🔬 What You’ll Learn in This Series
Dr. Jenna Lee (Neuroscientist & Sleep Researcher): These days, poor sleep isn’t just common — it’s normalized. But chronic sleep debt can lead to brain fog, weight gain, immune suppression, and mood instability.
Alex (Exhausted Professional): I try to sleep early, but I still wake up tired. Is it just age? Or stress?
Dr. Lee: It’s more than that. Your brain needs deep, uninterrupted cycles to reset. But today’s environment—screens, noise, even diet—interrupts that recovery. Most people are unknowingly sabotaging their sleep quality.
Alex: So it’s not just about how long I sleep, but how well?
Dr. Lee: Exactly. In this series, we’ll show you how to work with your biology—not against it—to rebuild real, restorative rest.

🙋♀️ FAQ – Let’s Clear Things Up
1. Why do I wake up tired even after 7–8 hours?
→ Because time in bed ≠ quality sleep. If your deep sleep and REM stages are interrupted (by stress, screens, or noise), your brain doesn’t complete its recovery cycle.
2. How much does blue light affect sleep?
→ A lot. Blue light blocks melatonin by up to 50%, according to Harvard research (2020). This delays your brain's sleep preparation.
3. Do magnesium or melatonin actually help?
→ Yes — but only when used correctly. Magnesium glycinate helps calm the brain. Low-dose melatonin (0.3–1mg) supports falling asleep without grogginess.
4. Should I track my sleep?
→ Sleep trackers can help spot patterns, but don’t obsess. Some users develop “orthosomnia” (sleep anxiety from tracking).
5. Can I really improve my sleep in 7 days?
→ Yes, if you follow a structured reset: adjust light exposure, food timing, wind-down rituals, and screen habits.
