Venkat, a senior engineering manager in a global tech firm, came to me feeling constantly drained.
He said:
โEven if I sleep 8 hours, I wake up tired. Itโs like my brain never resets.โ
He had already tried:
โข Sleeping in on weekends
โข Avoiding late-night coffee
โข Tracking his REM cycles
Still, no change.
The real issue?
Too much screen time before bed.
No wind-down ritual.
Erratic dinner timings.
He was getting time in bed, but his body was still in โwork mode.โ
We built a simple evening routine:
โข Devices off by 9:30 PM
โข Light walk after dinner
โข Short journaling to offload mental clutter
In just 3 weeks:
โข His 9 AM energy levels improved
โข He felt calmer and more focused
โข His team noticed the shift
๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐:
Sleep isnโt just about duration. Itโs about quality.
And quality starts before your head hits the pillow.

Youโre not alone โ and often, itโs not the sleep thatโs brokenโฆ itโs the wind-down.
Whatโs one thing that helps you relax before bed?
