UNOP Neuro-Hack 18 Power Down Protocol - Let Darkness Do Its Job
How to Do It (Steps)
Screen-Off Window: 90 minutes before bed, shut down all electronics.
Red or Amber Lights: If you need illumination, switch to low, warm-toned bulbs.
Calming Activities: Replace screen time with reading, journaling, or slow music.
No Late Stimulants: Avoid caffeine, heavy work, or stressful media in the evening.
5M2S Key Point
Your brain can’t flip the “sleep switch” under bright lights and constant stimulation. Dim everything down to signal real rest.
Origin
Rooted in circadian rhythm science and best practices from multiple sleep clinics, as well as Huberman Lab’s evening wind-down guidelines.
