Sleep Hygiene Protocol

Started Sleep Hygiene Protocol alongside restless legs and broken sleep management. Week 4: I noticed a subtle improvement. Week 10: the symptoms were about 70% better. Would definitely continue.

Tried

Sleep Hygiene Protocol

After 8 weeks on Sleep Hygiene Protocol, I'd say it made a modest difference to my racing mind at bedtime. Hard to tell if it was this or other lifestyle changes. Not sure if I'll continue long-term.

Sleep Hygiene Protocol

Unfortunately Sleep Hygiene Protocol didn't work for my poor sleep quality and fatigue. I gave it 8 weeks and I saw no real change. Disappointing but at least I know now.

Tried

Sleep Hygiene Protocol

My endocrinologist suggested Sleep Hygiene Protocol for my poor sleep quality and fatigue. It took about 3 weeks to notice anything, but by week 12 my quality of life improved dramatically. It's been a real game-changer for me.

Tried

Magnesium Glycinate Sleep Hygiene Protocol

Combining magnesium with a strict sleep routine made a real difference. The magnesium alone wasn't enough when I'd tried it before, and sleep hygiene alone didn't help either. Together though — lights dimmed at 8:30, no screens, magnesium at 9, bed at 10 — I went from 4 hours broken sleep to 6-7 hours within a month. Still not perfect but dramatically better.

Oura Ring tracking Sleep hygiene protocol

I became slightly obsessive about my Oura ring data which was probably counterproductive at first — checking every morning and getting anxious about bad scores. Once I relaxed about the numbers and focused on the trends it became genuinely useful. Over three months of strict sleep hygiene I could see my readiness scores improving from the low 60s to the mid 70s. The data helped me identify that alcohol was my biggest sleep disruptor — even one glass of wine tanked my scores the next day. Without the tracker I might never have made that connection so clearly.
