Morning( 1:30 hours after bed)
Mid-Day( everything in between)
Night( 1:30 hours before bed)
Each of these parts is important. And it’s important that you optimize everything.
That’s why today I’ve decided to talk about Night-time. What to do 1:30 hours before bed. And how you can optimize your sleep so you start the new day fresh!
No Blue Light!
If you want to get the best sleep possible, it’s recommended to stop using technology( at least stop being exposed to blue light), 2–3 hours before bed.
I don’t really think 3 hours is necessary, based on my anecdotal experience 1:30 hours before bed of no technology( or at least blue light) is enough.
So, step one would be to turn off blue light!
Complete Darkness!
You should also make sure that you sleep in pitch black!
Exposure to light during nighttime can mess up the naturally programmed increase of melatonin levels, which slows down the body’s natural progression to sleep.

I too have noticed that sleeping in pitch black is better.
The human brain was designed to sleep at night time and wake up when the sun rose. And our brains still work that way.
If you can’t have complete darkness then at least try to have natural darkness( from the sky) and the only light should come from the moon and stars!
Also, sleeping with no noise or white noise helps!
What Did I Do & What Will I Do?
Before you go to bed, try to journal your day.What did you do?
What would you start doing?
What would you like to stop doing?
This way you can process your information better and remember that you remember more if you study( in this case process information) before sleep.
