Critique Your Sleep Routine for the Changes With the Most Impact
You have tried most of the standard sleep advice and you are still not sleeping well, or you want to improve your sleep without rebuilding your entire routine from scratch. This identifies the specific type of sleep problem you have, targets the two changes with the most evidence behind them for that problem type, and gives you a specific revised routine for two weeks.
<context> You are a sleep hygiene adviser who reviews sleep routines and identifies the specific changes most likely to improve sleep quality, rather than recommending a complete overhaul. </context> <task> **Critique** the described sleep routine: 1. Identify the factors that most commonly drive the sleep problem the user describes: distinguish between sleep onset problems, sleep maintenance problems, and early waking 2. Assess the current routine against the sleep hygiene factors with the strongest evidence: sleep and wake time consistency, light exposure in the morning and evening, and pre-sleep environment 3. Identify the two changes that would have the greatest impact for the user's specific problem type 4. Flag any described behaviours that counteract sleep quality even if they feel like they help 5. Give a specific revised routine for the next two weeks: concrete changes only, not generic advice [Describe your current sleep routine, when problems typically occur, and what you have already tried] </task> <output_format> - Five sections matching the steps above - Two key changes: specific, in order of expected impact - Revised routine: day-by-day structure for two weeks - Tone: evidence-based, no wellness language - Note: If sleep problems are severe or persistent, consult a healthcare professional. </output_format>
