Paulo walking an avenue at dusk in winter

Hello, I’m Paulo

I live in Porto. For ten years I worked night shifts on a hospital ward, and I slept badly for most of them. When I moved to days I read everything I could about sleep and tried it on myself, one habit at a time.

Lights Low is what I learned, in half an hour a week: one evening habit per episode, what the research says about it, and how it went when I tried it. I record it in a closet lined with coats, which is the quietest room in the flat.

If you enjoy what I make, there are a few ways to help me keep making it.
