Your Sleep Type

The Overthinker

Your mind refuses to clock out when your body does.

3 Things That Will Actually Help You:

Do a brain dump — write every worry on paper before bed so your mind can let go
Try 4-7-8 breathing: inhale 4 counts, hold 7, exhale 8 — activates your parasympathetic system
Keep a consistent wake time even on weekends — it anchors your rhythm and reduces nighttime anxiety

Your Sleep Type

The Light Sleeper

You are alert to everything — even when you are supposed to be unconscious.

3 Things That Will Actually Help You:

Invest in a white noise machine or fan — consistent sound masks disruptions better than silence
Blackout curtains and a sleep mask are non-negotiable; even tiny light signals disrupt deep sleep
Magnesium glycinate before bed calms the nervous system — check with your doctor first

Your Sleep Type

The Night Owl

Your internal clock runs late — and the world is not built for you.

3 Things That Will Actually Help You:

Get bright light within 30 minutes of waking — the most powerful signal to shift your clock earlier
Avoid screens and overhead lights after 9pm; blue light delays melatonin by up to 3 hours
Move your bedtime earlier by 15 minutes every few days rather than trying to flip it overnight

Your Sleep Type

The Chronically Exhausted

You are not sleeping poorly — you are simply not sleeping enough.

3 Things That Will Actually Help You:

Treat sleep like a meeting — schedule it and protect it; most adults need 7-9 hours, not 5-6
Identify your biggest sleep thief (scrolling, late TV, email) and set a hard stop 60 minutes before bed
A 20-minute nap before 2pm can partially offset a deficit — but do not rely on it long-term
