Sleep Biohacking: Practical Strategies for Higher Mental Performance

Imagine that after a hectic day you finally have time just for yourself. What will you do first? I will wrap myself in a blanket and listen to my favorite podcast or music.
I'll quickly recap the day and plan for tomorrow.
I will check what’s new on the network or reply to messages.
I will fall asleep without thinking – my body knows what it needs.
I will open a book or article about sleep optimization and mental performance.

If you had to describe your ideal state in the morning that signals to you that you slept well, what would it be? I feel light as a feather and my thoughts flow clearly.
I will wake up before the alarm rings – naturally.
I feel like going straight into action, no delays.
Nothing hurts me and I don't want to fall asleep again.
I know that I am ready to tackle even challenging things with a smile.

Your body decides to wake up at midnight. What comes to your mind first? "That's a sign that something is out of balance. I have to find out what."
"I think I forgot to do something. I'll quickly note it down."
"The body does what it wants. It's okay, I'll turn around and sleep more."
"Why right now? I shouldn't have had that coffee so late..."
"A great time for a short meditation or breathing exercise."

How would you prefer to improve your sleep routine if you had all the possibilities in the world? A bed like in a high-tech hotel, with automatic adjustment of conditions.
A coach who will tailor the optimal rhythm for me.
No stress and mental calm before sleeping – that is the key.
More control over my evening habits.
The connection between sleep and my goals and daily performance.

Imagine that you are a person who sleeps ideally. How does it change you during the day? I recognize the essential things and I don't waste time.
I feel calm and nothing can upset me.
I am productive, but also more in touch with myself.
I am more aware of others and their needs.
I have the energy for things that I usually procrastinate.

Which of these statements best reflects your attitude towards quality sleep? Sleep is a tool. If I master it, I will master performance.
Without proper sleep, life falls apart.
Sleep is a luxury that one must consciously allow oneself.
It is one of the things that shows our discipline.
If I sleep well, I live authentically.

What sound would you prefer to accompany you while falling asleep? The quiet rustling of the forest or the wind.
A recording with affirmations or guided relaxation.
The sound of clock ticking or heart beating.
Nothing – complete silence is what I need.
Music with precisely chosen frequency for brainwaves.

If you had to create your "champion's evening routine," what would definitely be included in it? Reflection of the day in a journal or mind map.
Intense training or physical exhaustion.
Digital detox - no screens after 8:00 PM.
Hot tea or elixir for relaxation.
Ritual of gratitude or conscious pause.

Sleep as a mirror of the inner self. Which image best resembles your usual sleep? The surface of the lake – calm, yet every drop ripples it.
Fast river – strong current that constantly carries something.
Buried nest - safety, but hard to get out.
Desert at night - silence, but occasional storms.
A Journey in the Clouds – a lightness that must be earned.

How do you feel when you finally indulge in truly quality sleep? As if I had a new start in my hands.
As if someone had given me extra time.
As if I finally connected with myself.
As if I had an overview over the world.
As if I would dare not to be constantly efficient.
