10 Ways To Better Sleep

3 Ways Managers Can Optimize Sleep
As a manager, you’re no different than an athlete.
You need energy, focus, and clarity to lead effectively.
Here are 3 simple ways to improve your sleep:

1.    Treat sleep like the most important meeting

You wouldn’t miss an important meeting, right?
So start treating sleep the same way:

Prioritize a consistent bedtime and wake-up time:
→    Go to bed at the same time
→    Wake up at the same time

Even on weekends?
Yep, even on weekends.
I know it’s hard.
But here’s the thing — your body loves routines!
Routines help regulate your internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

2.    Set boundaries with tech

You’re not scrolling before bed, right?
Oh, thank God.
I know it might feel relaxing, but blue light from screens can mess with your sleep.
And those late-night work emails?
They’ll still be there in the morning, trust me.

Try this:
→    Unplug at least 30 minutes before bed

Use that time for something calming, like:
→    Reading
→    Stretching
→    Gentle yoga
Personally, I switch from blue to warm light at 4 p.m. — it’s a game changer.




3.    Create a sleep-friendly space

Our bedroom should feel like a sanctuary:
→    Cool
→    Dark
→    Quiet

Why?
Because these conditions signal to our brain that it’s time to rest.

And if that’s not enough, try this before bed:
→    The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique

Here’s how it works:
→    Lie down comfortably
→    Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds
→    Hold your breath for 7 seconds
→    Breathe out through your mouth for 8 seconds
→    Repeat 4–5 times
This simple exercise calms your nervous system, making it easier to drift off.
