Sleep Smarter
by Shawn Stevenson
Twenty-one strategies for better sleep, light exposure, caffeine timing, temperature, magnesium, exercise timing, screens, in a conversational voice with a fourteen-day plan. It is practical and mostly sound, with occasional supplement enthusiasm that outpaces evidence. A good checklist for people who have never optimized sleep.
Read it if…
you want a practical checklist of sleep habits to try.
Skip it if…
you have a sleep disorder; see a clinician and Winter's book.
Three things you will actually use
- Morning light anchors the clock.
- Cool, dark, quiet; the basics are most of it.
- Caffeine has a long half-life; stop early.
Do this first
Get ten minutes of outdoor light within an hour of waking for a week.
Our verdict
Practical checklist, some overreach.
