Sleep Reset Checklist
A compact checklist for morning light, caffeine timing, evening shutdown, and bedtime consistency during a sleep reset.

Use this as a practical reset checklist, not as a moral scoreboard.
- Get outside or into bright light soon after waking.
- Set a caffeine cutoff and stop renegotiating it.
- Reduce late-evening stimulation instead of chasing one more productive hour.
- Use a short shutdown routine to close loops.
- Keep wake time more stable than bedtime when possible.
