Short YouTube segment (Wendie Trubow, MD, MBA, IFMCP) identifying common behaviors that harm sleep: alcohol (called "the devil"), sugar ("the other devil"), and late eating, which the speaker says is "not helpful for rest and restoration." The speakers recommend mild exercise—specifically a short walk after late eating—to reduce the negative effect; a 10-minute walk is mentioned.
