You have tried the chamomile tea, the meditation app, the magnesium, the lavender pillow spray. You have cut down on caffeine. You have put the phone away (mostly).

It does not insult you with another sleep hygiene checklist. It gives you a clear model of what is actually keeping you awake, and a small system of evidence-based behavioural changes that work for most people who apply them honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system has four parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Two-Hour Wind-Down\u003c\/b\u003e, designed for adults with real lives and real evenings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe 20-Minute Rule\u003c\/b\u003e, the counter-intuitive technique that reverses the bed-equals-wakefulness conditioning chronic poor sleepers develop over years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Worry Window\u003c\/b\u003e, a ten-minute daily practice that quiets the racing mind at bedtime more reliably than any meditation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Wake-Up Anchor\u003c\/b\u003e, the most underused lever in adult sleep, and the one that does more than anything you do at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlus repair tools for when nights go badly: a Bad Night Protocol that prevents one bad night from becoming a bad week, and a Middle-of-the-Night Toolkit written for someone reading at 3am.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe techniques are drawn from CBT-I, the most rigorously studied non-medication treatment for chronic insomnia and the standard of care recommended by every major sleep medicine body in the world.
