Reading labels for caffeine counts in drinks and meds, from tea and chocolate to pain relievers, so your cutoff experiment stops lying to you.

A 12-minute wind-down routine beats a perfect hour you only manage twice a week. Teeth, five minutes of stretching, phone in the kitchen, lights off, done.

The worry page is a ten-minute paper exercise two to three hours before bed that turns open loops into appointments so your 3 a.m. brain can clock out.

Journaling at night helps sleep only if it closes loops instead of reopening them. Where to do it, when to do it, and the two-column rule.

A winter wind-down routine for dark evenings: dim the house early, take the warm shower, read paper, and let the season work with your sleep instead of against it.

Matcha vs coffee for sleep: the L-theanine story, the honest caffeine math, and why gentler still obeys the same cutoff as espresso.
