Canon

Huberman: sleep quality is determined more by your environment (temperature, light, sound) than by your willpower to 'try harder to sleep.' Cool the room to 65-68°F, eliminate all light sources, and use your bed only for sleep.

Highlights

Morning sunlight exposure is the most powerful circadian signal
Huberman: viewing bright light within 30-60 minutes of waking sets your circadian clock more powerfully than any supplement, drug, or behavioral tool. 10 minutes on clear days, 20-30 on cloudy days.
