What to Do This Week: The 3-Week “Better Bedhead” Challenge
Week 1: Same Time, Same Place
- Target: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day — even weekends.
- Why it’s good: Regulates your body clock and helps you fall asleep faster.
- Bonus tip: Set a “get ready for bed” alarm. Yes, like for toddlers.
Week 2: Screens Off, Dreams On
- Target: Power down devices 30 minutes before sleep.
- Why it’s good: Blue light messes with melatonin — that magical sleepy dust.
- Bonus tip: Replace screen time with a book, a journal, or judging people on Zillow. Quietly, of course.
Week 3: Nap Smarter
- Target: Keep naps under 30 minutes and before 3:00 p.m.
- Why it’s good: Recharges your brain without wrecking your bedtime.
- Bonus tip: Set a 25-minute nap timer and pretend you’re doing a NASA sleep study.
