Day 1: The Hard Reset
The first day requires discipline. You must force your body to stay awake until your new target bedtime.
- Wake up at your new target time, no matter how tired you are.
- Get bright sunlight in your eyes immediately.
- Do not take any naps.
- Stop caffeine by 12 PM.
- Eat your meals at the times appropriate for your new schedule.
Temperature Control
Take a hot shower 90 minutes before your new bedtime to trigger a core body temperature drop.
Day 2: Anchoring the Rhythm
Your body will start to adapt. Consistency is vital today.
- Wake up at the exact same time as Day 1.
- Maintain the light exposure protocol.
- Go to bed exactly 15 minutes before your target sleep time.
