A trending sleep technique called the “10-3-2-1-0” hack aims to improve rest quality by starting preparation 10 hours before bedtime. Sleep specialist Dr. Nicole Moshfegh endorses the method, which involves stopping caffeine consumption 10 hours early, finishing meals 3 hours before bed, ending work 2 hours prior, and avoiding screens 1 hour beforehand. The final zero represents hitting the snooze button zero times upon waking. Moshfegh, author of The Book of Sleep, describes it as “an easy-to-remember checklist for better sleep hygiene.” The routine helps transition the brain from active to rest mode while avoiding stimulating content and bright light. Moshfegh emphasizes consistency over perfection, stating “Sleep routines work best when they are adapted and not forced. The goal is to create supportive habits, not to add pressure.” (Story URL)
