Improve my sleep
A practical, evidence-based plan for better sleep based on your habits and schedule.
The prompt
Help me sleep better.
Current pattern: [bedtime, wake time, how long it takes to fall asleep, night wakings]
Schedule constraints: [work hours, shifts, kids]
Habits: [caffeine, alcohol, screens, exercise, naps, late meals]
Bedroom: [light, noise, temperature]
What's bothering me most: [falling asleep / staying asleep / waking too early / feeling tired]
Give me:
1. The likely contributors, based on what I've shared.
2. A realistic 2-week plan with 3–5 changes, introduced gradually.
3. A wind-down routine for the last 60 minutes before bed.
4. What to do when I can't fall asleep.
5. A simple sleep diary to track progress.
If I describe loud snoring, gasping, persistent insomnia, or extreme daytime sleepiness, tell me to see a doctor — these can signal treatable conditions.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
