Что убивает твой сон и как это исправить (тирлист)

Summary

The presenter lists 20 habits he believes can undermine sleep and, in some cases, hormone health. His central recommendations are to keep a consistent sleep schedule, build a calming evening routine, and support the body’s day–night rhythm.

Key strategies and self-care tips

• Move strenuous exercise earlier. Heavy lifting and sparring late in the day may leave some people too stimulated to sleep. The presenter notes that people respond differently.
• Make the bedroom dark, cool, and quiet. Dim bright lights after dark, use warm lighting, and consider blackout curtains. Keep the room cool throughout the night, and reduce disruptive noise or try earplugs if it cannot be controlled.
• Limit fluids close to bedtime if they lead to nighttime bathroom trips.
• Avoid nicotine and alcohol, which the presenter says can disrupt sleep and make it more fragmented.
• Get outdoor light at the right times. Spend about 5–15 minutes outdoors in the morning; stay out longer on cloudy days, and don’t look directly at the sun. The presenter also recommends going outdoors near sunset as another cue for the body clock.
• Keep a regular sleep and wake schedule. Choose consistent times, ideally varying by no more than about 30 minutes—and at most an hour. He suggests allowing roughly nine hours in bed to account for time spent falling asleep and to get adequate sleep.
• Set a caffeine cutoff. Avoid coffee, energy drinks, and pre-workout products after noon, since caffeine may remain in the body for hours.
• Build daytime activity. Walking, exercise, cardio, mentally demanding work, and other activities can help create sleepiness by evening. The presenter specifically suggests aiming for around 10,000 steps.
• Manage stress and wind down at night. Try relaxing activities, meditation, and time with supportive friends. He also recommends starting a calming pre-bed routine—such as reading a light book—about an hour before sleep.
• Reduce evening screen exposure. Limit bright and blue light after 7–8 p.m., dim screens, or use night mode or a red-screen setting.
• Eat a varied, nutrient-rich diet. The presenter recommends getting magnesium and other micronutrients from foods such as vegetables, fruit, greens, grains, and animal products, rather than relying on supplements as a first resort.
• Avoid large meals close to bedtime. Leave at least 2–3 hours after a substantial meal. If hungry later, choose a light snack.
• Don’t undereat carbohydrates, according to the presenter. He suggests eating an amount suited to one’s activity level and having carbohydrate-rich food about 3–4 hours before bed.
