Week 2 Overview

“You’re becoming a sleep expert, just like me.”

Congratulations for taking your first big steps on your journey towards
becoming a sleep champion last week. Welcome to week 2 of your journey!
Below you can find an overview of what you are going to learn.
We will start week 2 with defining your sleep chronotype and establishing a
healthy morning routine. Mid-week you will start your major bedroom
makeover.
This week we go deep into sleep quality and explore internal and external
factors to optimize it.
P.S. You don’t need to take any action on your bedroom right now. This
information is there so that you can come back to it any time, when it is
relevant for you. If it’s not applicable for you, just take those days as
implementation days and practice your daily habits!

or consider vibration or light cues.
