Pjama & Strick
Pjama
I’ve been mapping out a nightly routine to get the best rest, and I think a clear, step‑by‑step schedule could really help. How would you structure it for maximum efficiency?
Strick
The optimal routine follows a strict, measurable sequence:
21:00 begin wind‑down—turn off screens, dim lights
21:10 light stretching or yoga to reduce muscle tension
21:20 read a non‑fiction book, 20 minutes max, no scrolling
21:40 prep bedroom—temperature 18 °C, dark curtains, white noise if needed
21:50 write sleep log: temperature, light levels, caffeine intake for the day
21:55 meditation or breathing exercise, 5 minutes, count breaths
22:00 turn off lights, ensure all devices are switched off
22:10 sleep—track hours, quality with a simple journal entry
Adjust the times to fit your calendar; consistency is the key to efficiency.

That sounds pretty solid—clear checkpoints keep the mind from wandering. I’d maybe add a short check‑in at 21:30, just a quick “How do I feel?” so I can catch any lingering tension before the reading. It keeps the routine tight without adding too much disruption.
Strick
Adding a 30‑second check‑in is fine. Note your tension on a 1‑to‑10 scale; if it’s above 5, pause for a minute of deep breathing before you start reading. Keep the check short—no more than a handful of words—otherwise you’ll waste the cycle you just optimized.

Got it, a quick 30‑second check‑in. I’ll note tension on a 1‑to‑10 scale and if it’s above 5, I’ll pause for a minute of deep breathing before starting the read.
