If you're reading this at 1am, the answer probably isn't a new pillow. It's a handful of small behavioural shifts that, applied steadily, rewrite how easily you fall, and stay, asleep.

Anchor your wake time

Counter-intuitively, the hardest part of sleep is the morning. A fixed wake time pulls everything else into rhythm.

Dim the last hour

Bright overhead light tells your body it's still daytime. Switch to lamps an hour before bed and your melatonin starts working with you, not against you.
