Routine guide
The wind-down protocol
The wind-down is a discipline. It is not a hot bath, an essential oil, or a phone in another room — though it can include all three. It is a routine. A sequence the body learns to recognize. The faster you train it, the better it works. This is the wind-down our customers most often build.
I.
What the wind-down actually is.
Sleep is a state your body enters. It is not a thing you do. The wind-down is the set of cues that signal: it is safe to enter that state. Dim light, lower body temperature, parasympathetic activation, falling glucose, and a steady set of supplement and habit cues that the body learns to associate with sleep.
II.
The routine.
- Two hours out. Last meal of the day. Lights start coming down in the house. Ashwagandha to begin the cortisol downshift, and Probiotic 40 Billion if it is on the routine.
- One hour out. Magnesium Glycinate. A small glass of water. A book or a notebook.
- Thirty minutes out. Sleep Support. Reishi Calm Drops under the tongue.
- The room. 65°F. Pitch dark or as close as you can get. Phone outside.
- The morning. Same time, every day, every weekend. The body learns the schedule.
III.
What we will not say.
We do not claim our supplements treat insomnia, induce sleep, or improve any clinical sleep metric. The wind-down is a behavioral routine. Our products are dietary supplements, not medications.
