rhythm misalignment drives night shift risks
• How morning light ruins daytime sleep and how to block it
• What makes orange blue-blocking lenses essential on commute
• How to build a cave-dark, cool, quiet sleep space
• When and why to get daylight after waking
• The 4–6/8 breath reset for nervous system calm
• How longer exhales lower arousal and improve focus
• Treating post-night sleep as a strategic nap
• One-strategy homework to build consistency
