The 4 Fixes
- Hard stop on side hustle by 11:30pm — no working right up to sleep
- 20-30 min wind-down: phone away/night mode, dim lights, stretch or read
- Caffeine cutoff ~4-5pm (5-6hr half-life reaches into your midnight bedtime)
- Morning light within 30-60 min of waking — open curtains, brief outdoor time
Rationale: your side hustle pushes work right up to bedtime, so sleep onset is delayed and fragmented. A hard stop + wind-down buffer restores sleep quality without cutting total hours worked much. Caffeine cut by mid-afternoon and morning light both help reset circadian timing, which compounds with meal timing to stabilize energy through the day.
