Track sleep data with Whoop to enhance sleep quality
Using a device like a Whoop band to gather data is essential for creating intuitions about what improves or worsens your sleep.
Use 10,000 lux light in the morning to boost mood and energy
Turning on a 10,000 lux light for a few minutes first thing in the morning helps set your circadian rhythm and improves mood and energy.
Sleep independently for improved sleep quality
It is suggested that sleeping independently from a partner may yield higher quality sleep for both individuals due to differing routines and preferences.
Reserve bedroom solely for sleep to enhance rest quality
To improve sleep quality, do nothing in your bedroom except for sleep, which trains your body to associate the environment with rest.
Optimize sleep with temperature-controlled mattress
An Eight Sleep mattress can optimize sleep by setting different temperatures for deep sleep (71°F) and REM sleep (73°F).
Limit alcohol consumption to preserve deep sleep quality
Personal data shows that consuming alcohol in the latter part of the day can decimate deep sleep by as much as 80%.
