Schedule

Sleep time that works decently with Pacific Time is bed at 2 to 3 PM PT. (During daylight savings this is 2:30 to 3:30 AM IST.)

Wind-down

Decrease resting heart rate before bed. One way: restorative yoga (sleep.jacobcole.net). Generally research Iyengar Yoga and Restorative Yoga with yoga blankets and props. Find a restorative yoga class in your area for deep relaxation.
Don't eat for three hours before sleeping — improves sleep outcomes (per Bryan Johnson).
Only dim and red light at night. Optionally wear blue-blocker glasses.

Environment

Blackout curtains + high-quality sleep mask. Both, not either.

Diagnostics

Consider a sleep tracker — Whoop strap or Oura Ring — to debug sleep-quality issues.

Morning

Bright-light exposure for at least 15 minutes. "Morning" in the circadian clock is mainly defined by light exposure schedule, not solar time. It's also mildly affected by eating schedule (Zeitgeber).

Supplements

Get a blood panel.
Most people need substantial D3 — especially with low sun exposure or darker skin. Take D3 + K2 together so you can use a higher D3 dosage safely.

Naps

10–20 min for short naps (avoids sleep inertia)
90 min for a full REM cycle
