01The Science (Physiological Mechanism)

To fall and stay deeply asleep, your body needs to drop its core temperature by about 1°C (2°F). It does this by opening blood vessels near the skin and releasing a tiny bit of heat through mild sweating.

02The Actionable Rule & Biometric Benchmark

Stop drinking large amounts of water 90 minutes before bedtime so you do not wake up to use the bathroom. If you wake up hot, improve room airflow instead of drinking freezing water in bed.

03Daily Practice (1-Minute Protocol)

Take just a small, gentle sip of water if you feel thirsty right now, and make sure your room is well-ventilated.
