An executive can still lead a board meeting while struggling to follow a conversation, waking repeatedly at night, and dreading the next flight.

Buy a red bulb and sleep better. That advice is everywhere, it’s tidy, and it’s incomplete enough to leave high performers stuck. A circadian rhythm night light isn’t a color choice. It’s a decision about how much light reaches your eyes, for how long, and at what time of night. Get those three wrong and

Most bedtime advice gets this wrong: not every happy thought helps you sleep.

Waking up with blurry vision after waking up is often blamed on sleep deprivation, dehydration, or “sleep inertia.” That explanation is convenient, but it’s incomplete.
