Bryan Johnson achieved what he says is the best sleep score ever recorded after a lifetime of poor sleep. He argues grind culture wrongly treats sleep as weakness when it should be your top priority. His three free steps: make sleep number one, set a consistent bedtime, and develop a wind-down routine without screens.
I had poor sleep my entire life and I just logged what is potentially the best sleep score in human history. Sleep is the most important thing a human does on a daily basis. I'm going to share with you what I did to achieve that perfect sleep score. They do not require $2 million a year and I'm going to give them to you for free today. Currently grind culture is the dominant way of understanding sleep, which is you don't need a lot of it and you're actually weak if you get it. That's foolish. Don't do that. The wise thing to do is to make sleep your number one priority. Level two is to have a consistent bedt. This is really important because you're telling your body we do sleep at this time every day. For my bedtime, I've chosen 8:30. That said, you do you. If you're a night owl and you prefer to go to bed later, that's okay. Level three is have a wind down routine. I know from personal experience that when I go to bed, anything that's on my mind all night long, I'll just think about it. Create a ritual, do some favorite hobby, avoid screens and avoid anything that's going to get you aroused.
