12 ways to sleep like a teenager

Hello beautiful people.

My last post was around morning routines so it made perfect sense to cover sleep schedules straight after.

Routines are all the rage right now. Maybe we’re fascinated by the inner habits of the greats because we think if we do some of what they do, we’d be more like them? Whatever the reason, I hope the ideas below help you when building your own wind down routine. Remember that it’s better to be effective than efficient when trying something new.

12 actions to help you sleep like a teenager:

1. Dr Matthew Walker - (Going to sleep is not like a light switch you turn off/on. It’s like landing a plane - you have to descend to sleep.)

   1. 10-15 mins of meditation

   2. Avoid computers, phones and tablets an hour before bed

2. Dr Barbara O’Neill - Eat 3-4 hours before you get into bed

3. Greg Isenberg -

   1. Listen to a brown noise Spotify playlist

   2. Sleep with EightSleep

   3. Drink a soothing, warming cup of Dream Beam Powder 30 mins before bed

4. Ali Abdaal - Use mouthtape

5. Andrew Wilkinson -

   1. Switch iPhone screen to a red tint 4+ hours before bed

   2. Listen to a white noise machine

   3. No drinking anything for 1.5 hours before bed (so you don’t wake up to pee)

   Andrew Huberman:

   1. 30 mins of NSDR at least 3 times a week

   2. Takes a supplement stack 30-60 mins before sleep:

      1. Magnesium Threonate or Magnesium Bigglycinate (100-200mg);

      2. Apigenin (50mg); and
