RESOURCES FOR EPISODE

Your Spark Action Steps This Week

Choose ONE “Sleep Builder” and commit to it for seven nights straight:

Option 1: The 20-Minute Wind-Down Ritual

Turn your home into a calm zone.

Option 2: Protein + Fiber Bedtime Snack

Great for women who wake up hungry or anxious around 2–3 a.m.

Option 3: Warm Shower or Bath

Raises your body temperature so you cool gradually—signaling sleep.

Option 4: 4–6 Breathing

This directly lowers cortisol.

Option 5: Lights-Dimmed Hour

Your circadian rhythm loves darkness.

Option 6: Screen-Free Last Hour of the Day

Your brain needs fewer inputs—not more.

Pick one. Not three. Not five. One.

Mastery comes from consistency, not intensity.
