How the French Sleep Better

French bedrooms are for sleeping. No television, no desk, no exercise equipment. The temperature is cool. The curtains are heavy. The phone charges in another room. The bedroom is a sanctuary, not a multipurpose space.

Tonight, remove one non-sleep item from your bedroom. The TV remote, the laptop, the stack of work papers. The French bedroom edit is gradual but absolute: if it does not serve rest or intimacy, it leaves.

French sleep researchers recommend the "90-minute rule": go to bed at a time that gives you complete 90-minute sleep cycles before your alarm. Six hours (4 cycles) of uninterrupted sleep is more restorative than 8 hours of fragmented sleep. Calculate backwards from your wake time and commit to that bedtime.
