Evening Sauna Wind-Down

A short, moderate-heat sauna session 2–3 hours before bed triggers a deeper core-temperature drop afterward — one of the strongest sleep interventions available. The heat is the stimulus; the rebound cooling is the payoff. Timed correctly, this is worth more than any sleep supplement you can buy.

Overview

This protocol turns a broad sleep goal into a repeatable sequence. The point is not to add complexity; it is to make the behavior easy to run the same way every time, then let the consistency compound.

Expected benefit

Faster sleep onset, measurably longer deep sleep (often +15–25 min per night on the sauna day), and a ritual that marks the transition from output mode to recovery mode.

How to think about it

Run it as written for the first block, then adjust one variable at a time. The useful signal comes from repeating the same inputs long enough to see what actually changes.
