Worried you’ll sleep terribly on your cruise ship? Same. Between the ship horn, hallway noise, late-night shows, time changes, and that “one more pizza” temptation… cruise sleep can get wrecked fast. In this video, I break down Andrew Huberman’s 7 sleep protocols—but with the real-world cruise twists I use to turn a chaotic cabin into a sleep sanctuary… so you can wake up refreshed and actually enjoy every sea day and port day. I’ve spent nearly 100 days at sea and cruised 14 times in the past couple years, and these are the simple, science-backed habits that made the biggest difference for me—whether you’re in a balcony, oceanview, or interior cabin. You’ll learn: The #1 cruise sleep upgrade: morning light (even without a balcony) How to build a true sleep cave (darkness + no blue light traps) The cruise thermostat strategy to get your cabin cold enough The 3–2–1 wind-down rule that actually works on vacation Why alcohol and late-night food can destroy sleep quality NSDR / yoga nidra (and how I’m still working on this one 😅) Bonus tips on caffeine timing, naps, and staying consistent And once your sleep is dialed in… I’ll point you to my next video on how to eat healthier on a Carnival cruise without killing the fun.
