The “10-3-2-1-0" formula for better sleep

<div>
A productive day starts with a great morning, and you can't have a great morning if you didn't get any rest the night before. This simple five-part formula will help you get to bed earlier, sleep better, and wake up feeling rested.
If you want a simple approach to sleeping better and taking control of your mornings, Fitness coach Craig Ballantyne at the Early To Rise blog recommends you follow the "10-3-2-1-0" formula:
<blockquote>
<ul>
	<li>10 hours before bed: No more caffeine 
</li>
	<li>3 hours before bed: No more food or alcohol 
</li>
	<li>2 hours before bed: No more work 
</li>
	<li>1 hour before bed: No more screen time 
</li>
	<li>0: The number of times you hit the snooze button in the morning 
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
