How does Sleep Hygiene Protocol work?
Consistent sleep-wake timing entrains the circadian clock via light-dark cycle cues acting on the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Caffeine restriction avoids adenosine receptor antagonism in the evening. Cool bedroom temperature supports the drop in core body temperature required for sleep onset. Reducing blue light exposure supports melatonin secretion from the pineal gland.
