01The Science (Physiological Mechanism)

Gravity pulls fluid into your feet and ankles during the day. Elevating your legs lets gravity naturally drain that pooled fluid back toward your heart, lowering physical strain.

02The Actionable Rule & Biometric Benchmark

Rest your legs propped up on a stack of pillows or against a wall for 5 to 10 minutes before bed to soothe tired feet and ease your body into relaxation.

03Daily Practice (1-Minute Protocol)

Prop your feet up on a couple of pillows for 5 minutes before turning off the lights tonight.
