You can have those on in your house, right? Do what you can. If you can't do it first thing in the morning, Maybe at 10 a.m. when you have a little coffee break at work, can you take your coffee and go to the balcony or go out the front door and be outside and get some of that light into your eyes? Okay, there's many ways. And Let's be honest, Mel, some days you may not be able to. Correct.

And that's okay. Yes. Right? Fine. There are other ways to improve your sleep. You know, we can talk about five or 10 different tips. You're probably not going to be able to do them all.

Yeah. The most important thing about an evening routine when it comes to sleep is the fact that you need a routine. Right. Right? You have kids, Mel, right? They're older than mine. I have kids, right? I'm guessing, and again, I don't know this. I've not met your children, right?

But I'm guessing when your kids were younger, what you didn't do before bed was put all the lights up as loud as possible, get the music blaring, give them loads of sugar, and then try and get them to sleep.

We as adults are no different, right? With children, what do we do? We dim the lights. We lower our tone. We might read them a story. We create the environment that is conducive to winding down. One of the most toxic things about the modern world is this separation between work life and home life has vanished.

with emails, with social media, with whatever it is, we can still be working in our bedroom, in bed, and then somehow wonder why we can't afford a seat 10 minutes later when we've just had a stressful work email. I think the most important thing for many people, and certainly it has been for me, is one hour before bed, I make a mental switch in my head. I'm now on wind down time, okay?

So for me, and again, I want to be clear, Mel, Everyone's got a unique life, right? So what works for me may not work for someone else. But what I do one hour before bed is I make sure my laptop's closed. I will not do a work email in the one hour before bed, barring an exceptional situation. Okay, let's be honest. Sometimes stuff is going on that you want to handle.

But by and large, I won't do that. I have educated my family over the last few years. And it was hard at first, but everyone understands now that in the evening... Past, you know, one hour before bed, I don't want to talk about finances. I don't want to talk about household items.
