Tonight, choose by the friction
Sleep decisions work better when they start with tonight's constraint: time, light, caffeine, or a room cue.
Use the shortest wind-down
You need a close-down cue that can still happen after a long evening.
Open the 30-minute wind-down and keep only the last two steps if time is tight.
Do not turn one late night into a full sleep overhaul.Best when the user needs a reversible plan for the next hour, not a new identity.Morning is driftingAnchor the wake cue first
Bedtime is inconsistent because the day starts without a repeatable signal.
Use morning light timing before adding more evening rules.
Skip self-blame if work, caregiving, or a shifted schedule is the real constraint.This gives the hub a timing-first route rather than another generic sleep tip.Caffeine runs lateMove the cutoff, not the whole diet
Afternoon energy dips are pushing caffeine into the sleep window.
Choose one caffeine cutoff and one replacement drink for the usual late slot.
Do not use caffeine timing to manage severe sleepiness or sudden sleep changes.Useful when the sleep problem is a repeatable timing decision.The room keeps waking youFix one bedroom cue
Light, temperature, noise, or phone placement is the easiest change to make tonight.
Pick the bedroom temperature or quiet-room checklist before adding supplements.
Ask for qualified help if breathing problems, extreme sleepiness, or unsafe symptoms are present.Keeps the path environmental and low-risk before a user tries stronger claims.Choose the first useful page
Use the cards as entry points for the decision in front of you, not as a list to complete.
