THE PROTOCOL: Sleep Like a High Performer
Most people treat sleep as passive. You lie down and hope your body figures it out. That's leaving performance on the table.
60 min before bed: Drop your room to 65-68°F. Your core temp must fall to enter deep sleep. A cool room forces it faster.
30 min before bed: 200-400mg Magnesium Glycinate. Activates GABA receptors and directly increases slow-wave sleep.
First 10 min after waking: Get outside. Morning light resets your circadian clock and determines how well you sleep 16 hours later.
THE DATA: A 2023 Sleep Medicine Reviews study found this combination increases slow-wave sleep by 34%.
