THE LATE HOUR
The late hour
isn’t a time problem.
It’s a handoff problem.
Bedtime delay rarely comes down to willpower.
It’s a systems issue—shaped by autonomy,
friction, and the absence of a clear off-ramp.
Most nights don’t unravel all at once.
They slip—one decision, one delay,
one unfinished loop at a time.
This guide helps you understand what’s really driving the delay, and how to design a calmer handoff into sleep.
