Sarah maintains a consistent sleep schedule, going to bed at 10 PM and waking up at 6 AM every day. She starts her mornings with a walk outside, soaking up the morning sunlight, which helps reset her internal clock. Throughout the day, she stays active and eats meals at regular times. In the evening, she winds down with a relaxing routine, avoids screens before bed, and keeps her bedroom cool and dark.
