Rosh Hashanah is just a few days away. As we reflect on the past year, many of us set resolutions. We think about our careers, finances, and fitness. Yet, we often overlook the one thing that shapes our daily lives: sleep.

Sleep is the foundation for everything else. A new year is a perfect time to reset our sleep habits.

Five Sleep Resolutions Worth Making

Here are five sleep resolutions that can truly make a difference, especially for men over 50. Choose one that resonates with you:

1. Consistent Wake-Up Time

   Pick one wake-up time and stick to it every day, even on weekends. Your body doesn’t recognize the days of the week. Consistency is key.

   
   

2. Morning Daylight

   Get real daylight within an hour of waking. Just ten minutes outside can do wonders for your sleep clock. It’s more effective than many supplements.

   
   

3. Forget Weekend Catch-Up

   Retire the idea that you can catch up on sleep over the weekend. Sleep doesn’t work like a bank account. What you lose during the week stays lost.

   
   

4. Create a Wind-Down Routine

   Build a real wind-down routine before bed. Avoid scrolling in the dark. Instead, create a transition: dim the lights, turn off screens, and follow the same steps each night.

   
   

5. Reevaluate Your Norm

   Pay attention to what you’ve started calling normal. If you’ve stopped expecting to wake up rested, that’s not just aging. It’s a habit that can be changed.

   
   

The Importance of Teshuvah

Teshuvah, at its core, is about returning to who you really are. Sleep restoration works the same way. It’s not about chasing something new; it’s about returning to the restful sleep we once had.
