Step 1: The Biology Hack (1 Hour Before)

The "Blue Light" Sunset: House lights dim to 50%. All screens docked in the kitchen. This signals melatonin production. If they complain, play an audiobook (no screen, just sound).

Step 2: The Brain Dump (Journaling)

Keep a notebook by the bed. Ask these 3 questions:
  • 1. What was one thing that made you laugh today?
  • 2. What is one worry you want to "put on the shelf" for tomorrow?
  • 3. What are you grateful for? (Name 3 small things).

Step 3: The 4-7-8 Breath

This physically forces the nervous system to switch from "Fight or Flight" to "Rest and Digest".

  1. Inhale through nose for 4 seconds.
  2. Hold breath for 7 seconds.
  3. Exhale through mouth (whoosh sound) for 8 seconds.
  4. Repeat 4 times.
