A summarized version of Dr. K's (HealthyGamerGG) video on the neuroscience of sleep schedules. Key points include: circadian rhythms create a limited sleep window driven by adenosine buildup and frontal lobe fatigue; modern devices cause emotional flooding at bedtime that disrupts sleep; doing some form of work, exercise, and eating properly during the day supports better sleep; and stress keeps the brain alert. Practical tips include waking up consistently early, avoiding immediate coffee, allowing unstructured time for emotional processing, and eating a carb-heavy dinner.
