## Resource

- Sleep is “first principle” work: if you don’t give yourself enough time in bed, better sleep can’t happen. - A lot of sleep problems are about crowded plates: work, kids, and late practices can push sleep later than you want. - The late-night “I deserve me time” trap is real — and it usually steals sleep more than it restores you. - Why sleep matters: brain reset (processing and storing the day), physical recovery, and emotional regulation (less irritability, more capacity). - The “I’m fine on 5–6 hours” argument: you might function, but research still points adults toward 7–9 hours, and long stretches of short sleep add up. - Low-hanging fruit: work backward from wake time, reduce screens before bed, darken the room, and keep the room cooler. - Not just blue light — what you do on screens (scrolling, dopamine hits, stimulation) can keep your brain up. - Personal tools that can help: timers for soothing sounds, simple meditation, eye masks, or experimenting with what you sleep in (socks, layers, etc.).
