FAQ
Why is the habits category weighted so heavily?
Behavior outweighs gear when it comes to sleep. You can have a perfect bedroom and still sleep poorly with inconsistent timing or screens in bed. The reverse is rarely true — strong habits compensate for an imperfect environment.
Should I really get rid of my phone in the bedroom?
Ideally yes. The convenience cost is real, but so is the sleep cost: ambient light, blue light from picking it up, and the alerting effect of any content you open. A simple alarm clock does the wake-up job for ten dollars.
Do I really need a new mattress every 7-10 years?
Most mattresses lose meaningful support after 7-10 years, sooner under heavy use. If you're waking with new pain, sleeping better in hotels, or seeing visible sagging, the mattress is likely the cause.
What if I share a bed with someone whose habits differ from mine?
Compromise where you can: light is universally bad, so curtains and phone-out-of-the-room benefit both. For temperature and motion, split-firmness mattresses, two-comforter setups, or — increasingly mainstream — separate sleeping arrangements are healthy options.
Can a perfect environment fix my insomnia?
Environment is necessary but not sufficient for chronic insomnia. CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) is the gold-standard treatment. A good environment makes CBT-I work better, but it's the behavioral component that does the heavy lifting.
