🌟 Today’s Sleep Tip: The 90-Minute Rule

Your body runs on natural sleep cycles of about 90 minutes. Instead of aiming for “8 hours,” try planning your sleep in 90-minute blocks. For example:

  • 6 hours (4 cycles)

  • 7.5 hours (5 cycles)

  • 9 hours (6 cycles)

This helps you wake up at the end of a cycle instead of in the middle — which means you’ll feel more refreshed even if you sleep less.

👉 Try this tonight: Count backwards from your desired wake-up time in 90-minute chunks, and set your bedtime accordingly.

🛠 Quick Sleep Hack: Cool Your Room

Science shows the ideal sleep temp is 60–67°F. Too warm? Try:

  • A fan near your bed

  • Breathable cotton or linen sheets

  • A lukewarm shower before bed (it helps your core body temp drop faster)
