Sleep Hygiene Checklist
The Complete Sleep Hygiene Protocol
SLEEP HYGIENE AUDIT
=====================
Rate each item: [Y] Yes/Good [N] No/Needs Work [?] Unsure
SCHEDULE
[ ] Consistent bedtime (within 30 min, including weekends)
[ ] Consistent wake time (within 30 min, including weekends)
[ ] Sleep window matches my chronotype
[ ] 7-9 hours allocated for sleep
EVENING ROUTINE (1-2 hours before bed)
[ ] Screens off or using blue light filters 60+ min before bed
[ ] Avoid stimulating content (news, arguments, intense shows)
[ ] Relaxation routine in place (reading, stretching, bath)
[ ] Dim lighting in the home after sunset
[ ] No heavy meals within 2-3 hours of bedtime
[ ] No alcohol within 3 hours of bedtime
[ ] No caffeine after 2 PM (or 8+ hours before bed)
[ ] No intense exercise within 3 hours of bedtime
BEDROOM ENVIRONMENT
[ ] Temperature: 60-67F (15-19C)
[ ] Darkness: Room is very dark (blackout curtains/eye mask)
[ ] Noise: Quiet or consistent white noise
[ ] Mattress is comfortable and supportive
[ ] Pillows support neck alignment
[ ] Bedroom used only for sleep and intimacy
[ ] No visible clocks (prevents clock-watching anxiety)
[ ] Phone is silenced or out of the room
DAYTIME HABITS
[ ] Morning sunlight exposure within 30 min of waking (10-15 min)
[ ] Regular physical activity (but not too close to bedtime)

[ ] Consistent meal times
[ ] Adequate hydration (but tapering before bed)
[ ] Stress management practices

Bedroom Environment Optimization
Temperature
Optimal range: 60-67F (15.5-19.5C)
Core body temperature must drop 2-3F to initiate sleep
A warm bath 1-2 hours before bed paradoxically helps (vasodilation cools core)
Layer bedding so you can adjust during the night
Consider cooling mattress pads if you run hot
Light
Goal: As close to pitch darkness as possible
Blackout curtains or cellular shades
Cover LED lights on electronics with tape
Eye mask as backup (silk or contoured)
Nightlight only if necessary (red/amber, never blue/white)
Avoid falling asleep to TV or podcasts (variable stimulation)
Air Quality
Open window slightly if possible (fresh air and slight cooling)
Air purifier if allergies are an issue
Humidity: 30-50% (humidifier or dehumidifier as needed)
Clean bedding weekly (dust mites are a common sleep disruptor)

Sleep Schedule Design
Calculating Your Ideal Sleep Window
SLEEP SCHEDULE CALCULATOR
===========================
Step 1: Required wake time (work/life): ___:___ AM
Step 2: Target sleep duration: ___ hours
Step 3: Sleep onset latency (time to fall asleep): ~___ min
Step 4: Calculate bedtime:
Wake time - sleep duration - onset latency = bedtime
Example: 6:30 AM - 8 hrs - 15 min = 10:15 PM bedtime
Step 5: Wind-down routine start:
Bedtime - 60 min = start dimming lights, begin routine
Example: 10:15 PM - 60 min = 9:15 PM start routine
MY SCHEDULE:
9:__ PM - Begin wind-down routine
__:__ PM - In bed, lights out
__:__ AM - Wake time (alarm)
__:__ AM - Out of bed (no snooze)
__:__ AM - Bright light exposure
Adjusting Your Schedule (Gradual Shifting)
Shift bedtime and wake time by 15-30 minutes every 2-3 days
Do NOT try to shift by more than 1 hour at once
Use morning light exposure to anchor the new schedule
Avoid sleeping in on weekends by more than 30-60 minutes
Sleep Restriction Therapy (for insomnia - use with caution)
This is a clinical technique. Consider working with a sleep specialist.
Calculate actual sleep time (e.g., 5.5 hours)
Set sleep window to match actual sleep time (not less than 5 hours)
Pick fixed wake time; calculate bedtime (wake 6 AM - 5.5 hrs = 12:30 AM)
Stay in bed ONLY during this window
When sleeping 85%+ of time in bed for 5 days, extend window by 15 min
Repeat until reaching target duration
Screen Time Management
Blue Light and Melatonin
Blue light (450-495nm) suppresses melatonin production
Even dim blue light within 2 hours of bed delays sleep onset
The issue is both wavelength AND brightness
Screen Management Protocol
Time Before Bed
Action
3+ hours
No restrictions needed
2 hours
Enable night mode / blue light filter on all devices
